I love Vancouver, mild weather, excellent food, beautiful parks, lots of trees but for the love of all things stylish, why on earth do most of the men in this city dress either in typical "gangster" garb (re: some sort of graphic tee with obnoxious phrases and generic true religion jeans or some other tacky branded jeans) Or at the opposite end of the spectrum in frumpy dad jeans and t shirts about 3 times too big. There seems to be the idea that donning a pink polo counts as being "stylish," or the misconception that somehow dressing better equates to being too flamboyant.<br />
<br />
So here is my list of essentials every guy should have in their closet:<br />
A pair of well fitted jeans<br />
A white long sleeve dress shirt<br />
A white t-shirt with no stupid sayings<br />
A cardigan sweater<br />
A well fitted black suit<br />
A fitted jacket/blazer<br />
casual shoes<br />
Black dress shoes<br />
A tie<br />
<br />
These will pair well for any occasion dressed up or down and present the wearer as clean and well put together. You don't need to go all out on designer trends and spend two months paycheck on your wardrobe but it is important to stay relevant and modern, especially in today's fast paced life style. <br />
<br />
Now you can say oh but it's all about the inside and looks don't matter; all that warm fuzzy stuff but let's face it how you present yourself will be seen as a reflection of your personality and if you walk around looking like the friendly homeless person two blocks over, it shouldn't come across as a surprise if people are less inclined to take you seriously!<br />

So lately I've been a bit obsessed with attempting to be healthier, change up my lifestyle. Thanks to good genes I have been blessed with a high metabolism and thus far the effects of my late night snacking haven't had much ill effect however, I am a believer of the importance of exercise and a good (better) diet. <br />
<br />
I gave the 30 day vegetarian challenge a go and I will say it was not an easy feat! But it was a nice challenge to attempt all the same. Perhaps it was a result from all the tumblr's I've been browsing through of late but I was overtaken with the desire to get in better shape and joined both a local gym and an online one by Zuska Light. I've come across Zuska before when she was still with BodyRock TV but never really spent much time with it.<br />
<br />
For those of you who are too busy to keep up a gym membership and just can't be bothered with all the extra equipment required with other workouts I highly recommend checking out Zgym, the routines are at most 30 minutes and use very little of any gym accessories, not to mention it costs only 10 dollars a month and you can complete them in the comfort of your own home away from curious eyes.<br />
<br />
I wasn't aware of how effective Zuska's routines were until I finally went for some cardio about 2 weeks ago and found myself able to run for a good 30 mins and a fast recovery rate at that! Of course donning some cute workout wear is also a plus and I'm rather a fan of the Lululemon tops and shorts, but please remember that yoga pants/shorts are not proper pants for everyday wear. I have seen one too many yoga pants being worn as dress pants, it is about time something is done about that!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10659078895335489045noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185043149578678769.post-4249672009390343602013-07-23T12:59:00.001-07:002013-08-24T09:10:07.235-07:00Gotta Have Dreams...<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">It seems this summer we've been blessed with incredibly good weather which I have been enjoying most profusely. As the title would suggest we all have those dreams and goals that someday if the fates allow will come to fruition and while I have my long term aspirations that I hope to achieve in the next few years there are some shorter material goals I've been having lately. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Cue the glamglow mud mask which promises "super sexy super radiant skin." Now I've always been a believer that skin care is something worth investing in because hey you only have one face (usually) and it is what you present to the world so of course you should present your face the best it can be. I generally dislike foundations liquid or otherwise because of the heavy mask sensation/ tendency to rub off on everything factor, this coupled with the fact I have what Elaina and I like to refer to as "weenie" skin (a.k.a extreme sensitivity) not many products have been suitable. Not to mention it being the summer and warm weather the addition of foundation just feels unnecessary and I do hear mud touts incredible benefits...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been a busy couple of weeks and as a result we have been unable to do much of any posting apologies everyone! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lately the weather in Vancouver has been a bit up and down but it is expected of the season and the city. I am counting my lucky stars I don't get frizzes in muggy, rainy weather however my hair does tend to tangle quite often. After my many bouts of hair colouring my locks were beginning to feel stressed (re: feeling dry and extremely tangled in the shower) and thus spurred my search for a hair mask or treatment to help calm things down. Enter Wen hair care line. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now I had come across these products in the past and hadn't bothered to research it further figuring I didn't really need it and honestly with hair on the oily scalp side the idea of slapping on loads of conditioner even ones labeled "cleansing" wasn't altogether appealing. But as fate would have it I found myself drawn towards Chaz Dean's products and decided on a whim to give it a try. It was a miracle! My hair felt restored, smooth, luxurious and no tangles hallelujah! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The price not er so much, the cleansing conditioners range from $32 for a 16 oz bottle, $58 for a 32 oz to $210 a gallon. In order to properly cleanse the hair and of course depending on length, type of hair and so on you're looking at about 20-30 pumps of conditioner per washing to get the desired results. As much as I loved how my hair feels I can't possibly justify spending that much. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After some further digging on the interwebs I found that as long as you're using a silicone free conditioner, you can get similar results with any old brand. A popular alternative is the Suave naturals line, I've also tried using the Live Clean line with promising results as well. So lesson learned here kids, a heftier price tag isn't always better and it's important to know what els<span style="text-align: center;">e is out there before settling down. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then the brows are the drapes that frame them and I must say some drapes I’ve seen are in dire need of a revamping. Roots and unruly brows are on top of my pet peeves (I’m sure there are other things on there too but I don’t want to get ahead of myself). As a teenager I grew to be fascinated with eyebrows and the difference they can make for a person’s face. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Properly shaped and groomed eyebrows will lift and balance your features almost instantaneously. There is a golden ratio to go by when attempting to find the correct shape, too far apart between the brows will make the nose look enormous as well as the forehead. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is always a good idea to see a professional before attempting to tackle that gnarly brow on your own. Plucking less = more is definitely key here, we all fall victim to over plucking every now and then but it takes months to repair a mistake so tread carefully. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diamonds certainly are and will always be a girl’s best friend. Of course my jewelry collection is not crammed full of Harry Winston, Cartier or even Tiffany’s (a girl can dream right?) so ladies you have to agree with me that we all need to fake it until we make it. What girl doesn’t enjoy a sparkle here and some kind of rock on her finger…wait correction fingers?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Slowly my costume jewelry collection has been growing, I spot cute pieces here and there and they simply need to come home with me. This creates the dilemma of organization. How do I organize all of the accessories so that I can see them (to remember to wear them) and keep them safe from turning into a tangled messed?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I found these cardboard dividers at my local dollar store. They come in a package with multiple pieces for just $2, the best part is that all you need to do is measure out the length and cut it to make your own customized fitting. Then ta-da! You got your own customized jewelry box giving a home to each of your awesome rings.</span></div>

It can take an outfit to a whole different level, but it also makes for great room decoration. I know that I mentioned that I’m not one for putting my jewels out for display, but a girl’s gotta put out a little sparkle for the finishing touch. I throw my most worn items into delicate display cases or just some inexpensive dinner ware. Next time you pass by something pretty and inexpensive, take a second look at it and see what kind of outside of the box potential it may have.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Luckily there are many ways to fix up what may
seem like a disaster! Fabric stores and craft stores are excellent places to be
acquainted with. Rather than tossing out those ripped jeans you can pick out a
lacy fabric or whatever suits your fancy and sew it on underneath, this makes
for a nice little twist and now makes your jeans one of a kind. Another fun
reason to be familiar with your local craft stores is DIY nails, instead of
hunting around for templates you can reuse craft scissors to cut fun patterns
out of scotch tape to use as a guide instead.</span></div>

offer handbag repairs such as a broken strap and such so it’s never a bad idea
to take note of the services your cobbler offers the next time you take in your
boots to be re-heeled. There are also places to go to that will clean up and
restore you beloved bag to brand spanking new close if not looking like the day
you first bought it.</span> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Like any girl we tend to
forget that we only have one face to colour in, in the morning. I know that I buy
more makeup than I need on a day to day basis; of course once in a while you DO
need to shop for that special occasion or for that perfect red lipstick. All in
all I may have a decent collection now and organization always comes to mind
when we have a hoard of stuff. I find that organization allows for two things,
one to keep me from wearing the same look days on end; two it also is very
pleasant to the eye when you do it right! (Don’t tell me you have never admired
a makeup collection video on YouTube!) I tend to keep my daily essentials
separated from the rest, that way I can reach for what I always use and throw
in some different things here and there to change it up.</span></div>

perfect place to borrow true vintage pieces; ones that were on trend when she

pieces to bring them up to date since trends are brought back but they are
never exactly the same. We ditch the boxy man-shoulder pads that were ever so
horribly popular back in the days, but we keep the fine fabrics, classics and

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am a hoarder<s>
sometimes</s>. I feel the need to buy backups of
products I like for fear I’ll run out one day and find myself with partial
eyeliner (yikes!) and I tend to keep the empty packages around as well because
I thought it was a clever design or something to that effect. It is inevitable
I’ll find my drawers jammed with half used makeup long forgotten hiding in a
dark corner. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A very good habit to get into
is to do a routine cleaning of your makeup on a monthly basis. This ensures
that:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">You don’t spend money
on a product you forgot you had</span>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Bacteria does not
accumulate and give you an eye infection upon discovery of that mascara you
thought was okay and</span>

<li><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ease of access. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">It can be a chore but once
done properly the rest is easy. Take an afternoon to clear out all your makeup
drawers and take stock of everything, if you can’t remember the last time
you’ve used something chances are it’s probably better to chuck it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><o:p> </o:p></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is especially true for

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking a moment to get
real personal here, but I want to share the sad story about a decision that I once
made and regret terribly each passing day. Since we have parted ways, I’ve
decided that the best way for me to heal is to talk openly about the situation
and hope that you will learn a thing or two from me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I once laid eyes on and fell in love with a
classy and versatile piece. It was a black on white striped cardigan sweater,
which I had found on sale for $10! Being that it was pretty much a steal made
it even harder to not feel that regret everyday…I rushed into some spring
cleaning one day and made the awful mistake of donating it. Now I can’t really
explain why, (I even paused due to some indecisiveness), I’m sure it pleaded
and begged for me to rethink and keep it in my life, but I was stubborn and
walked away. I did not see all that
potential in a well-made, well fitted and classic piece.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it is too late to go
back with my tail between my legs and beg for it to come back into my life. But
like all stories, there is a brighter side; recently I have found a
(replacement) white on black striped cardigan that I have grown fond of and
cherish in all the ways that I should. It has quickly become an essential piece
to my wardrobe and snuck its way into my heart.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So learn a lesson from me,
donating pieces from your wardrobe is never a bad idea but if you find yourself
thorn and indecisive; go with your gut instincts and know that you are not
ready to part ways. Not a day goes by without regret, but time maybe the only
thing that will heal my wounded heart.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am borderline OCD when
it comes to organization in my handbag. I hate HATE when people rummage through
their purses trying to find change, a pen or gum. If time really was money I
would have lost a small fortune just waiting for that lady in front of me to
pay for her $10 salad. Some people like to carry their whole life inside a
handbag (which may be sharing a bit too much of yourself) but I prefer the
necessary everyday essentials that will help me make it through my day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">With the onset of spring the need for organizing and cleaning suddenly grips me and I can’t for the life of me shake it off until some heavy duty cataloguing is done. There’s something very invigorating and renewing about putting up new shelves, and cutting down the unnecessary clutter that’s built up over the winter months. </span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">Nothing is more satisfying than clearing out old garments and shoes collecting dust in the back of the closet, but the fundamental question arises: what to do with the cast-offs? It seems a bit cruel to haul the bags to the dumpster as the garments were once loved and treasured. Now no longer needed it would be cold hearted to toss without a second’s thought. Thankfully there are many wonderful organizations in and around the lovely city of Vancouver that we can take our old wardrobes to. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We often hear the term
cleansing your aura, meaning that there is too much crap (for a lack of a
better word) in your life and you need to take a moment, maybe sit down and
prioritize the chaos. Now I can apply that to my closet, sometimes I can stare
at it for longer than I care to in order to reach total zen or I find myself
frustrated looking for that sweater I SWORE I put behind that other sweater but
it somehow magically grew legs and wondered far far away.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

spring cleaning also comes to mind. It’s time to rotate the closet or dig up
the pieces that we haven’t worn in years but still believe that one day it will
come back in style. But let’s face it, we can’t hold on to the worn down, out
of style or ill-fitting piece any longer. Besides why would you turn down the
idea of out with the old and in with the new?</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A closet can speak volumes
about a person’s personality. Are they boring? Vibrant? Or bold? Taking a peek
at what they buy or own would be difficult if the space looked like a tornado
hit it. Closet organization saves me from the embarrassment of wearing
mismatched socks, or being late because I can’t find the top that goes with
that cute skirt. Since we might not meet a </span><a href="http://mr.big/"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mr.Big</span></a><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and be granted that magical
shiny beautiful walk in closet
that we of course all deserve, we need to look to different and heart breaking
realistic ways to keep organized and have a closet that is functional yet
pretty in its own way.</span></div>

public. But who doesn’t like to play on the edge a bit and bring out
their inner bad ass (or in my case the one that is hidden in my
mind). Leather has always had its reputation, favoured by all the
bad boys and tough girls of our time and beyond. As an ongoing
trend, I am seeing more and more leather surface in different pieces which
allows me (and you) to be fearless and pull off different looks incorporating
the fabric. Little subtle hints of leather never hurt anyone well

during the winter. All that lovely shiny leather just makes an
outfit more polished and keeps my legs all nice and toasty. There is
an abundant amount of boots that I can choose from but as the seasons change, I
gravitate towards my booties. Booties are the more season
appropriate choice before we move on to flats, and the
“it’s-not-a-shoe-but-it-is-a-shoe” flip flop. The never ending
Raincouver…err I mean <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Vancouver</st1:city></st1:place>
rain sure doesn’t help one to put away the boots in storage. So why not make
them an essential that I can pair with just about anything, and for any kind of
day or night look. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I must confess to a problem... I am Margaret and I’m addicted to dying my hair. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With dye jobs it is inevitable that my truecolour peeps out every now and then (the horror!) and when it does I have an urge to re-dye it. The roots bother me, I have tried very hard to grow it out and go with the ombre effect popular these days but I can’t do it! Call it OCD because you can bet I’ll be perusing the hair dye aisle at my local drugstore comparing shades. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a result of constant colouring, my strands are feeling a bit on the dry crunchy side (well not really but some pampering was in order!), and so I stumbled on Live Clean’s Argan Oil leave in spray. “Exotic Nectar argan oil leave-in conditioner spray with certified organic grape seed and olive oils is a weightless leave-in treatment that seals in moisture to provide enhanced long-term conditioning, shine and UV protection.” I have hair bordering on the oily side and by bordering I mean frolicking carelessly with reckless abandon so I’m cautious when approaching anything that has “oil” in the name, thankfully this spray is indeed weightless and leaves my hair feeling smooth and healthy although I’m not a huge fan of the scent but it doesn’t last so live and let live I say and mist away happily.</span></div>

shame. Black isn’t just sliming but the best blank canvas for
playing with. My basic black, grey and white canvas is premium for
using accessories that have a personality of their own. Instead of
walking around the street in my drab monochromatic to welcome spring, I pair it
with colourful and patterned accessories, no matter if they are around my neck
or at my finger tips or kissing my feet. Simply putting away all the
monochromatic goodness is out of the question, so why not just change and
adapt?</span></span></div>

lipsticks! Say hello to the new Maybelline color whisper line.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a bit difficult to hunt these down but
finally managed to get my hands on one and I must say they are something to
blog about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The packaging is very sleek
and feels quite nice in the hand, rather study actually for a drugstore
lipstick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The color is sheer with a
smooth formula that feels nice on the lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>“Pure color pigments suspended in a weightless gel, no heavy waxes or
oils,” which works just fine for me, I’ve got what I like to refer to as weenie
lips.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I sadly have strong reactions to
most wax based lip balms and lipsticks re: peeling, painful mess of
misery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The color whisper does not have
much staying power however it really is more of a gloss than anything else.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Slightly less pigmented than the Revlon lip
butters although Maybelline does have a nice variety of shades to choose
from.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Worth picking up in my opinion for
a light pop of color on days when a little extra is all you need.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-CA" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-CA;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Green has
never been my favourite colour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somehow
against my ever-so-pale yellowy skin it just spells disaster with a capital D!
(Even thinking about it gives me fashion chills in a BAD way).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, this year, once again the fashion
gods have declared emerald to be the new black…so what is a girl to do?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

just in time for St.Paddy’s Day I’ve come to the conclusion that sometimes when
you just can’t fight it, you just have to suck it up and join in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m not going to be running out to buy a
whole new <strike>green</strike> emerald wardrobe to replace all that black I own, mind you,
but instead I’ll look to putting small traces of green around my body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Subtle hints of green here and there help to
keep me on trend without getting admitted to the nearest hospital for looking positive
ill under the green green shade.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-highlight: white;">In winter we look to all kinds of pieces of clothing and accessories to
keep us warm. I did not learn until this winter following the top
bun trend that my neck is a weak part of my body, often finding it turtled
inside to keep warm. Scarves in the winter are a must have; I often
forget that the scarf isn’t just for function but it’s one of the best
accessories ever made. You can change the way an outfit looks with
the right scarf pairing. Just one pop of colour or pattern and your
outfit suddenly becomes well put together and magical! So this season let’s
shed the function of a scarf and use it to its full potential of making a drab
outfit a unicorn, a magical unicorn.</span></div>

is about much more than just clothes, it’s the whole package, the makeup, the
perfume, and the attitude. All around
the globe Fashion week 2013 brought forth several memorable makeup trends just
in time for spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Some looks such as
the whimsical heart face paintings crafted by Val Garland are destined to
remain on the runway, while others like the matte complexions and fresh red
lips are meant to welcome in the seasonal changes.</span></span></div>

the top of the list: less is more! A statement I’m sure we’ve all heard more
than once.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A common trend spotted this
year was simple clean makeup, flawless and matte. This look is easily achieved with a new
drugstore favorite the Revlon colorstay whipped foundation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Applies like a dream and super light, simply
use your fingers to spread the product on your face, set with powder and you’re
runway ready in less than five minutes.</span></span></div>

doesn’t love a gorgeous vibrant red lip? No longer a shade reserved for the
fall and winter, red is in the lead this spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am a huge fan of the black eyeliner, a
staple (I feel personally) in every girl’s makeup arsenal.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This year featured both demure thin lines and
dramatic dark lines for the inner vixen in us all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Which one will you be sporting?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My favorite eyeliner currently is the Stila
stay all day waterproof liner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No need

the eyes are the windows to the soul then the brows are the curtains that frame

brow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Give those tweezers a break and
embrace the change! If you have naturally thinner eyebrows fill them in with
the ELF eyebrow kits, an all in one kit that’ll keep you looking runway perfect
all day.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></div>

entire winter. I’ve been lucky enough to add a couple of new and
clearance ones to my winter wardrobe. Now that we are slowly (but
surely!) heading towards spring and warmer weather (or just rain), I’m still
not ready to give up on my precious chunky knits! I’ve come to the conclusion
that layering is probably the most sensible thing to do. Of course we will also
throw in some accessories and then we can go frolic and play without looking
like what I call “weather retarded”. We shed the winter uniform and say hello
to spring…err transitional weather!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
