Patterned Pants?

What do you think of patterned pants? I don't mean crazy pajama-looking pants, if that's what you're thinking. I don't want to look like I just rolled out of bed! I saw an article in a magazine that showed 4 different girls wearing the same floral patterned pants. Of course, the article worked on me, and now I am obsessed with that pair of pants--I keep dreaming about what I could pair them with in my closet; however, I wonder if I could pull it off, especially since I am only 5'1." Maybe I could get over that fear. After all, I got over the fear of wearing maxi dresses because of my height. Should I get them?

Where For Art Though Color Bug?

I used to be completely addicted to coloring my hair. I got bored--I colored my hair. I saw an awesome hair color while passing through the store--I colored my hair. One of my friends asked if I would color their hair--I'd color a few strands of my hair as well. You get the point. About 3 years ago I decided I had not seen my actual hair color in so long that it was time to grow it out. Since then, I have had virgin hair. I knew my willpower would not last forever, as I have recently been getting the color itch again. And of course it's not just any color I want. I'd love something fun and exciting like some strands of purple or pink. I know I'd regret it after a few days, BUT I found a product that would be the solution to my dilemma: it's called the Color Bug by Kevin Murphy. It is a chalk-like pigment that you simply rub over strands of your hair. You can rock the color for one day and then wash it out. Sounds great, right?! The problem is I can't figure out where to purchase it. Where for art thou Color Bug!?!?!?!?!?!

Breakouts from Brushes?

My face has been breaking out lately and I have been trying to find the culprit. I wondered: is it my pillowcase? So I made sure it was clean. Nope, that wasn't it. Maybe my blanket that I sleep with close to my face? Nope, not that either. Then it came to me today: My makeup brushes have not been cleaned in...well lets face it--EVER! I know, gross, right?! Time to change that! So, I went to Target and found a cheap brush shampoo--Elf Brush Shampoo for only $3! I'm hoping that was the key to clearing up my breakouts! Have you ever cleaned your makeup brushes?

Fall is Right Around the Corner

As I was walking to my car last night after work, I realized that the leaves were starting to fall. Then I thought, how long has this been happening without my observation?! I used to think I was a summer girl bc I love the sunshine and I love to be warm but as I am getting older, I am realizing how much I also love fall and winter. While I hate the rain and the cold, I do love a lot of things about that time of year as well. I love the scarves and warm sweaters I can bundle myself in. I love sitting by the fire and reading a book. I love drinking tea and eating warm cookies. And of course, I LOVE Christmas time! Here are a few things I've found that make me excited about fall:

Apple Cider Caramels.
