(source) I love the healthy tanned look, especially in the summer!  But if you're anything like me, you know how hard it is to STAY tanned.  I tend to tan quite easily BUT my tan fades just as fast. I remember spending a week in the tropics last year and getting the most beautiful tan - but one week back to rain and...

Has anyone else realized how morbid the songs we sung as children are? Ring around the rosie is obviously about the plague. The Rainy Day song is of an old man dying.  And then there's Humpty Dumpty. The egg inconsiderably committed suicide without landing in the frying pan for all the king's horses and all the king's men to have a decent scrambled...

I finally got around to watching Star Trek into Darkness! I had been wanting to watch this movie ever since the confirmation of casting Benedict Cumberbatch as the villan. I could go on and on about this movie but I'll tuck away my geek for now. I'm not crazy enough to cosplay for the movies but I wanted to somehow incorporate the movie...

I have been using this facial scrub for almost a year and I love it. I wasn't even looking for a facial scrub when I went in the drugstore but the packaging just screamed BUY ME! BUY ME NOW!  I'll admit, I'm a sucker for packaging. Even more, I'm a sucker for packaging that has a bunch of words artistically printed on it....

When I first started experimenting with makeup, I never thought that I'd be obsessed with hunting down the perfect foundation. Really, from a layman's point of view, what's so fun about foundation? It's not colorful and fun like eyeshadow, and it's not versatile like nail polish or lipstick or eyeliner.  So what's so fun about foundation?  I was wrong.  Now, I don't admit...

Hello, fellow students! My finals don't come till the end of June but since it's finals season in parts of the world, I thought I'd share my updated exam season makeup routine. I did one half a year ago, but that routine has changed quite a bit since then.My friend once asked me why I took the time to put on my makeup if...

I've never actually seen one of these posts?  I thought it would be fun to review the contents of my travel makeup bag and see which items I really used during the week-long vacation and which items were the consequences of overpacking.  I've never actually seen one of these posts?  I thought it would be fun to review the contents of my travel...

So I was a bit more reserved at Ulta/Sephora compared to the drugstore but I think it's safe to say that the dent wasn't any smaller. I actually had to go back to both Ulta and Sephora to return items because I just couldn't justify spending so much money for things I wasn't sure I'd like... ...

So I may have gone a bit crazy and made a dent in my wallet during the week I was in Minnesota... This was taken I think, the third day in the trip?  For some reason, the lighting wasn't perfect...when it was perfectly sunny outside. ...

I always like to read other people's "What's in my bag" posts, it's like having a Peeping Tom Agreement...ish. It's those times when you can let your inner stalker fly free and no one will judge you.  Plus, the posts always give you inspiration on what to bring (the what not to bring part usually is screened right out of my head).  So...
