As a single 31-year old woman, I can certainly relate to the sentiment and feeling of being left out. Most of my friends are all getting married, some have children. I do however value being single and making decisions on my own, without justifying anything to someone. Don't get me wrong, having a family is and can be great and I don't discount the idea of being married to someone I love. For now, that path seems to be out of my sight. I choose to see singlehood as a blessing, not a curse but who knows what happens tomorrow. Life is a mystery and full of cliches (i.e. see this post) and I just like to enjoy the ride.

Hi guys. I'll take a short break from my lipstick obsession to share with you my daily lazy-girl routine for cleansing my face.

Makeup is pretty much a staple in my my life. At the end of the day, I need to get rid of all the gunk on my face. I feel that this is essential to avoid clogging my big (HUGE!) pores that would lead to bigger (HUGE-ER!) problems, i.e. pimples, blemishes, wrinkles. Plus, I'm not getting younger so following a good skincare regimen is a must if I want to keep my skin looking healthy and avoid those irreversible lines.

We loaded this indispensable palette with six TAUPE-hued matte neutrals, including five never-before-seen shades.

2014 Emmy Awards Live Stream | 66th Primetime Emmy Awards. The 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are a ceremony held to honor the best in U.S. prime time television programming from June 1, 2013 until May 31, 2014, as chosen by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.

The ceremony will be held on Monday, August 25, 2014 at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown Los Angeles, California, and will be broadcast in the U.S. by NBC. The ceremony is being held one month earlier than usual, because of NBC's conflicts with the broadcast of Sunday Night Football. The date also avoids a conflict with the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

Comedian and late-night talk show host Seth Meyers will host the show for the first time. The 66th Creative Arts Awards ceremony will be held on August 16.

And the Best Selling Lipstick is... MAC Ruby Woo

Cherry red lipstick has demonstrated remarkable staying power over the past decade. From the red carpet to the office, you’ll find very few women who don’t have a favorite shade and formula. In fact, it turns out most of them will have the same answer: MAC’s Ruby Woo ($16). Out of the $377 million spend on lipstick last year, the velvety matte formula was the country’s best-selling shade of 2013 according to a new study from the NPD Group.
