  1 save, 1 day ago

  The chefs on TV make it look so easy – rolling dough, sprinkling flour on their granite or marble countertops and producing perfectly prepared crackers, shortbread rounds, pie crusts and even puff pastry creations. Girlawhirl likes to think that she could do all those things too, but the reality of her life doesn't allow much time for making dough from scratch…

  with all the texting that girlawhirl's doing, she

  1 save, 2 days ago

  It seems the hottest accessory around these days are fingerless gloves. Everyone seems to have their own version – whether it's high schoolers cutting the tips off last year's favorite pair of knit gloves or a pair that's specifically designed to meet the needs of texters, picture takers and dialers everywhere. Whether they're called Pop-Tops or Glittens, Girlawhirl's got plenty to choose from…

  thanks to stiruppz, girlawhirl's jeans stay tucked

  1 save, 3 days ago

  Girlawhirl loves the look of her jeans tucked into her boots – but it can be one of those situations where she suffers for fashion. Usually she tries to tuck her jeans into a pair of socks, but sometimes that's just plain uncomfortable and really – who has socks that are so big they'll accommodate a pair of jeans and still be slim enough to fit smoothly inside a boot? This year she's no longer struggling, thanks to a pair of Stiruppz…

  can Girlawhirl buy into the latest fashion trend – the

  1 save, 10 days ago

  Girlawhirl's calling it – she predicts that the slouchy pant will, hands down, be the biggest and best fashion trend to hit the stores since the maxi dress. Why is she so sure? There are a few reasons: it's a pant – everyone wears them – it's evolved from its first incarnation of the droopy harem pant to something that's fantastically wearable for all body types, and it can be executed at all price levels, giving it all the attributes needed to create a mega-trend…

  halloween makeup made easy with a free lesson and

  1 save, 16 days ago

  With several Halloween parties on her calendar, Girlawhirl's still in the process of finalizing her costumes. Just like any holiday, if the same people are going to be in attendance at different parties, she wants a different look for each. But when it's a costume, not an outfit, that's part of the scenario, she's all for simplification. So instead of going the elaborate route when it comes to designing and making a costume itself, she's sticking to simple clothes – after all with so much black in her closet she can dress as a black cat, witch or even ghoulish vampire or ghost pretty easily – and using makeup tricks to create just the look she wants…

  personalized calling cards? girlawhirl's surprised how

  2 saves, 17 days ago

  Yes, she's talked about calling cards before, but in today's world of entrepreneurs, with shape-shifting jobs and almost everyone she knows billing themselves as some sort of an expert for hire, passing out cards is a necessity. But obviously a card from their full time job – if they have one – isn't appropriate to pass out when making connections for supplemental income…

  honest mate is girlawhirl's new yerba mate pick me up

  1 save, 23 days ago

  Girlawhirl admits that she's been a little late coming to the yerba mate party – after all, it's been drunk in South America for hundreds of years. As much as it appeals to her – it's a clean energy source without the highs and lows brought on by other caffeinated drinks, and contains more polyphenols and antioxidants than green tea – she's become a little skeptical when she hears the words “super food” these days. But the claim – made by Bizarre Foods host Andrew Zimmern – that yerba mate is one of the “5 foods that can change your life,” made it impossible for her not give it a try…

  With the popularity of Project Runway, it seems as if everyone's an aspiring fashion designer. Fashion school enrollment is at an all time high and even Girlawhirl and her Super Pals have started to alter and customize their clothes themselves. But what was once strictly for the experts – fashion sketching – is now easy and fun for even a novice with Hokey Croquis Fashionflat Sketchpad; a sketch pad that's got a perfectly proportioned outline to use as a starting point…
