Who you calling four eyes......

Remember the days when wearing prescription glasses was a drag. I mean who wanted to wear glasses, they were usually big, bulky, or just not complimentary. And who could afford the really cool high end designer ones, the ones your insurance didn't cover and neither did your pocket! Well call me four eyes no more because now-a-days glasses are more than just glasses they're a...

Awww, February 14, Valentine's Day. A day for celebrating Love or is it? Everyone's got an opinion on this, either you love it, hate it, or you're just going with the flow because you feel the pressures of the holiday breathing down your neck and if you didn't do anything to celebrate it well that could spell TROUBLE!

beachy waves

After spending a day at the beach I love the way my hair gets these tousled messy waves. I'm not quite sure if it's the sand, the sun, the ocean water, or a combination of all but it's a look that I love and have tried to recreate, sometimes with success sometimes not so much.  After trying a few drug store brands and not being completely satisfied I decided...

I mean yeah it's nice...

I happen to be at Bloomingdale's this weekend and there it was...
