We all know winter can dry out and damage our hair, but what about summer? I've come to realize that the heat and elements of the summer can be just as, if not more so, damaging to my locks. Think about it. You have pool, lake, and ocean water, wind, humidity-and that's just to name [...]

What’s In My Beach Bag?
Yesterday was super warm and balmy here in Minneapolis and it called for spending some time in the sun. I dug out my beach bag and did a quick inventory since I haven't used it yet this year. I always leave it packed (even in the winter) so I can just grab it and go. [...]
Benefit’s Latest Offering
I'm a big fan of Benefit Cosmetics. My love affair started more than two decades ago with their cult favorite, Benetint, and De-Groovie, and continues today. Their box 'o powder, Coralista, is one of my all-time favorite blushes. That's why I am super excited for their latest offering. Later this month, Benefit will launch a [...]
Clearly Waterproof
Waterproof mascara. I am so not a fan. I have never met a formula that has worked for me and it's hard on the pocketbook when I constantly experiment with something new. It's a necessity in life, especially during the summer months, but man oh man... I just want something that is as terrific as [...]
On My Shopping List
The hubby and I spent the day hiking in Taylor's Falls (Interstate Park) so I didn't have much time to write a blog for Sunday. This park borders Minnesota and Wisconsin on the St. Croix River. It's home to many "potholes" that were formed in lava rock and has fabulous trails along the river. It [...]
Style Inspiration-Marilyn Monroe
Growing up, Marilyn Monroe was my absolute favorite icon. It started in 1980 when I saw a made-for-t.v. movie called "Marilyn: The Untold Story". Catherine Hicks gave a stunning performance and I was hooked. We didn't have computers, so I spent hours at the library and bookstore inhaling any and all information I could find [...]

This time of year we all start feeling a little more greasy and our faces take on an unwanted shine. There are many products out there that can help keep this problem at bay, but Clinique has created a new little miracle that really does keep your skin grease-free while giving it just the right [...]
Spin Your Web With “Spidey” Nails
I have never been a huge comic book fan and I don't know much about super heroes. But I do remember Spider-Man solving crimes and nabbing the bad guys on "The Electric Company" and that was pretty cool. And then, of course, there's the movie franchise featuring Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst. Wasn't a huge [...]
A Blush All Your Own
We've all been there. Your in a store and the blush looks amazing, but when you get home you find the color isn't right for you at all. None of us want to look like a clown and we all want cheeks that look natural. Well, now you can have a flush that is all [...]
Rainy Days
Yesterday was a very rainy in Minneapolis and I spent the majority of the day trying to keep our laundry room from flooding. In between changing and spinning out towels, I played around with instagram. I've been on it forever, but never really use it. It's actually pretty fun! For those of you that don't [...]
