One day, awhile back, Aaron and I were lounging around on a Saturday when he remarked, “I hope our future children have the same hair color as you.” Hmm… where to begin? If our future children have my actual hair color it will be dirty blonde at best and not the bright blonde I like to keep it. Recently, though, I had been noticing a brassy-ness to the color and decided to do a little research. The cardinal rule … +more
The weather is still in transition, but spring really is just around the corner! While you’re still donning jackets and sweaters, why not go ahead and give your nails an update. If you know me, then you know I love nothing more than a classic red manicure. That being said, I am being swayed this season by all of the pale shades on the Spring 2013 runways.

Lately, this has been my beauty mantra. In the morning it’s a clean face, a little mascara, a bright pink lip and then out the door! It all started a couple of weeks ago when I went to see my agent and left carrying an over-sized bag of CK1 cosmetics that she had been sent.

Since my skin is extra glowing this week, I thought I … +more

When it comes to nail polish, I have become such a creature of habit this summer. It has been gel polish #34 at my local nail salon for the last two months straight! What happened?! I used to be so adventurous; even experimental with my colors but my obsession with this coral meets tangerine shade has brought all of that to a screeching halt. Kat, one of our newest contributors, did some research for me this week and found all … +more
Remember when you were 10 and the hardest decision you had to make was which hair bow matched your outfit that day? Those were the days! I have two younger sisters and a pretty crafty mom so our bow collection was massive. We had bows for every outfit and holiday and ranging in size from small to what-were-we-thinking! Ever since I cut my hair short about a year ago, I have been slowly increasing my hair accessories. I was hesitant … +more
