The Friday 5: Ryan Gosling’s Hottest Kissing Scenes

I came across The Notebook on ABC Family the other night during the famous kissing-in-the-rain scene and it literally stopped me in my tracks (on my way to the kitchen to pour more wine). I had forgotten how incredibly SEXY that scene was. Then I saw a preview for Gangster Squad, Ryan’s second movie with … Read more

The Friday 5 (+10): Highlights from Prague & Berlin!

Well. That little vacation from blogging was about ten days longer than intended. Oops. I’m so sorry, faithful readers–it will never happen again and I just slapped myself on the wrist so you don’t have to. But the good news is I have SO FREAKING MUCH cool beauty stuff to share in the coming weeks … Read more

What Girls Really Look Like Without Makeup

Newsflash: Below is what Photoshop/professional editing is capable of, and it’s used in 100% of the photos you see in magazines (unless they’re those “check out this celeb looking like shit on her Starbucks run” paparazzi pics in the trash mags).

I recently completed my last session at WIFH (Atlanta’s finest laser hair removal institute) and will barely ever have to shave my underarms again!

In Case You Were Wondering About Renee Zellweger’s Oscar Makeup…

I think we were all wondering. As in…was she wearing any? Don’t get me wrong; I don’t like to talk smack on people’s appearances, and when I watch Awards shows, I try to be 90% complementary, 10% snarky. You need to leave yourself some room to be bitchy in cases like, say, Kristen Stewart who … Read more

Let’s Talk About Sex, Baby

Dad, if you’re reading this, step away from the computer. Ok, now that he’s gone. This morning, I was on the The Bert Show (Atlanta’s top morning radio show, syndicated in Nashville, D.C., and six other markets) for the Women’s Panel, a no-holds barred session of lady talk, where we answered everything from how often … Read more

If You Buy One Nail Polish This Summer…

If you’re a nail whore, you probably already know about NARS’ collab with Thakoon, resulting in six vibrant, head-turning polishes available for a limited time.
