My thoughts on pink eyeshadow? I’m into it. I have been ever since high school. My very first pink (because you never forget your first!) was a dainty pale pink frost — Seashell Pink, by Clinique — which I loved to wear from lash line to brow bone when I was a teenager. I know. But wait, it gets better… Sometimes I added a little bit of shimmery bright blue in the outer corner. 😉 Later in high school, when I REALLY started experimenting, I buffed my favorite pink blushes on my lids. One was Clinique New Clover, otherwise known...

Do you ever watch The Voice? Dude, I’ve been watching The Voice a lot lately, 1) it seems like they have a new season every 15 minutes, and 2) because I’m a sucker for any combination of the following: joking banter between Adam and Blake, Jennifer Hudson throwing shoes, and Kelly Clarkson talking a mile a minute about something and all of the judges teasing her for it. Even though (grumble, grumble…) the show usually, as of late, culminates in America voting for a young, pretty pop female singer in the finale, it’s my favorite current guilty TV pleasure (that...

Come on, we’re all beauty addicts here. You must have changed something lately. Mine is that I swapped black liner for colorful shades on my upper lash line. Mind you, I’m still extremely on board with black on my upper water line (Chanel 88 Noir Intense for life), but dang! — purple, blue, green, gray or brown on the upper lash line — basically any color other than black — is the business.

What’s the longest you’ve ever had the same hair style? Hmm… I’d have to say four or five years. I had basically the same long, dark brown layers from 2014 until just recently. Now it’s a little shorter, and I’m trying a center part, which is a new thing for me, and demi-permanent chocolate color, which is also new for me. I also went about five years between the ages of 16-21, also that time with long hair with layers well past my shoulders. I just realized something… Both of those long stretches when I had long layers were periods...

I might sound like a broken record…especially when I say, “I might sound like a broken record,” which is a phrase I know I use all the time, but I think it’s important to be open about taking care of one’s mental health. I know the holidays can be a stressful time, so here are a few things on my “Positivity Playlist” at the moment, in case you need a little help this week. Time for some Electricity on repeat… I’ve discussed some of this before, but when I was going to therapy a couple years ago (just needed someone...
