Look, Valentine’s Day is okay. I don’t love it, I don’t hate it. I enjoy doing something small that says to my husband “Hey. You’re pretty great and I love you and all that” without going all out with some kind of romantic comedy gesture that is too over the top and hideously expensive. It… Continue reading ->
Having a sister who lives in Europe is a tremendously beneficial thing. I got surprised with the latest Urban Decay Smoky Palette at Christmas, which I hadn’t even asked her to buy for me! She was lucky enough to be in Barcelona recently (I know, right?) and visited the massive Sephora store there (seriously, Google… Continue reading ->
I’m going to let you in on a little secret. Target is selling the most versatile, easy, comfortable Summer dresses and skirts I’ve seen in ages. Well, that’s not 100% true.

It’s Autumn! The air is getting crisper in the morning, the evenings are getting darker earlier, and we can slowly stop waxing our legs as often for a few months, hooray! Actually, that last part is harder when you have to take a toddler to swimming lessons every Saturday morning. But still. Warm clothes! Scarves!… Continue reading ->
I recently needed some new cleanser, and I happened to be walking RIGHT PAST Mecca when I remembered this. Is that fate or what? I’m always happy to try a new cleanser, because I love finding ones that are just the right mix of foam and cleanser and that don’t leave a filmy residue on… Continue reading ->
Hello! I’m resurfacing from under a mountain of rumballs and Lebkuchen biscuits and left over lasagna and scalloped potatoes and a million other carbs to slip a quick post in on this last day of 2014. I desperately needed a new wallet, so I chose this one from The Iconic (now sold out) and my… Continue reading ->
This post needs no real introduction. I went to Hawaii and I made damn sure to hit up Sephora, Target and any drug stores I came across in our travels around Oahu. Here’s what I came home with!
