12 Things To Give Up For Just One Day

Since we are still in the season of Lent (a religious, annual ritual of 40 days worth of Praying and Fasting) I figured that I would make a list of 12 Things To Give Up For Just One Day!



1. The headphones that block out the entire WORLD!
2. Anything you wear that hurts - The wobbly heels, The full body Spanx, the bag big enough  to carry a small child... You catch my drift.
3. The Second Glass of Wine. Actually, the first!
4. Saying "Yes" when you really feel like saying "No"
5. Slouching... Even on the toilet!!!
6. Texting! There is nothing sweeter than the sound of a friends voice ;;)
7. Processed food. Just so you could say you did it!
8. Procrastinating. And, no you can't put it off until next month.
9. Rolling your eyes. Difficult but extremely effective.
10. Listening to music on the radio. Try a talk show or the news... I recommend John Tesh!
11. Updating or visiting any social media website; as in facebook, twitter or tumblr.
12. Your birth control. Ha ha!!! WE KID (no seriously, don't give that up!)

Your New Spring Beauty To-Do List

Colour Boost Your Lids
Move over charcoal shadow - According to Glamour Magazine; Colourful lids are having a major moment!

Stylist Trick: Prime your lids with an eyeshadow primer or white eyeliner before layering colour on top.  This trick will make the shadow look more opaque and will add that extra pop to the look!




Add Some Texture to Your Kisser
I am sure that everyone knows all about Matted Lipstick... But here is a new trend! Ditch the Lipstick and try filling in your Lips with a Lip Pencil and dust a bright blush over the top.


Stylist Tip: If you're craving shine, add a little bit of gloss to the center of your lips.




Embrace Your Frizz
Yea, I said it! Embrace your frizzy hair because the Messy Bun is Back!!!!


Stylist Trick: Put your hair into a neat bun or ponytail and then use a Kabuki Makeup Brush to rough up the edges of your hair by brushing it back and forth.

Fashionable Films To Know

Everyone loves a great movie! Whether its for the laughs, the tears, or the action; movies are a great way to immerse yourself into another time period or experience the episodes of life that you may have not yet encountered. I personally love watching movies for the FASHION! Taking inspiration from different characters and different time periods can be so much fun. Below, I've listed some of my favorite fashionable films.


Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)



This movie gave birth to so many fashion must haves! From 'The Little Black Dress' to the black sunglasses to the well placed accessory; this film showcases some of the most recognized fashion statements of all time.
