This post is sponsored by Clarisonic and Her Campus Media. A few weeks ago, I opened the mirrored cabinet in my bathroom. I reached for my acne spot-treatment, accidentally knocking over my age-preventing moisturizer. It felt like some sort of sick joke. Are the faces of women doomed to go from acne-ridden to wrinkle-covered overnight? […]
Happy Father’s Day! It’s that time again…and since I did a post for Mother’s Day, it only seemed fair to write one for Dad’s day. But that’s not the reason I did it, of course: it just so happens that both of my parents have really good advice and memorable sayings. And, they’re two of […]
“She has a way with words, red lipstick and making an entrance.” – Kate Spade The first time I read that quote, I thought to myself, “that was written for me.” In fact, I find myself thinking that almost every time I read a Kate Spade-ism. The brand has always seemed to “get” me—my style, […]
I loooove Mediterranean food. I know that hummus is the most #basic item in the genre, but I would just like to say that I have been obsessed with it for as long as I can remember. My mom used to send me to school with hummus in little Tupperware containers, and kids would make […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Even though there’s only one day technically dedicated to these rock stars, we really should be acknowledging them every damn minute of every day. None of us would be who we are without our moms. Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to have a strong […]
I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. Sure, that’s a line from a 2000’s emo-pop song. But it’s also the truth. I’m 26 years old, but sometimes I feel like I’m 100. I am perpetually exhausted. Not your run-of-the-mill, I-work-a-full-time-job tired. We’re talking hit-by-a-bus, end-of-a-month-long-bender tired. The kind where your body feels like […]
I’ve loved shrimp since I was a little kid. I actually had the most ridiculously expensive taste. My favorite meal? An appetizer of shrimp cocktail and steamed clams followed by an entrée of either lazy man’s lobster or prime rib, medium rare. You would think I had been raised in a palace with a full […]
I read Amy Poeppel’s novel Small Admissions in less than two days. It felt like I was reading about my friend group. Well, more like I was hearing about the drama surrounding a friend of a friend over cocktails, in the sense that you can’t help but be interested because it’s juicy but doesn’t affect your own […]
Yesterday, I treated myself to a massage. Well, that’s a stretch…it was free at my gym because I referred a new client. But, let’s pretend that’s something I could afford to do on a whim. Anyway, it was amazing. I have decided that insurance companies should cover massages like they do a psychiatrist visit. Not […]
I’ve been trying to stay on track in terms of diet and exercise, but my sweet tooth never lets up. You know those people that say if you give up sweets for 21 days you never crave them again? I beg to differ. Luckily, when you put a vegetable inside a cookie, it becomes healthy. […]
