Manicure Monday: London Calling
With British mania sparked by the upcoming Olympic Games in London, I absolutely had to create a manicure inspired by the hype. I’ve had this Manicure Monday planned for months, ever since Editor-in-Chief Kristine sent me Rimmel London’s Instant Art Press On Color nail stickers with a British flag pattern. I knew I had to […]
Beauty, Simplified
You may be the kind of girl who isn’t big on wearing makeup because she thinks it takes too much time. You could be the girl who would love to wear makeup regularly, but only wears it when she’s going out for a night on the town. Maybe you’re the girl who knows everything there […]

Brand Spotlight: Rituals, Amsterdam
I was first introduced to Rituals, a spa brand from The Netherlands, while working in the Marie Claire beauty closet. MC works on tons of international stories, and the best products from around the globe are often spotlighted. While these stories are always fun to read, they’re really tricky to work on. Some brands are impossible […]
My Journey of Hair
In January of 2008, I made a decision. It was my senior year of high school, and a time of uncertainty. Where would I be a year from then? What would I be doing? Who would I be friends with? For most people, it’s a big decision-making time. This decision was unlike many that others […]
Is Your Makeup Too Old?
We may all be guilty of hanging onto makeup a little too long, myself included. I’m sure most of us may even keep products as long as possible, only making the official decision to chuck them when they start to clump, smell, or change color. Unfortunately, by the time your makeup starts to stink, it’s […]
Manicure Monday: Sweet Floral
Happy Manicure Monday! After a great holiday weekend, I’m feeling flirty and floral today. I decided to try to take the difficulty level of my manis up a notch this week – but don’t worry, they’re still totally DIYable. Just like my leopard print manicure, the best part about this nail art is that it doesn’t […]
