  • Good News + Bad News

    The good news is that my gold satin shirt came in and it looks great! I actually ordered the right size! The bad news is that I am sunburned ALL over. Literally. I didn’t realize nipples could get sunburned. What a silly oversight! I guess I ought to lay off the tanning beds for a […]

  • Product Review: Avon’s Tahitian Holiday Eau de Toilette

    Mmm my first order as an Avon lady came in last night and I’m wearing my new Tahitian Holiday Eau de Toilette. (Oh, did I mention I became an Avon lady? I’m trying to make a little extra cash) It’s so yum! I’m a big fan of the coconutty, tropical type scents. Most of my […]

  • Product Review: Lancome Oscillation Mascara

    I’ve mentioned a couple of times that through working with BzzAgent I was sent a tube of the new Lancome Oscillation mascara to try out before it hits stores. I’ve been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I think I’ve got an honest opinion of it. Time to share! So, what is […]

  • Holiday Fashion – Ginger Style

    So I mentioned the holiday party I’m hosting with my roommate. I looked through my closet and realized that I have very little that would be appropriate for a soiree of that nature, since I’ve decided I won’t wear a black top. “But Ginger!” You say. “You look fantastic in black! It is by far […]

  • Lancome Oscillation Quickie

    I’ll write a full review after I’ve given this mascara a better chance, but so far I am not impressed. It is a little difficult to use (apparently I must hold my mascara wand differently than the rest of the world?) and the vibration actually felt very uncomfortable this morning, and my eyes teared up. […]

  • Lancome Oscillation Mascara

    All of you makeup junkies out there have probably heard of the new powermascaras that are coming out on the market. Guess who just got one! hehehe I’ve been chosen to do a preview of Lancome’s new Oscillation Powermascara and share the buzz with you. Powermascaras are a new breed of mascara– they come with […]

  • Fascinating Fascinators!

    Now that I have some new hair to flaunt, I am totally in love with the concept of hair fascinators.What are they, you ask? Well let me inform you! Hair fascinators are lovely little (or big!) hair decorations, usually made of silk flowers, ribbons, feathers or all of the above! They’re not quite mainstream yet, […]

  • Vidal Sassoon: New Look!

    So, I did it! I went to the salon last night and had a pretty good experience. It’s much more posh than I thought it would be. There’s a coat check and assistants to get you drinks and stuff… My stylist was good, turns out she teaches at the school at the salon which made […]

  • Having my ears lowered

    That’s right, folks. I’m giving the old chop chop to my goldie-locks tomorrow! Much like the wonderful and soon-to-be President Obama says, it’s time for change. I’m starting fresh with a new haircut. Now here’s the funny thing: I’ve decided to go to the Vidal Sassoon salon here in Toronto, and while I was googling […]

  • Plus-sized Fashion Part 1: Shopping Resources

    When it comes to style, being fat ain’t easy. The fashion industry seems to think that larger girls like me do not require stylish, flattering or comfortable clothes like the rest of the population. There are very few retailers that cater to anyone above a size 12, even though the average North American woman is […]
