To say that I’m a mascara hoarder would be an understatement. I’m too afraid to actually go into my beauty closet and COUNT all of the mascara that I’ve hoarded over the years because, yeah, it might be a little bit scary. In this BATTLE OF video, I compare two similar mascaras from Benefit and Tarte to see which one works best for me. Check it out.
This cocktail is, in one word, delicious. Guys…it has KALE in it, and you know I’m obsessed. Try this out and tweet me what you think! You can follow me @ItsJamieStone.
Ingredients:
2 parts Milagro Reposado Tequila
1 part Fresh Lime Juice
0.75 parts Agave Nectar
2 strips of green Bell Peppers
1 D’Avignon Radish
1/5 Kale Leaf
Combine the pepper, radish and kale leaf in the mixing glass of a Boston shaker and muddle. Add remaining ingredients and ice and shake vigorously. Strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass and garnish with a kale leaf and lime wheel.
I can’t pretend that I actually want to show off my stomach (ever) but when I saw this photo of Rihanna in London, my eyes popped out of my head. To say that Ri Ri has a hot bod is simply an understatement, she has the innate ability to put on literally anything and just look AMAZING in it- so not fair. The best part about this outfit is that it’s pretty much effortless and you can pull it together using basic wardrobe staples (e.g. boyfriend jeans, metallic heels) and, ok, you might have to buy the sequin crop top…
Chrissy Teigen is one of those people you truly want to be best friends with…or at least, I do. If you’re not already following her on Twitter, you should be, cause let me tell you- she is hilarious. And with that said, it was no surprise that we had literally the funniest interview ever and it was truly hard narrowing it down to only three questions!
Q: What advice would you give your 22-year-old self?
A: Don’t be so worried…at 22 I felt so lost. What am I gonna do with my career? Am I gonna have a career? I never just stopped and took the moments in, so I would tell myself not to be so worried.
Q: What made you decide to partner with Gillette Venus?
A: They’re just such a wonderful company; honestly, it’s great to see a company being so interactive with women. I’m a girl’s girl. It’s cool to be with a brand that really appreciates and empowers women- I love it. We’ve partnered up with Step Up Women’s Network and we’ve done this thing called “Step Up and Step Out” and for every step taken on our blue carpet, Gillette Venus donated $1 to Step Up Women’s Network. It’s great seeing how quickly something good can be done, via social media, with just a hash tag (#StepUp).
Q: Speaking of social media (Chrissy’s tweets are infamous), what was the one tweet that everyone just freaked out over?
A: Oh, so many come to mind. I’ll say anything tweeting from award shows…some people have some hard-core fans. So never upset…the fans. (lots of laughter after this) To note, Chrissy is a self-proclaimed member of “the bey-hive,” which is apparently Beyonce fans.
If you read my blog on the regular, then you probably already know about the modern day FOMO. Ahhhh, the Fear Of Missing Out: a recognized anxiety (seriously, it is) that something amazing is going on somewhere…and you’re missing out on it. For example, when your friends all go on vacation to Cabo, which you couldn’t go on, because you have an evil boss, and you see a STREAM of Instagram photos that make you want to drown your sorrows in whiskey. That’s just ONE example…and speaking of whiskey, I’m pretty into this new contest that Jack Daniels is doing on behalf of their Tennessee Honey alcohol. The blend of whiskey and honey liqueur is a little bit of honey, and a whole lot of Jack, which makes for an AMAZING summer drink. It’s a superb mixer for an unexpected twist on summer cocktails.
As for the contest, you are gonna want to enter the Jack Summer Swarm contest. The most awesome photo wins a $5,000 travel voucher for the ultimate summer trip. Popular vote will decide the top contenders and then the Jack Daniels judges will make the final call. That means you should be driving your friends jealous with all your “Can’t believe you missed this” moments, but make sure they’re voting for your pics, too.
Here’s my list of summer to do’s (adapted from last year’s list):
Go to happy hours in Century City and Downtown LA: two places I hardly ever go!
Soooo, I cut my hair (watch video above). I have to admit, as much as I prefer having long hair, I feel free! My hair is much healthier, shinier, bouncier, and every other word ending in “ier” so make sure to check out my video and let me know what you think of my new ‘do. The lovely Karine at Fekkai Melrose Place fixed up my highlights and also gave me an eight-product restorative treatment.
