I want you to step outside your box a little. Think new. This whole series, say ‘Yes to Something New’ is about getting outside your comfort zone. Today I want you to try red lipstick. Seriously? Seriously. Watch the video and then get back to me with questions. I want you to release your inner diva, and I know you can do it. If you’re curious, the red lipstick I used is Revlon Super Lustrous Creme Lipstick in Black Cherry….

Have you been waiting with bated breath to see who won the Levi Giveaway? I have. Maybe. Anyway, here are the two winners: 1. Lacey “Girbaud Jeans were awesome! Sadly, my mom wouldnt by me a pair until they became more affordable
. which essentially meant when they were out of style. I loved them anyway!” Oh Lacey, I wanted some Girbaud’s so badly. My mom got me a pair of Lee’s instead. They just weren’t the same. 2. Lisa…

Two years ago, when I realized I had to jump into the smart phone craze, I didn’t automatically reach for an iPhone. Viktor did major research and ordered the newest Nokia on the market, the Nokia E71. I didn’t care exactly what it was, I just needed something that could help me access email, get on Facebook, and allow me to tweet once in a while. Oh! And most importantly, I needed something to help me with directions. I’m completely…

Have you heard all the fuss about dry shampoo? It’s seems like it’s all anybody talks about these days: dry shampoo this, dry shampoo that. What’s the world coming to? I’ll tell you what all the fuss is about: all the fuss is about catching an extra 15 minutes of snooze time in the morning.

They were precisely $2.80, which is a lot less than most things in life. I’ve owned these…

I’ve been sifting through my thoughts over the last month and a half, having a really hard time coming up with what to write about Mighty Summit. Aside from my posse of social media mavens in Utah, I can’t tell you the last time I went to an event and came home this relaxed, inspired, confident, boosted, ready to take on the world. I really wasn’t sure what to expect of Mighty Summit. A gathering of supremely smart, uber successful,…

The other night I was at the mall with Precocious, something that happens so rarely it just felt really weird to type it. I mean, we never ever go to the mall together unless we’re headed to a movie as a family. It was actually a really nice, belated birthday present for my now 11-year-old tween: dinner and shopping without the boys. After we’d shopped around for a while we headed to a shoe store *just to browse*. Those two…
