Squidix Web Hosting Review… And a Giveaway! [Win One of SIX Hosting Plans!]

Mar 16. 2015

In all my years of blogging, I have probably hosted my site, addition to clients' sites, on over 10 different web hosts. And any idiot can tell you that not all web hosts are built the same. You may remember my troubles with HostGator a couple of years ago. Due to HostGator's slow speeds, horrible customer service, and less-than-acceptable uptimes, I decided to jump ship to Hawk Host. However, due to an unfortunate series of events, I was forced to change hosts again to MDDHosting, just 10 days after switching to Hawk Host. And I was happy with MDDHosting. Good speeds, customer service, and minimal downtimes. I remained a loyal customer of MDDHosting's Premium Hosting (which is ideal for those who have outgrown...

Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Fluid Foundation Review: My New HG Foundation!!!

Feb 02. 2015

Can it be? Have I finally discovered a new foundation to replace my beloved "complexion perfector," the Giorgio Armani Maestro Fusion Foundation?The Kevyn Aucoin Sensual Skin Fluid Foundation was released late last year to rave reviews. It is the latest in the liquid-to-powder foundation trend that began with the launch of GA Maestro two years ago. (You can read my thoughts on some of the other liquid-to-powder foundations here.)So what made me want to try the Sensual Skin Fluid Foundation? It was an article in Refinery29, "Foundation Just Got Way More Amazing" — which talks about the liquid-to-powder foundation trend and reviews 6 of the most popular ones — that first sparked my interest. And the more I researched the Sensual Skin Fluid Foundation, the more I realized...

Where to Buy Korean Skincare & Beauty Products

Jan 23. 2015

I've been getting some great feedback on my Korean skincare posts — thank you! But one thing that keeps coming up in my discussions with friends and readers is: where can I get this stuff?!? Admittedly, any idiot knows to Google a particular product, but aside from eBay and third-party Amazon sellers, which are the best online stores to procure these items? Before I start, I should mention that while eBay and Amazon (via third-party sellers) certainly carry the widest selections (at great prices, to boot), you need to be careful when placing your order. Aside from checking the sellers' ratings, you should check to see where they will be shipping the items from — more often than not, they will be shipping from...

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

Jan 20. 2015

Thanks to the expansive trove of treasures offered by Netflix, I have been introduced to various cable shows I would have never watched otherwise. I've gone through almost all of USA Network's original programming (some of the best cable shows out there!), and now I've moved onto Syfy TV with the likes of Z Nation and Haven. There was an episode of Haven last season in which a relatively unknown cover of an old song served to heighten the emotionally bittersweet conclusion. The song and the scene continued to play in my mind for days on end, so I did what any nincompoop would do and looked it up online. I present to you: "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by Sweet Talk Radio. Isn't it hauntingly beautiful? Months...
