If you've ever invested a good hour standing in front of your bathroom mirror applying makeup, only to be dismayed by the lackluster results ("Where did I go wrong?" you might have wondered), well, then you're in the right spot.

Our feet have pretty much been in hibernation mode for the last few months: They've been stuffed into thick woolly socks and fleece-lined boots all winter long. But with the weather warming up, it's time to say goodbye to cozy boots — and hello to strappy sandals and chic mules.

Kombucha is tasty — and it has lots of people kicking their soda addiction. You've heard about how good it is for you: It's got all of the beneficial properties of tea, plus plenty of probiotics for your gut.

It also happens to be super refreshing on a warm day (and makes a damn good cocktail).
