Let LOVE prevail. This was challenging you guys. I’m not a big cheesy love quote person, I’m actually very far from it. There are few romantic quotes that speak to me, but in my relationship, it’s hard to take most romantic quotes seriously.
It’s 2019 and it’s time to workout. Take care of our bodies. Our bodies are the coolest things on the planet earth you guys, they can do miraculous things. Let’s test that this year, let’s get it moving & bending & to its full mechanical potential.
We can talk about the glitter & glam side of makeup all day, and it’s very easy to go that direction with all the new products constantly coming out. The dramatic cat eye, holiday glitter shadow, cut cheekbones, ultra-defined brows, & the fluffiest fake eyes lashes are all EXCITING, but how realistic are they for the average girl heading to her office in the morning with -15 minutes to get ready?
Body moisturizer might not sound like a big deal to the average person, but that’s because they haven’t found the right one. I used to be like them – going about my life worrying about the right color lip gloss for my day, to wear flats or heels, what time I was going to sleep – but then I discovered a key part of my day to day activities: body moisturizer.
We’re already feeling the fresh air & cool breeze that naturally comes with the new season – even in Texas. There’s nothing better than walking outside to a big welcoming breathe of fresh, cool air. You know, I’ve had a long term crush on one very important thing that makes your face feel as good as that breathe of cool fresh air? That crush is ROSE WATER.
You’ll probably NEVER guess my favorite clothing brand & place to shop. You’ll never be able to guess because I only recently discovered it & claimed it as my favorite – now I’m sharing the deets.
Last time I was in Dubai, it was the Dubai Shopping Festival. Which means: SALES. EVERYWHERE. There couldn’t be more glorious news for me to hear.
The Dubai Mall has SO many amazing stores, but lucky for me I stumbled into & Other Stories. I’m telling you, everything. And I mean literally everything – was perfect. The range of styles, the customer service, the gorgeous dressing rooms, the fabrics, the pricing, the smells, the fucking lighting. SPOT ON. I grabbed a stack of clothes, as one does when they step in a new store not knowing sizing, and every single item fit like a glove. The experience was magical. Don’t tell me that wouldn’t tickle your pickle.
The only issue? I tried on way more than I was expecting to actually buy, assuming something wouldn’t fit or I wouldn’t like it. But when everything fits so perfectly… you have to buy it all! Right?
Here’s the deal, not only do the pieces fit perfectly. The fabrics & quality are incredible. A simple T-Shirt has quality & detail like no other. At a decent price.
Also, prior to my trip I was willing to spend hundreds/thousands/millions of dollars on a new pair of jeans because I could NOT find any that I loved at an affordable price & became desperate. I’m extremely picky when it comes to jeans & was searching for years you guys, YEARS! I finally decided I’d throw down a lot of money on a pair, because more money has to mean a better jean. I order several popular brands, assuming one had to be amazing, but returned all of them. I hated them. Every single one.
Fast forward to my experience in & Other Stories, I bought 2 pairs of jeans! (Big deal for me.) And this brand will be my go-to jean going forward. They’re the only ones I own right now. Again, they fit like a glove. EXACTLY what I was looking for. And a fraction of the price compared to the other popular brands. If you’re looking for a real jean, I found them for you.
I hate to say perfect so many times throughout this post but everything about this place is – perfect.
Of course I quickly made sure they had an online store, and fantastic news, they do. And free shipping to the U.S. They also have a few actual store locations throughout the, WORLD. I believe there’s one in L.A. & obviously Dubai. But I think also throughout Europe.
