And for more heat-less hair styles for the dog days of summer, check out… Day 1: The Woven Wonder Day 2: Textured, Tousled Waves Day 3: Wash-and-Wear Wow OK, I’m sweating behind my knees and between my toes right now… I woke up this morning to second-day air-dried bed-head hair and scorching heat (today’s been in the ’90s, and we don’t have air conditioning), which left me with the following choices for living my best hair life on a blisteringly hot day like today: 1) throw it into a high pony (boring), 2) squirrel it underneath a hat (which is...

Aloha, friend! Chances are, as you’re reading this, I’m on a plane ✈️ soaring over the Pacific Ocean, because we’re headed to Hawaii 🌺 today (the island of Oahu) to see family. Word on the street is that it’s “cold” (air quotes) over there right now, but you know…if cold means upper-70s with an occasional downpour, I’ll take it. I’m still crossing my fingers that it’ll be sunny a few days, though, so I can go to the beach and make friends with some beach cats. Tabs, who will be working closely with (a.k.a micromanaging) his favorite pet sitter here...

Big kisses to you, Stila Beso, for always being there for us makeup lovers who apply lipstick at the last minute in the car using the rearview mirror before dashing into work. You make it easy to look like we, ya know…actually had our act together. LOL. Friend, I predict that this could be your new default matte red lip color (if it isn’t one of your faves already), because Beso is opaque. Beso is smooth. Beso has a lovely liquid-y texture, and it starts off creamy and slick. It eases along lips and around edges, so you definitely don’t...

Happy Thanksgiving, sweet friend. Let me be the cheeseball/ball of cheese that I am for a second, OK? I’m here to remind you 1) that you are ❤️ loved, 2) you are capable, and 3) you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be in life, even if you don’t feel like you’re quite “there” (wherever that “there” is) yet in your journey. I’m thankful every day that we’ve somehow, through the magic of the interwebz, gotten to know each other. Like a lot of women, I crave connection. Need it. Thrive on it. Feeling like I’m part of a tribe makes...

Can you guess which of these looks was done by a real, live human child? And by “child,” I don’t mean my inner child. 😁 I mean the other child who also resides at this address. (The two-year-old one.) HAHAHA! Is it look one, two, three, four or five? I know, it’s quite a mystery… I was inspired by the visuals for the MAC NICOPANDA collection (which is available meow, BTW). There’s something very “Matisse meets Jem and the Holograms” about it… It’s cray but I love ❤️ it. The colors are mostly pastels, mint green, pink and violet interspersed...
