Loves technology

Im sure a woman designed this. I found this post on thedieline.com and I simply had to share.  I personally have no idea what the logistics of nail painting entails, but I can only imagine.  Everytime I see my sisters painting their nails it’s almost as if they’re about to set a diamond… with their eyes cocked and steady hand.

happy movember!

mustache madness As many of you already know, October is breast cancer awareness month, so it makes sense that the following month would focus on men’s health and specifically prostate and testicular cancer.

Clear It Up

Best Face Forward Learn it. Know it. Love it. Even people who aren’t obsessed with Oprah like I am, still have appreciation for Oprah’s Favorite Things!

Glass Menagerie

Lip-Glass Chic Readers, let me tell you, I have worn more lip gloss in the last two months than I’ve worn in all the previous months combined… this is mostly because every time they turn the camera on to shoot, someone on our crew looks through the lens and says: “Where is Rachel’s lip gloss?
