In spirit of flower power

All i have been thinking about since last week is the long weekend ahead! for some of us might be just a short little day to enjoy with family and for others just a chance to fill your bellys of wine which in my case i ideally would like to do both!

I am preparing my home for visits and friends to come hang. 

Since theres no better way to get your organic, flower power than at my local Trader Joe's i bought 

some flowers and even found some fresh and pretty Lavender!

Ever since i have been obsessing on the different things that can be done with fresh organic lavender. 

1. First of all it smells amazing so just have it everywhere while its fresh.

( i hung mine on top of my record player on my living room )

 You can hang it around your house as decoration to dry. It looks pretty. 

2. Make several bouquets, be very careful while doing this because flowers may crumble all over.

They say that lavender is for good luck, but i also believe that lavender has mega flower powers that help us from the inside out. From making relaxing teas, lemonades and cookies to just letting it dry and store it in little bags around your drawers. This little flower is guaranteed to turn any frowns upside down and give your home some great vibes and a nice touch.

who doesn't love the lavender pastel colors?!

I have made a PINTREST board with ideas to make the most out of your Lavender. 

Follow some of my boards and lets brainstorm together. 

I wish you all a great weekend and a 4th of july full of fireworks, good times and  laughter. 

What is your favorite flower power? 

the week is young

it is barely Tuesday and a whole week of unexpected things awaits.

I happen to be home today just reading and hanging around my apartment with my puppy

then all this thoughts of home filled my mind

Does one ever OUTGROW being homesick?

I have trouble with knowing how adult life works and i wonder if theres more adults out there feeling homesick and if so....does age matter?

I love where i live and what i do but being a twenty something adult sometimes leaves you in a limbo between home life , apartment life , work life and happily ever after life. 

when i feel like that i always put up some good tunes and grab something sweet.

in this case a gluten free sugar cone + best coast

love this song and missing the beach and home.
nothing like LA but still home.

Anything Can Happen Saturday! Episode 2

 This weekend i planned with my boyfriend the a second edition of what we call

" anything can happen Saturdays" 

What this activity consists of is not planning anything at all just getting in the car and picking restaurant at random, activities and places. 

I have found it to be incredibly awesome and full of possibilities. 

If you know me you'd know i love planning and stressing over perfect outcomes but for once on saturday i DONT have to do any of that isn't it awesome?!

Heres some of the things that happen this saturday

went on a stroll around town after mexican food and margaritas to watch the sunset

 then we made a sudden stop at Urban Outfitters where they had a massive sale

i got this TWO pairs of shoes for 10.00 dlls whAAAAAT?

i also fell in love with a lot of stationary, shower caps and finally more blank sheets of paper to fill with thoughts and doodles. You know me... I will be a teen forever 

What's best than stumble upon nail art books and 90s books on SALE?! well it only got better by a tiny bit with those awesome buttons!

We ended our night coming home to a pajama 90's party! 

my boyfriend made pineapple mango tequila shooters and watched the 100 greatest songs of the 90s!

then i totally passed out on my couch with a full heart because you know//... I'm a 90s baby.

Im so in love with all my cheap finds i found at Urban Outfitters it totally made my weekend

how was your weekend? would you try anything can happen saturday? 

This Weekend you need to drip in GOLD

Anyone that knows me knows three basic things about me ,which tend to be the most important and easiest ways to understand me. 

#1 I'M A LEO

#2 I love GOLD/SHIMMER everything

#3 I HATE tans

With that being said here we go.  

I don't think i mentioned here but i did mentioned on my twitter @cindilove  i finally went to LUSH. That organic, hand made cosmetic store where soap is 19 dlls a pound. I'm not going to say bad things about the store only that  i just feel that being a "happy hippie" (name of one of their body washes) is EXPENSIVE and a bit pointless. The entire time i was in the store  I was mainly trying to figure out what i was looking at and what i was smelling. After many surprisingly bad smells, odd textures and pricey soaps ...... i tried this thing called LUSTRE. 

OH -EM- GEEZAAY from the heavens. 

(i legit said that)

Its this little bottle of soft shimmer? i can't really describe the texture but the smell is amazing. It smells like pure desire in a bottle. (btw it does also have a warning that the smell puts the 'lust' in lustre) 

I grabbed the bottle and spread it though my arms and legs  the shimmer was so nice ,  it was not the glittery 13 yr old glitter shimmer (which i do also love..don't judge) it was more like a fake tan shimmer. 

Knowing what you know of me guess what?...i didn't even freak out when i saw that my skin looked healthy sun kissed , smelled amazing AND having that shimmery look.

Trust me i have tried MANY shimmery lotions, liquids, powders etc; i have not ever liked one as much as this. The price well.. still very expensive hippie and i'm not even judging.  I'm just hoping in the back of my mind that it was made with unicorn smiles or something amazing like that. 

This is my beauty obsession of the week ! I don't feel like going out this weekend but showing off my perfectly sun kissed skin might just make me change my mind. 

What body shimmers are your favorite? do share with me !!! plz! seriously. 

Cute Objects of The Week!

I should probably call this the 'Cute objects of the MID-week ' since its Wednesday and all, but since i will be doing spotting cute items each week i will just leave it at that. 

In this post i am sharing with you some of the items i have been obsessing over this week. 

1. A Vintage TV Laptop bag that i think its kind of amazing.

2. A coral statement necklace which i'm still trying to figure out if its a tree branch or a sea thing? cute either way. I got it for my birthday last week. 

3. I have been in this frenzy of making accent pillows. Every quote that comes to mind works. Except bad words, leave those for your rap songs. 

4. Last but not least my birthday boots, that became my weekend boots and my boyfriend is starting to look at me weird because i look like i don't own other shoes. Its called obsession right? it will pass, but for now LOVE them. 

 

what are you obsessing over this week?  lets share!

DIY ALERT : Makeup Brush Cap

hello !

August is here and since its the peak of summer we all get a little more laid back and since we are all either in vacation or enjoying the sunny days , we tend to run into little annoyances like misplacing an eyeliner cap which just happened to me this pas weekend while visiting my family! 

i happen to have a gel eyeliner and the one thing i HATE is it comes with a brush with no cap. I have had it for 1 month and the condition of the brush is not so great anymore. I decided to try this little DIY tip and problem solved. 

My makep bag is not dirty with eyeliner everywhere and the brush is in perfect condition. 

Let's try it!

hopefully this helps to solve the eternal issue of the cap that always goes MIA 

any questions or suggestions on how you have used this tip?

let me know below
