Ashley Hesseltine Recently, I had to grab some drugstore sunscreen in a pinch and was instantly drawn to Hawaiian Tropic’s SPF 20 Shimmer Effect Lotion. I like SPF 20 because it’s higher than 15 but less than 30. You can just call me a mathematician after that astute statement. I also like the idea of a subtle … Read more
Being that Atlanta is completely landlocked and hot as you-know-whats (rhymes with malls) in the summertime, I try to take as many beach trips as possible (hence my last post and the reason for a W+P weeklong break). So I’m always on the hunt for the best products for my beach bag. I’ll get to … Read more
Remember life before Spanx? I try to block it out. Well, the beloved tummy-tucking, thigh-thinning, ass-boosting, man-repelling shapewear has just released its new Star Power collection, and it…is…powerful. The leggings are made of some magical material that makes you look like the lower-body hybrid of Pippa Middleton and Gisele. I mean, you can’t even tell … Read more
I remember it like it was yesterday. MLK weekend of my freshman year in college (2001), and I had flown home for a “romantic weekend” with the guy I was dating before I left for school. He didn’t have a cell phone (or knowing the dudes I dated back then, it was prepaid and he … Read more
Since we’re talking music festivals, don’t read any further unless you’ve seen this: I love The Obesity Epidemic. Such amazing energy. Can’t believe I missed them at Bonnaroo last year. So I’m en route to the Hangout Music Festival as we speak (#ThankYouHotspot) and am super pumped to wear a hippie headband, some sort of obnoxious … Read more
Hallelujah, it’s SHOW-SOME-LEG season! Whether you prefer to put your stems on display with dresses, skirts, shorts, skorts, jorts, or all of the above, it’s necessary they look as smooth, slim, and long as possible, a la Cher Horowitz circa 1995. Here’s how to glam your gams (and hair removal goes without saying, sisters). 1. … Read more
It’s Friday, which means time to skip out of work early and get your hands on the first alcoholic beverage you can find, but it also means the Witty + Pretty Week o’ Giveaways is coming to an end (waaaahh!). I’m sad, too. I felt like Oprah this week, just on a smaller scale (both … Read more
Designer Jason Wu is crushing it in the fashion world for his bold (but actually wearable) designs, eye-popping colors, and flattering lines, but his models really gave people whiplash at the Fall 2013 shows not only for their ensembles (and toothpick bods), but for their faces. More specifically…their fierce indigo eyes. And Lancome was like, … Read more
I’ve stumbled across some videos the past couple days that I’d like to share. And no, I don’t mean stumbled because I was drunk. Although I did drink moonshine last night, but whatev. It was Tuesday! You may have seen one or some of these, especially the one with 13 million views. But you know … Read more
October: What…a month. Not only is it HALLOWEEN, the best day known to man (and girls who like dressing like slutty kittens/nurses/cops), but it’s breast cancer awareness (which means pink everywhere!), AND national pizza month. I mean…I’m just glad my birthday isn’t in October or it would get totally overshadowed by these tremendous events (no … Read more
