    Timeless Fall Trend: Ladylike Croc Embossed Handbags

    While some fashion trends are fun and fleeting, others stand the test of time. This fall, I’ll be reaching for the usual suspects – plaid, great sweaters and 1,000 boots. But, there’s a new “trend” I’ll like long after the season is over. Structured and small, ladylike croc embossed handbags are everywhere. Available at a…

    UncompliKated Sunscreen and Make-Up Setting Spray

    For several years, I’ve been a big fan of Kate Somerville’s UncompliKated SPF 50 Soft Focus Makeup Setting Spray. A sunscreen and make-up setting spray in one, it is a staple product of mine for a lot of reasons. The first is probably the biggest. It takes no time to put on. You simply spray the…

    Drugstore Beauty: Ponds & Burt’s Bees

    I love a good Sephora haul as much (probably more) than the next person. But, there is nothing more gratifying than finding those wonderful drugstore beauty products that don’t break the bank. Today, I’m sharing one new favorite and another I’ve been swearing by for years. Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser: My grandmother used to use…

  • #Basic: Best T-Shirts

    #Basic: Best T-Shirts

    Hello, hello. For years, I have searched for the perfect t-shirts and despite my best efforts, have failed. I’ve tried inexpensive and expensive versions from brands that came recommended, but they all had issues. Some were see-through, while others could double as a mini-dress. Most developed a lacy network of holes in the spot where…

  • Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask

    Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask

    I love a good face mask. However, it’s not something I make much time for. I don’t typically wash off my make-up, until I’m ready for bed, and at that point in the night, the thought of staying up another 15-20 minutes is usually too exhausting. Overnight masks have always worked best for me, because,…

  • Sephora Gift Guide

    Sephora Gift Guide

    I have loved holiday beauty gift sets since I was in middle school. My dad used to get my mom perfume each Christmas, and with the purchase, he would often upgrade it to include a new eyeshadow/blush palette. I would immediately start using it and eventually, make it my own. Yes, I am a monster.…

  • Are We Doing Scrunchies?

    Are We Doing Scrunchies?

    Let me start by saying, I don’t know the answer to this question despite the fact that I was a HUGE scrunchie wearer in the 80’s. While some of the new, luxe versions can be super expensive, I found some more affordable options to try first.  One was faux leather and is no longer available at…
