Single Girl's Guide to (Anti) Valentines day: Love yourself

-
Okay yes, this is in some sense wicked cheesy but seriously, LOVE YOURSELF.
I mean if you don't, who will?
In all seriousness I'm sure of it that there is plenty of love in your life.
Even if you don't have a significant other to snuggle up with this Saturday, there are plenty of people out there who love you!
Your friends
Family
Your pets!!

Honestly, every day should be like Valentines day.  Who says you have to celebrate being in love with someone one day out of the year?  You should tell someone and show someone how much you love them in one way or another each day.

It's not about gifts, chocolates, flowers. cards and fancy dinners; Valentines day is about being together--and about Hallmark making a shit ton of money off of everyone *ugh*

But if you have no plans, no lover (like myself) this is the perfect day to TREAT YO SELF.

Pamper yourself with some of these amazing products from LUSHcosmetics! Who doesn't love a bath with candles?

1~ Blackberry Bath Bomb | 2~ Lonely Heart Bubble Bar | 3~ Sex Bomb Bath Bomb

I can personally say that I've used 2 out of the 3 of these! Blackberry "BOMB" has to be my favourite! It turns your water purple and smells heavenly. Use this just to relax and enjoy the night to yourself (This is the one I have ready for v-day!).  The Lonely Heart bubble bar will make tons of bubbles, turn the water a fun red-orange color and will leave you feeling like a diva. The Sex Bomb is also one that I have used. The scent was great and turned the water a nice color.  But if you really like something that fizzes like crazy I'd go with the Blackberry BOMB.

4~ Mask of Magnaminty
While you're waiting for the bath to fill up, I'd suggest putting on this mask before getting in the tub.  This is a great deep cleansing mask for anyone-- Especially if you break out often on your face or other parts of your body. It smells amazing and always leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. It also has a little bit of a tingly sensation while it dries, I think it's just amazing

5~ It's Raining Men
This is a shower gel/shampoo that is gentle and smells awesome.  It's not something I've used personally but there seems to be a lot of great reviews on the LUSH site. Sweet smelling and lots of honey in it to nourish dry skin and scalp.  Hopefully you'll love it!

With LUSH, I definitely suggest going to a retail store. Some things may look good online but don't smell as great in person.  Also most of the people who work at LUSH are super nice, knowledgeable about the products and are willing to HELP YOU. So don't be afraid to ask for their advice! Especially if you have sensitive/special skin :)

Drink a lot of this:


And watch a lot of these kinda of movies:

No seriously, trust me.  Watching movies like Sweeney Todd or A Perfect Murder are a great way to rebel against love and where lovers go mad. Screw chick flicks and The effing "Notebook" Watch something scary and bloody. You'll feel a lot better about your love life!

So with whatever you're planning on doing if you're not making it about someone else, make it all about you!  Because of course, you're most important. 
Wear black, paint your nails to match your soul and don't forget to love you.

David Bowie: Fashion Icon, Rock Legend

David Bowie January 8th, 1947- January 10th, 2016 Although I'm writing this several months after his death, I still wanted to bring forward the importance of David Bowie and his contribution to music and fashion.  I do have to admit, I never was a huge  David Bowie fan,but there has been a number of songs and outfits that have inspired me over the years. In his life, Bowie produced 26 albums, did 14 world tours and appeared in 21 films and television shows. He accomplished so much during his time and his death was a huge loss in the world of rock and roll.  While all of these accomplishments are great, there have been some iconic outfits that have been worn by Bowie in the past years that made some of these moments famous and never forgotten. Life on Mars Some of Bowie's most famous suits were designed by Freddie Burretti , including the suit he wore in the music video "Life on Mars."  Not only did he design the blue suit, but a lot of oth...

How DID the Pilgrims Cook Their Turkey?

This Thanksgiving will definitely be one we will talk about for years to come. A foot of snow... Hanging trees... Broken branches... No electricity for almost 3 days..... You know, just all of the great things you like to have at Thanksgiving. I got home from the airport around 2:30pm on Wednesday afternoon and the snow was really coming down out there.  There was about 3 inches on the ground by the time we got all the way home. As the night went on, our lights kept flickering on and off for a couple of hours when eventually the lights just went completely out around 6. Luckily, my parents invested in a generator a few years ago so my dad filled up the tank with the rest of the gas we had. Our generator only runs our water, heat and a few other essentials which is just enough to get us by.  Around maybe 10:30-11pm the power came back on and it looked like we were in luck! Although when I woke up the next morning......power was out and we had abou...

Artist Thursdays: Yamil Flores

This week's (late) Artist Thursday feature is all about the all talented Yamil Flores . Yamil wasn't always a photographer but about 5 years ago he bought his first camera and started doing street photography in New York City. Since then, he has been able to develop his own style and has taken on doing portrait photography in a new and exciting (natural) light. Flores is able to capture the true beauty and essence of those in front of his lens. Back towards the end of this past November, one of the girls at my office approached me about possibly doing a photoshoot with Yamil as he is a good friend of hers and they had taken photos together in the past.  I never really had anyone take my photo before other than a friend taking an outfit photo for this blog or that time I awkwardly posed for my senior yearbook photos in high school.  I was very nervous before meeting and working with Flores but I felt instant relief upon meeting him for the firs...
