How to Breakup with Negative People

How to Breakup with Negative People

Negative people are unfortunately everywhere. They can be in your home, they can be in your workplace, or even amongst your closest groups of friends.  Negative people can also be very draining. We’ve all experienced the side effect of having a pessimist around. A couple of years ago we had a new girl join our lab and everything she said was negative, she put off such a depressing vibe that I ended up not being able to eat lunch with my labmates anymore. I just didn’t need that type of karma around me. Breaking up with negative people can be hard,…

Pur Cosmetics Cameo Contour Sticks on Medium Brown Skin

I’m always intrigued by products that come out strictly for highlighting and contouring. There are so many degrees to mastering this technique and most of it depends on the type of product you use.

Winter Capsule Wardrobe Outfit Style One.

Now that I’ve shared with you all the items from my winter capsule wardrobe I had the grand idea to start snapping pictures of each outfit as I wore them. However, there is one slight problem. My husband leaves super early in the morning for work and I haven’t even budged from the bed before he’s out the door. To remedy this, I had the grand idea that I would shoot my own OOTD photos. I mean I have a tripod, I have a remote control for my camera and I have lights. How hard could it be?  For my…

Stylish Accents with Jonathan Adler and Motorola

Stylish Accents with Jonathan Adler and Motorola

When it comes to home decor I’m a sucker for accent pieces. Accent pieces allow you express your style without a huge overhaul or remodel.  I’m a sucker for metallics as you can probably guess from some of the pictures below. In my studio, I’ve paired gold accent pieces with pink and cream to give it a soft feminine chic feel. I keep a lot of smaller items on hand for staging. Even though they’re used for staging they still tie in with the overall vibe of the room so that I’m not having to put things away after a…
