Technical difficulties

Hey beauty followers, sorry for the technical hiccups — I’ve had to delete and re-post a few recent blurbs in order to fix a problem with the newest version of WordPress. Should be all clear now, but for anyone who follows via RSS, apologies for the duplicate posts! No comments were affected by this techfoolery.

Straight talk

I went to a new hairdresser recently, because my pre-wedding life has gotten to a point where everything must be reliably transacted over email or not at all. Sarah taught me lots of good tricks, and gave me a smashing flat-iron for my trim-but-not-cut, since she insisted I needed the length for my wedding style.

LONG overdue: 3floz.com

I can’t believe how long overdue this is. A recent Daily Candy newsletter pinged 3floz.com, a new website that only sells TSA-approved toiletries. For months now I’ve been scratching my head when I see 2- or 4-ounce bottles of “travel” shampoo at the drugstore — didn’t anyone get on this and think, gee, [...]

Secret to a flat stomach! Finally!

Two pairs of Spanx. And no eating. Heh, I had you all excited for a second there; don’t deny it!

Some beauty problems can’t be fixed.

Ever since I grew up, I haven’t been able to wear headbands. Fabric ones like we rocked in the ’80s, perhaps — but not the cute hard plastic ones that other girls can sport. Why, you ask? Because I have a giant head.

Yep, hats almost never fit me unless they’re adjustable or [...]

Wedding Skincare Vows

Quoted in this month’s ELLE!

I was very excited to pick up this month’s ELLE magazine, even though it’s not one of my typical reads. On page 111, there’s an article on do-it-yourself skincare, and ELLE writer Maggie Bullock quoted me twice (including an ending quote, yay!).

Unfortunately, the article doesn’t appear in the online mag, but I’ve uploaded a [...]

Whew — finally, some updates!

It’s been a VERY long time since I’ve updated this page, but I think we can finally officially say we’re out of the “Under Construction” phase. This is thanks in large part to my awesome new web hosting company, Dreamhost.

Many of my reviews and tips need a bit of an updating pass, but at least [...]
