womens dresses

A little while ago a company called William Riera sent me some dresses to check out, along with the most beautiful turquoise necklace you’ve ever seen.  I try on a lot of clothes, it’s part of my genetic makeup.  Sometimes I change outfits more than twice a day.  I’d apologize, but it’s just who I am.  I own a lot of dresses too.  I’m not sure where I think I’ll wear all these dresses, aside from church every Sunday, but…

Make Your Own DIY Face Toner

facial toner

You can’t believe how easy it is to make your own face toner at home.  Much like the honey facial, the homemade sugar scrub, and homemade bath bombs. Man, I just can’t get enough of the homemade beauty treatments can I?  Face toner acts as an astringent for oily faces and cleans up all the stuff you can’t see.  It’s great for summer skin.

Minas Tank from Anthropologie $88 Petal Vine Shell from J.CREW $49.99 Will you wear ruffles?  Do they make you feel too young?  There…

It has recently come to my attention that July is the time to be back-to-school shopping for your kids.  Sure you’re still soaking up the sun at the pool, giving yourself somewhat inappropriate pastel manicures, and reading trashy magazines as fast as you can *AHEM* but don’t kid yourself, school is just around the corner.  And friends, the sales are bananas right now, bananas. Stores are clearing out summer merchandise as fast as they can to make room for all…
