When it comes to holiday manicures, you can go as simple as sporting the colors of the season, or you can go full-out cheese. I’ve tried everything in between – from simple, red nails for Christmas to tracing out a glittery tree with tape. This year’s Christmas manicure is a little more simple, but still pretty intricate. Read on to learn my secret behind creating this snowflake manicure!

Raw Dieting: Fad Or Life-Changing?
Every single day I pathetically sit on social media and learn every little piece of information I can about any new diets or exercises. Why do I do this? Because I love it. Although I went to school for this stuff, social media is actually pretty informative. Honestly, every time I check out social media, I learn something new pertaining to fitness or dieting — my latest being the raw food trend. This helps me to stay in the loop while I am eagerly awaiting my store’s opening (#TheJuiceHouse)! Continue Reading »
Helvetica: The Perfume
Every hipster’s favorite font is now wearable. Helvetica: The Perfume is a real thing, guys. The self-titled “scent of nothing” comes in minimal packaging, and has minimal scent as well. The scent’s designers claim the perfume is made up of elements stripped down to their purest forms: “air, water, and you.” $62 is a steep price to pay for a bottle of distilled water, but the bottle itself is made with real 24k gold, and its sleek box printed with (what else) philosophy in Helvetica typeface makes for fun gifting fora techie friend. There’s some meaning here, I’m probably just not getting it.
Manicure Monday: Shades of Purple
If you haven’t been able to tell by now, I’m obsessed with nail studs. I love how easy they make it to add a pop of color and texture to your manicure. I received some more studs in this month’s Nail Art Society kit – this time, it included small gold squares – and I just had to incorporate them into this week’s Manicure Monday. Read on to see what I did to create this manicure!
Manicure Monday: Gilded Gold
For me, manicure inspiration can come from so many places. My manicure is my way of showing how I’m feeling, following trends, and expressing myself. Sometimes I tie it into current events, holidays, or even what I’m wearing. The inspiration behind this week’s manicure? Fashion.

Manicure Monday: Mad About Plaid
There’s nail art, and then there’s nail art. It can be as simple or as complex as you make it. You can do a simple French manicure or you can create a complicated design. This week’s manicure? It’s pretty complicated – but that didn’t stop me from trying to tackle it. If you’re patient enough (and can keep a steady enough hand), I bet that you can tackle it, too.
Manicure Monday: On the Dot
As I’m sure you all know by now, I can’t get enough of nail art. I’m always looking for new ideas, techniques, and styles. Admittedly, when there isn’t a holiday or big event going on, sometimes it can be hard to think of new, creative nail art ideas. Enter Nail Art Society. I recently signed up for Nail Art Society, a monthly kit of curated nail art tools. After receiving my first kit, I’m in love. Read on to see how I completely this look – entirely from this month’s Nail Art Society kit!
Manicure Monday: Little Mermaid
For Halloween this year, my team at work went as hipster Disney princesses, and I was a hipster Little Mermaid. I went all out with my costume – long red wig, suspenders, boots, thick glasses, fork … I mean, dinglehopper – and all I needed was the perfect manicure to go with it! I decided to embrace the mermaid look and go full-on scales. Read on to learn how to get a mermaid manicure yourself!
