Whether you’re a Capricorn like me, or a Taurus like my mom, there’s a perfect nail polish designed just for you. I love red nail polish, but I’ve been stepping out of my comfort zone and experimenting with some other colors. I’ve got several Chanel nail polishes including my faves, Forbidden (gifted to me by a friend) and Pulsion (a limited edition I purchased while visiting Chicago). I also got a Formula X in a taupe color (#254), and a OPI Nail Envy in Hawaiian Orchid. When I get my first mani-pedi of the Spring, I usually opt for something […]
Beauty Review: QVC's Christmas Advent Calendar
Just before Thanksgiving, two of my friends and I purchased the QVC Christmas Advent Calendar. Katy, Cindy, and I couldn’t until December 1st so we could start discovering some of QVC’s top selling beauty brands, like Josie Maran, IT Cosmetics, Mally, Kate Somerville, philosophy, and others. Each morning at work, we could excitedly talk about that morning’s beauty gift, whether it was a moisturizer, a perfume, a mascara, or a lipgloss. It featured 24 hair, skin, or fragrance products from 21 different beauty brands. It contained sweet little surprises every day! Unbeknownst to the other, we each put on the […]
Summer Fashion: Make It Your Own
“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” – Gianni Versace I’m not one for trends. I like the trends, but they don’t always like me or my body shape. So Gianni Versace was right when he said “don’t make fashion own you.” I dress for comfort and for the way I live. I wear scrubs every day, so when it’s time to go out, I like to dress up and wear high heels. But with summer right […]
My Week in Pins… Nailed It!
In browsing Pinterest this week, I’ve been seeing some really cool nail polish colors and designs. So this week in pins, I decided to show off several different nail polish colors and styles that I’m really digging. These stylish nail colors can be worn for work and play! On a personal note, I’m currently wearing OPI Pink of Hearts 2012 – “You Glitter Be Good to Me” and “I Think in Pink”. Go to “The PolishAholic” to check out her review of the Pink of Hearts duo. I’m also a fan of OPI “I’m Not Really A Waitress” (red) and […]
A Few of My Favorite Things: Products I Love!
There are certain things that I like, and then there are other things that I love. Here are some of the skincare and haircare products I love and currently use. I have a fairly low-maintenance skincare and haircare routine, which is a blessing considering the fact that I’m nearing the big four-oh (40)! My skincare routine is simple. I wash my face with Mary Kay facial cleansing cloths. Then I moisturize with either Josie Maran Argan Oil (mornings) or grapeseed oil (at night). I never wore make-up growing up, except maybe concealer. I did experiment with make-up several times in either high […]
