Favorites | April

Published by lauren

Here we go again guys! Another month has gone by, so another favorites post and video is due! I was pleasantly surprised that the majority of my April favorites are bargain buys! NEAT. May is already shaping up to be a great month, already a bunch of new products in, adventures documented and DIYs ready to be made, so make sure you are subscribed to my channel! Lots of shit coming your way! This past month I experimented with contouring for the first time. I pick up the Makeup Revolution Ultra Contour Palette, and the new Contour Brush from E.L.F. Both made this total noob get better faster, with out breaking the bank on practice shots. I’ve been slowly trying out the Glossier product range, and the Milky Jelly Cleanser is definitely my favorite out of the bunch. It’s a nice mild cleanser, that does a nice job of cleaning the skin with out drying you out. Expect a full Glossier post in the very near future. Gotta give a hand to NYX Soft Matte …

The Week End | Weddings, Black Holes, and The Stairway to Hell

The Watch. Finally caught Hail, Caesar! Not the best Cohen Brothers film, but still a lot of fun. Also stumbled upon this sketch from female comedy team Funkle Todd and my god, it is my new favorite thing. Absurdist gold. The Read. Dove into reading As She Climbed Across the Table. In this the protagonist’s girlfriend leaves him for a black hole. Jury’s still out on this one. Climbed myself into an internet hole with researching this post. I spent hours reading about the Maori people. A fascinating culture. The Eat. Jeff and I ventured to Abbott Kinney this week for some delicious pizza from Gjelina Take Away. It’s a good thing Venice isn’t always easy to get to because that pizza is $$$. We also cracked into our 5th consecutive bag from Heart Coffee Roasters. They’ve been on point this year! (as if they’ve ever been off) The Life. A week with rehearsals, blog posts, work outs and my first dress fitting. Can’t show you my wedding dress yet, but it’s from Sarah Seven so …

Favorites | February

Holy baby Jesus it’s March! Damn, it is not a new year any longer. Guess it is time to stop saying what I want to do with 2016 and just get to doing it! This year is gonna be a big one for me, not only am I getting married but I’m also turning 30. Surprisingly neither of those things feel scary, honestly they just feel long over do. I knew from the first time I was alone with Jeff that he was the one. And I’m pretty glad to say goodbye to my twenties, they were riddled with self doubt and confusion. I’m not counting on my 30’s to be a breeze, but I am looking forward to a little more grounded sense of self. I’ve put so much work into myself over the last year, that thirty will feel a little like a mile marker for me, and I’m ready to celebrate! Okay, enough feelings and let’s get to what you’re really here for…. THE STUFF!!! I’ve got a lot of it! and (personal …

Shopping List | Etsy

Published by lauren

Shopping on Etsy is akin to an overstuffed discount department store. The racks are so full with stuff that product is spilling onto the floor, there’s not a soul in sight to help you, and good luck finding a place to try something on. Well I’m a good friend. I rolled up my sleeves, broke a sweat, and uncovered these little treasures for you. 1. Upscale Hare I want everything. Seriously. This ladies shit is so gorgeous and simple. The creator behind these pieces is Rachel Nash, a jeweler designer out of Brooklyn NY. Her items feature raw cut diamonds, rose gold and brass. Don’t you want? These earrings will be on my next wish list! as will these bracelets. and luckily this guy I already got for christmas! Thanks Jeff! 2. Amelia Mancini Also out of Brooklyn NY is Amelia Mancini. I’ve been seeing her stuff pop up all over the place lately! Her delightfully charming designs are featured on clutches, tea towels and totes. I’ve been torn between the Joshua tree and the cactus pouch for …
