Zoya Nail Polish: Feeling Free for Fashion Week

Written on February 19, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

As I recover from a brief medical emergency – seven-day migraines are no fun – I’ll be around a little less than usual.  However, it’s fashion week in New York city, so I’m sure that all of you intrepid internet readers have lots of other eye candy to keep you busy while I’m recuperating.
It can [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: Nature of Beauty (Plus 15% Off Discount Code!)

Written on January 28, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Finally: after much trepidation and a little help from my friends at Nature of Beauty, I got the chance to try all natural makeup.
As most of you know, I have rosacea, which means that along with all the usual makeup issues – clumping mascara, smearing eyeshadow, lipstick in the “I’m almost thirty” creases around my [...]

A Little Vintage Glamour

Written on January 20, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

When I was little, I never got into my mom’s makeup, or even her daytime clothes.  Instead, I went straight for the silk, the classic pumps, the vintage jewelry.  At my grandmother’s house, I’d run my fingers over the heirloom lingerie, handed down from generation to generation, treasured by every woman that received it.  While [...]

Aquired Aesthetics: Zoya Nail Polish

Written on January 15, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

I have a love-hate relationship with nail polish.  My entire day-to-day life is predicated on the use of my hands: I take dictation at work, I do dishes at home, and between my time with the dog and my time taking out with my friends, I wash my hands a lot.
And I just do not [...]

Calmly Melancholy

Written on January 4, 2010. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

When I am faced with something upsetting, I don’t depress or crawl into a hole.  I ramp up; I stress out; I panic.
My brain is very, very good to me, however, because every time the winds change and I start to get anxious, I gravitate to calming influences.  I’m drawn to colors that flatter my mood – [...]

Monday’s Sustainable Sales

Written on December 21, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Unless you’re willing to pay for overnight shipping, your holiday shopping is now limited to local haunts (which ain’t so bad, ecologically).  So, I’m back to showcasing more selfish sustainable sales – stuff I want for me instead of stuff I want for loved ones.  Even if you’re waiting until after Christmas to shop for [...]

Acquired Aesthetics: Nostalgia Organics Aroma Balm

Written on December 16, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

My friends are often mad at me.
I have a really busy schedule, which includes way too many commitments, not enough sleep, and a lot of rain checks for dinner “when I’m not so busy.”  (Yeah, right.)
To be honest, I like it that way. Even with all the stress and the frustrations - between work, the dog, the workout [...]

Sustainable Sales: Butter London

Written on December 3, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

Did you miss out on the last Butter London promotion at The Fairest?  I did.  I hadn’t thought about which of my friends actually wore nail polish, or what colors they liked…and I got a little spooked about “just going for it.”
Which was silly, but whatever.
HauteLook has given me (and you) another chance at Butter [...]

Get Green Gifts: Etsy Holiday Shopping, Part II

Written on November 29, 2009. Written by Jennifer Nicole.

There were so many great Thanksgiving Weekend sales on Etsy that, just after finishing yesterday’s post, I started this one!  You’ll still want to peruse the list of holiday weekend offers – there’s no way I could list all of the good ones – but I would like to mention a few of my favorites.
