It always amazes me how much of a difference mascara makes. Eyes go from ho-hum to BAM! In your face! Having majuurr lashes creates larger eyes and puts the focus on those peepers. If only we woke up in the morning with mascara-like lashes all ready to go, amirite?! Well, actually, there may be something to it. While
My sister gave me this recipe after I devoured several slices she had freshly baked. It is simply the most delicious, easiest chocolate cake recipe ever. Who knew flour was such an unnecessary ingredient? You can prep this with your eyes closed in about 5...
We've all done things we regret, whether it's taking that extra drink last new years eve or rocking that (now cringe-inducing) dress that you just HAD to have. Gurl, we all make bad choices. When the year is up, it's time to reflect on all those bad choices and this week, we're talking about bad fashion...
You've been asked to a fabulous holiday party but it's a potluck and though you can chow down with the best of them, you're no Nigella when it comes to the kitchen. What's a gal with little to no culinary skills to do? Easy peasy - no cook dishes and appetizers, of course!
New Years Eve is always kind of a let down. I hype it up so much and when it comes down to it, it's always lame. Plus, going out is going to cost you $$$. Heading to a club? Be prepared to pay cover charge and for drinks worth a quarter their price. Your best bet is have a few close gals and guys over, spruce up the place to get the...
This could also be called Lazy Gingerbread Cookie Recipe because I took out all of the ingredients I deemed unnecessary (yes, even the ginger) to make these as simple as possible. Great for people with short attention spans or if toddlers are...
This week, we want to know what beauty goodies you scored for the holidays. I know, I know, Christmas still isn't for another 2 days (and thank goodness because someone's still got some shopping to do), but Hanukkah has come and gone and I'm sure a few of you have already peeked at the pressies under the tree so we're starting early!...
Lindsay Lohan is at it again. This time, she's forgotten her pants. Now, before I get into anything, I think it's important to note that this look, objectively, is not a good one. However, as far as Lilo goes, it's pretty good for her. Plus, this look is like this close...
The holidays are a time for celebrating family, friends and loved ones. And what's the best way to pay homage to everyone that you hold dear? With a drink, of course! 'Tis the season to raise a glass, perhaps jam out to some tunes and meet a special someone under the mistletoe (wearing the perfect lip of...
It's that time of the year when you're hopping around, shopping for Christmas, working and then making your way to a holiday party - all in one day. What's a gal to do? Multi-task of course. Work your office outfit into your party time style with the simple addition of a few key items. A little sparkle and colour and voila, you're ready to...
Oh, winter you are a harsh, cruel season. After our recent snowstorm which resulted in myself having a six hour delay in an airport, my skin has been all sorts of dry lately. In an effort to get that super soft, smooth skin a la Kerry Washington, I did some digging and found a simple DIY recipe for a dry skin moisturizer to use in...
So, you didn't take my warnings seriously and now with about a week 'til the BIG DAY, you've got yourself into a bit of a pickle? That's okay, don't panic. I don't hold grudges and being a Chick, I'm always here to help you out.
I found a few super simple projects you can tackle for DIY gifts for anyone or...
It is universally acknowledged that Beyonce is the Queen of the World, so when she drops a surprise album, you HAD BEST sit and listen to it. It's currently on rotation at CA HQ. Not only did Bey drop some...
In my house, these are called Chocolate Bears. Largely because the recipe is from Build a Bear and came with a bear shaped cookie cutter. These are ridiculously addictive, so consider yourself forewarned.
The prospect of deciding what to wear to a holiday party can be a daunting task. However, when you break it down, it actually becomes simple math. For instance, take this wrap dress, add this statement necklace, add a gorgeous heel and don't forget to multiply the hot factor with a great lipstick and...
I believe that foundation was the first beauty product that I ever purchased with my very own money. So, it holds a special place in my heart. Back then, I used CoverGirl Clean...
When I gave you the deets on what I put on my face everyday, I didn't lie when I said my go-to foxy up product was a red lipstick. No matter where I go, I always keep a bold red in my...
Sometimes, after a long work week, we need a pick me up. A little something that gives us inspiration, hope and cheers us up. Which is why last month, we posted one of our favourite quotes from Mae West, check that out over here. This week, we wanted to post another #QOTD (quote of the day) to help lift your spirits and make you think...
It's the holiday season which means one thing: party time. It's time to get together, share a few drinks, do some dancing (perhaps some mistletoe kissing?) and have a plain ol' excellent time. Of course, you'll need a soundtrack to your evening - we've got you covered with a mix of retro and new holiday...
We recently introduced you to heath guru Talia Chai, who gave us the low down on how to survive the temptations of holiday party season. While we'd love to...
