Having always been intrigued by the monthly beauty box subscriptions I see various bloggers sharing, I finally pulled the plug and signed up for Ipsy late in the fall. I've gotten two bags thus far and they are fun to receive. January was better than December and I hope I'll find some cool makeup I wouldn't normally try from a shipment. I was ...

St. Patrick’s Day Nails
These were Pinterest-inspired and I had them done at my local salon today. Aren't they cute? I decided to try this nail art with gel this time (last time I did regular polish), so I'm hoping they won't be chipped for St. Paddy's Day and will last a big longer. Here's the pin that was the inspiration but I asked my nail girl to go with shamrocks ...

If you don't already know what the Tinkle is, I bet you saw this headline and gave it pause, right? So this is the Tinkle: It's a tiny little razor used for removing fine hairs from your face. I first ordered them for my 14 year old, who has hit that stage where he has a little bit of a 'stash that isn't quite ready for a big boy razor. I ...
Face Update: 5 Months after my Laser Treatment Disaster
Two separate people last week asked me for an update on my IPL facial laser disaster from last April. You can click to read, but if you missed it, I basically went for a laser treatment on my face in the spring and it did not go well. It's called an IPL and I was looking to get rid of some age spots and tone down some of my freckles. I had never ...
You Will Never Need a Manicure Again: Introducing Color Street – Easy #DIY
How much did you spend on your last manicure with tip? $20? $25? And how much time did you spend getting to the salon and getting the nails done? Last question: how long did the manicure last?
