Get Pretty! My Summer Beauty Essentials

May 25, 2017 by Mishka No Comments
Best Summer Beauty Essentials - Skincare Regimen - Hey Mishka 2

Finding fresh, delicious scents, sprays and beauty products is one of my favorite things to do—especially in the summer. What’s more fun than shopping for summer beauty products? I could spend an entire day wandering around the city looking for the perfect aromas, mists and soaps to box up and bring home.

A couple weeks ago, I did just that. Here’s a peek into my summer beauty essentials and scent lineup, from the perfect primer to the sweetest smelling suds… and of course, a healthy dose of rose. Seriously, does a more flawless scent exist?

March Got You Crazed? Here Are 6 Ways To Wind Down When You’re Stressed Out

6 Ways To Destress When You're Totally Stressed Out

Stop me if you’re totally relaxed, but I get a sense that all of us could use a little reminder to wind down this week. I’ve been living way too much inside my own head and too little in the world around me lately, and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Writing projects, botched travel plans, daily obligations… even cool creative collaborations have me pulling out my hair!

Fresh off a five day retreat to the beautiful Hudson Valley to spend time with the fam recently, I rolled into Grand Central on the Metro North train, only to see my stress was waiting for me on the platform. It was tangible. I wanted to buy another ticket and flee the city for another week.

And you know what? When life feels like that, even though you’re #BlessedAF, it’s time to wind it back.

Here are some of my favorite ways to do exactly that. The best part? All of them can be done from the comfort of home.

Puckering Up with Flickable Lip Gloss

I’ve tried to deny it, but it’s no use. Chapped lips season has arrived with a vengeance!

The cold, windy climate of NYC around this time of the year calls for the perfect combination of saturation, lest you wander the streets with sandpaper lip syndrome. Ouch.

That’s why I couldn’t have been happier to receive a package from Flickable—a super cute new lip gloss brand that packages their gloss in lollipop shaped jars and boasts something you’ll definitely appreciate: a total lack of “sticky feeling” on your lips.

Your Fingertips: Years (and Years) of Nail Art

August 21, 2009 by Mishka No Comments
Nail Art NYC - Hey Mishka - Michelle Christina Larsen

If you’ve been following this blog for more than five minutes, you know I love highly decorated nails, whether slick looking paint jobs or acrylic molded roses or (in my most frequent case), press-ons coated in rhinestones found on design studio floors.

Here are some of my recent & semi-recent nail jobs, one of which made it to the archives of Missbehave Magazine’s blog back when they still had the “Let’s Talk Nails!!” section.
