Stuffing Tomatoes: Trust Me, It’s Easier Than You Think!!
It’s taken me a while to truly understand how great a tomato can be. For years, I was convinced that there was no grosser dish than the red food with identity issues (Fruit? Vegetable? So confusing…) It took a tasty BLT by my best friend to make me realize that tomatoes shouldn’t just be relegated […]
Manicure Monday: Girly Girl
This week’s Manicure Monday features my Senior Dinner Dance polish look. I wore a long, black mermaid-style dress with silver jewelry. I’ve worn that dress twice before and kept the look simple with a classic French manicure. I wanted to keep the look classy and elegant, but I felt like I needed a pop of […]
United States of Tara: Question of Love
Love is some powerful stuff. It can move a person to actions that person would never engage in otherwise and endure situations that same person would ordinarily look down upon and advise someone else (in the same position) to flee. But how much shenanigans and hurt can one person really take, forgive, and move on […]

Burberry Thrifting!
Finding designer deals (vintage or otherwise) has always been a passion of mine. The thrill of wearing a great dress is only topped by the thrill of finding a one-of-a kind piece while thrifting or a surprisingly affordable gem at department store mega sale. Housing Works is a great place to try. On my last trip, I […]

Manicure Monday: Kicking Up the Classic French
I have to apologize – my Mani Monday post wasn’t uploaded first thing this morning. Between finals week, job interviews, and trying to pack my life away, the fact that I’m graduating in less than two weeks is bringing my life to a halt. But it’s also been the inspiration for this week’s Mani Monday! […]
A Beauty Review: Neutrogena Cosmetics
I should start out this review by explaining that I am a BzzAgent. I sign up for different campaigns, they send me free stuff, and I try it out. My job as a BzzAgent is to spread the word – either good or bad – about the products I’ve tested. I don’t get paid to […]
