I’ve always wanted to try a finishing powder, but I was never quite sure which brand to use or why it was even necessary. I figured with my beauty routine (tinted moisturizer, powder foundation, blush), how would another product enhance my skin even more? So when I got the opportunity to try out Jurlique…

Lately I’ve been working on stripping everything in my home environment to the bare essentials – going more “minimalist,” if you will. This doesn’t stop at my wardrobe. I like to be able to go to my closet and put together an outfit in a matter of moments—and without making a mess due to…

Weekend Style: Kim Kardashian in Leggings

kim-kardashian-style

The buzz has been that leggings are mostly done going forward, but apparently Kim Kardashian begs to differ. As do I. Leggings have been a most comfortable transition into Fall, for me, because I tell you that I wore pants/jeans maybe a collective week all summer. I love how Kim tops off this outfit with…

I’ve been meaning to conjure up a post for the past few days about how delighted I am to have found Alice (which was introduced to me by the lovely Wendy).

homedics-restore-clean-water-system

I can’t be bothered with crowded gyms or diet pills, so to kick off my “fit body” resolution for the year, I decided to drink more water.
It’s easily forgotten how drinking copious amounts of water (up to 100 ounces per day) can do for your body: feeling better-rested, more energized, heightened mental focus, less water…
