5 minutes, 5 questions with anthony barrow
In light of the fact that we’ve both been majorly MIA these past few weeks, somehow we were lucky enough to score an interview with Avon Fashion Week hair stylist Anthony Barrow.

we heart tarte
Not long ago I wrote about greening your lipgloss routine. With the staggering reality that well ingest about four pounds of lipstick and gloss in our lifetime, it would make sense to start the eco-beauty movement there. And while eco-consciousness is important, the reality is trashing hundreds of dollars of product only to turn around and spend more isnt a luxury we all can afford. But I found a happy medium in one of tartes cleverly packaged sets. The Limited Edition Super Fruit Lipgloss Clutch set comes with nine (yes, nine) glosses that range from everyday sheer pink to a fabulous evening red. Theyre packaged in a gorgeous little clutch bag thats perfect as an evening bag or an eye/sunglasses case.

new mac collections
So, here’s the deal…..again. I got home on Sunday after a week in Florida visiting my parents. Friday night before we left for our 2 day, 15 hour road trip home, little MJ woke up around midnight with a raging fever and cough…any who has ever dealt with croup knows what happened for the next 3 days. He went to bed at 8 p.m. and woke up every night at midnight and was up until 5 a.m.. He finally slept in Monday night, but the hubby and I now have whatever viral crap he had. So sickness on top of 3 nights of no sleep make me want to cry but mostly stay in bed.

How To: The Side Bun
It’s always nice to have a go-to updo for those days – and nights – when your hair and you just aren’t getting along (i.e. no matter how hard you try to brush away that cowlick, it keeps rearing its ugly hairs in the wrong direction).

WEEKLY MUST-HAVE: Nuts Cream Perfume
Organic is taking over our faces, and now it’s taking over our scents as well. Nuts Cream Perfume is the newest, coolest way to bring a little bit of fragrance to your skin. I’m loving the Melon, a fruity addition to any summer body scent. While a little of this solid perfume goes a long way (just a dab on the wrists and behind the ears), you’ll be smelling delicious for hours.
