I Heart Lauren Conrad: Paper Crown x LC Lauren Conrad

Those closest to me know what a deep, huge fan I am of Lauren Conrad. I loved her on The Hills. She was so ambitious and such a good friend to everybody. I am sure that we live totally different lives but I have to say, I connected to her. She was nice and loyal and wore really cute clothes. I even bought the books she wrote after she left the show. I am a total Lauren Conrad supporter.

These are my favorite looks from Lauren's fall Paper Crown Collection. OMG, the pieces are adorable! I am super sad because they do not come in plus sizes and I want the Blaire Coat, featured in the first look. From my mouth to Lauren's ears on expanding the sizes;)

                                      

Right now, LC Lauren Conrad accessories are marketed down on Kohls.com. I am in love because I love studs as you know, and there is an array of studs in this collection, along with really cute statement necklaces and shoes. 

Aw, LC. It feels like just yesterday you were an intern at People's Revolution. Now you have your own collections and books and really amazing eye liner application skills. May your ambition rub off on me, lol. Find more out about the collections at the links below:

Friday Night Fun: Sarah McNamara Miracle Mud

I have spent the past few weeks at my Aunt's house mootching off of her internet. And as a thank you, I decided that we would have a beauty night and give each other facials with the Sarah McNamara Miracle Skin Transformer Miracle Mud. The mud from the mask comes from European lakes and unclogs pores, gets rid of dead skin cells, and brightens the complexion so naturally, we couldn't wait to use it.

We kept the masks on for 15 minutes before rinsing. You can feel your pores opening while you are waiting to rinse but don't freak out. That's just the mask getting rid of all the yucky stuff:)

Who are these sexy ladies? Me and Aunty Lara after our Friday facials of course! Oh, and don't forget to apply the Miracle Balm afterwards as we did. 

It's a good hydrater for the whole body but Aunty and I did a dab on our faces after the mask and it felt AMAZING! It included Manuka Honey and Japanese Licorice Root.

Me and Motions

I had not used Motions Hair Products since I used to get relaxers, so we will say it's been over 13 years. But I was very excited to try their For Natural Textures collection.

I washed my hair with the Moisturizing Cleanser and the Smoothing Conditioner then twisted my hair with the Hydrate My Curls Hair Pudding. 

I love the smell of these products and the conditioner is thick. I detangled my hair with the conditioner in it while wet with my fingers then rinsed. After I let my hair air dry I applied the pudding and twisted my  hair into two strand twists. Stay tuned for the twist out post! 

The Terrible 29s 4: Age Realization

Question: Why am I 29 wishing I was young again? I mean, I am still young right, technically? True, a female 29 is a male 66, I get it. But my God! My back cracks when I inhale! I get winded getting up in the middle of the night to pee!

I have a friend that teaches middle school full-time then is a part-time fitness instructor at a gym. On Instagram, you can find pictures of her instructing a class on how to run in place and do back bends. She is only two years younger than me. Where is she getting this energy from?! Running in place? Would you think less of me if I told you that I get from point A to point B in my apartment by rolling on my stomach?

Don’t even say it. I can hear you thinking that I should improve my diet and exercise. And I see all of you on social networking with your firm buns and tight Yoga pants, blending smoothies and using words like “glutes” and “’toids.” I work from home and don’t have time for this! Pardon me if I am 29 with little to no energy, but crying over your check book and dodging calls from creditors takes a lot out of you. How many calories do your burn running from Sally Mae?

I haven’t been the healthiest person up until now, I will admit it. But I worry because they say you are as old as you feel and I feel like Cicely Tyson looks. I used to be so fun! Okay, I have always been a little square, but I used to dance and laugh, what happened? More dues I had to pay the age police I guess. Sigh.

Review: Honey Pot 100% Natural Daily Feminine Wash

TMI story: I am not a fan of feminine wash. As a senior in high school, I tried a very popular wash to feel like a grown up and it was a DISASTER! That was 11 years ago, and I hadn't tried a feminine wash again until I came across Honey Pot 100% Natural Daily Feminine Wash. 

First off, the wash I tried was lavender scented, which I love, and it is made with organic and vegan ingredients, which is awesome! Because no woman wants to introduce unhealthy ingredients to their...honey pot, lol. 

The wash is also very light and rinses well without leaving behind residue. And, because it is made with great components, it is safe for pregnant women and young users.

Although I went into trying Honey Pot traumatized from my horrible high school experience, I can see myself continuing to use Honey Pot. It didn't irritate me, smells great, and I felt very clean after using it ( TMI I know!)
