Visits

Recently two of my friends from out of town came to visit. Yay! Heidi came in from LA for a quick visit and I was fortunate enough to grab a fun lunch with her. It was so great to catch up! I haven't seen her in years!   (Heidi Squared!!)

Jessica came in to SLC for her nieces birthday and Allison and I had a lunch plus splendid afternoon with her. We ate delicious food, sat on the grass for hours, petted a giant dog, and had a perfectly lovely afternoon.

Of course both times we ate here. (Where else would I eat?!?!)

I love dandelions I think they are so perfectly summery. :)

Blue sky nothing but blue sky from now on!

Five Friday Faves Earth Day Edition

Since Earthday is Sunday, I thought I would do a FFF post dedicated to some of my favorite Eco-Friendly beauty products.  Recently I have been trying to switch all my beauty products over to eco-friendly brands. (I always buy no animal tested products/Vegan products) but I've been trying really hard to buy from companies that actual and aren't just trying to "greenwash"  I realize that I could try and make my own, but I don't even cook food, so lets be reasonable here folks.

Tarte LipSurgence Lipstain

I have yet to find a better lip color then these. They come in glossy , they come matte and they are AMAZING. This has been my go to for a awhile now. I am a lip product junkie. I have yet to find a lip product as good at these.

*I also love their Lights Camera Action! Mascara, and Tipsy Natural Cheek Stain.

Sparitual Nail Polish

Hands down the BEST nail polish. Its stays on had fantastic color choices and an easy grip top.

And at about $10.00 a bottle is totally reasonable!

Lush Oatfix Face Mask

Smells delicious! Recently I got a horrible burn from using Benzoyl Peroxide on my skin. It was bright red and itched liked crazy. This is the only think that made it normal.

*Since trying the mask I've also started using, T for Toes Dusting Powder. 

La Vanilla, Vanilla Coconut Perfume

This is the first perfume I've ever found that doesn't leaving me sneezing or with a headache.

It doesn't have a bunch of crap it in, and I of course love anything that smells liek coconut.

Pureolgy Anti-Split Blowdry

Hair stuff. Smells good. Protects hair from heat. Love it

All products, are Vegan, not tested of animals, uses earth friendly ingredients and minimal packaging. :)

Isn't he lovely with that light radiating behind his head?

Looks like somebody's been working out!

That smile. Le seigh.

My husband looks so dashing in a suit.

To sum it up, I've had a long day. I love James Franco and I hope is birthday is awesome like a possum.

Le sigh.

Few things in life make me happier then Googling James Franco.

Seven Dangers

Sicky

Diego is sick again. Please send him love and healthy wishes. He has to stay at the vet for 2 days. :(

Happy

This is my favorite quote:

Hands down. I love it. I have it on my wall. I want to get it tattooed on my shoulder.


Its my favorite saying and all too often I forget to actually do it. See, I'm really good at getting advice and listening to my friends. But I'm beginning to think if something could make me happy, and its not truly harmful to anyone shouldn't I maybe just give it a try? Even if some of my friends think its a bad idea?  I love my friends, they are amazing,  they're intentions are all good, but sometimes I think I listen to much to what they say, and not always do what I want. I'm almost 30 for hells sake. You think I should be able to make more decisions on my own, based solely on if I think they desired income might make me happy.

I watch my friends ignore my opinion all the time. On everything from what pants to buy, what boys to date, what bar to go to, what trip to take, or whatever. I honestly don't get offended if they don't take my suggestion. They do what they think will make them happy. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oh well. That's life. You live and you learn.

I am blessed. I have a roof over my head, a job, food, I know some wonderful people. I'm pretty set I think. I am lucky. I really like 2012. But  as I approach 30 I think its time for me to rally. Stand on my own to feet. Take a few more risks. Ask myself: "Will this make me happy?"  I should worry less about my friends opinions. If I truly want to "Follow my bliss" I should. Even if it means some people don't agree with my choices along the way.

Easter

HOPPY EASTER!

And just an FYI I used to bunny-sit for a friend, and while totes adorbs, bunnies are not the best pets. Hugs!

Announcement

I have a new boyfriend. His name is Cory Monteith.

April Fools!

You guys don't really think I'd cheat on my husband James Franco do you?

I mean come on now.
But seriously, how totes adorbes are me and Finn Hudson/Cory Monteith?

Anywho, I heard on the news that there was a celeb event at The Canyons for Operation Smile yesterday, so I rallied Courtney and we ventured up to see what/who we could find. Were we literally there an hour, and found plenty. For a random Saturday in March I consider it a success!

We were not there two mins before we saw Jesse Tyler Fergerson. He was so nice! And his boyfriend is hot.

I'm loving my double shot with JTF, and Ty Burrell. I LOVE Modern family and have wanted a photo with Ty forever. Which I realize is lame seeing he owns a bar here and lives here half the time. But I won't be judged. He is hard to find!

Jason Issacs I was scared of. I met him years ago and he was super nice but since then I've not heard the best things. Needless to say, I approached with caution. He was very kind and I was pleased.When I asked to take a picture he said "Absolutely Darling!" His new show really confuses and stresses me out.

Whitney Cummings She is a doll and I have thought she was super funny since I watched her on Chelsea Lately.

Nothing better then seeing Harry Shum Jr, and just thinking "It's Mike Chang! It's Mike Chang!" Yes I had to google his real name before approaching.

Lisa Kudrow! Yes, I've met her before, but I don't love the pic. Maybe 30 seconds after this photo was taken I got in a fight with a girl about who is a bigger FRIENDS fan. Maybe it made things awkward. No it was not the creeper in the background.

And yes, Cory was nice. Super nice actually he thought we had met before and kept saying I looked familiar. He asked if his snowboard could be in the pic. He thought that looked cooler. I was really excited that he was such a friendly guy. And I like how cute we looks. I've always considered myself a Puck girl, but Finn gained some points this weekend.
What a pleasant surprise!
