How about a splash of COLOR??

It was a typical morning in November. I woke up, made my way to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror. Before me stood a person who just a few weeks ago I thought was beautiful, but somehow that had faded(literally) more quickly than I had anticipated :(

I recently got back from a trip to Mexico for a fairytale wedding and my favorite souvenir was my golden tan! It went hand in hand with my fabulous ombré hair, which I had worked so long to achieve! But now, it was gone....my tan that is..I had become as pale as I could be, my hair blended into my skin, and I felt officially BLAH!!

Tired of the typical "go blonde in the summer" and "go dark in the fall", I decided to give my locks a bit more variety. Purple it is!

Jumping for Julep!!

Fall/Winter 2012 is upon us....and you know what that means...CHANGE IN FASHION!!! While the majority of us are eager to hit up our favorite stores to indulge in the season's latest trends, others may be more limited due to insufficient funds in their pocketbook.

Don't despair! Changing your nail color may possibly be one of your most inexpensive options while giving an always appreciated "pick me up". And what's even more exciting is that this season there is a nail color sure to suit you...don't believe me? How about Oprah!?!!
