Thorny Rose Bowl LA Event at The Spare Room
I know I’m definitely jaded but it’s pretty rare that an event actually wows me these days…but when I was invited to Thorny Rose’s bowling event at The Spare Room (e.g. inside my favorite hotel ever- The Roosevelt), I just KNEW that it would be FUN. What I didn’t know is exactly how good Thorny Rose wine would actually taste. I’m currently drinking the Sauvignon Blanc (seriously, drinking it right this second) and is really, REALLY good.
Kristen and I took photos and used the hash tag #ThornsUp so that they would print out instantly (SO cool), played Jenga with friends and took fun photos with the cute props they had on all the tables- SO fun and even better wine.

Obsessed: Alberto Parada 18K Rose Gold Carnelian and Diamond Ring
So every once in awhile I find a piece of jewelry that I can not stop thinking about and yes, it’s happened once again. Alberto Parada’s 18K rose gold Carnelian and diamond ring is totally amazing. We all know that I’m a big fan of wearing the color red so it shouldn’t be any surprise that I’m totally in lust with this gorgeous piece of finger art. While, yes, I can’t afford it (SRP: $4,150), a girl can dream can’t she?
Alberto is known for his simplistic sustainable fine jewelry and also known for using conflict-free diamonds and ethically-sourced gems. And, Alberto’s jewelry contains only HARMONY gold which is recylced, refined and produced in Virginia; Alberto chooses 100% recycled gold so his jewelry doesn’t contribute to the environmental destruction and waste caused by precous-metal mining. If you’re in the market for some Earth Day pieces, this is a great line to choose from!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Diptyque Rose Candle
So I don’t usually do too much Breast Cancer Awareness coverage…not because I don’t care about the cause but mainly because I find most of the products only donate like 2% of proceeds to the cause. Just because you decide to slap a pink ribbon on some pink lipgloss, doesn’t make me really want to pay $45 for it when you’re only donating $2…right!? Anyhow, you all know of my severe addiction to all things Diptyque and when I found out that Diptyque is donating 20%, yes I said 20%, of proceeds from sales of the Pink Rose Candle (a personal fave scent), I had to make it known. I officially approve. You can get the charity version of Roses at the New York Diptyque boutique or at this link: http://www.beautyhabit.com/product3005.html

DIY: Rose Ice Cubes
So I’ve always had this weird thing with ice cubes. I’ve made them out of orange juice, put grapes in them, I even have heart shaped trays. When I saw this article on CasaSugar, I felt impelled to try something even cooler. How pretty would this be for a wedding or BBQ this summer?!
