Karen’s Body Beautiful and the Cutest Manicure Ever
I realize it takes me like a good month to catch up on life after I get back from a trip to New York City. It doesn’t even matter how long I’m there for – I went to NYC for a whirlwind weekend in August and I STILL haven’t fully unpacked my makeup bag or [...]
My Monday Manicure – Nail Art FTW!
My experiments with nail art have been hit or miss thus far. And a recent experiment was such a miss, I was like – lemme just stick with bold bright nails and keep it moving. Clearly I don’t know what I’m doing with nail pens or mini paintbrushes. But last Friday, I was lucky enough [...]
Caress Girls Night Out Giveaway Winners AND Mixtapes!!
Apparently I’m gonna need a new way to judge the success of my giveaways. Now I’ll need to know – did I get lots of retweets? Lots of comments? And most importantly – was there a resulting MIXTAPE?? Or TWO? For the Caress Girls Night Out Whipped Souffle Giveaway, I asked you to leave a [...]

5 Fave New Body Washes
Recently we had houseguests in town and one of the main topics of discussion became our bathroom. Specifically one corner of the shower stall, which is cluttered with no less than five body washes at the moment. Oh hello, shower cat! “Why do you have so many?” asked my friend John. “Because I am a [...]
You Deserve: Dior Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum
Mascara commercials irk me to no end. Every time I see an ad on TV for a mascara promising to volumize my lashes by unbelievable amounts, it makes me want to flip channels. Because #1 – the model or celebrity in the ad is most likely wearing fake lashes, and #2 – if it’s a [...]
My Monday Manicure – OPI Catch Me In Your Net
I hope you’ll forgive me for posting my Monday Manicure on Tuesday morning. Last night I had TOO much fun, and that’s where the manicure madness began! My friends at Spa Week came to Chicago to kick off their latest round of fabulous $50 treatments! Celebrate You Chicago was a blogger’s soiree held at the [...]
Beauty Challenge: Name Your Top 5 Products
Last night my homegirl Luvvie asked me a ridiculous question. Ridiculous. She goes, “what are your top 5 beauty products?” And I’m like…huh? What a big question! Do you mean makeup, or skincare? Beauty products? OMG I can’t even begin to wrap my mind around that. I was getting the vapors just thinking about it. [...]

My T-Zone has been the bane of my existence since high school. In every photo I took, there it was – shining bright and stealing all the attention. Dealing with the oiliest area of my face has taken years of trial and error, y’all. But finally I’ve found some products that work well enough on [...]
