Dining Out for Life is one of my favorite occasions because it gives me a reason to try new restaurants (or visit old standbys) and support HIV education and fundraising. Each year for the past couple of years, a group of friends has always planned a dinner at one of the supporting restaurants in town and tonight’s no different. My (play) brother is celebrating his birthday so we’re all getting together at one of my [...]

Last year, I blogged about the supercute pieces in Nicole Miller’s collection which supported Indego Africa, a social enterprise that empowers and provides access to job skills and trade programs to African women. I randomly found myself on their site early this AM and saw a cute set of textured bangles that are now on sale for $20. Available in sets of three, each bangle is wrapped with African fabric in beautiful colors and patterns. [...]
It’s funny how life works. From the ages of 4 to 19, I spent the majority of my life wearing glasses. Then, I decided that I was over it. I was over being four-eyed. I was over having my glasses fog up when I went from the Chicago cold air into a warm building. And, I was over not being able to see when I opened my eyes in the morning. So, needless to say, [...]
I hate multiple sclerosis so naturally I love this tank ($30) from Kid Dangerous Grime Couture. The brand designed the shirt to support the Nancy Davis Foundation for Multiple Sclerosis and 100% of the proceeds will go to MS research. Don’t worry, guys…There’s a tee ($35) for you as well. I’m doing a 40-day spending fast with my church so I can’t buy this shirt for another six weeks, but trust me…I will be ordered as soon [...]

I don’t have enough ballet flats in everyday colors. I have kelly green suede ones, burgundy ones with brass hardware, pointy gray leather ones, but none that I could honestly wear everyday with almost everything. So, when someone sent me a link to TOMS’ collection of ballet flats, I decided to take a look. Purchasing a pair of regular TOMS is on my summer to-do list, but maybe I should consider the flats as well. [...]
Maybe you’ve heard me say it often…maybe you’ve never heard me say it, but I have a confession to make. I have always been scared to rock a bold color on my lips because I they are so full. That is until I strutted into the MAC store hellbent on finding an amazing hot pink lip color that would flatter my skin and not make me look like a clown. Insert MAC’s “Girl About Town.” I [...]
Yesterday, Nicki Minaj and Ricky Martin stopped by GMA to discuss their role as the newest spokespeople for the M.A.C. Viva Glam campaign. While I am currently off the Nicki train due to her performance at the Grammy’s*, I’m enjoyed watching this video of her and Ricky where they give some background into the campaign and photoshoot. I stopped by my local M.A.C. store yesterday and one of the artists showed me the pink shade [...]
