katvadams asked: So your post totally revived my interest in Lush. And, now that I have watched their promo video on their website, I am convinced they are one of the coolest companies ever. Out of curiosity, what products do you recommend?

Eep! I’m so glad my obsessions make other people obsessed!

Some of my favorite things right now that I would recommend are:

  • Dream Cream - Quite possibly the best lotion I’ve ever used. Soaks into my skin and makes it so so soft.
  • Angels on Bare Skin - I love being able to use a scrub everyday but usually they are too harsh, this one is perfect. Plus I love the smell, it’s like oatmeal and almondy.
  • Miranda Soap - Apparently Honey I Washed The Kids is their best seller but I love the fruity scent of this. I bought a big bar and cut it into smaller pieces.
  • Bubblegum Lip Scrub - So so so yummy! The greatest thing ever, it leaves my lips so soft and you can eat it!
  • Sunny Side - This is the only bubble bar that I’ve used so far but it has so much glitter on it that makes your bubbles all sparkly and pretty, it’s feels like I’m a mermaid or something!

I have a huge list of things I want as well.. haha It’s a sick addiction but an oh so good one! xx ^_^

girl, i spent like 3 hours looking at stuff from lush and wanting it all. i blame you! haha

Hahah I’m so sorry! But trust me get something, it’s totally worth it! xx

Also - the bath bombs are ginormous and can be easily broken to be used twice. AND, they always give you a sample of something with your purchase. :) Keep you coming back I guess!

Yes! I have Sunnyside and cut it into quarters. Haha they don’t need to give me samples as I’d totally sucker myself into going back. xx

My First Birchbox!

I just received my first ever Birchbox and I couldn’t be more pleased. The May Birchbox was Gossip Girl themed so they had products that more on the high end side.

I absolutely adore nail polish so I can’t wait to try out the Color Club Nail Polish in Disco Nap - I think the gold will be awesome for the beach.
I’ve actually been using BB Cream for a while now (though mine is from Asia) and I love it. I thought about getting a US Version for a while now as they are starting to get popular here but read not so great reviews. I’m excited to try out the Dr. Jart + BB Cream at least for comparison!
The Stila Liquid Eye Liner is so pretty though I definitely would never pick out blue for myself I might try it out today for Mother’s Day.
I was really happy to see all the Kerastase samples! After reading Jane’s review of them over at her blog I was really interested in trying them out, but since they are so pricey I didn’t want to fork over the money to be disappointed. So this will definitely be tried out immediately!
Lastly it came with the cutest little notecard, I may keep it for myself as I’m not sure when I’d be able to send out one for the appropriate moment.

Overall I’m really happy with my first Birchbox experience! I can’t wait to get next months. What are your thoughts on May’s Birchbox?

sasuhsavannah asked: Is Lush on the expensive side? They recently just put a store in the mall I go to and I went past it and remembered you talking about it. Wasn't sure if I should go in or not ha.

It is a little pricey, but you have to remember you’re getting handmade and all natural products (most of which are vegetarian or organic). I haven’t had a bad experience with any of their products (yet) and also I’ve noticed that I’ve been able to get away with using a lot less of their products than I would with other similar products (as it’s more effective!). For example I bought Dream Cream almost a month ago and It’s only 8 oz but I’ve barely made a dent!

Same goes with a lot of the other products I’ve used. If you’re unsure ask for samples! They are so so nice there and will usually give you samples if you ask. ^_^ xx

My obsession with Lush continues…. Here are some of the things I purchased the other day.

Pictured: Breath of Fresh Air // Bubblegum // Honey Trap // Miranda
Not Pictured : (2) Sunnysides

I’m sort of sad I didn’t photograph Sunnyside but it’s so glittery and sparkly I would have made a mess! The Bubblegum lip scrub is absolutely amazing, it smells and tastes so good, it leaves my room smelling like Bubblegum! Also I got two samples of Angels on Bare Skin and Celestial. I definitely want Angels on Bareskin however I may hold out until I finish my moisturizer right now before switching to Celestial.

Considered me in love with Lush.

** I feel ultra guilty for not going when Kate was working but the anticipation was killing me and I HAD to get them right away. However considering now I’m an addict I will definitely be going again this time when she is working and I highly consider if you’re in Towson to do the same. (: xx

wefoundtherhythm: thelifeofericteti: Yesterday, I got the chance to go into the studio with The Early November to work on their upcoming DVD. The entire time was a blast. They’re all awesome and extremely talented people. Really excited to continue working with them. Eric… seriously, I am so proud of you! This is so great! Ironically I am listening to I Can Make A Mess Like Nobody’s Business right now. Ace Enders is awesome. ^_^

Missing Philly and my red coats right now.

I miss them so much.

I’m not even joking when I say I want this whole series. Fluffy Fluffy Cinnamoroll is my new favorite thing right now.

A little background: When I went to Philadelphia in April, Marni, my brother and I went to a comic book shop on South Street where I found this little gem and used it to annoy my brother. Little did I know how amazing this manga would be. There’s an evil nemesis named Cavity and treasure maps and magic. Sounds amazing.
Someone please buy these for me. xx

I love love love Etsy. It’s a sick obsession of mine! Here are a few things I’m longing for in my Etsy Favorites: The Belle- Je T’aime Ruffle Bloom Shoe Clips in Red $32.00 from The Belle and The Beau. - Since I bought my red dress and my nude shoes I’ve been playing with the idea of getting some shoe clips to decorate my shoes. I love these red blooms, so gorgeous. Bunting - Colourful Hand Drawn Necklace $26.00 from Rare Indeed - I have a love of bunting. I think it’s just so cute and happy! Splash Dyed Hand Painted Scoop Neck Tee in Ocean $58.00 from Two String Jane - I saw a pair of pants on Pinterest that had splattered paint at the bottom of the legs and then were cuffed and fell absolutely in love with the idea and felt like I had to do it. This is similar, but in shirt form. Little Bunny Ring $30.00 from Proteales - Rings are probably my favorite kind of jewelry (as I don’t have my ears pierced and with my job feel like I can’t wear too many bracelets). This little bunny ring is absolutely darling and would love it on my fingers.  Leather Confetti Pouch in Peach and Stone $33.58 from St. Anderswo - I would love this to carry around make up and other little things in my bags. It’s the most perfect color and I love the confetti touches.  Vintage Sun Dress $65.00 from Strawberry Koi - The perfect summer dress in my opinion, to wear out and about or over a bathing suit on the beach. The most beautiful thing ever. The Piemaker $16.00 from Nan Lawson - I loved Pushing Daises, still do, this print of Ned is adorable I wish there was one of Charlotte so I could put them side by side! Handmade Bamboo Brown Sunglasses $65.00 from Takemoto - Since I’ve lost my Ray Ban Wayfarers I’ve been incredibly bummed out. I love these wooden sunglasses though, sooo cool.  Anyone else has some Etsy loves?

Just bought these lovely nude heels to wear with this dress (yes, I won it!). I was going to wear white - but for some reason patent white shoes always makes me think of little girls going to Easter or their First Communion. Plus Kate Middleton - who I absolutely adore - is always wearing them. So I feel like ultimately they’ll be a good investment. (:

Anonymous asked: do you, by chance, have a lookbook account?

I actually don’t! -_-

I remember when I first heard of lookbook I desperately wanted an account, but it was invite only. Is is it still that way or has it opened up for everyone? x
