So make sure you tune in for this…Benefit is one of my favorite brands!
So last month I raved about Baked By Melissa cupcakes but I have a new obsession…Stuffed Cupcakes! Sadly, they’re only available in New Jersey right now but my theory is that soon you will soon be spotting them in NYC and across the country cause they are DELISH. What do I love about these cupcakes? Well, for one, like the name says, they are stuffed and two, they are soft and delicious. Get them now.
So even though LA doesn’t exactly have a traditional fall season, I still feel the need to surround myself with my usual fall traditions from NYC…little pumpkins from the supermarket, apple cidar and Lamas Beauty Pumpkin Spice Polish. I’ve been using this facial cleanser for some time now and I have to say, it’s really impressive. Not only does it smell good enough to eat but it really does a great job of exfoliating and cleansing the skin. Anyhow, I recently came across this yum recipe that’s not only amazing for your skin but also tastes amaze… this is now added to my list of fall traditions…leaves or no leaves in LA.
Want to make your own? Kayla Fioravanti, ARC Registered & Certified Aromatherapist and the Co-founder and Chief Cosmetic Formulator for Essential Wholesale has an awesome recipe for a Honey Pumpkin Spread that’s especially good for dry skin.

So I know that wedding season is pretty much over but I came across this really unique product and had to share. It’s called I Do Tattoo. I know…I was scared too at first but this idea is actually pretty genius. What is it exactly? Well it’s a blue colored temporary tattoo. Personally, if I were to get married tomorrow, I would have no idea what blue item to wear…and I Do Tattoo makes it pretty easy. You can simply apply one of their blue temporary tattoos and you are covered- bad luck be gone. Think tattoos are tacky? They definitely can be and most people probably don’t want their dolphin ankle tattoo from 1994 showing on their wedding day, right? Well you can just apply it somewhere discreet like your upper thigh or back, etc. And there’s a bonus- you get TWO tattoos…one for practice and one for the big day…AND the blue case that they come in also serves as a cute photo frame when you’re done. Win win!
So I literally LOL’d when I saw these greeting cards. I was just thinking the other day how no one really sends snail mail anymore and it makes me kinda sad. I still have a crazy amount of stationary lingering from middle and high school (yeah, I’m a pack rat) and no one to write to! Anyhow, when I saw The Ass Award, I immediately started thinking about which one of my friends would get which award. My favorite? The Wild Ass because a zebra can never be tamed!
So as you know, I’m totally loving the LA life. However, one downfall is definitely the driving situation when going out. It’s been annoying to have to plan ahead who is going to be the sober driver and if I’m driving, I have to stop at two drinks…which for me is pretty difficult, hehe. Anyhow, I came across this amazing (and genius) new company called Y Drive LA. It’s truly brilliant. For only $39 a driver will come and get you, drive YOUR car home and then ride away in his/her own scooter type deal (which funny enough, fits into your trunk. As much as I wouldn’t want to be the poor driver, I feel a sigh of relief knowing that if I DO get a little too tipsy, I can always get a ride home (and my car home safe) for less than $40. Safe and awesome.
