When I was little I was a gymnast. I spend hours after school in the gym working on routines. Hours that would equate now to a part time job. When I was old enough I coached. When I moved out I coached and filled the rest of my time working in real estate offices and teaching dance. Needless to say; I was always on the move. That's why becoming a stay at home mom was a bit of a culture shock. All of a sudden, you're not rushing off to work in the morning. You're not setting goals for work. ... View the Post
Makeup That Will Last Through Sweat, Hot Yoga, And The Apocalypse.
Let's be real; Summer is a real jerk sometimes. I can't even walk down to get the mail without a tsunami of back sweat cascading down my buttcrack. Gross? Yes. The Truth? Absolutely. As much fun as family vacations, lemonade, and fireworks are- you'd better expect equal amounts of burning your hands on your steering wheel, swamp ass, and melty makeup. Most of the time, I opt for a bare face because it's not even worth trying to concoct a hot girl disguise only for it to peace the F out the ... View the Post

Why Are Beauty Tutorials So Hard To Follow?!
I am sitting here on a Friday night, watching a gorgeous woman do some sort of phalange witchcraft on her nails with a slew of nail polish and magic wands. Okay, they weren't wands. I think they were dotting tools, but they might as well have been wands the way she was creating magic with them. Her nails were perfection, this Facebook nail guru. I was hooked, mesmerized even. She started by brushing pink tips on each nail with the ease of a master craftsman. Then she made sharp lines of ... View the Post
How Glitter Is Taking Over The World
First it was contouring and highlighting. Then it was strobing, which is, essentially, just highlighting and skipping the contour. Every cosmetics brand everywhere has released highlights under various names. Illuminators, Shimmering Skin Perfectors. Sensual Skin Enhancers.

I Dont Care If My Kids Hate Me
We had a rough morning. My nine year old is one of those kids that does everything at the same speed, no matter how many times I asked her to pick up the pace. This particular morning, she decided to eat breakfast. Now usually, eating early in the morning makes her sick, but for whatever reason, today she needed breakfast.
