My 2013 Beauty Resolution: Get More Beauty Sleep!

We've all heard the expression "You better get your beauty sleep," or something along those lines, but have you ever really thought about what it means for your overall beauty to get a good night's rest? Unfortunately, I am a bit of a night-owl, as I do most of my work in the evening and well into the wee hours of the morning.

Beauty Spotlight: Extra Virgin Olive Oil

When most people think extra virgin olive oil, they usually think cooking, vinaigrettes, or about some other fantastically edible treat. While those are definite and noted uses, not a lot of people give extra virgin olive oil credit where it’s clearly due — in the beauty department.

As an oil, I feel like people glaze over extra virgin olive oil’s natural ability to condition, cleanse, …

The Ultimate Nude & Neutral Lip Guide

If you follow our blog, you’ll notice that I’m usually sporting either a nude or neutral lip. It’s usually because I’m more inclined to play up my eyes, but also because nude lips (when done right) are absolutely fabulous.
