The Monday Rundown

ASOS Spike Drop Earrings: I need these.  Period.  Also, they are TEN DOLLARS.  You read that correctly, TEN dollars.

Margarita Ice Pops: With the way the weather has been this past week, there’s nothing more refreshing than a margarita…so make that in ice pop form and it’s win-win.

Hourglass Cosmetics Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in “Raven”: Besides the gorgeous packaging (you know I’m a sucker), I love, LOVE this liquid lipstick.  The color is a fabulous orangey-red (but not too orange, you know).

Diptyque Le Langage de Fleurs Coffret: I’m 100% obsessed with Diptyque candles (Roses and Baies are my favorites) but the combo of Baies, Tubereuse and Jasmin is just heavenly.  Now you know what to buy me for the holidays, just saying.

Healthy Popsicles from Wellness Guru David Kirsch

I usually go for alcoholic summer drinks, as in margaritas, mimosas and other types of spiked juices.  BUT, being that I’m going all healthy again (starting today!), I’m loving these KIRSCH POPS recipes from wellness guru, David Kirsch.  David created these recipes and, besides being delicious, they give you your daily dose of vitamins or even hangover detox.

Detox Pop

Happy National Tequila Day!

In my experience, you’re either a rum/gin person or a tequila/vodka person, and I’m definitely the latter.  Today is national tequila day so naturally, I plan on going home, going to the gym and topping off my night with a quick tequila shot.  But just in case you’re not as gross as I am (you’re probably not), I wanted to share my favorite Margarita mixer, Refine Mixers.  It’s zero calories so you just add the tequila and that’s the only calories that you intake…usually less than 100 calories, depending on the tequila and how much you put in.

My latest trick: add in some jalapeno slices!  This tip comes courtesy of my friend Jen, who is a master chef (in my opinion, at least) and is jalapeno-obsessed.  Note, this tip is NOT for people who don’t like spice in their life.

For even more tequila cocktail recipes, check out this LA Times article and have a fab national tequila day!

La La Anthony’s Birthday Brunch with X-Rated Fusion Liqueur at Bagatelle LA

 

If you haven’t been to Bagatelle yet, you are missing out…so naturally, when I was invited to La La Anthony’s birthday brunch I was excited one, because I love La La and two, because the brunch was being held at Bagatelle and they were serving X-Rated Fusion cocktails.  Duh.  

“La La’s Birthday Bellini” was a hit and my friends and I dined on delicious french toast and caprese salad before competing in a “cake off” where my team created the below masterpiece.  Sydne Summer, the little artist that she is, drew La La’s face on the cake and the rest of decorated it with objects on the table.  We were all crazy competitive and totally obsessed with our creation, for obvious reasons.

Refine your body, hair & spirit event (hosted by me!)

It’s not every day that I find a way to combine three of my favorite things (low calorie cocktails, getting my hair done and working out ) so when Refine Mixers asked me to be the blogger host for their event with Blo Blow Dry Bar at Equinox West Hollywood, I was giddy with joy.  We sipped on Honey Tangerine Margaritas and Kiwi Cosmopolitans (only 100 calories each!) as guests enjoyed Blo’s braid bar and Equinox’s mini massages.  Check out Guest of a Guest for more photos from the event.
