My life consists of working and going to school. There really is no room for anything else right now. Any off time I may have, I am hellbent on seeing Jordan. I attend school for skincare Tuesday - Friday for 8 hours. By the time I get home, I am exhausted. People have the tendency to think this line of work is “fluff” work, but if I don’t take care of someone’s face and...
Forgive me for not writing in what seems like ages. I have been extremely busy with school, work and whatever else life throws at me. But don’t fret! I am here to update you on my busy, but extremely fulfilling life. :)
I started school 2 weeks ago. It’s so weird to be back in a college environment but I love it. I was apprehensive about the people I would meet because upon visiting...
Deliciousness for My Ears →
I am so obsessed with this website. I cannot stop listening. It’s a music site with a variety of different playlists created by different people. It’s like a peek into a stranger’s music library. :) And by the sounds of some of these people’s lists, we would be best friends if we ever met in real life.

My friends, they are so beautiful.
Friends are pretty much everything, the squish in our organs, the crinkles in our smiling faces, the decadent fun in shared adventures and secret promises. .:Lisa Kennedy Montgomery:.
I have met a lot of people in my life. They always start as strangers until something clicks and we realize we had no idea how we lived so long without this person. This person who understands you so well and has...
Smokin' Hot
Ah, the smokey eye. A concept that many of us love, but very few can grasp. We either end up looking like we got punched in the eye or the episode of “Sex and the City” when Carrie got deemed “Single and Fabulous?” QUESTION MARK! The horror!
Ok, a smokey eye. Let’s take this step-by-step.
Step 1.) Determine what shades you would like to use. Natural shades like...
Take It Off
When it comes to makeup removers, many people wonder, “Which one should I use?” Should it be oily? Is a towelette better? Do I rub? Will this irritate my eyes? There are many questions that can be addressed when looking for one that is perfect for you. Let’s do a rundown of what you can use that is fast and effective. Because in this world, who has time for anything but?

Red Hot
One of my friend’s resolution for the New Year was to wear more red lipstick. She asked me for some tips and I thought, “Hey! What a great blog entry.” Sure, this has been talked about time and again; however, people still manage to have questions. So here you go. :) 5 tips for mastering a perfect red pout.
1.) KISS. For anyone familiar with the world of COMM, you know this...

i wish i was rich enough to just go away for a month. Think i’d feel better then. I want to go to New York for a month.
Do you ever wonder about cancer? Or diseases? Or car accidents? Sometimes, if I think about things like that for too long, I feel a sadness that can never fully go away. I don’t understand how a child can be diagnosed with terminal cancer. Or how a 25-year-old is diagnosed with breast cancer and needs to undergo a mastectomy. Who decides to kill a young couple driving home late one night or...
UAPO-Akola Project
There is no greater feeling than knowing something you purchase is going to directly help another. That is why I am such a fan of organizations like TOMS, Lights Gives Heat and my newest bead purchase, the Akola Project.
My friend Kate is one of those people that gives off a contagious personality. She is always exuberant and her passion for helping others is directly correlated with her huge...

If You Have to Cry, Go Outside
This book is making my life tonight. Where has life taken me so far? Well, I am a smart, charismatic young women. I am 24 with a BA in PR. And I work at the mall at my house. Wait, what? Yes, you heard me. I do. I work FT as a beauty advisor.
I am consumed by all things makeup, beauty and fashion — and writing of course. If I could somehow channel all three of these into a job, my life...

Mercedes Benz Fashion Week
Alright kids. Now that I have a moment to myself and it’s 2:30 AM, let’s get down to business, shall we? First matter to discuss, FASHION WEEK! I wait for this all year. And although I may not be sitting front row next to Anna Wintour, I watch the live streams on YouTube avidly. I love fashion week because not only are there amazing clothes, there is amazing makeup as well. There...

This was the first live stream I watched and I fell in love with it. I of course love the bold lips but the floral prints were amazing. I loved the subtle sexiness with cutouts and sheer fabric. I also loved the jackets he incorporated into his collection. It was love at first sight.
Rebecca Minkoff →
I loved the movement of this collection. She used a lot of flowing dresses and shirts. It was gorgeous. I love the color combination of brights with more muted colors. I am a huge fan of greys. And how cute is she? I loved her outfit when she came out with her baby belly.
Nicole Miller →
Obsessed. I loved the bold prints in her collection. I love the leather jacket at the beginning and checked fitted dress. And all the pencil skirts. Oh who am I kidding. I want this entire collection in my closet. She really knows how to pair two different prints and make it look classy instead of sloppy.
Betsey Johnson →
I can never get enough of Betsey Johnson’s style. I love how she takes tough things like skulls and puts her spin on them to make them feminine. Her line is filled with bold prints and vibrant colors. Not for the faint of heart but definitely a dream for risk takers and ladies that love to be edgy. Her collection was very sexy and I love that the model’s legs were written on.
I have been a bad beauty blogger lately. I have been so busy! I have 3 days off this weekend and one of them includes a trip to LUSH so I will be doing a beauty haul video. I will also be talking about Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in my blog Wednesday so get pumped for that. I hope your weekend was as beautiful as you all are. You will hear from me soon. :)

After having a discussion on this on the way to eat for my boyfriend’s birthday with the gals, I feel the need to talk about it. September 11, 2001 was one of the most heart wrenching tragedies the United States has seen. Seeing that it is the 10th anniversary of the devastation and our televisions are being taken over by remembering that day, I got to thinking about how terrifying hate...
