Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI am in the unfortunate situation of being both incredibly lazy and loving beauty products. When I'm at home, or coming from the office, my usual look is subtle, natural and laid back. Hairs in a bun and clothes are mostly easy, throw on basics. However, there are occasions that need me to quickly take my lazy Alex look and bring it to fancy schmancy professional Alex. Interviews, meetings, dates,...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI feel the need to tell you first hand, that I have weird feelings when it comes to Cameron Diaz. By that I mean, I think I kind of dislike her. When it comes to my feelings, she's on the same level as Gwyneth Paltrow. And DON'T get me started on her. So when I read that she had written a book focused on health called The Body Book, I was like: Ugh. Why? What does Cameron know about health?

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThose who know me know that my nickname is 'Human Napkin' because I am ALWAYS covered in stains. Hey, I like to eat and I'm clumsy, and that has it's price. I'm a big fan of the bronzer during winter as well which means that my shirts ALWAYS have a ring of makeup around the collar. Yeah, I know, I'm a mess.
Luckily, there are some excellent hacks out there for those of us who have some...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basThis recipe is my own concoction (well, I did have some help from the BF), but I did all the heavy lifting (mostly). I made it one wintery, snowy night and it was just what I needed as I curled up on the couch. It's become my signature cocktail for this major cold spell as it warms you right up and it pairs sweet and spicy perfectly. It's not difficult at all ('cause y'all know me and how lazy I...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basFor many of us, at the top of the new years resolution list is to exercise more. If you're like Ali, exercising is essential, it pumps you up and makes you feel great. If you're like me, you need to be forcibly dragged off the couch to even go for a walk. Either way, sweet workout gear is a must. If you're on Team Ali, the outfit and accessories are the final touch that ensure you're ready to go...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basWho else woke up with a splitting headache on January 1st? Fess up and raise your hand. We've all been there. January 1st was mostly spent in bed for me, with a brief break when I crawled into the kitchen to scavenge for food and then back to bed. Think bear in hibernation mode.
Next year though, I'll be prepared. Here are a few hangover cure tips and tricks that the chick staffers swear by....

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basI remember one of my first dye jobs. I decided it would look supa hawt to dye chunks of my dark brunette hair a nice, light blonde. It did not look supa hawt but actually supa awful when that hideous blonde turned into a brassy shade. If only I had known this one trick that uses a common kitchen item to fight those unwanted tones and to keep your shade true to colour.
Sidenote: Well, actually...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus basEvery new year, I make these grand, lofty goals and I promise myself that though I failed last year, THIS year will be totally different. It's 2014: Year of Alex. I'm going to exercise my body and brain, be productive and start volunteering. Maybe I'll even learn a new language. Of course, this lasts about 5 minutes and then I'm back to where I was: on the couch, binge watching Netflix and my...

Pour lire cet article en français, voir plus bas2013 was a doozy for red carpet fashion. Celebs like Kerry Washington, Zoe Saldana and JLaw took the fashion world by storm with their fabulous fashion choices. Plus, it gave us some of the BEST Halloween costumes ever (Miley at VMAS, anyone?). Among the starlets that knocked it out of the park this year, there were a few that didn't fair as well. I'm thinking of three ladies in...
