For years and years and years I’ve been using drugstore brand hair tools. While I haven’t had much to complain about when it comes to my Conairs (especially for their price), I have questioned whether or not high end tools make a difference. I mean, aren’t all ceramic plated straighteners basically the same? That’s why [...]

We all know that a good pair of wide legged pants does wonders for our figure. Last year retro silhouettes made a major comeback, and a slightly flared wide leg has only seen momentum since in the fashion realm. This season keep an eye out for a more colorful approach to these slimming bottoms. Hues [...]

I don’t think I can say it enough: I love Soap.com. College students, working women, stay at home moms, we are busy women! So when a service like Soap.com – where they do the errand running from you – pops up, I’m all over it. I don’t know about you, but buying household products is my [...]

While the majority of the country is still dealing with the nasty, cold weather, California has been having peeks of sunny days lately. I think we’re unfortunately diving back into the rainy spell for a bit, but while there was a chance I pulled out this little number to welcome in the warm weather. Last [...]

Tonight make a toast to your loved one’s and a toast to yourself. Indulge in chocolate gluttony, pop into a bubble bath with Lush’s Think Pink bath bomb, and enjoy a lovefest with old classics like Breakfast at Tiffany’s and Pride and Prejudice. xoxoxoxox

I don’t think I can stress how important it is to determine who your target consumer is when it comes to selling on Etsy (and beyond!). This will help you not only figure out your price points, but also how your product is made and how to best market your store. Get out a piece [...]

Call me out of date, but currently I only use my iPod touch for music. It rarely if ever leaves it’s docking station in my bathroom, the poor thing. But recently some friends have brought to my attention some fabulous fashion apps that are available. I thought I’d do a little more exploring and discover [...]

I almost always make my purchases online these days, and have become a bit of a coupon code guru if I say so myself. I can’t remember the last time I paid full price for something – call me cheap but my husband loves it! I thought I would periodically give you a list of [...]

Do you ever get to that point where you feel like you are behind on everything? Lately I’ve been finding myself not having the time or willpower to accomplish everything I’ve set out to do (case in point, the dwindling number of posts I’ve been able to get around to both here and at Craft [...]

Finally, my second segment of my San Francisco Bay Area explorations! This weekend I got to go on a mini vacation with my husband for his 24th birthday and was able to see some old and new sights. If you are visiting the area, I recommend you checking out the Omni Hotel on California St. [...]

I love stylish pieces that can be used in a variety of ways - versatility has definitely been my key to an affordable and creative wardrobe. Right now, I would say my ultimate accessory of choice would be a brooch (before you raise your nose at the idea, let me explain). Brooches instantly conjure up images [...]

Having mixed-ethnic hair has its ups and downs. While it’s nice having the thickness from my Asian half and the soft, wavy texture from my Caucasian side, my hair can have its bipolar moments. I have funky cowlicks everywhere, especially right in the middle of my forehead, making having bangs a difficulty. I also have [...]
