In my videos, I’ve talked about everything from perfecting your picture day look to finding the right lighting for those selfies. But with end-of-year parties and events coming up (have you decided what to wear?), I decided to put together a guide to nailing the photo every time. Here are my top 10 […]

  • The “Have it All” Mentality

    December 2, 2014 at 4:00 am // by

    As 2014 comes to a close, I look back on everything I’ve accomplished and all those things I have yet to do. The conversation about what we as women should aspire to be in our careers and families is no new one. Am I doing enough? is a question on almost every twenty- or thirty-something’s mind. More than ever, as women, we can choose what path is right for us. It’s not just about a work/life balance, but being able to […]

    What I’m Thankful for This Year

    5 Favorites: Artists to Know

So today for my five favorites I thought I’d share some of the artists I’ve […]

    Beauty and Body Uses of Turmeric

    Turmeric might just look like another spice to liven up your Asian cuisine (yum, curry), but it’s really a powerful food that can help your body and beauty routine. Turmeric comes from the Curcuma longa plant and is usually found in powder form. It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, can alleviate stomach problems, and help heal skin issues like eczema and allergic reactions. Turmeric is also loaded with antioxidants.  I love using holistic medicine, sound therapy, and natural foods and […]

    What It Means to be a Feminist

    Lately I’ve wanted to make my blog a bit more personal, so you really get a glimpse of my world. Sometimes that means swapping a beauty topic for something like study tips or relationship advice – or even today’s post on feminism. Awhile back I wrote about inspiring women, and so many of you had amazing responses that I wanted to use that as a jumping off point, specifically in regards to feminism. For whatever reason, feminism often gets a […]
