Hahaha *slaps knee*. I swear, my puns get worse with every title I make up.
Let’s face it. We’re no angels. Well, maybe you are but I sure as hell could use all the points I can get to climb a few rungs up Jacob’s ladder. So, in a feeble attempt to make up for a [...]

We’ve all fallen in love with a designer who’s name we just clearly had no idea how to pronounce. You’re so excited about your new find that you rush to tell your savvy older sis about him or her only to learn that a) you’re late on the discovery and b) you totally butchered their [...]

Spotted: Chanel and Louis @ Costco? - November 19th, 2009

About four months ago, I spotted a Bliss Spa and Aaaah set at Costco. (I meant to tell you, really I did.) But somewhere between those crazy checkout lines and all those free samples, it slipped my mind. I do remember thinking to myself, “Wow, what’s next?”

My question was answered today when I noticed the [...]

Vampire Elixir - November 17th, 2009

I confess: I didn’t really like the first Twilight movie. Found it a little painful to be completely honest. But I’m looking for any excuse to try out this vampire elixir I discovered on thenibble.com. Looks good doesn’t it?

Well, there might be one other reason to give the sequel the benefit of the doubt…

Mercury in Mascara?! - November 7th, 2009

Was recently on the site Skin Deep to see if there was any toxic ingredients in this eye cream I’ve been jonesing over when I spotted this headline: Mercury in Mascara?!
Given everything we’ve learned over the past 30 years about mercury’s ability to damage brain function at low levels, it’s hard to believe it’s still [...]
