I really try to stay on the sunny side of life, and when I encounter something I don’t like I simply chalk it up as a lesson learned, make a note of it, and move on. In that vein I try not villify products on this blog because sometimes just because it doesn’t work for YOU doesn’t … Continue reading »
During Fall Fashion Week in New York I couldn’t help but notice there was a lot of mint green eyeliner on the runways (and yellow and orange!). Who comes up with this stuff? I am sure that this will not come as surprise to you but I can’t pull off mint green eyeliner. However, I … Continue reading »

I think I mentioned before that in Junior High I got a taste of purple makeup and I liked it. Maybe I liked it too much, BUT in my defense Prince and the movie “Purple Rain” were HUGE, everyone was doing it. Honest. As a an adult I have pretty much steered clear of purple, … Continue reading »
