The Friday 5: Chicago, Here I Come!

I’m heading to Chicago today for SPRING BREAK 2K13, baby! Oh. Well maybe not. But I am traveling to the Windy City for the weekend (do people still call it Chi Town or is that like saying HOTlanta?), and am very excited as I’ve only been once and it was a 24-hour work trip and … Read more

The Friday Final 4: A Girls Guide to the Games

The NCAA Final Four is in my home city of ATLANTA this weekend, so even though my alma mater Clemson isn’t in the tourney (ha, like that would happen), it’s still really exciting. Oh, and I went to a Conan taping yesterday and it was a basketball-themed show so it got me even more pumped. … Read more

5 New Fall Fragrances + What They Say About You

Take a deep breath through your nose (because no one likes a mouth breather). Can you smell that? No, I’m not talking about your vanilla desk candle (which is lovely, btw), remnants of your pumpkin spice latte, or your co-worker’s leftovers in the microwave (which hopefully isn’t any sort of fish product, for your sake). … Read more

Thinking About Boston

Another day, another horrifying tragedy. My immediate reaction (and I’m sure that of others) when I heard the news of the Boston Marathon explosion was “Is anyone dead?!” I thought, I’m sure there are injuries and tons of terrified and traumatized people, but please God, don’t let more lives be lost in another senseless act.  … Read more

Hey, Pretty Face: Peel Pads for Brighter, Tighter Skin

The bad news: We’re aging right this second. The good news: Help is out there…and it’s at Sephora. A number of factors contribute to youthful, bright skin and clear complexions: Cleansing, exfoliating, the right products for your skin type, water intake, exercise, sun exposure (I’m screwed there), good vibrations, etc. etc. etc. But I’m a … Read more

Fall’s Must-Have Accessory + YOLO

I’m pretty sure I’m the official queen of intoxicated stupid injuries, and since I hadn’t had one since July, I decided Saturday night was high time to rack up another. Whilst dancing up a storm on a HIGH stage/speaker/platform of some sort at Atlanta’s newest and wildest nightclub, Rush (don’t ask), I decided it was … Read more

The Friday 5 + 5: Best. Easter. Candy. Ever.

Oh Easter. A time for (boozy) brunch, candy bingeing, and people who never go to church turning religious for a day. We can all agree that this holiday is THE BEST for candy, but it can get overwhelming when you’re deciding what will be worth the inevitable adult tummy-ache. Let’s break it down in no … Read more

3 Products You Can Feel Good About

Last week, I participated in a career day at a local high school, which may come as a shock to some of you who know think I’m a complete mess. The event was through Athena’s Warehouse, an incredible nonprofit that empowers teen girls, and I got to conduct mock interviews and have some valuable (or at … Read more

Manicure Time: Emerald is the Color of the Year

Let’s Talk About Miley’s New Song and Video

Let it be known that I was singing “Wrecking Ball” at the VERY TOP of my lungs in the car this morning on the way to Flywheel. Like, my throat is a little sore. You guys, I love it. I’m sorry, but I can’t deny it. Songs that start out slow, then get all crazy/loud/emotional … Read more
