With the start of the New Year, I thought I’ll add some sparkle to my beauty routine simply by adding some definition to my “ordinary” manicure. After perusing my nail technicians resume, I immediately feel in love with her glittery variations (you can see here, here, here, and here) as well as the matte look. It’s a fun way to add a bit of sparkle, and I love that there are endless color combinations to try. Here’s what you need if you are in the mood for DIY. View Post
Yes, moms, it is that time already to start shopping for new outfits for your children. So here’s a new look at what’s in style for BOYS.
If you are a mom of boys (like I am) you know how simple shopping for them can get, however this semester try something new….layering and bold colors. All in all, you can take your bold colors and take them through fall just by layering.
Also, the skater cool look is not going anywhere. even though it’s been around for a couple of seasons. The skater look is all about looking cool. you know, think hoodie, skinny jeans , lots of plaid, vans and high tops .
Here are some of my favorites shops that are a must visit if you have boys…. View Post

{Mantraband, $25}
Mantrabrand: I’ve been seeing people everywhere wearing bangle bracelets with a saying engraved on them. They are bangles from Mantra Band. I must have them. Choose the color; silver, gold, or rose gold and then the phrase. My favorite is “Hakuna Matata”! There are longer and shorter sayings; “courage”, “freedom”, “she believed she could do, so she did”. LOVE all of them! They are hypoallergenic and made with a tarnish resistant material.

The Makeup Genius app by L’Oreal Paris has been getting a lot of buzz. It’s not your standard makeup app, it’s a virtual tester that works great!
