I’m gonna brag here for a minute. Not even humblebrag, just straight up brag. Y’all, my family is awesome. Not just my mama, dad, and bro (happy 30th!!), but my entire extended family of aunts and uncles, cousins, cousin/brother (NOT a weird TX thing), cousins-in-law, cousin’s girlfriend, and baby cousins!! Everyone gets along so well…
FOR 10% OFF YOUR WHOLE ORDER, JUST USE MY CODE LYSSA1011 through December 15, 2016. The ways to use Apple Cider Vinegar are endless: a shot in the a.m. (or mixed with water) is said to promote weight loss. It’s a crazy good toner for your face. It’s delicious mixed with cherry juice and club…
This is funny: click to open the #GivingTuesday Circular Following the shopping frenzies of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a way of reminding consumers to give back after days of shopping. The super creative circular above mocks the traditional sales flyers while showcasing the pre-packaged donations you can make,…
CONSUME! That’s kinda what I feel like this blog is about right now, which is weird because I’m NOT about that life. To be fair, though, I’ve been doing some serious window/pinterest shopping, but have been really happy not buying. Sometimes the pursuit is better than the purchase (SO much analysis to do on that…
OptOutside this Black Friday … <–and create a cool social media graphic to let everyone know. Or maybe you want to shop. I don’t blame you, except the crowds. IF you’re going to shop, these are my current fave brands/retailers … yes, I’m a little outdoor adventure biased this year. And they’re mostly online brands,…
I’m having a hard time deciding what I’m most thankful for this year. An abundance of blessings is perhaps the most I could be grateful for, but let’s also acknowledge that I make the choice to be grateful for the wonderful–and not so–things in my life. Perhaps that’s what I’m most grateful for, the awareness…
Cuz you most definitely need a little om in your life before/after all that yum. Check out donation yoga all over O.C. at one of their ten CorePower locations, list here. Say you’re in Austin, they got you too. Houston, where I’ll be, has no CorePowers. I’ll be looking for a class (and update here…
OMG! On a rainy Sunday morning in Newport Beach, I woke up, made coffee, and strolled over to Lido Marina Village with Denali. Remiss in visiting the up-and-coming, completely revamped village/nabe/new shopping center, I can’t believe it took me so long to get over there. It’s absolutely adorable! And the shops. Oh, the shops. The…
Despite being 32, I still have to do what my mom tells me. Most of the time. I made the decision yesterday not to do a Feel Good Friday post. Not a big statement, I just didn’t feel like it, and since the only pressure on this blog is my own, I said I don’t hafta! …
Paula’s Choice Fantastic Lash is my new fave mascara. Great length, separation, and thickness, in that order. You can really build this up without many coats, which is super ideal for daily use and my under-2-minutes morning makeup routine. But you can add more layers later and it doesn’t get chunky or clumpy. Perfect for…
