Back to school usually means new clothes and accessories. My favorite accessory? My nails! Polished tips can pull together any outfit and make you …
I have never had a gel manicure. The main reason is the cost. I’ve only had a handful of professional manicures and pedicures because why pay money for something I can do myself?

Every time I make a trip to Target I always find myself perusing the beauty aisles regardless of whether the item I came in for was in that area or the other side of the store. My favorite place to look in the beauty section is the end caps nearest to the walls. That’s where they put all the cool, new nail polish. On a …
“If you look good, you feel good” rings true for more than just what you wear to work or class. Having cute, quality athletic clothing will get you more excited to get out of bed and into the gym. But what’s a girl to do when companies like Lululemon and Athleta charge an average of $100 per article?? They’re great options, but just not for …

Summer is the perfect time to try out some of those nail art techniques you’ve seen on Pinterest! After spending three weeks in Rome surrounded by marble I was reminded of an easy DIY trick to marble my nails that I had seen a while ago. All you need to accomplish this fail-proof look is two colors of nail polish and saran wrap. I …
Mac and cheese is one of the easiest go-to comfort food options out there, especially for those of us who spend most of our year living in dorms. However, it’s not always the healthiest, and at some point you usually end up getting sick of the orangey tubes from a microwave container and craving something a little more flavorful and homemade. After being in Rome …
