Oh how I adore the sparkle and glitter. Especially on my nails. But 30 cotton balls later and you’re still stuck with your un-fabulous glitter polish, it now seems like a horrible idea. That is… until some genius put all of us “d” to how to remove it–without the stress....

WHY I LOVE: Coral Lipsticks (featuring CoverGirl & Ellis Faas)

Why I love coral lipsticks? This is really a no brainer! For me it’s totally the new nude color of the season. Both coral lippys that I found were a cream based lipstick. Which, I am finding to be a new fave of mine. Something about matte lipstick that reminds...

Do you know how much courage it takes to stand in front of the mirror naked? For me, it’s a task. One that I rarely do. So just imagine the courage it takes for a model of size (paid or otherwise) filled with the insecurities and burdens of our plus size world. When I opened...
