Yo!
Happiest Friday to all of you!
Let me tell you five things, okay?
ONE // Q. U. E. E. N.
My friend Sarah mentioned Janelle Monáe to me awhile ago and for whatever reason I recently remembered that name and decided to look her up and I am basically obsessed with this song and this video. And I recognize that I might be completely behind on this whole thing, but SHE IS SO FREAKING COOL! Kind of like a male Bruno Mars, if you ask me. and Bruno Mars is seriously the coolest.
TWO // WEDDING DRESSES
NOT LIKE THAT. There are a handful of weddings on the horizon, and suddenly I am realizing that weddings are a really great reason to buy new dresses. and so I present to you…. Stephanie wants these dresses, part 1.
3/4 Sleeve Knit Dress // Waist Tie Dress // Jessica Dress //  LC Floral Popover Dress
Which one is your favorite? They’re all under $30, so they’re fairly inexpensive!
THREE // COFFEE SCRUBS
So y’all should know by now that I’m in love with coffee scrubs. I use them ALL THE TIME. So when I was given the opportunity to try out a professional coffee scrub, I was really excited! It was advertised as a coffee scrub, BUT I think it is more like a salt scrub. Salt! I never thought about putting SALT in my coffee scrubs. For whatever reason, that just seems a lot weirder than sugar. Anyway. It was too gritty for me – I think I could definitely use it on my knees or elbows occasionally, but I did NOT like it as an all over scrub. I guess I’ll just be sticking to my coffee scrub recipe.
FOUR // SUSANNAH!
If you remember, I wrote about my friend Susannah a few Fridays ago. WELL! She just got a whole rebrand on her blog and it looks SO GOOD! Â It COMPLETELY matches her, and I’m so excited to see what this new wind does for her blog! Go say hello and let her know what you think.
FIVE // PINWHEELS!
The other day I met my friend Gwen for coffee at this coffeeshop in downtown Vancouver called Boomerang (WHICH IS SO CUTE AND I CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I’M OFF WHOLE 30 TO GO BUY A COCONUT MOCHA FROM THERE) and as I was driving down main street, I noticed there were blue pinwheels ALL OVER the side of the street. I was like FREAKING OUT about them. Well it turns out they’re for Child Abuse Prevention month! It’s amazing how something that seems so small (pinwheels) can make a difference when put together and given purpose, you know?!
I received a product in this blog post in exchange for an honest review, but all opinions (as always) are my own.
I recognize that LC dress anywhere… I’ve been eyeing it myself. That’s my vote!
I want that popover dress on the right annnd I have a wedding to go to in June so I have an excuse…maybe we’ll end up having matching dresses! Also, PSA: you should try Driftwood Coffee some day if you’re ever in SW Portland/Beaverton area (it’s like a few blocks from where I live). They have COFFEE ICE CUBES! Also a honey lavender latte that is delish. And my favorite of all time is one of their specialty drinks that I can’t remember the name of for the life of me but I think it’s a white mocha with brown sugar syrup in it? Idk.
I met Janelle Monae once and wasn’t a big fan. I don’t know why, but she irked me a bit.
YOU’RE SO AWESOME AND THE BEST AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING MY REBRAND!!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3<3<3<3
