It's weird looking back at our wedding eight years ago. Originally I wanted to get married in San Francisco at City Hall. I'm still kicking myself that I didn't stick to that plan. That was the original reason why I got married in my favorite color, purple, because I knew it would look great with the gold at S.F. City Hall.
But it didn't happen.
No disappointments because I ultimately got

I'm always on the hunt for the perfect primer. While I have an old faithful that I truly adore and love, I always want to venture out and try new ones.
Enter e.l.f.'s Poreless Face Primer!
I was intrigued by this because I love the e.l.f. brand and the fact this primer is only $10 USD made me a huge fan. Let's face it, when you have cheap makeup that looks
I'm actually about that life instead of having cute towels that I'll never actually use because they are simply for decoration.
But no, I do eat my veggies and a lot of them. At least I try to:
Now, I have to admit: I was never a Brussels sprouts girl. They weren't on my list of, 'Oh, how yum!' growing up. Ever since I smelled them being boiled (and trust, they
So, we recently moved. Yeah. I didn't mention it at all on this blog because well, it was hella short notice and honestly speaking, we're still moving. We moved from our wonderful neighborhood of Highland Park to nearby neighboring Pasadena. Not a bad shake!
I can't get into details about said move other than the new owners of our rent-controlled apartment had a vision that didn't include the current residents.
The aging process is so interesting because you never know when certain things will kick in and how they'll snatch your edges off.
Kinda like that.
So, a while ago, my husband and I adapted a vegetarian lifestyle for 30 days. While we're not vegetarian or vegan, the experiment did have a permanent impact on our lives. For one, we definitely don't consume as much red meat as before. Two, we're
I know I'm hella late on reviewing Fenty Beauty. I know this. But better late than ugly, right? My makeup bag says so:
You can purchase that bag here.
I'm sure you have heard all of the rave (and not-so great) reviews of Fenty Beauty by Rihanna. Boasting of 40 shades, it has been revolutionary in the world of makeup and literally something for every skin shade.
Naturally, I had to try
So, originally I was going to post about the vegan sautéed red chard I just made. However, I didn't take a pic of it so, LOL, I'm going to have to wait a couple days to remake it and take a pic of it.
However, last night, I did make vegetarian brie x cucumber sandwiches last night. I had a lot of brie and a lot of cucumbers and I thought,
Sometimes it's complicated to find a tasty homemade vegan recipe. I mean, let's face it, how many times can you fry, bake, puree, and toast tofu?
However, there are always exceptions to every rule. I found this recipe and was eager to try it. I had many of the ingredients already on hand and only had to pick up a few at the grocery store. I even took numerous photos

Growing up, I can remember the first time I heard about a mass shooting. I was already in college when Columbine happened. My roommate and I, with our friends and neighbors, were gathered around her small TV in our dorm room and we watched the news with horrifying expressions. We

Masks are a funny thing to review because you never know if something worked until way after the fact. I'm talking usually within a day or sometimes a week. You need to see how your face reacts to it, if there are any funky ingredients you didn't realize you were allergic to, and if it's a brand you'll keep using. Sometimes, 24 hours isn't enough to make
