Lather Up
LATHER is a skin and body care brand with three stores located in the U.S.  And lucky for me, there’s one only a short drive away from where I live in Pasadena!  I’d heard friends of mine raving about it for awhile, but I finally got the opportunity to test a few of their products [...] Read Full Story

Rosebud
Like most teens in the 90’s, my musical tastes were highly unevolved and pretty limited to pop, specifically of the boy bander variety.  I could never decide whether I liked N’Sync or the Backstreet Boys more, but I had a clear favorite individual between the 2 bands: Justin, always and forever.

A Louboutin Substitute
For my birthday this year, I was determined to splurge and finally purchase the holy grail of footwear: a Christian Louboutin shoe.  I’ve lusted after a pair ever since I saw the elongating effects of the hidden platform, that skinny pindrop heel, and wanted to become a member of the red-soled troops of fashionistas that [...] Read Full Story
