Love your lips people! Especially as the winds start to whip up, the air gets drier, and the weather gets colder this winter. eos (Evolution of Smooth) is a brand worth knowing. Their balm is the bomb! The orb-shaped packaging of their lip balm is super cool and makes them easy to find in the… read more
Wrinkles beware – Embryolisse has got their eye on you. This lightweight moisturizer absorbs quickly and smells heavenly. Its ever so subtle scent has just a hint of fresh flowers like gardenia and freesia. I swear by it, but don’t take my word for it. The hottest model around, Karlie Kloss says, “Embryolisse is where it’s at.”… read more
With a new school year upon us Mama has to make sure she gets her face on in time for carpool. I keep it very simple during the day. Elixir, BB Cream, under-eye concealer, chubby stick, and blush. For nighttime I like to jazz it up a little bit more while still sticking to a… read more
Lovin’ me some fuchsia lips these days… One can always blend into the crowd with subtle make-up and then *SHAZZAM* – you add pink lips and you become fabulous! Notice how I have selected images of women with different skin tones, different shades of hair, and different colored eyes. Truly this look can work on anyone…. read more

Hello friends. I’ve missed you. Sorry for the absence. We went away. My little foursome shut things down, lounged on the beach, and lazily lingered in each others company for a whole week. It was blissful and the break from technology allowed me to really think about the fingerprints I create on this blog every… read more
I have a love/hate thing going on with Target (it’s mostly love). For me it’s a dangerous place. I can go in for one small item and I have almost never walked out without spending $150. I need ONLY sunscreen and I leave with a t-shirt, shampoo, 3 different sized light bulbs, and a box… read more
Nothing like the first warm spring day to make you lust for new clothes that scream “Here comes summer!” In the weeks to come I’ll be putting away sweaters and pulling out skirts and dresses. Boots will be tucked into the back of the closet and socks will be pushed to the back of the… read more
THE GEL NAILS The gel manicure from this post – meh – could really take it or leave it. The issue is that I am a picker. Show me a pimple and I will show you how to pop it. A tangled necklace – I live to undo tricky knots. Same thing goes for chipping polish…… read more
