Fashion, Family, and Finally, an Update
Without going into specifics, I can tell you that my blog sabbatical was, in part, due to my complete mental breakdown seven months ago. Of course, I am being over dramatic- “complete” is an overstatement, but a breakdown did occur and it was difficult and trying and I’m still processing it all. Thankfully, I’m on [Read On]

Dark Circle Corrector
I am 30. 30. Well, technically almost 31. 31. I just let out a big sigh. Age is creeping up on me. I see it in the small lines around my eyes and miniscule creases on my forehead. But the thing I suffer from the most is dark circles under my eyes and the accompanying [Read On]
Five Great Wine Bottle Designs
When you’re in a rush to buy a bottle of wine at the supermarket and you want to try something new, what do you base your decision on? Price? Where the wine was made? Or what the label looks like? If you’re like me, you take all three into consideration, but the wine with the [Read On]
