The Friday 15: Best & Worst Celebrities on Twitter

Oh, Twitter. You have broken down the walls between celebs and common folk and made people feel like they actually know the stars they idolize. Hooray for that. I don’t follow many celebs on Twitter because WILDLY enough, many of them (with the exclusion of comedians) don’t have anything interesting and/or intelligent to say (I … Read more

Essie vs. OPI + a Visit to the First-Ever Essie Salon

I have always been an OPI girl–I love the funky-shaped bottles, witty polish names, and the endless array of cool colors. I wouldn’t even entertain the idea of choosing an Essie nail polish at the salon because of my brand loyalty. But when I landed in New York City a couple weeks ago and the … Read more

Quick Makeup Trick: Healthy Glow Without Shiny-Face

I love translucent finishing powder (I love Too Faced and Laura Mercier) to safeguard against shiny face syndrome, which can creep up (and screw up an otherwise pretty picture) even when you have dry skin like me.

Why Fest Season is the Best Season

Jean shorts, dirty feet, Cheeto-colored spray tans, bra-less nipples, day drinking, $12 beers, sweat ‘staches, and food stands frying every edible object possible. That’s right, lovers and losers: It’s FESTIVAL SEASON. And your ol’ friend Tom is here to discuss it. Running from spring through summer, this jovial season is composed of EDM festivals, beer … Read more

Just Another Mani Monday: Nail Care for Cold Weather

It’s official: Fall is here (and I’m not ready). I haven’t even switched out my closet yet, but I suppose I better get on it because colder temps are here to stay. But with the change of season not only comes a change in fashion, but also in beauty routine. When it comes to my … Read more

The Friday 5: Things Men Need to Know About Women

Hold onto your boxer briefs because this one is for the fellas! Remember a few weeks ago when we were on Q100’s The Bert Show women’s panel answering all the burning questions guys wanted to know about sex, self-sex, and more sex?

The Final Anniversary Giveaway: Beauty + Bedroom Must-Haves

Apparently, there’s a sexy theme on W+P this week: Legs, selfies, and now the giveaway I’m announcing. Sorry if you’re a prude and/or are easily offended by riske chat, but I didn’t plan it this way.
