Explore: NARS Audacious Lipstick
Have you tried NARS Audacious lipstick yet? It’s really good. The colors are beautiful, but each shade’s even coverage and creamy application make these lipsticks must-have additions to your make-up drawer. Also, the lid magnetically snaps in place, which is fun. From left to right, I’m sharing my current favorites, though I’m sure I’ll be…

The official start of summer is in a few days, but let’s face it. Summer has been here for a few weeks already, so it’s time to get my annual wishlist in order. Don’t you think?

Sorbet Colored Nail Polish from Sally Hansen
I’m a sucker for a good nail polish. I probably shouldn’t announce that or soon, hoards of nail polish salespeople will be banging on my door. But, I love how quickly a swipe of color on your toes or fingertips can change up your look or lift your spirits. Case in point, it’s hard to…

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pancakes
Today’s decadent and simple meal was inspired by my dad in celebration of Father’s Day. I had originally imagined making STEAK and POTATOES and other manly, Midwestern food, but whenever I think of my dad and food, chocolate chip cookies are the first thing that comes to mind. (He’s had a lifelong obsession with them.) Cookies are…

Behold. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpvFYree6u8 So, I’d love to know which Housewife franchise is your favorite? Mine is a tie between all of…

Our New Nest
