Happy Tuesday: Some Notes on Work Week Survival
Whether it be the necessity of work, piling assignments at school, the bitter cold that keeps you from walking to the place that you really wanted take-out from, or all of the above, the start of a new week isn’t always a clean slate. Luckily, you can always…
BRIGHTEN UP YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE. Feel rejuvenated or at least look like it with these simple tips that can erase the traces of overtime without making you late.
OPT FOR A PRETTY PLANNER. Who wants to list all of the crap they have to do in some ugly leather bound book with blank lined pages and the occasional motivational quote from a random historical figure that never has much to do with anything you have to accomplish anyway? Not me. Get functional, colorful, and sassy with Anne Taintor’s Planner, “It’s So Involved Being Me.”
CAFFEINATE AND OVERSTATE. Caffeinating and complaining are two of the best coping mechanisms on a stressful day. So why not kill two birds with one stone?
SNUGGLE UP IN STYLE. And NO I’m not saying Ugg Boots and leggings. Dear God, no. I said “in style.” Go for a long cotton tunic top from American Apparel. It’s simple, super-comfortable, and stylish at the same time. Keep your legs toasty with a nice pair of wool tights. Top with a long cardigan if needed.
HAVE A QUICK FIX. While I am convinced that college is ruining my face, I am ever-grateful to Max Factor’s Pan Stik Foundation for covering my blemishes in a split second and lasting throughout the whole school day.
In the Spirit of Inauguration Day, I Give You Stylish Links on First Lady Fashion!
Americans everywhere are excited to celebrate the historical inauguration of President Barack Obama.

Commander in Chic: These beauty secrets keep Michelle Obama looking fresh and fabulous.
Following in their mother’s footsteps, Malia and Sasha Obama are also rising fashion icons among their peers. The young sisters are such a hit among tweens that even Hollywood recognizes their star quality. The girls are rumored to have been invited to appear opposite Miley Cyrus on Disney’s hit show, Hannah Montana.
Michelle Obama isn’t the only woman to make a fashion statement at the White House. Many First Ladies throughout history have inspired the way we express ourselves through dress from the royal taste of Dolley Madison to the chic simplicity of Jackie O.
While waiting for your first glimpse of what will be “the dress,” check out this slide show featuring gowns and glitz of Inaugural Balls past.
