ombré lips.
For my birthday Erica got me this great dual lipstick from Bite, which is perfect for doing easy ombré lips.
It was so simple - I just did the dark (red) shade on the outside of my lips, and the lighter (fuschia) shade on the inside. It’s not as fancy as the ombré lips/tutorials I’ve seen on makeup blogs, but it does the trick. Voila!
ribbon hair ties.
ALSO a gift from Erica…thanks E ![]()
Um, why didn’t anyone tell me about these things sooner?! They’re so much better than regular hair ties as they don’t break or leave creases in your hair. Not to mention they just look cuter in your hair and/or on your wrist.
vaseline spray & go moisturizer.
Ok – this stuff is a game changer. I’m slightly OCD about using body lotion every day, and Vaseline Spray & Go makes it SO much easier. I still love regular body lotion and body butters, but when I’m in a rush this is great for quick application *and* quick drying.
I’ve only tried the Cocoa Radiant one, which I love – it smells like cocoa butter!
roasted veggies.
Nothin’ fancy or new here, just good old big bowls of roasted vegetables. I’ve mentioned before how roasting vegetables (with lots of spices) is the best way to make them taste good, and lately I’ve been making big batches ahead of time.
Smothered with some Annie’s Goddess dressing = perfection.
(I have a great guide to roasting vegetables on this post)

What are you loving right now? Any of these things?










Roasted veggies, always a love.
Also loving- training for spring races, and getting making plans for summer jobs and living. It’s so far yet so close!
Hmm, never heard of the ombre lip look! Soo different and pretty! If I can be patient enough, I might have to try that
Roasted veggies are ALWAYS a yes. And those Sephora hair ties are great - especially for not holding your hair too tight!
That dressing changes lives!
I am really into smoked salmon lately… and tahini as dressing on anything- try it!
Okay, so I was not super impressed by the spray and go moisturizer! I got it, thinking it’d be awesome, and it smells really good, and it doesn’t make you sweat like a pig during a workout like my thick body cream does, however, I still get ashy like halfway through the day, and that really doesn’t work for me! And I thought it was sorta expensive for the fact that I was still ashy. I want them to reformulate so I can use it!
oooh- I love that lip color! It’s so great for spring.
I have never heard of ombre lips! Crazy stuff, but yours looks amazing.
This is the first I’m hearing of Ombre lips…how cool!
I’m loving the fact that spring is here at last…NYC weather is being nice to us now but rumor has it we may get snow next week
I am obsessed with pret a manger white cheddar and caramel popcorn
