OF COURSE I PAWRTICIPATE IN NATIONAL PUPPY DAY! Like you, I was shocked to learn this isn't every day, but it turns out there's a specific day for all things puppy. For me, that means extra time set aside for my furry friend, and making sure we can do things she likes. Since the weather has been pawsitively amazing here, I know we'll be hitting the dog park and enjoying the great outdoors. One thing I find myself doing a lot, with people and with my dog, is imaging things from their point ...
HAWAIIAN VIBES
Maybe it was the undeniably gorgeous scenery, but some of my fave looks so far this year have had serious tropical vibes. As someone who tends to stick to blacks, whites, and neutrals, embracing a tasteful floral and fun patterns couldn't have come at a better time. So, thanks Hawaii for the inspo and so much more! Between all the sites to be seen, hiking, body-boarding, and learning that swimwear is completely acceptable as clothing, I had so much fun and can't wait to do a full outfit ...
CHEESEBURGER REHAB PT. 1
Since I've been in Cali a lot more lately, one of many things I've noticed is the insane amount of really healthy people that are there. I'm talking health nut, gluten avoiding, glitz and glam, walking handstand circles around me in a sports bra fit. This is definitely a change for me. Iowans have a week dedicated to eating as much fried food as possible and a season dedicated to hiding your body under as much clothing as possible. When you stop and think about it, for the many ways Iowa exists ...
THE PROOF IS IN THE …
I'm beyond excited to be a part of a new product launch with a company I love... Softens, smoothes, protects, comes with a unicorn… in the world of hair care and beauty, fake news is nothing new! Whether it's claims of overnight transformations or younger hair – how does that even work – beauty junkies are always looking for and analyzing the next new salve, spray, or spritz. Maybe it’s the Asian in me, but one thing that’s always been important to me is the science behind the products. ...
THE GREAT CHEESE STRIKE OF 2017
No, this is not a new diet craze. In case you don't reside in Dallas, don't care about football, or maybe live in a hole, let me tell you the Dallas Cowboys play the Greenbay Packers in a playoff game this weekend. While it was great to see Eli Manning and the Giants officially end their season, their loss sends the Packers right to our doorstep. Now, generally I can get on board w/ the Packers. Rodgers and Munn... I wouldn't kick 'em out of bed. In fact, coming from Iowa, people ...
KOKO KOLLECTION
Love her or hate her, Kylie Jenner knows how to not only sell but sell-out of a lip gloss. Some of her biggest collections have been limited release, typically selling out in minutes. As I've ventured into beauty blogging, I knew I had to check out the hype. What started with a single lip kit has evolved into a minor obsession. As with any purchase that passes through my pocketbook, the products endure heavy scrutiny when determining if they live up to their promises. In the land of ...
