How to Update Your Resume
It can feel like the job market is a little tough to break into these days. It may seem like no one is hiring, especially if you’re looking in a career that typically has limited openings. There really are job opportunities everywhere if you know where to look. Online job ads, signs and billboards, and […]
Uh Oh, It’s The Eve of Christmas Eve
The air is full of the scent of sugar cookies and pine from the Christmas tree. You’ve placed all your sentimental ornaments among it’s branches. The macaroni picture frame and the Hallmark Keepsakes are side by side. You look at the tree with pride but then, your eyes fall below the branches. Here is where […]
How to Enjoy Christmas on a Budget
The holidays are supposed to be a joyous time of year—one for spending with family, friends and loved ones, for giving and bringing smiles to peoples’ faces. Many people go all out and indulge in the parties, the celebration, and the gifts. And that’s great! But once January rolls around, their bank accounts are empty. […]
The Pretty Files: Winter Skincare
I was looking at the weather forecast tonight and discovered that much to my near-horror, they are calling for snow and/or ice this week. Snow! Ice! I’ve managed to avoid turning on my furnace for anything more than a cursory knock-the-chill-of-the-morning-off moment, but I strongly suspect that is about to change. I’m still in a […]
The Pretty Files: Beauty in the Mail
You like makeup. You are kind of a skincare junkie. You enjoy trying all kinds of new and unusual products, but you don’t really have the time or the money to go out and buy the latest, the greatest, and the most-hyped thing. What are you to do? Go broke over that super trendy new […]
The Pretty Files: All About Red Lips
A friend asked me one day what were the most common things people asked me in regards to makeup. I had been working for a prestige skincare and cosmetics line for only a few months, but even as a rookie I had a fast answer for her: how to do dramatic eyeliner, how to hide […]
The Pretty Files: Fall Trends and Essentials
As New York’s Fashion Week draws to a close it’s time to start looking at what’s hot for fall, but just for me Fashion Week isn’t just about clothes. It’s about makeup and the trends we’re going to be seeing for the next season as well as for what my clients in the makeup chair […]
The Pretty Files: CC and DD Creams Decoded
Hello, pretty people (aka all of you!) Last week I helped you make sense of the sea of alphabet creams that are on the market by talking about BB cream, what it is and what it isn’t. I hope that helped you make a little sense of things. This week I’m back to decode CC […]
The Pretty Files: Alphabet Soup – Skincare, Makeup, and BB Cream
Once upon a time makeup was easy. Well, maybe not easy but a little more streamlined. To have a basic look all I needed was foundation, powder, blush, and whatever I wanted to put on my eyes–usually eyeliner and mascara. When I started working in cosmetics, both as a consultant for Clinique and as a […]

Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started Working Out
For a long time, two of the words I feared the most were ‘working out’. I’ve never been an athletic or particularly coordinated person, and for a long time, it showed. I’d avoid playing sports or doing anything remotely active, especially in front of other people. I was scared – I had no belief in […]
Find A Role Model
I’d like to clear something up right off the bat. I have an obsessive personality that I’m well aware of, I probably get it from my Father.
