Historically, November has not been my finest month. One November, I lost my car and reported it stolen. Years ago in November, I got a DUI (and yes, I just admitted that on the Internet). And for the past two Novembers, I’ve gotten weird injuries that kept me on the DL for three months and … Read more
Oh, primer. Without you, we’d be slapping foundation atop our moisturizer with the potential for a shiny, makeup slip ‘n slide situation within hours (and we all know slip ‘n slides are for frat parties, not faces). I have dry skin, so the risk of looking like an oil slick isn’t really an issue, but … Read more
It’s 3 a.m. and I must be lonely hearing things because that sounds like a new Matchbox Twenty song on the radio. I kid. They are actually back (didn’t see that one coming) and have a new single that I’m digging—“She’s So Mean.” I like it because I believe most of us ladies have a little … Read more
Ask and ye shall receive (sometimes). All I wanted for Valentine’s Day was a stuffed Boo dog and whaddya know…a LIFE-SIZE one showed up on my doorstep yesterday in a Nordstrom box (apparently, it’s the VIP Boo, complete with pink, monogrammed hoodie). #SoBlessed. Obviously, I adore my new, little bundle of joy, but things definitely … Read more
Well, I think I’m pregnant from listening to the new Justin Timberlake album. If you thought he brought sexy back in 2006, he’s redefining makeout/babymaking music with The 20/20 Experience. You can stream the 70 minutes of smooth crooning for free on iTunes; I’m especially digging “Pusher Lover Girl,” “Don’t Hold the Wall,” “Tunnel Vision,” “Spaceship … Read more
I mean, who DOESN’T want pink/purple/blue hair à la Lauren Conrad, Katy Perry, and My Little Pony? (I personally never owned a single My Little Pony, but won’t judge you if you did.) Rainbow manes in the form of a dipped ponytail, highlights, or full head of hair are the current capital of Trend City, but if … Read more
Ever wonder if you’re wearing the right makeup for your eye color? I’m a brown-eyed girl (and yes, love the song), so am always looking for the best hues to make my peepers pop. Luckily, Allure read my eyes mind and revealed its picks for just that. I took the mag’s advice on the gold … Read more
I don’t whip up elaborate meals (due to my extreme lack of patience), but I do like to eat healthy, so when I’m not dining out and have hit my Whole Foods quota for the week, I need quick, easy options that do a body good. My friend Kate introduced me to this salad a … Read more
Who’s nursing a food hangover? AMEN. But it’s the biggest shopping day/weekend of the year, so let’s focus. You couldn’t pay me enough to hit up a Target/Best Buy/Burlington Coat Factory on Black Friday (btw, dick move opening on Thanksgiving night, Target), but some of you crazies will be out there battling the masses for … Read more
Tomorrow is December 1. I mean…can I get a “WTF?!” It seemed like only yesterday I was laying on the beach with a margarita getting tan and now I’m just drinking (large quantities of) red wine and getting paler by the second. But whatever. I do love the holiday season and there are so many … Read more
