Friday 'Fessional. How To. I Stole a Mani from The Beauty Department. #TBD.


I am not a huge fan of nail art. Yes, I love doing my nails. True, in the 7th grade (c. 1997), when I had 0 social life aside from soccer, I dabbled in many-a-nail-art. (So, naturally, I attribute our current nail art trend to my 12 year old self.) But. I am a huge fan of this nail art. So, I unequivocally stole it from Lauren Conrad's The Beauty Department and created my own How To.

BarbaraEllen. Happy Valentine's Day.

Admittedly, this isn't my first (attempt at a) blog. And so this also isn't the first time I've blogged about the illustrious Valentine's Day. As you can see, I was still single back in 2011. ...No surprise. And still, I love to celebrate The Day of Love.
