So a couple weeks ago, I received an invite to a Body Shop event at Pacific Place and I RSVP’ed. Celebrity makeup artist (oh, she’s good!), fun products, and a new line of bronzing options so that we sun-fearing, fair-skinned ladies can still rock a golden look during the summer… It sounded interesting, so I [...]
It’s been a whirlwind year already. I look back at goals I had set for myself and miraculously watch as they’re each ticked off the list. This year has been like a lesson in personal manifestation – the more tuned-in you are to your goals, the more you work consciously and subconsciously to achieve them. [...]
Not having a whole lot of extra spending money, I’m constantly trying to look for ways to update what I have for cheap. I still love the thrill of a purchase, but I have to be very choosy when it comes to what I’m buying. I’m looking for quality items that work with what I [...]
Friday was party-night; we celebrated Jess Estrada’s birthday at Hollyhood! I was under the weather most of last week (hence the lack of posts), but it sounded like too much fun to miss out on. I was waiting till the very last minute to pick something to wear, when I remembered this little frock the [...]
Mister and I were talking about our recent trip to Vegas and about some of the tics and funny things you notice when you’re playing table games. Craps, for example, is totally a fool’s game, a poor investment, a waste of money and time, but there’s a bigger lesson to be had at a Craps [...]
Hi Guys! Time to toot my own horn and fill you in on what I’ve been doing outside of Bonne Vie… As you know, I’ve spent a lot of time curating a lot things with Kimberlee from Deco Modiste. Recently we’ve discovered we have a lot of scrap, a lot of unused or broken vintage [...]
Let’s get personal… I wonder how many people are feeling this … “penultimate” weirdness towards growing older. I know I’m still fairly young, but I can’t help but notice how events transpire around me that give me the shivers. I wonder how life can be so tragic, beautiful, and how it can transpire so quickly. [...]
Whether it’s the way you get ready in the morning, the relationships you keep, your New Year resolutions or what you’re doing with your life, remember this. And then, brainstorm how to step outside of this, and how to make it work for you. You can change the cycle if you realize it for what [...]
It’s been just over 4 months since Mister and I embarked on the marital journey. It’s funny because it doesn’t seem much different than before and people continually ask, “How’s married life?” And I reply, “Same as real life?” It’s funny how little marriage changes reality, and the weird ways in which it does. I [...]
With the prevalence of private sale sites comes the new way to play – online auctions. They’re not just any old auction, though, making Ebay seem tame. Sites like OohILove are starting to crop up, along with a lot of debate as to whether or not many of these sites are scamming consumers. I’ll admit, [...]
