I think the little girl in all of us always picks up the pink eyeshadow at Sephora and feels like it’s just not wearable. Remember how we were just talking about that a few weeks ago? Well I have another, slightly more bold makeup tutorial using, you guessed it, Pink. But this time there is also a …
I recently spent nearly a week where my main focus each day was voiding my bowels. It sounds gross, but if you’ve ever been constipated you know what an all consuming thing it can be. It’s like a literal thorn in your side. Or, well, a cork in your you-know-where. Even laying in bed can …
I have struggled with whether or not I even wanted to write this. At first, I wasn’t sure if I could speak about what happened here, the dark cloud hanging over all of us. How scary it is, and how much we’re fighting to not let that fear have power over us. I haven’t written about it …
At some point in our lives or another, we have all had to learn how to set boundaries and expectations for the way we allow other people to treat us. While some of us have a natural knack for this sort of thing, some of us are still learning when and how to draw the …
Physically, being pregnant sucks SO HARD. Everything starts growing. The belly, the boobs, your appetite, the hair on your head, the hair everywhere else (and you can’t even move around enough to shave it). As much as the physical part of being pregnant was tough- it was nothing compared to what it does to your emotions. You’re …
First it was unconventional lipstick shades. Then it was rainbow highlighters. Now there’s something called rainbrows that I am trying to wrap my head around. I think it’s safe to say that rainbows are very “in” right now. Meanwhile, I’m just waiting for pajamas to suddenly be chic. I don’t think I’m ready to sport rainbrows, …
The other night on I was telling a story on Facebook Live about the time a grasshopper tried to kill me. It sounds over-exaggerated, I know, but I’m going to tell you the story, and I’m pretty sure that by the end of it you will see why I have developed an irrational fear of grasshoppers. …
How often do you listen to your teenager talk to their friends and just don’t understand a damn word they say? Gone are the days of “sweet” and “wicked”. Now we have phrases like “Curved”, and “It’s lit.”. Here is how you can make some sense out of the crap your teenager says. How To Make …
I’m not a noob to the affects of lice. When I was a little girl my mom once threatened to move me into a cabin by myself if I shared my hat, headband, and/or affection with another lice-carrying classmate. I was a friendly kid, what can I say? So maybe twice a year or so from the time …
I am totally guilty of swiping my man’s razor when mine is getting a little dull. I also feel no shame about wearing his comfy pants. What? His are roomier! When I saw this comment thread on Ask Reddit about men confessing which women’s products they love to steal I laughed so hard I knew I …
I pretty much live in jeans and a T-shirt. When I don’t have to, I hardly ever wear makeup or do my hair. When my spouse comes home from work, I probably look much the same as I did when he left at 7am. If you stop by my house unannounced- you can count on …
The old ball and chain and I take our 2 year old to a Mommy and Me gymnastics class every Saturday morning at 9am. In a former life I was a gymnastics coach, so I have taught the very same class, although at a different gym. Let me tell you, I have a whole new appreciation for …
In our world right now, we have access to all sorts of information stored right at our fingertips. There is a lot going on. We have marriage equality. We’re dealing with ISIS. Celebrities are coming out as transgendered. A whirlwind presidential election is happening, with record setting media coverage, and holy crap – grown men …
Prepare yourself for this. No really. Get ready. This is going to be the most ridiculous kylie lip kit wear test ever. I recently did a First Impressions video and tried the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits. At first swipe, I really loved them, and was pretty impressed by the formula- BUT, it was a completely …
Yes, it is another winged liner tutorial! I feel like, even though there are a million ways to accomplish this iconic makeup look, sometimes just seeing it one more time helps it click in your head. Plus, there is a video at the end that has a very unflattering, albeit helpful, slow mo. Here is how …
I don’t know what it is about me, but other moms just don’t like me, or at least they don’t want to talk to me at the bus stop. It might be the area I’m in. Maybe it’s because I look really young (to be fair, I am a young mom). Maybe it’s because I have …
Have you ever picked up a lipstick or nail polish, read the name of it and just thought ” Uhhhhhh, what the eff?” Yeah, me too. There are some that are just a little weird, like “Nude Lust”, a lipstick from Maybelline (which is actually quite a nice color by the way), and we’re all …
Did you know that glitter lips are back in? I know, right? All of my Britney Spears pre-teen dreams are coming true and the only way I know how to handle it is by reminiscing about my blueberry scented Bath & Body Works Roll-On Glitter and taking full advantage of the glitter madness before it …
Okay, let me start off by saying that I love the idea of using a Diva Cup. No tampons to fuss with, no scary toxic shock syndrome, less of an environmental impact; plus you save money. But- it’s easier said than done. Gird your loins, because we’re about to get messy. This is my Diva …
Looking for an adorable Valentine’s Day hairdo for your little one, but don’t want to fiddle around with curlers and bobby pins? This easy Valentine’s Day hair tutorial is perfect because it requires no hot tools, it keeps hair away from the face, and doesn’t require too much time for a fidgety kid. We’ll go through …
Eyeliner is one of those things that can be so downright frustrating to do that a lot of women just say “Screw it!” and skip it altogether. Whether you can’t get both sides even, or you just struggle with technique: Here are some tips on how to do eyeliner that doesn’t look like a 5 …
If you have ever walked past the Urban Decay Electric Palette, or any brightly colored eyeshadow for that matter, and thought “I WANT!” and then “I could never wear that without ending up on peopleofwalmart.com,” you aren’t alone. Brightly colored eyeshadow appeals to those of us who had Lisa Frank toys as a kid, but it’s …
WARNING: This post contains spoilers for both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and HBO’s Girls. When my boyfriend came home after seeing Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the first time, he asked me if I “knew that goofy looking guy from the show Girls (HBO) was in the movie?” “Adam? Hannah’s boyfriend?” “Yeah. He plays …
Photos of Star Wars inspired makeup have been splattered across the internet and magazines since the moment the new Star Wars Movie was announced. While these makeup looks are beautiful, I cant really say I found them wearable or easy to achieve. Here is some Star Wars makeup you will actually wear, whether you lean …
It’s your fifth date. You’ve sat through three corny romantic comedies and one ridiculous action movie. You even went put-put golfing. You like him. He is effortlessly charming and painfully handsome. He asks you thoughtful questions about yourself and actually listens to your answers. He does cute things like switching places with you while you’re …
It’s your day off and you just got the most amazing, well deserved massage ever. You’re definitely not dancing to One Direction in the car on the way home when your husband calls. “Hey Babe! I’m here at Bonefish with Steve and Don (colleagues). Their wives are on the way- can you make it?” You swallow …
Okay, lets be real here for a second; Adele could sing about dirty diapers and I would still cry. As if her soulful music didn’t make her awesome enough, she is also always rocking a PERFECTLY EXECUTED winged liner. Her makeup artist needs to make a YouTube channel. Like yesterday. But until then you’re just going to have to settle …
It’s New Years Eve. You’re going out tonight. Even though New Years Eve is one of the only times of year it’s appropriate to go over the top with your makeup; you also realize that body glitter isn’t “in” anymore and honestly, who really wants glitter near their eyeball? Your New Years Eve makeup should …
Beauty products and makeup are a deeply personal thing. A red lipstick that looks amazing one someone else might look like complete shit on me. That is what makes buying gifts for the beauty lover in your life so difficult. Fear not, Totally the Bomb readers! I’ve got your back with this holiday gift guide …
Not to hate on high end skin care, but damn is that stuff expensive! Like did they go to heaven to retrieve the tears of angels for this toner? Did Johnny Depp personally kiss each one of these cleansers before they were put on the shelf? Does it come with an esthetician to expertly apply …
Can we just talk for a minute about how fall is the best time of the year? I’m sorry beach babes, but when you live in Florida year round like I do, you look forward to a break from the sweltering heat. To give you an example; it’s still 90 degrees daily here! There is …
