Review: Parissa Wax Strips - Legs and Body

I am typically not a cheapo when it comes to beauty-related things, as most of you can probably deduce. I do not shy away from spending money on hair cuts, or expensive makeup, or expensive face products, or whatever have you. But when it comes to waxing? I would much rather save myself the expense and do it myself. Not that I'm super hairy and would need to get it done...

7 products I would bring to a desert island.

So I figured that I would kick-start my blog back up with a post that talks about my holy grails. Basically, 7 products that I would bring to a desert island, should I have the space and room to haul all of the crap that keeps me looking my best. You might suspect that these products would probably fill up a large suitcase all by themselves, but I have found that I am actually...

Another tentative venture into blogging?

Why HELLO. You know that phenomenon where you start things with the best of intentions, only to fall off the bandwagon? That has been me with this blog. I started it with the absolute best of intentions, only to stop when life threw obstacles my way. First it was two jobs. Then it was my last semester of school.

The leaves have barely started to turn, which is both amazing (because it has fooled...

Fall Recipes: Pumpkin Pull-Apart Bread

With working full time, I haven't exactly had as much time as I would like to try out new recipes as well as blog here! By the time I get home it is dinner time, and I would rather relax than dirty up a whole bunch of dishes. Alas, days off are my only days to bake, and usually my only days to update (today is an exception; I work the late shift and do not go into work until...

Nail Polish Review - Nars Night Rider & OPI's DS Magic

I am a self-professed nail polish junkie. My history with it has been somewhat conflicted -- as a child and a preteen, I loved the stuff. My first ever nail polish was a Tinkerbell peel-off kind, which I lovingly painted on to my nails with utmost care, only to peel it off a couple of hours later. Then I went through a no-nail polish stage, where I think I owned maybe one...
