First off, thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway and shared the love on Twitter! I appreciate any exposure my little blog can get! I’m glad all of you were excited about it, and I wish I had enough to send to everyone, but unfortunately, there can only be one winner.
And that winner is:
Congratulations, Tracy!!! I’ll be contacting you shortly to get your mailing address so I can send you your prize as soon as possible! Look out for another fun beauty review coming soon!
The other half of my favorite celebrity couple. Once upon a time, when I was 15, I discovered that Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were dating while listening to the radio. On that day, I decided I hated Gwen Stefani and would make it my life mission to destroy her (but still listen to her music nonstop, duh). Obviously, Gavin was going to marry me – is that so hard to understand??? Last year Eventually, I realized maybe that wasn’t going to happen, so I decided it was easier to love them together. It wasn’t exactly the hardest thing to do – they are so adorable. And let’s face it, during all those anti-Gwen years, I secretly idolized her and her amazing style, energy and confidence. And that really hasn’t changed since. I still admire her for being such a style icon, an entrepreneur & an overall fierce bitch.
Who else is beside themselves about the new No Doubt record coming out next month?
I can barely contain myself!
For those of you that don’t know what Nanodots are, they are super fun magnetic dots that you can play with as just stress relief or use to create some pretty neat stuff. I got to know a lot about them when I visited their booth at Comic Con’s Wired Cafe, and they are a really great product. Unfortunately, looks like their safety has recently been scrutinized due to some questionable activity by competitors. Namely, these competitors decided to sell their version of this product in baby/nursery stores. I honestly have no idea why anyone would think that would be a good idea, considering they are very small balls that could easily be ingested by a baby or small child, but I digress.
Needless to say, Nanodots weren’t too happy about this, and to ensure that their product would be safe, even if someone made the poor judgement to share them with their infant or small child, they added a protective coating to the product making it taste very…undesirable. And that’s an understatement. I figured just writing it wouldn’t really have an impact, so I brought a case of the dots to a recent party and had my friends taste test them, after all, who is more honest than your best friends? I’m pretty sure I’ll never be invited anywhere again.
I think that proves their point (boy, were those expletives difficult to edit out). No one would want those anywhere near their mouth (even our hands had the residue for quite some time after), so A+ to you all over at Nanodots!
Sorry, that is a pretty terrible Black and Yellow reference.
I should stick to clothes. And that I will! Remember when I used to be scared to color block and incorporate too many colors at once? Long gone are those days. I now love grabbing multiple colors and trying to figure out how I can make them work together. Case in point: green and yellow. This combo literally made me want to grab my car keys and go to the beach. Doesn’t it look like I need a mojito in my hand?
I can’t get over this ADORABLE wall decal. I know the hubs will absolutely kill me if I buy it for our home, but I’m severely tempted. Like, I may have the checkout screen staring back at me as we speak. Like, I may have hit the submit button. Oh well, he’ll get over it, right?
