Since baby showers have basically reached wedding status in the grand scheme of life events, it’s only fitting that the sweets that accompany them are equally epic. From gender-neutral confections to pink and blue bonanzas of tiers, sugar sculptures and so much more, baby shower cakes are (almost!) the center of attention. If you’re hosting a shower anytime soon you best bring your […]

A quality makeup brush can mean the difference between a cakey, uneven look and a face so flawless you’d swear it was airbrushed. While you might be tempted to use the poofs and blending tools that come packaged with your go-to foundations, eyeliners, and blushes, you’d be doing your favorite products—and yourself—a disservice. For the most part, makeup brushes are best

Nowadays, handing out sweet treats to your child’s classmates is frowned upon at best, and may be cause for attention from other parents in some more health-conscious institutions. Agnes Hsu, founder of Hello, Wonderful, came up with the perfect solution that won’t incite outcry from

We’d like to wish happy birthday to Farrah Fawcett, who would’ve been 67 this past Sunday. The former Charlie’s Angel and iconic ’70s bombshell was known not only for her signature feathered flip (which she supposedly styled herself, her highlights achieved through an occasional sprinkle of lemon juice), but also her lively sense of humor.
