…. Basically, they are genetic freaks who spend a couple of hours in hair and makeup." ~ Rebecca Romijn Last week, Macy's posted a load of pictures centered around their Spring plus size apparel on Facebook. I swear, you would have thought they'd posted a picture a grisly crime scene with the amount of flack […]
It’s In The Box
Lately, I've been obsessed with boxes. But not just any boxes. These are boxes that I pay to receive. And I love them. My first box venture was with Birchbox. I cannot remember how I first learned about it (perhaps from Daily Candy? I really don't know) but the idea of receiving four or five […]
“When I see someone who is starved, they don’t look alert….
They don't have boundless energy. If you're too skinny, it looks like you're near death." – Kirstie Alley Remember my friend Marshall? I heart him for sending me this text message this morning.
“Beauty has a lot to do with character.” – Kevyn Aucoin
I was poking around on Yahoo's Shine today and came across this article: Do You Change Your Beauty Routine For Men?

I’m Giving Away $100
No, I'm not lying. I really am. A few weeks ago, I purchased two Groupons for one of my favorite salons, 6 Salon. My sister and I see Cori, one of 6 Salon's best stylists and colorists EVER. But I was so excited at the deal that I didn't really read the fine print, which […]
Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
Just for the record, Oscar Wilde deserves the credit for my post's title today. 🙂 As promised, dear readers, I am continuing my Wish List Plus post, which I originally started on December 3rd. I went researching more Plus Size websites, and decided that today's post will be dedicated to decadence. Mostly because every shop […]
I want candy! Daily Candy that is….
Once upon a time, I lived in the major metropolitan city of Chicago. One day, the beautiful Mo tripped across something leading her to a wonderful daily email from a website called Daily Candy. These daily emails were devoted to helping Chicago aficionados find the new, unusual, and best things in Chicago. My how I […]
