Friday Randoms

Friday Randomness!

*Two songs on serious repeat this week: A Little Bit Stronger by Sara Evans and Hollywood by Michael Buble.

*Confession: I am not a fan of Sprinkles cupcakes (gasp!) I know. My cupcake crazy self has tasted better! Sweet! By Good Golly Miss Holly is my favorite.


(red velvet, pumpkin, strawberry)

*Speaking of cupcakes... I made these for my coworkers today! Yum!



HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

*Check out my awesome SOA shirt! Got the hookup when I was in CA because Julia's hubby Matt works on their set! I feel pretty BA (badass...Love you Dane Cook) when I wear it, I won't lie. Wish I could get one specially made for the pup, since he was named after the character Jax.



*Hair tips! I went to see my stylist, Marissa from Box Office Hair, and she gave me some lovely information. All you thin/dry haired people listen up!!

-You do not want to use shampoo or conditioners with Panthenol in them because this will dry your hair out.
-Do you use Sea Salt spray? I was thinking of buying some, because I read somewhere it is great for volume...something my hair seriously lacks. You must know that Sea Salt spray is not for everyday use, as the salt seriously drys out your hair. It is more for a fun night out.
-If you are looking for everyday volume, use a volume thickening spray.
-Another tip...only put conditioner on the ends of your hair. That is probably old news to everyone, but its new to me.

*My Halloween costume is scheduled to arrive today!! SO EXCITED! Can't wait to share pictures! What are you dressing up as? I have always wanted to dress up at the Chiquita banana lady.

Have a fun and safe weekend!
If you have cold weather where you live, send some this way puhlease!

Final LA Recap!

Trip to Hollywood sign x2

Visited a Mansion that was turned into a local park (BEAUTIFUL)

Venice Beach (very interesting place)

Huntington Beach (where I fell in love with CA)

Touching/breathing in the West Coast beach for the first time ever

Dinner at Ruby's

Hunted for new TOMS

Night out in Hollywood

I may or may not have gotten a new tattoo

Celebrities I saw/met:

I had hoped I would see at least one celebrity... I got spoiled!

Saw this man, Omar Epps, at a stop light in his RollsRoyce. I may or may not have screamed. I am one of those starstruck kind of girls! And a huge fan of HOUSE.

Saturday night I was at a dive bar with Joaquin Phoenix!! (who is not a fan of having his picture taken or being noticed btw. It's cool, I still heart him.) Funny thing is Julia and I were next to him, like literally arm to arm with him at the bar and didn't even realize it til we left!

AND Nick Cannon was standing in line behind me at Burger King in the LAX airport. I got the nerve to politely ask him for a picture and mustered out something else but I don't even remember. He said of course, that he loves Sprinkles cupcakes too, and to have a safe flight. He was sooo nice!

Overall, a great trip. Definitely an expensive place to live. I would have to have a pretty "baller" job to live comfortably there. If I were to ever consider moving there it would be to Huntington Beach. I felt at home there, as I always tell people : my heart lies on the beach. Thanks again to my dear friends Julia & Matt for everything!

Day 18: Something You Regret

"Everything happens for a reason"

I can't say I regret anything. I wouldn't be who or where I am today if those things didn't happen. Sure, I wish I could skip over certain areas of my life when I look back on them now (the many heartbreaks, failures, my wild party days, the loss of 3 friends and not making sure they knew how much I loved them...etc)... But I wouldn't have learned the lessons that have strengthened the woman I am right now, in this moment. It's all a part of life and a part of God's plan. I am blessed for everything that I have and all that has happened.
