This has been quite a week for a new muppet on the small screen! The Sesame Street natural hair muppet has been blogged about EVERYWHERE. On my Facebook page she stirred up controversy – The Fashion Bomb blogged about the dissenting opinions here, and the Hey Bella Blog expressed some concerns as well. But for…

Internet Pirates
For some reason I feel the need to start this post with a little Donny Hathaway. We’re alone and I’m writing this blog post for you. In my career in the blogosphere, I’ve experienced so many things. I’ve recieved more than my share of blessings, and found some good friends and wonderful opportunities that have…

Fly Accessories that Support Female Entrepreneurs!
When I was a little girl, my parents became small business owners. I believe I was 8 or 9 when my parents opened their store. It was called Lounging, and instead of the typical mannequins posing in the store window, we had a chaise lounge. My dad was involved of course…but it was my mom’s…

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…

Allow me to get personal for a moment. Today has been an emotional rollercoaster. Between worrying about assignments I’m behind on, deadlines I’m drowning in, and finding an affordable, comfortable place to stay in New York for Fashion Week – it’s all been killing my joie de vivre.
