I think Sebastian said it best “everything’s better down where it’s wetter, under the sea.” I’m happiest near water; whether it be the ocean, a lake or river, but I do have a special affection for the ocean and snorkeling.

To Shimmah or Not to Shimmah?

Women have been told over and over to give up shimmery eye shadow after 35. Who says? I say rules were meant to be broken–with limitations.
