A must-have item for any wardrobe, any time of year, is a pencil skirt.  Like most separates, it’s one of those pieces you can mix and match with a number of different things to completely change up your look.  And while a basic black pencil skirt is an obvious choice, think about other looks, as well:

Say goodbye to the voices in your head that tell you that you are incapable of doing something or being someone. They lie a lot, and you should know that by now.

He’s the greatest wizard to ever live.

We all know Albus Dumbledore as the mentor to our beloved boy wizard, Harry Potter. Here’s some of the best quotes that dropped some serious knowledge not only on Harry, but on the entire Potter generation.

1. “Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?”

NORMAL SKIN
Normal skin usually looks and feels smooth but can also react to changes in the environment: oilier in the summer and drier in the winter.

Sometimes I'm just not in the mood to spend a lot of time on my hair.  But at the same time, I don't want to look like a homeless hairdresser when I go to work, so I try to make my ponytails as fancy as possible.
Here are ten easy ways I like to dress up my ponytail:

There is a thin line between hot and hot mess.

You already know that stains, rips, wrinkles, discolorations, pulled threads, missing buttons, and any other sort of generalized disrepair will make your outfit — and you — look like kind of a mess. And so will wearing clothes that pull, bulge, sag, or just plain don’t fit very well. But there are other, subtler ways that your look could be sending an unflattering message about you.

Most days, you probably couldn’t care less. You have to live your life, after all. But those times when you do care — when you are interviewing for a job, giving a presentation, meeting someone new, etc. — keep these details in mind.

1. Wearing your hair tie on your wrist.

These are my husband’s favorite Christmas cookies. His mother used to make them. They are called Chocolate Pixies according to her old recipe card. Her children, however, refer to them as Army Helmets.

This type of hairstyle is elegant and funny at the same time. To make a butterfly from your hair is a little unusual, but the result deserves the effort which is not so high, in fact.

Phew, this week’s polishes were super hard to combine! It’s actually weird that I had such a hard time with these polishes, because in theory they’re not that hard to create something with, but two of the three are very dark, so you weren’t able to see what I’d done.

I’m pretty pleased with the end result – It was a little hard to capture on camera, but I’ve included a super close-up of the flowers and I hope you’ll be able to see where I was going with it.

Since getting to the gym on Black Friday may pose as a problem:
