Soul Candy: Foster Mom

I've been volunteering at the Liberty Humane Society in Jersey City as of late and absolutely love the animals.  true love and care are given to the animals and tons of the hard work  goes into getting each and everyone of them adopted.  Adoption success stories make my day and this week, I'm proud to share this story from my friend, Alexis Farah of RandomActsofLipstick.com, who has opened her LA home to fostering dogs.  I couldn't be more proud of her!

Welcome to wedding week!  'Tis the season for engagements, showers, bachelorettes and weddings.  Whether you're a bride-to-be or know someone getting married, I thought I'd share some beauty advice.  Joe and I got married in June of 2014 (already coming up on three years!) and I had my pre-wedding day beauty regimen down to a science.  This week, I'll be sharing my bridal beauty countdown posts explaining what to do at 1 year, 6 months, 3 months and 1 month in order to look your absolute best on your big day.  To start, here's a piece I wrote for PopSugar on "How to Find Your Wedding Day Glam Squad."  Enjoy!

My New Spring Look

My New Spring Look

Hair extensions are an addiction I just can't shake.  It's been years since I've had them in, but guess who fell off the wagon again?  Throughout my 10+ year career as a beauty writer, I've tried different brands and methods for adding some fullness (and occasional length) to my otherwise super fine hair – bonds, tape ins and clip ins.  At different points in my life, different methods have worked, but the one I keep returning to are Great Lengths tape ins.
