I adore caesars. I think they're my favourite cocktail, of all time. Which is saying something. They're spicy, salty and tangy. The perfect combination. Plus, you can get away with drinking them at brunch = awesome.

With the new school year on the horizon, I was thinking about all the beauty products that travel with you while you're on the go with your busy life. 

I always have a few products in a travel makeup bag that help me look my best throughout the day and provide a little pick me up for that 3 pm slump. Even if...

I won't lie to you. I wouldn't exactly count myself among the fans of salad. I don't hate it, I just don't love it -it's just kind of tasteless to me. Kind of like how I feel about (unpopular opinion here, don't shot me) Maroon 5. Given the option, it isn't on my menu. 

So, when I think lunch, salad isn't...

Being a beauty and product junkie, I always have a few bottles going on at once. I will often start on one product and claim that 'I love this product and this is absolutely my favourite product ever!' only to change my mind two weeks later when I fall in love with something else. Maybe they just offer me something new, maybe their (ahem)...

This week, I feel like being pampered. If someone were to say, ohhhh, I don't know, give me a gift certificate to a nail salon (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) for my upcoming birthday, I'd be over the moon. But like, no pressure friends of mine.

I don't know about you, but I wake up late almost every single day. The snooze button and I are old friends. Because I am a fan of the sleep in and silently and quickly walk into the office, I don't have time to have a polished hairstyle. My usual everyday hair consists of an extremely messy bun. 

If you're...

There's a new kid in town. Meet the olinguito: a species discovered just a day ago. For years it went misunderstood and misclassified, but it's time to shine a spotlight on this cute teddy bear-cat hybrid. It almost reminds me of a long, fluffy cat with a bear face and claws with chubby hind legs. They're the smallest member of...
