…. 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.

“Beauty has a lot to do with character.” – Kevyn Aucoin

September 8, 2011

I was poking around on Yahoo's Shine today and came across this article: Do You Change Your Beauty Routine For Men? In it, the Allure Daily Beauty Reporter recalls how she stopped in the midst of getting ready for a date to completely change her make-up look from the one she'd been planning on to […]

Turns out, not all of Albert Einstein's smarts were related to science. Anyways…. This is going to be a post filled with random things I've learned over the past few weeks. In Detroit, it takes an hour and a half for the police to arrive at the scene of a (non-injury) car accident, but less […]

Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.

Bo Derek said that. The irony in using this quote today is that it's about that one item all women dread shopping for. Swimsuits. And if you don't know why I'm mentioning irony about a Bo Derek quote being used in a blog post about swimsuits, then you need to crawl back under the rock […]

Come To Your Senses!

January 21, 2011

Two weeks ago, I posted my first attempt at copying Daily Candy's Weekend Guide. I've decided I'd like to make this a weekly post (or at the very least a twice monthly post), and so without further ado…. FEAST YOUR EYES ON… I came to hear about Tess Gerritsen last summer when TNT aired a […]

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 want candy! Daily Candy that is….

January 7, 2011

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.

Oh, the tangled web we shop?

December 6, 2010

I, like most of my friends and family, don't have as much money for Christmas shopping as I have had in years past, and so over the past few years I've tried to develop a system to make Christmas shopping easier and cheaper without losing my mind (there are those that would argue my mind […]
