Spa day with the girls

So I was recently thinking about a Beauty Party I had about two summers ago and I’m thinking it might be time for another one!  Working in the beauty industry and blogging as much as I do, I do get lots of product, some of which I know I’ll never use, so what better way to have a fun girls night, right?  Last time I sent out an email to about 10 friends but this time, I’m taking it up a notch.  Erin Condren makes the cutest “spa day” invitations, which make me feel very adult and I’m totally obsessed.  It’s two years later so might as well class up the party a bit!

Musts:

  • Cocktails (last time I had each friend bring one bottle of wine)
  • Snacks/appetizers
  • Tons of beauty loot
  • Current music hits (anything Justin Timberlake, JayZ, Lady GaGa, etc.)
  • The classics (aka Paula Abdul, New Kids on the Block, Vanilla Ice) – I’m telling you, nothing is funnier than re-living elementary school

St. Patrick’s Day Gift Guide

So St. Patrick’s Day is totally the forgotten holiday when it comes to presents and being raised in a predominantly Irish and Italian area of New York, St. Patrick’s Day was always a HUGE deal and a big celebration in school as well.  Since this is my first St. Patty’s in LA, and there aren’t many Irish people out here, I decided to call a little extra attention to the biggest drinking day of the year.  And, as my freckled counterpart, Ashley Brady, says “on behalf of Ireland, we thank you.”

Sue Devitt Hydrating Marine Minerals Eye Palette in “Green Isles”

This beautiful Destination Eye Palette just screams the rolling green hills of Ireland to me.  The colors, though green, are universally flattering and blendable.  I’m kind of in love with this palette.

Michelle Roy is known for her trendy and fun designs and I’m really into both of these pieces.

Wood and coral stretch bracelets with charm, SRP $58

Chain with clover, SRP $72


Erin Condren is one of those brands that people instantly fall in love with and if you’re super Irish, you NEED some St. Patty’s Day paper goods like these gift labels, flat note cards, folded greeting cards, etc.  Best of all- the entire St. Patrick’s Day collection is 20% off!!!
