Potions: Ultra Hydrating

With a big Europe trip comes lots of planning...

Orange When it Rains

It's pouring rain again in San Francisco! And according to those trusty weather-folk, it should continue to do so through the weekend. Now I'm normally not one to be affected so much by the weather, but I'm just kind of tired of having to put on a big coat every day, and I sort of feel like my daily outfits are blending together in one big blur of tights, boots and a mess of outerwear...

Blenders and Blunders

Not only did my fleecy parents come visit for a fun filled weekend, but they brought presents in tow!

Snow Queen

I'm so pale. Like SO pale. This isn't news, I know, but I seem to be at my all time whiteness peak - as in, whiter than normal, if that's possible. It's gotten to the point where my snow-white feet look suuuper weird in my black flats and I really can't wear them unless I'm also wearing tights...

Suitcases and Ceviche

Over the weekend, I had the BEST visitors in town...

The M.A.C. Shorty

I know I just talked about M.A.C. and it's major potion situation, but I swear - this is another hot ticket item you CANNOT live without. Read on if you want that radiant, pore-less, creamy complexion that only models seem to effortlessly pull off...

Elusive Tartan Scarf Update

Remember last week when I was scouring the intranets for the perfect tartan scarf??

Detox Diet Soup

So, I'm back in my skinny jeans - hooray! It's good to know that all my hard work (a.k.a. deprivation) has paid off. It's also a lot easier to stay on track once you realize that all this green tea and quinoa business is actually changing your body. I made this soup over the weekend and it was a hit amongst Detox Dieters AND those still indulging in every food group!

Looks good right??

(It's basically just chicken noodle soup... shhh)

V-Day: Take Two!

Well. I am oooone lucky girl. Ian cooked me dinner for Valentine's Day and he got real fancy...

Presents, Pâté, and Beer, Oh My!

Ian and I had made plans to celebrate Valentine's Day on Saturday. He really wanted to cook me dinner and needed more than the few hours after work to prepare for it. So! This left Friday night open for shenanigans...

M.A.C. Potions

Happy Valentine's everybody! I hope you're all spending it with the awesome people you love most!

Red All Over

I saw these cutie pie Alice and Olivia flats and got super into the Valentine's Day spirit. All it takes is one look at this blog to know that avoiding pink is just not in my DNA... I love it!

Some Thoughts on the Big V

V-DAY, that is :) 

...What's with all the hype?

No Detox Diet at Dunya

I know what this looks like... It looks bad. Real bad...

Cheat Day

I want to preface this post by saying that I actually made it 7 whole days through the Detox Diet... which may not seem like a long time, but it is when you're completely changing the way you eat ...and also you never diet...

OK. So, Friday night, Alanna cut herself a piece of caramel cake and I just about lost it. No, wait... I did lose it, and I just about cried. I broke down and came thiiiis close to saying "To hell with this dumb diet!". Instead, I called my mom to try and figure out the secret to sticking to it. Her response was a pleasant surprise: A Cheat Day! Well, a cheat meal. I'll take it!

Potions: The Mask

Oh, baby. I LOVE masks. I do about 2-3 a week, which may be a little crazy... oy, what are you gonna do...

It's all too often that I look like this in my apartment...

Frozen

It's raining here in San Francisco! And I'm just about frozen.

It's a Lifestyle

February is off to a bit of a boring start... Is this the case for anyone else? I thought January is usually the slow month, but I had a great January! I'm guessing it has a lot to do with the fact that I was slow to get on board with New Year's resolutions... I indulged all December and then right on through to January, too... oops! 

Reigning Queen of Mod

I have just discovered and become majorly obsessed with the designer, Lisa Perry. She is the reigning Queen of Mod and how her line of an ultra chic, 60's inspired wardrobe has flown under my radar until now is beyond me!

Nah Girl, You're Good
