You don’t have to be a teenager to rock some fun, alternative nails. Some really fun options for nails have made their way across my desk over the past few weeks & I’d love to share them with you. They’re all stick-on versions, so if you hate to wait for your nails to dry, one […] Read more…

BRILLIANT BEAUTY(FYING) GADGETS
I’d like to believe that technology has enabled us to work smarter & save so much time that we have more & more opportunity to do the things that we really love (like salon & spa treatments, of course).

Since I can remember, I’ve always had & always loved Revlon nail colours. They are such winners & this one (called ‘Rich’) is no exception.

How about adding a finishing touch to your outfit when going to your next party or event by ‘dressing’ your nails to complement your outfit?

5 fun ideas to end off breast cancer month {plus: fave pink beauty products}
The realities of breast cancer are harsh, but creating awareness, raising money, celebrating survivors & those who battled it, & doing your examinations, don’t have to be boring or make you sad….
