Keep ReadingOne Woman’s Quest for the Whitest Teeth Ever, A Smile Brilliant Review + Giveaway
I have been whitening my teeth sporadically (just doing a few days of white strips whenever I thought my teeth were starting to look yellow) for the past decade using Crest Whitestrips but have never been blown away by their effectiveness or ease of use.

So when I heard about Smile Brilliant and their custom whitening trays, my inner teeth whitening addict was intrigued. Read on to see me drool all over my kitchen and get my full Smile Brilliant review.

Keep ReadingLittle Black Dresses + a Rent the Runway Referral Code for $30 off
I have a gala to attend in February and like any good debt monster, I want a new dress. So, time to get busy with my favorite hobby: online shopping for literally anything.

I don’t love rewearing clothes to events that I’ll potentially be photographed at (diva status here) so I thought Rent the Runway would be a good option here. I’m a generous diva though, and there’s point in keeping all my hard work to myself, so here are my favorite Rent the Runway little black dresses.

If you went online in the summer of 2016, you’ve inevitably seen Shibori dye and the indigo everything as a result. Shibori is essentially tie-dye but using only indigo instead of the rainbow of colors. Which makes it pretty much foolproof since there is no risk of accidentally using too many colors and dying your shirt poop brown (we’ve all been there). The kits are easy to find online and the real fun comes in with trying all the different Shibori folding patterns to get one of a kind results.
