These boots were made for … – Sole Society Boots are here

Hello PSers,

I am feeling a little under the weather – so cheering myself up by not doing any real work, writing a blog post and drinking hot cocoa (a.k.a the good life). This post is a little outdated for die hard Sole Society fans (such as I!), but Sole Society has officially inaugurated their FIRST boot collection. Here’s what’s on offer:

want your make-up to last all day? or night?

Hey all,

Sorry about my lack of posts too. Other than the busy life us graduate students have (as R pointed out)… my cat has been sick on and off for the past month or so. I am finally getting some time… and well the right state of mind to do a blog post.

Midweek Manicures

Hello PSers!

We apologize for our sudden absence and lack of posts…but a graduate student’s life can get so chaotic at times, you are forced to forget your life outside of the lab!

So I recently scored a $2 off CVS coupon for Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat polish and also $5 in CVS ExtraBucks. For those who don’t know yet, as a part of the CVS Beauty Club promotion, you get $5 in ExtraBucks for every $50 you spend on a large selection of beauty products at CVS. Also, you don’t have to spend all $50 at one time, so you can keep going back and adding to your total expenditure.

I had been meaning to try Sally Hansen’s crackle overcoat polish and salon manicure nailpolishes for a while. So I picked up a black crackle polish, and a nude salon manicure polish.

Here are the results:

Sole Society Olivias

Hello PSers,

Apologies for my infrequent posting (but I finally have a thesis lab and am hopefully moving forward in the PhD track!). I am here to review my latest purchase from Sole Society – the Olivia shoes. It took me a while to get to this as I had to return my first set. I am usually a 7.5 but these shoes seem to run a half size bigger. This was not posted on the shoe description itself (this would be something nice to have before ordering, then exchanging).

It’s still Summer…and there’s still time for some fun manicures!

There’s still a bit of summer left and I for one, intend to make full use of it! 🙂 So I took the opportunity to try out a new bright manicure.

I tried to combine a few different summer manicure trends this time – combining a muted color with a brighter color, graphic stripes and painting a single stand out nail.

Here’s the outcome:

Hair Solution – Dry shampoo

Hello PSers!

Since I have started working out after a four month hiatus (yes I am healthy like that…)… I have realized I NEED to do something about the way my hair looks after I am done with the gym. Hence I decided to buy a dry shampoo. I was always aware these existed, but had never felt the need to use them. I did not want to get a high end brand because I was not sure these things work… at all. I went for the Tresemme Normal to Oily hair/Volumizing dry shampoo.
