December 14th, 2011 · No Comments

Yes, it’s that time of year when those sweaters adorned with applique Santa or a glittery tree make their appearance. And no, just because its the season, doesn’t mean you have to wear one. You probably prefer keeping your holiday style to smaller touches that don’t scream “I’m FESTIVE!!!”. So today’s pretty present–Sally Hansen Salon Effects [...]

Pretty Presents #6: A Nifty Grooming Kit

December 13th, 2011 · No Comments

Men–they’re always a problem. I’m not talking about their lack of sharp thinking around this time of year (as in, Honey, of course a bracelet is what you want, and not a new Dyson), but the fact that you never know what to get them.That’s why I like to turn to grooming ideas. They’re always [...]

Make Nail Art

August 9th, 2011 · No Comments

I don’t know about you, but I prefer my fingernails to be bare. It’s not that I don’t like to draw attention to my hands, it’s just that the upkeep is too much. So I’m happy to coat my nails with a clear top/base coat, let them look glossy, and call it a day. But [...]

Sweltering summer, you’ve come so early this year. I’m not complaining, mind you, I’m just noticing the obvious and I have to say, I’m embracing you in full force. It’s time to ditch all those deep plums and boring browns, and lighten up with cool, unabashed color.
