We live in a day and age where couples get engaged and their first thought is “I can’t wait to post on Facebook!” instead of “I can’t wait to call my friends and family!” You know it’s true. And with that territory comes status updates that are more barf-tastic than a Jared Galleria of Jewelry … Read more
Let’s be real. “Springing forward” in the time sense effing sucks. You’re out Saturday night having a grand old time thinking you have hours of vodka-drinking and cute-guy-flirting left, then all of a sudden, the lights come on, the cocktail in your hand is your last, and Mr. Hottie McTottie isn’t nearly as attractive anymore … Read more
I am SO glad guest blogger Hayden of Pretty In My Pocket (download it now if you haven’t already, gurls!) covered this topic. If you’re anything like me in recent years, you’re worried about skin cancer and aging, but still need to be bronze when bikini season hits (no one wants to see me pale … Read more
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
