Month: August 2016

When I lived in Orlando I was a member of the Junior League of Greater Orlando. One of the most important things in non-profit organizations like the Junior League is fundraising. At one of our GMM (general

The old Capella Hotel in Georgetown recently became the Rosewood Hotel. I read that they had a roof top and it was open to all of the neighbors in Georgetown. This was good news - because some other

Yesterday I posted about the 90s and brown lipstick so today I thought it was funny that my post about nail polish has a very 90s brown! I've been looking forward to seeing the OPI Washington DC Nail

I LOVED brown lipstick in the 90s. I started looking for some new 2016 brown lipsticks and wow, they are hard to find! Stephanie Seymour - one of my favorite models from the 90s. I've posted about

When we lived in Florida, I hated TJ Maxx. The store was a mess and you had to dig to find anything worth finding. But here in Georgetown, the TJ Maxx is amazing! They have clothes, shoes, housewares,

This summer I was looking for the perfect hot pink nail polish. I remember American Apparel had some neon nail polish not long ago but when I looked in the store here in Georgetown and online I couldn't

I am a HUGE fan of Grado headphones. Many years ago I wanted the SR80s but I didn't NEED them so I used my old cheap set. And one year for Christmas, my Dad surprised me with the Grado SR80 headphones!

I was wandering around Anthroplogie the other day. They have the cutest kitchen stuff. I always enjoy looking at it but I rarely buy anything because we don't really NEED anything for our kitchen.

I was out walking the other morning and I found a Fitbit on the ground. I posted on our neighborhood forum that I found it but I didn't get any responses. A lot of people come into Georgetown to work

I saw this cute Poodle joke on why Poodles need hair cuts:

Now that we live in Washington, DC, I am drawn to all things red, white and blue. And it really isn't hard to find cute stuff! The Zappos website was featuring a lot of red, white and blue Brooks athletic

I recently took a class at our local Paper Source here in Georgetown.  It was a Creative Hand Lettering class.  We worked on our handwriting and adding finishing touches to our letters to make them look

I really didn't think a hair brush made a difference. I tried using round brushes (the kind the hairdressers are masters at using when they blow dry my hair into a sleek straight finish) but I couldn't

I recently posted about the best body bronzers and leg makeup. I wanted to post an update about a new leg makeup that I recently tried. I got a sample of the Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs Leg Makeup

I love pretty packaging! I know makeup doesn't cost much to make and a little money spent on pretty packaging goes a long way! I found this Givenchy 2016 Superstellar Collection eyeshadow palette and

Duke and Goblin would have been 16 years old on Saturday. Here they are in Orlando on their 8th birthday: We honored Duke and Goblin on Saturday by taking James down to Sprinkles. Sprinkles has dog

I had a small USB drive hooked up to my network for the past few years that I was using as a Time Machine backup. It did a fine job and I even used it to recover all of my data when I bought a new Mac

It is definitely summer here in Washington, DC and I have been using my leg makeup or leg bronzer for a few months now. I remember my leg makeup or bronzer obsession started many years ago - I was probably

I have two Nars Lip Glosses that I love. Actually, I have quite a few Nars makeup products that I love. But the problem is Nars uses an odd plastic for their packaging that always seems to deteriorate

I was in Sephora the other day and a group of girls were speaking Portuguese and laughing so hard while taking pictures of something. I looked closer and they were laughing at this Brazilian Bum Bum Cream!

I LOVE makeup. I could go to Sephora every day. When I travel, I have a great train case for my makeup. But when I camp I like to pare down my makeup stash. Here are the basics I brought with me for

Chris and I love camping. I don't consider myself a girly girl, but I do love makeup and beauty products. So I decided to put together a girl's guide to camping! I know a lot of women that would
