COVERGIRL #GirlsCan + A GIVEAWAY!

COVERGIRL #GirlsCan + A GIVEAWAY!

I grew up in the era of the Spice Girls – my childhood was a product of “girl power.” I did ballet and played the piano, but I also played soccer and went camping. If I wanted to do something, I did it. I had never considered that anyone would think there were things that […]

Manicure Monday: Au Naturale

Manicure Monday: Au Naturale

You might be wondering why my nails aren’t painted here. I put a lot of thought into this week’s Manicure Monday post, but not in the way you’d expect. I have spent countless hours planning the colors, patterns and techniques I use to create a Manicure Monday tutorial each week. But this week – and for […]

A Beauty Review: FAST Shampoo & Conditioner

A Beauty Review: FAST Shampoo & Conditioner

I never really cared much about my hair until I cut it off. In middle school, I’d throw a few braids or pig tails in and call it a day. When I started high school, I cut bangs. Until my senior year of high school, that was as drastic as I’d gotten with hair changes. […]

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s They’re Real Push-Up Liner

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s They’re Real Push-Up Liner

When Benefit announced their new They’re Real Push-Up Liner and said there was an opportunity to buy it before it hit stores, I couldn’t resist. I love makeup, I love makeup that’s supposed to make my life easier, and I loved the idea that it was exclusive. I was totally a victim of their marketing […]

Manicure Monday: Summer Sunsets

Manicure Monday: Summer Sunsets

Summer is by far my favorite season. There is nothing I love more than relaxing on the beach – I love to put my beach chair right where the surf hits the sand. It’s hot out, but with the water coming up and hitting my feet … there’s just no better feeling. Naturally, I had […]

Manicure Monday: Favorite Things

Manicure Monday: Favorite Things

I’m always looking for manicure inspiration everywhere I go. Sometimes I get inspired by a piece of clothing I own, sometimes I get inspired by a holiday or what’s on TV – and sometimes I just get inspired by the nail polish and nail art tools I have sitting in my room. This manicure was inspired […]

Lorde x MAC Cosmetics

By now, you’ve definitely heard “Royals” more times than you can count and you probably know her whole album by heart. But Lorde has more than just a one-of-a-kind voice – she has her own iconic style. That style landed her a collaboration with MAC Cosmetics, and we couldn’t be more excited. Let’s take a […]

Manicure Monday: Pretty Glam

Manicure Monday: Pretty Glam

In last week’s Manicure Monday post, I told you about the nail polish my little sister picked me up on her trip to South Korea. I’m currently obsessed with them, so this week, I couldn’t wait to use them again!

Manicure Monday: Mint Chocolate Chip

Manicure Monday: Mint Chocolate Chip

My little sister recently took a trip to South Korea, so naturally, when she asked what souvenir I wanted, I said nail polish. She came back with the eight beauties, plus some fun nail art studs. Obviously, I couldn’t wait to get started! A black and white glitter polish really caught my eye – it’s a […]

Manicure Monday: Back to Design

I wanted to thank everyone for the kind words I’ve been receiving about starting up my weekly Manicure Monday posts again. For those that don’t know, I’m coming out of quite a busy period in my life. I was applying to new jobs, helping to plan my sister’s wedding, and moving to a totally different […]
