Cherry Blossoms and Solo Travel
Nestled on the University of Washington campus, surrounded by Victorian buildings you’d sooner expect to find in England than in the Pacific Northwest, are dozens of Sakura trees which, for a few special weeks each spring, burst into bloom with magnificent pink blossoms.

I have a confession to make: I’m 19 years old, and I’m still in love with glitter. It adds a magical shine to any makeup look, and when I find a good pot of pretty glitter I have to get it for those nights out! When I was approached by BA Star to review their […]

Tokidoki Makeup Brushes and Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel
When I was younger, I coveted Tokidoki products. I had the real thing and the imitation – the brand didn’t matter, it was just the adorable characters on the designs that got me!
