Our wedding day was absolutely magical. It was the best day of my life–I had never spent an entire day surrounded by people I love, celebrating my husband and I’s love for each other. Absolutely magical. I am so thankful to our parents, our friends, and our families for making such an amazing day possible […] http://sprk.li/WkjIS4

We’re approaching that time of year when we (we meaning beauty and style bloggers) start to gather up all of their favorite products of the year in anticipation of the ever-popular Yearly Favorites (for example, come Dec 31, YouTube will be rife with 2012 Favorites videos–they’re awesome!). I’m working on my list and will get […] http://sprk.li/W6BisI

The easiest thing in the world to make, I whipped these together in less than an hour and divvied them up to go along with some Christmas presents for all the girls in my family.

Interchangeable lenses, stunning image quality and depth, and all of those user-friendly features normally only found in a […] http://sprk.li/SWPwRB

Back with another edition of SPLURGE or STEAL: this time it’s the battle of the gel eyeliners. Gel eyeliner rapidly gained popularity in the mainstream thanks to its impressive results in the cat-eye department, and its set-it-and-forget-it staying power. I’ve long used Bobbi Brown’s Long Wear gel eyeliner but these two drugstore renditions have me […] http://sprk.li/VQSSRr

Panasonic sent me their new mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (let’s shorten that to MILC), which is the hybrid system between pocket cams and Digital SLR’s. We can’t call them SLRs, because they don’t have a mirror to…well…single-lens-reflect. Or something. Anyhoo: I was most excited about getting this camera in my hands once they told me […] http://sprk.li/QRcgBU
