Wednesday Roundup

Good morning!  It's going to be a beautiful day.  I can just feel it!  Before we get down to things, though, I would like to take a minute to remember our 9/11 heroes.  I was only about eight years old on this horrible day 12 years ago, but I won't ever forget watching the Twin Towers fall on the television in my third grade classroom.  Today, we are still fighting to bring justice to the people who perished that day and I appreciate everyone who serves or has served our country.  Thank you for all that you do! 

Now, let's talk a little bit about beauty....

If you're super into beauty like myself (you're reading this which means you probably are), then you'll love this 30-minute video where some of the industry greats discuss the latest and greatest in beauty and fashion.  I can't actually put the video in this post, so click here to view it.

An Aloe Plant
Holistic skincare is my jam these days, so I went ahead and bought an aloe plant because it's apparently great for healing spots, hair growth, psoriasis and everything else in between.  Plus, this aloe plant is acting as my pet.  I've wanted a dog forever, but at the moment, I think a plant is the only thing I could keep alive.

Ok, so maybe it's not as cute as a puppy.


Karlie's Kookies
As if she couldn't get any more perfect, Karlie Kloss went and teamed up with Momofuku Milk Bar to make Karlie's Kookies.  These "kookies" are gluten- and dairy-free, plus they probably turn you into a super model.




Well, that's what I've got for today.  How is your Wednesday going so far?

Wednesday Roundup

Good morning, everyone! It looks like that time of week again, a.k.a time for the Wednesday Roundup.  Let's see what's up this week...

NYFW: A Night for Green Beauty
Alright, people, if you're a budding "cosmetic hippie" like myself then you will be thrilled to know that today marks the day of the first ever "A Night for Green Beauty" event during New York Fashion.  Also, if you're like me, then you're wishing you were in NYC instead of in Kentucky, rotting away in Spanish class.  Oh well...we can't have it all!

The PSL is Back!
Geez, what's with all of the acronyms today?  Anyways, the Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks.  However, I personally don't feel right drinking one until I can wear a chunky cable knit outside without burning up.  Thick sweaters and PSL's are two of my favorite fall traditions.

Marc Jacobs' Sally 
If ever there was a time that I wished it was colder outside so that I could wear fall nail colors, it is now.  I am in absolute head-over-heels love with Marc Jacobs' Enamored Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer in Sally.  It's dark green or black, depending on how the light hits, but gorgeous no matter which way you look at it.  So amazing!

So, readers...how are your weeks going?
