Squeeworthy: ZICO Coconut Water

The great people of ZICO coconut water were nice enough to send me a variety pack last week of their delicious and refreshing product to review and share with all of you lovely readers, and I was more than willing to do just that! ZICO is an all-natural beverage that has the 5 essential electrolytes. Do you know that ZICO coconut water has more potassium than a banana and 15 times the potassium of a typical sports drink? It’s also more hydrating than water and has zero fat, cholesterol or added sugar. And it’s my new favorite (non-alcoholic) drink of the summer!

Happy Hump Day: Michael Fassbender

So ladies, I hear you all a-twitter about Mr. Fassbender. Although I was more of a Charles Xavier kind of girl myself, I can see the draw of the good, but tortured boy gone bad. He was absolutely wonderful as Magneto, no doubt about it, and there is most certainly something attractive about him, but I just can’t get into him (har har) for some reason (I think I just don’t like his smile). But plenty of you girls can, and he’s got some really great photos to choose from on the Tumblr’s, so I decided to feature him this week! You can definitely never say that I only think of myself, now can you? 😉

Double Trouble

Net and I have been friends since we were 14. I believe our friendship really blossomed during a Bush concert, when she yelled at me that I was a “BITCH!” from the stands (due to my floor seat status). Ah, comradery. We have been in each others’ lives ever since. We shared many laughs, tears, and at times, screaming matches, but my favorite moments have been the seemingly mundane. Driving through the city of Miami on chilly days with the windows down in my VW Beetle, having impromptu silly photoshoots around town, playing James Bond on Nintendo 64 in bed. Those are the times I cherish the most, and always will. And despite not seeing each other in a long time, when we met up for this fun photoshoot with the hubs, it was as if no time had passed at all. And that, my friends, is friendship. And I think ours really shines in the photos below:

Summer of Essie

I have harbored quite a love affair with Essie nail polish over the past few months. It really helps that I’ve found my own little secret location that sells each glorious shade for only $3 (totally fuels the obsession), so I’ve been growing a pretty serious collection. However, it’s always looking to expand, and these summer colors are definitely fitting the bill. 😉

1. Mint Candy Apple (check!)
2. Lapis of Luxury
3. Vermillionaire (check!)
4. Tart Deco (check!)
5. Neo Whimsical

What are some of your favorite polish shades for this summer?
ps; How cute is that tattoo pictured above?

Lovable Friday

1. Geronimo Balloons

I’m a big fan of balloons. They just really set the mood and tone for a fun festivity. That’s why my jaw dropped when I discovered Geronimo balloons. They are nothing short of magical: huge and perfectly round 36 inch spheres, tied with glittery, gorgeous, fairy-like streamers of wonder. Yes, I am in love. Want to know more? Such a sweet story.
