Review: Sally Hansen 5 Minute French Manicure Pen Kit
I bought this kit today because I love French manicured nails. I think they are classy & simple, appropriate for any occasion. Being a broke, post-college young woman, I can't afford getting my nails done at a professional salon.
Bye Bye French Canadian Guy
I recently rediscovered this gem of a hockey song and felt it deserved a post. Originally broadcast when Mario first retired on 102.5 WDVE.

I think it's universally known that French women have a sense of style. I, however, think that there's something more to this.

French women, thinnest in Europe, think they're fat
jezebel.com PARIS (AFP) — France has by far the highest proportion of clinically underweight women in Europe, but only half of them think they are too thin, according to a new study.
