What exactly is a twi-hard anyway? All I know is that I caught Twilight star Kristen Stewart on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last night and that girl is hot. Slicked back dark hair, dramatic eyes, blood red lips and creamy white skin (like it hadn't ever seen the sun, hmmm). Her high-intensity look is apparently catching on because just on the heels of the "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" movie release this week, Nordstrom has unleashed the vamp with their exclusive launch of the Luna Twilight...

I'm a little obsessed with germs lately. And I know "little" doesn't necessarily pair well with the word "obsessed" but I say that because I try to be discrete about my germaphobic tendencies. Like recently, I thought I'd try out a new deli that opened in my hood and just as I was stepping in through the door, the guy behind the counter blew his nose above the sandwich prep area. "Oh," I said using my best southern belle accent as I pretended to perus... Read Full Story

When it comes to beauty products, I'm a no holds barred kind of girl. That said, I can't get enough of all the new nail polish trends in glitzy glitter and bold shades but darker colors often require frequent applications, extra coats and a serious effort to paint inside the lines. That's why the newest nail trend to hit drugstores, Incoco Dry Nail Polish Strips, are right up the alley of any gal on the go.
