All About Brows

Thrift Store Finds: Gold Accesories
A couple of weeks ago, a good friend came to visit me for the weekend. The first thing on our agenda was shopping, of course. I quickly gave my friend a makeover (sparkly purple eyes) and we headed to my favorite Salvation Army Store:
Not only were we able to find awesome accessories under $10, but the cashier gave us 60% off of our purchases simply because she loved our...

Craving of the Day: Pinkberry
Thanks to a good friend, I have become obsessed with Pinkberry. Sugar Daddy likes his topped with blueberries, and I like mine with raspberries and vanilla wafer cookie bits.
This stuff is seriously so delicious. The perfect combination of tartness & sweetness. These pictures are making me drool…what the heck?!
Where’s my purse? I’m off to find some frozen yogurt!
