1. Alanis Morissette’s Jagged bit Pill

I checked out a extremely fascinating story the other day in this week’s home entertainment regular about Alanis Morissette’s Jagged bit Pill. The album turns 20 years old this year (GULP!). El tudod hinni…? It seems like I was just listening to it yesterday in my college dorm while doing o-chem as well as considering the implying of life… LOL!

So the short article had some interviews with people who were included in making the album, like Alanis, of course, who was 20 at the time, as well as her composing partner Glen Ballard. They had a extremely organic composing style, apparently. at times they’d compose an entire tune a day, as well as they completed with the whole album in weeks.

HIRDETÉS

I hadn’t listened to the album in years, so I put it on the other day, as well as ya understand what? It holds up truly well! My preferred tune utilized to be One Hand in My Pocket, as well as it still is…

I’ve been singing it to infant woman a great deal this week.

2. Living proof ideal Hair Day dry Shampoo ($22)

At the danger of sounding completely as well as totally gross, I haven’t washed my hair because Sunday night.

It’s Thursday afternoon now, sooo… Yeah. I’m trying to see if I can make it to Saturday. Which will be five days.

Why am I so thrilled about this?

Well, Living proof ideal Hair Day dry Shampoo. stuff is quite great.

My long hair is a pain in the booty to style, so I’ll typically laundry it on something like a Sunday night, then curl it the complying with morning. then I’ll try to see exactly how long I can go before washing it again, since I just dewnt like to offer with the drama.

Dry shampoo truly help. With a great one such as this one from Living Proof, my roots don’t get as well oily or stinky throughout the week.

The one I’d been utilizing is from Klorane, as well as I still believe it’s extremely good, however I believe ideal hair is even better. Like, “change your life” better!

So, about dry shampoos, after I’ve utilized one for a few days in a row, the powder, which is what they’re made of, starts to develop up at the roots, as well as I can feel it stacking up as well as sitting there… typically after three days or so, I’ll get to the point where I just can’t stand it anymore.

Living proof is expected to have some newfangled dry shampoo technology, as well as the method I comprehend it, you’re expected to brush the fine powder spray with your hair, as well as when you do this, it kind of whisks away the oil, dirt as well as funk, to “clean” (air quotes) your hair. There’s likewise a fresh, light time-release fragrance that I like.

I purchased it on a whim at Sephora a few weeks back as well as have been utilizing it a great deal since. It works great! directly up, this is the cleanest as well as freshest my hair has ever felt while utilizing a dry shampoo, so homegirl is already making plans, yo! When the next VIB sale hits, I’m gonna stockpile.

3. This month’s cooking Light magazine

I’ve discussed this a few times, however after infant woman set up shop in my tum, I wasn’t truly feeling the cooking bug (feeling a bug??). Anyway, it was the first-trimester food aversion thing, however I’m just about totally over it now, so I’ve started cooking again, yay!

I mean, El Hub — that man? He did his finest to keep us fed while I didn’t want to cook, however as much as I like him, one can only eat so numerous grilled cheese sandwiches…

Now that I’m starting to cook again, I’m believing that it’s one of those perishable skills that you begin to lose if you don’t use. My good friend provided me this month’s cooking Light magazine, as well as it’s been extremely helpful, ’cause seriously, it’s like I completely failed to remember exactly how to cook anything that isn’t toast or pasta.

My OB/GYN has me eating a much more different diet plan than I typically do with the prime goal of “growing that baby!” so she has me eating meat once again (I’m typically a pescatarian, however fish still tastes a bit funny to me), as well as the mag has a lot of simple beef as well as poultry recipes, like a 20-minute fast Shepherd’s Pie (no, it’s not just for fast shepherds, haha) I made a few nights ago.

It was tasty, albeit under-seasoned, as well as that’s one thing I’ve noticed about cooking Light. They tend to go simple on the salt as well as spices.

4. RMS charm nail Polish

Vegan makeup line RMS charm just came out with a new nail polish line ($15 each as well as offered in 10 shades), as well as the ones I’ve tried are great! They’re vegan, cruelty-free as well as 5-free (no parabens, DPB, toluene, camphor, xylene or formaldehyde).

I’ve been using two coats of creamy orange curious with pearly gold Solar as an accent nail, together with a base coat (no top coat since I forgot, whoops!), as wellNégy nap után csak néhány hihetetlenül kis zseton van a végén, ami nagyon jó számomra. Azt hiszem, próbáld kipróbálni az egyik sötétebb árnyalatot.

5. Szappan és dicsőség Smoothie Star Deep Petness testápoló ($ 12)

Ez a cucc olyan, mint egy vanília rázkódás, ez a HELLA hidratáló, valamint egy jelentős 16,2 uncia palack csak 12 dollár.

HIRDETÉS

Az egyetlen hátránya, hogy miután elvégeztem a hidratálóval, vanília rázkódás. LOL!

L.O.V.E.
Good day, sunshine!

Did that make you believe of the opening lines to this song?

HIRDETÉS

’tis a great day to celebrate love, so right here are a few of the things I’ve been loving lately…

1. This Serena & Lily French bistro-inspired kitchen

Now that’s a phrase I did not expect to ever see in print…because when have I ever believed that deeply about kitchens?

For the record, Serena & Lily is not a hip 20-something singer-songwriter duet. They’re a high-end furniture line kinda like a much more streamlined, bougie-er Pottery Barn (as if that were possible). believe Crate & Barrel satisfies minimalist French country.

As I was flipping with their newest catalog, searching for style ideas, these adorable kitchen area scenes caught my eye…

THOSE BLACK as well as WHITE BISTRO CHAIRS!

Now, I’m not typically a huge wicker person (hard to clean, feline claws get caught in it, squeaks when you sit down), however I like the look of these chairs. They restore so numerous memories of strolling the streets of Paris with El Hub (who was El sweetheart at the time) as well as sipping strong cups of coffee at cute, comfortable walkway cafes.

I like the feminine curves as well as exactly how the chairs look like they’d be comfortable to sit in for hours. They’re crazy expensive, though, so I don’t plan to get ’em, however I sure do like exactly how they look in this room!

2. Chantecaille everything

Speaking of French style, I have a low-key Chantecaille addiction brewing. I’ve been using their gel bronzer as well as blush on bare skin (apparently, I can’t be bothered with foundation anymore), as well as man! – ANNYIRA JÓ. You can’t see the edges of either the blush or the bronzer, as well as neither one moves an inch.

I capture a small bit of the bronzer on the back of my hand, swirl a little blush clean around in it, then buff that on my upper cheekbones. then I do the exact same thing with the blush (same brush), applying it only on the apples.

I like that you truly can’t tell where the blush as well as bronzer begin as well as end (like something you’d see on Megan Markle on her wedding event day), as well as it’s the type of makeup that looks especially great in full sunlight, like at a BBQ or a beach wedding.

Cheek Gelle blush in pleased (cute name, yeah?) as well as glow Gel Bronzer… I’m 100% sure you’re gonna ask me about the polish now, so it’s Chanel Purple Ray.
Blush as well as Bronzer on my cheeks. loft sweatshirt from winter season 2018. The gloss is hourglass Unreal Gloss in Horizon.
3. “Say You Will” by Fleetwood MAC

Um…did I truly just immediately capitalize the word “MAC” when I typed “Fleetwood Mac”? Yes, yes, I believe I did.

My three-year-old likes this song, which in my mind likewise implies that she likes Stevie Nicks…

OK, my work right here is done.

4. Low-tech, old-school handwritten everything

Lately, I’ve been dumping my computer keyboard for ye olde paper as well as pencil. I’ve been composing whatever — lists, notes, blog drafts — longhand, as well as while it’s much slower than sprinting across the keyboard with my fingertips, there’s something therapeutic as well as practically meditative about seeing each letter emerge from the suggestion of my ceruza.

I’m persuaded that physically composing words down on paper unlocks different parts of my brain — those quiet, dirty corners where all the strange (and fun) stuff hides.

Side note: Do they still instruct cursive handwriting in school?! Remélem.

5. The Nudestix eyebrow Stylus Pencil & Gel

FYI: Not only is applying mascara a perishable skill. filling out one’s brows is, too, as well as yes, I understand this from personal experience. If you’re currently suffering from brow-filling amnesia (brow-nesia?), get one of these dual-ended pencils. There’s a goof-proof, long-wearing semi-transparent angled brow pencil on one end (so there’s no possibility of overdoing those fuzzy bit caterpillars) as well as a stiff, remove brow gel on the other.

It’ll get your brows best as rain.

5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

1. Perfume two-a-days

This concept came about during a chat in the comments last week with Pamela (hey, Pamela!). I was feeling a bit blue that day, as well as we were speaking about the uncertainty surrounding these crazy present events. Something Pamela stated stuck with me…

We are all feeling the exact same lows in one way, shape or form. just remember, you cannot manage whatever around you. however you can manage exactly how you respond to it. I respond with a spritz of perfume.

So one thing I’ve been doing, as well as it has assisted me feel like I have a bit bit of manage over life in general, is using my perfumes in what I phone call “perfume two-a-days.”

HIRDETÉS

First thing in the morning after I rinse off after my workout, I spritz one perfume, as well as then I spritz a different one in the evening after my shower before I go to bed.

Last night’s scent was TOCCA Graciella, as well as this morning’s was MAC velvet Teddy Shadescent.

This evening’s will be Dolce by Dolce & Gabbana, me thinks…

2. Nudestix cream Lip as well as Cheek Pencil in Mystic

One positive thing about being stuck at house so much is that I’ve been raiding my stock as well as rediscovering so many great things I utilized to like (and still do, apparently!), like Nudestix Mystic. This pinkish brownish semi-matte lipstick has pigment for days, as well as it doubles as a cream blush.

Mystic on my lips
It’s one of those all-around neutrals that goes with everything.

3. Oatmeal raisin cookies with chocolate chips

I’ve never lost my damn mind over or passed out from sheer ecstasy while eating an oatmeal raisin cookie…UNTIL NOW. I’m normally nonchalant about them since oatmeal isn’t high up on my listing of preferred things I eagerly expend my calories on (it’s like they’re as well healthy or something).

Anyway, I made some at home, as well as they turned out BOMB. So, my tune has officially changed.

Turns out that oatmeal raisin cookies can really be truly delicious, particularly when you make ’em from scratch as well as add a sh*t ton of chocolate chips.

The primary reason I made them is since I was under baking duress, since there’s been a flour shortage right here in the area (people have been hoarding it), as well as I only have one bag of all-purpose flour left in the cupboard. however I was determined to #stressbake as well as didn’t want to utilize as well much of flour, so I provided these cookies a try since the recipe needs less than one cup of flour.

Who wants a snack?
Crazy about ’em!

4. Watering can outside activities for youngsters (and adults!)

If you understand somebody who needs to keep hectic for a while, take that person outdoors as well as provide them a watering can. Then, let them water anything as well as whatever in your yard. THEY will FREAKIN’ like IT. I can’t believe I didn’t figure this out up until now, however much better late than never I guess.

If you can, provide them two different watering cans for variety. I did this with Connor this morning, as well as she had a great ol’ time.

Added bonus: now El Hub doesn’t have to water the front yard.

5. This choreography video to Earth, Wind & Fire’s “September”

Who are these amazing dancers, as well as why aren’t you as well as I (virtually) dancing with them right now?

We should be, really, since it appears like so much fun! Side note: The person in the background using the leopard shirt as well as the cutoff black shorts is my new style guru.
