I have been obsessed with books for as long as I can remember. As children, some people love Field Day. Or Spirit Day. For me, Book Fair Day was the best day of the year. I remember bringing home the book fair order form with almost every book circled. Just hoping that one day they …
As a trend forecaster, there are few things I love more than an amazing product launch. Some launches are known for their innovative products. Others for their incredible packaging. But every once in a while, there is a launch that comes with both. And Pat McGrath Labs is notorious for checking all of the boxes. …
Over the past several years, I have become more aware of what I put on and in my body. Since discovering my food allergies, I have been so much more conscious about what is in different foods, recipes, and even seasoning. After having some questionable skin spots removed, I stopped tanning and started wearing sunscreen. …
I once heard that you can tell a woman’s age by her eyebrows. Now, I don’t mean the actual hairs or how her eyebrows look naturally. I’m talking about how we style them. Eyebrows tend to be a thing of the times. In the 20’s they were thin and rounded. In the 40’s, the heavy …
When it comes to beauty launches, I have two favorite times of year. Of course Holiday beauty launches are absolutely EVERYTHING. The packaging, the gift sets, and the sparkles!

It’s officially hot outside. Like “can’t go on a walk because it might hurt Mila’s feet” hot. Although the little puppy apple didn’t fall far from this particular tree, Mila loves nothing more than being outside. With that being said, we still spend a lot of days with the patio door open so she can …
I am going to let you in on a little secret. Whenever I apply my eyeshadow, I use the exact same method almost every time. In fact, I have used it every time I’ve posted a makeup look on this blog. It’s so simple and will help you create a fantastic look with any color …
There is something beautiful about a makeup look with complex colors and blending. Most makeup artists are true artists. They study color theory for a reason. However, there’s something equally beautiful about a monochromatic look. Of course, both can have their down sides. On one hand, you could end up looking like a crazy piñata …
As a research analyst, I look at beauty launches a bit differently than other people. I approach discovering new products almost like trend forecasting. When, Where, Why, and How are they launching? What void is this particular product going to fill in the market? Although I’m super small potatoes in the Beauty Blogger world, I …
