30 is not the new 20? What?

Think you have 10 more years to get your shit together? You might be wrong about that, like really wrong. Check out this short TED talk which says otherwise.  I am dying to know your thoughts on this video so leave some comments below.

The Perfect Red Lip

perfectredlip

 The perfect red lip to each person means something totally different. For me in the fall it means a red thats more purple, in the winter I’m talking about a true blue red, in spring I’m into something a bit more pinker but as the temperature rises for the summer what I’m talking about is a natural flushed lip.

I love them because they are super affordable, clean and decidedly not sketchy.

So when I moved to Chicago, I was wondering how I was going to get my sketchy massage on? Continue reading

In 2007, I was introduced to the Clarisonic by my aesthetician, who at the time despite trying super hard and being one of the best in the city could not clear my skin, suggested I try this device. I used it pretty faithfully for about a year, with really no life changing results. Continue reading
