Fall Nails
For the past few years now, super dark nails have been all the rage in the fall/winter. I don't think deep purples, blues, and blacks are going anywhere any time soon. HOWEVER, if you want to try something new, why not consider tones like gray, beige, or taupe?Here are five great shades to consider: Essie Nail Polish in Mink Muffs OPI Nail Lacquer in You Don't Know JacquesButter London in Tramp

Get Shopping!
It's back to school time, so that means you've probably been spending money on supplies, clothes, and books. I think it's a fun time of the year, even though I don't have kids and am not in school. The beginning of the school year is a chance to start over again...fresh...in the middle of the year.While you're gearing up for a new school year, it's a good time to re-stock your makeup and skin

Mommy Corner: Dotmine Day Planners Are PTPA Approved!
I'll be the first to admit that my organizational skills are somewhat lacking which explains my sporadic blog posts. Back in the day I used to have several journals, agendas, note pads all in different styles to keep track of my life and just because I loved pretty journals. Then technology took over my life and my pretty journals slowly disappeared. As much as I rely on email and electronic

Do or Don't: Blonde Streaks
Black hair or blonde hair? You don't have to decide! (Or do you?)I'm a natural blonde but I do enhance my color. Being a platinum blonde (at the moment) I am no stranger to the bleach and tone. I am also no stranger to non-natural hair colors. In the course of my life, I've had hair in many shades, including blue, purple, pink, and green. I'm all for self-expression and shaking up the
Beauty Review: Benefit Cosmetics Crescent Row:The Second Story
Benefit Cosmetics is one of the few brands that make me squeal with delight! If you're a sucker for cute packaging then your beauty stash is probably brimming with Benefit products. The Crescent Row perfume collection is one of a kind and in my books a collector's item. From box to bottle, everything about it is charming. When the box is opened, it's like walking into each "girl's" pretty little

You Can't Keep Your Paws Off This!

Seashells on the Beach
Last week I bought some nail art stuff for new looks, and this is my first try with it. This look features "shellies", tiny mint-coloured pieces of seashells. I'm impressed at how those look on the eyes, they capture the light in many different kinds of ways and the colour itself is just gorgeous. I also added some minty glitter beneath to give it more dimension. You + Eye Fixing Gel served as a

Do or Don't: French Manis/Pedis
I go to a lovely spa to get my pedis done. They offer great services and their nail techs are very detail oriented. I've never had a bad pedi in all the years I've been going there.Whenever I schedule an appointment, I am always asked if I want to have a French pedi. I always decline. In case you don't know, a French mani/pedi is when the base of the nail is painted pink and the tip of the

Beauty Review: Secret Beauty Weapon - Elizabeth Grant The Socializer!
My "death circles" as I so fondly refer to them as, are so dark some mornings it scares me. I am never without a good eye cream and finding a product that brightens the under-eye area is essential. Elizabeth Grant's The Socializer ($40 CAD), is being labeled as "Canada's secret beauty weapon" for de-puffing tired eyes and giving a more youthful and radiant appearance.If you're a social butterfly

Spray On!
I have a love/hate relationship with dry shampoo. I LOVE the idea of it. I'm one of those really bad girls who washes her hair every single day. I know I shouldn't be doing this, but it's hard for me to stop. I always think and hope that a dry shampoo will be the answer. But (now for the HATE part of my dry shampoo relationship) I have never been able to make dry shampoo work for me. I feel
Getting Health, Update...
I mentioned last month that I'm on something of a health kick lately. I don't really like to talk about personal stuff like this online, but lately, my new healthier habits are in the forefront of almost every aspect of my life.
