Perhaps they were trendy then (I’m not too worried about small children judging my outdoor attire anyway), and they did keep my feet warm, so it was actually quite frugal of me to use them for this long. That said, the time had […] Read more…
Yes, of course: full tummies and literate minds for all, as well as world peace. I swear, I would give away all of my possessions if you could promise me those things. But just for fun, it’s nice to dream about some of the more materialistic items that would be a joy to find under […] Read more…

Last summer I had a fantastic experience with eyebrow microblading from Permanent Beauty By Kalyna, and I recently asked Kalyna if she’d be willing to hook me up with my first set of lash extensions to get me TV-ready for my latest segment on The Social. She was totally on board, and I’m excited to […] Read more…
