Jessie’s January Jeers and Cheers

Over the past month or so I’ve been keeping a mental list of things to mention on this blog. These things are small and need no more then a word or two about why they are awesome or suck. Here is that list. 1. JEERS to the U.S. Postal Service. When you are running a

I thought acne was for teens?

Published on November 29, 2012, by in Beauty, Life.

Maybe time has altered my memories but I swear that in some grade school health class where changes to our soon to be adolescent bodies were discussed, acne was presented as something that came along with being a teenager.

Go Smell Yourself

Published on October 22, 2012, by in Beauty, Health.

Sales!

Published on June 29, 2012, by in Beauty, Fashion.

It is just uncanny how earlier in the week I remarked that I really, really want a pair of pink pants. Lucky for me Gap has answered my call with a new sale to include these: I love the aqua glaze shown here and the calypso color… okay, I really love the neon orange too

Tightline

Published on June 21, 2012, by in Beauty.

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to attend a Laura Mercier makeup event at a local Nordstrom. Along with showing me a bunch of products from their line the artist’s were generous with their tips. My favorite learning point was the “tightline” technique demonstrated in this video: Laura Mercier How To’s: Defining Eyes with Tightline
