We've been chatting a lot about winter skin remedies lately and with good reason: it is frackin' cold out. I think I can speak for us all when I say our skin is parched like a dessert with no rain. 

So this week, we want you to review hand creams and foot care. 'Cause you know I have some gosh darn ugly feet and my hands are so rough it they feel like sandpaper! Help a sister out and send in...

My skin is actually as dry as a bad fruitcake. Blargh! It's like a desert on my face. Pretty soon, you'll start seeing cracks from lack of water. Winter just does me in. As soon as the wind starts to blow, it's like my body senses it and immediately dries up like a cracker. 

What do I use to solve my dry issues? A mixture of everday essential creams, a moisturizing serum and mask and I always...

Holiday collections. Whether it's limited edition, special packaging or collections of products that offer great value, the holidays mean that our fave beauty brands release some incredible goodies. Best part? They...

My season is fall/winter. By that, I don't mean that my favourite season is fall or winter. I mean that I werk fall and winter. I own this season - I just look better. In fall and winter I get to wear pants, sweaters and skirts and tights. I don't mean to toot my own horn, but skirts and tights are my thang. Also my thang? Not shaving. And with all my tight and pant wearing, I never have to!...

I'm always on the hunt for the best shampoo and more importantly, conditioner. Having curly hair means my locks are always parched and need moisture. A good quality shampoo and conditioner are key to keep my hair happy! 

Right now I'm using Pantene Pro V Curly Hair Series Shampoo and Conditioner and I'm enjoying it, but I'm due for a new bottle or two soon, so I want your recommendations!...

Dear Lady Gaga,

I have some questions. Mainly, WTF is up with you lately? I appreciate art, I get the whole 'express yourself', creating something beyond yourself and contributing to the world or whatever, but homegurl, you are going off the deep end. 

You have been dressing all sorts of crazy lately and I think it needs to stop. You're at the point of no return here. Bring it back to the world...

Remember that AH-MAZING Asian acne absorbing spot treatment I found (slightly by accident) and fell in love with? I love it a little too much and ran out recently. My skin has been seriously parched lately (it's like a desert), so I've been looking for a new spot treatment that I can use only on a pimple so it won't dry out the rest of my face. There's a ton of buzz about Mario Badescu Drying...

Even if you aren't into the whole white wedding, 'I do, forever and forever' thing (like myself), one look at Monique Lhuillier's wedding collection for fall 2014 will turn you into a Pinteresting, ring-envy having bridezilla to be. It's just that beautiful. The collection was inspired by the story of The Secret Garden and it totally comes through in the romantic, feminine fabrics and shapes. The...

One of things you may not know about me is that I have the world's ugliest feet. I really do. I hate wearing socks and in my infinite wisdom, I tend to buy the most impractical, uncomfortable, cheap shoes ever and as such my feet have developed a nice leathery feel to them. My heels have this great, hardened quality that just begs to be shown off in sandals. Ladies: I can rest assured that I will...

Life confession: I am always growing out my bangs. Any time they get to a reasonable length, I spend a few days glamourizing the wispy bang look and bam I cut them again - sometimes with kitchen scissors, always with regret. Unfortunately, this is just the beginning of my bad hair behaviour. I have traumatised my strands with many dramatic chops and terrible colours. Although I...
