I mean you can go into my cabinet and find 10 jars of this AMAZING product, Unicorn Snot. I mean when do you not need body/face glitter? It is necessary from burning man to halloween as a unicorn or Angel from X Men (see picture below). Finally a fun product for all your sparkle unicorn fantasy needs. It doesn't clog up your skin, doesn't fall off easily (no moop at burning man), comes in so many colors(I suggest the starter pack) washes off easy, AND its vegan and CRUELTY FREE! What more could you ask?! But seriously... try this product. #Unicorn Life
Top 5 ON BRAND Met Gala 2017 Looks
THEME: Comme des Garçons (For all you celebs who clearly didn't know)
Let me start by SAYING these were picked by who was most ON BRAND/ ON THEME, not by who looked the "prettiest" (cus we get it JLO, "so you agree, you think you're really pretty"). I think people are forgetting that this event is all about sticking to the theme and not looking like you are on your way to just another award show. This is all about honoring the theme, so here we go...
#5 Dakota Johnson: Even though I absolutely love her, she usually does not pull out a lewk that doesn't totally make me wanna gag but this time she is giving me all the feels. I love the drama and origami madness this piece delivers, just like Comme des Garçons. She must be rocking with Lena Dunham's hair and makeup team because girl can never get that right.
#4 Cassie: This girls career might be as irrelevant as Rita Ora but she can definitely turn out a look. Cassie is killing it with this stunning origami shocker moment, with Diddy giving you the pose of a lifetime in the background. GET IT!
#3 Gigi Hadid: OKAY GIGI, I see what you're doing here.... I am loving this look from head to toe! The leg reminds me a bit of the leg lamp from A Christmas Story but she is still giving me #LIFE. Talk about someone that knows how to have wind in her hair and be sexy yet very sensual without being trashy!
#2 Priyanka Chobin: Whoever Priyanka's stylist is, deserves an award and every idiot on that red carpet should hire them because she has been killing it on the red carpet this year. Yes, this is totally giving me Carmen San Diego vibes but that kinda why its killer. The drama of the long train on this rain jacket with the off the shoulder and huge collar make this, for sure, one of my top 2!
Honorable Mention, Best Male Look of the Night: Nick Jonas looking sexy as hell with a daring print. (Hey there ;))
#1 RIHANNA: My girl Ri Ri is my WINNER because she DELIVERED. Only flaw I saw were those lace up heels but... I get it. Yes, some can say she cheated by wearing the actual designer but whatever she nailed it. Not everyone can pull this off and that makeup/hair/jewelry combo with this outfit are KILLER! Ri Ri wins in my book. (SNAPS especially to the makeup artist, #FLAWLESS!)
FINE, I will give Katy Perry a mention because this was totally a look that was perfectly on theme BUT I am finding her to take the throne where Lady Gaga's annoyingness left off before I found love in my heart for her again. This look was absolutely FASHION but then again... it's Katy Purry...
Top 3 Best Dressed
#Oscars2017 Have to say these are my top three! The more and more I look at Hailee's look, the more I just am drop dead in love with it. Not to mention, her hair and makeup are ON POINT. I typically hate Jessica Biel but girl got it this time. And FINALLY Tiraji was able to pull it together and look absolutely stunning.
OARS+ALPS
Trying to keep my body natural and healthy and the best place to start is to make sure I'm not the smelly kid. Bye bye stank a** and hello to Oars+Alps ALL NATURAL Deodorant. Since I have such sensitive skin, this is the perfect deodorant(plus no pit stains YAY!).

Skin Laundry Revives Your Winter Dry Skin
With all the holiday parties coming up I knew I couldn't show my face with all the wear and tear from the cold winter. So, I decided to check out a new facial I had heard all about, Skin Laundry's Laser and Light Facial. The Laser and Light facial was everything I could hope for; quick, easy, painless, and left my skin feeling super clean. Not only was the staff super friendly and the place was gorgeous, in all white(who doesn't love all white), but I left with clean skin within 10 minutes! I couldn't help myself, I also invested in a hydrating radiance facial mask which made me look a little like a younger Hannibal Lector. The mask helped add any hydration that was lost in the facial and now I feel clean AF. Check it out, first times free!
KENZO x H&M Collabor-hate-tion
Okay, lets address the GIANT neon elephant in the room... this collection. KENZO is collaborating with H&M and I get it, the loud hip hop fashion is, in some deranged peoples minds, #trending... but come on now.
This literally looks like a child got a hold of neon markers in their house and decided to draw all over the walls until their parents got home. It's some sick mix of a neon jungle and the circus and its just TOO much. I get it, we want to try to change up the typical seasonal choices...
And they were trying to be groundbreaking because they were scared Miranda Priestly would purse her lips or I don't know say something about fall fashion similar to...
...but clearly they went a little overboard. If you thought Halloween was over, we must have been wrong because you still have a chance with this collection to pull off a Sia (tiger themed) bow or even have the chance to dress just like a modern day Oscar the Grouch... how trendy...
Fine, I will give it to them that some of these pieces are tolerable if you were to use them as separates with basic colors that don't scream TAKE ME HOME I'M DRUNK... on a safari. The first piece in the pictures below is actually beautiful, but is it season appropriate? I don't know, just because a high fashion designer decides to collaborate with you, doesn't mean it will always work (*cough* Versace *cough*)
But come on when is TOO MUCH!? I think we have finally hit the point where hopefully mixed fabrics, bright colors and taking the bad parts of 90's fashion will finally start reversing back. In fashion they always say people take it to the extremes and then once its gone too far it starts the cycle over. Please GOD let this cycle be over NOW! I am so tired of people thinking over the top is so cool and trendy. What ever happened to looking chic AF? But to KENZO and H&M...
American Apparel Files for Bankruptcy for a SECOND Time!
American Apparel files for bankruptcy for a second time in two years... do I really have to ask if were surprised? I mean nowadays if you want something plain and simple, you can run to h&m and get it for 1/6th of the price of what American Apparel is charging. At this point, what do they have to offer besides plain shirts, underwear, and leotards in different colors? What makes them at all special? They don't have great fit or great design so #SorryImNotSorry, BYE American Apparel.
Personally Victimized by Gucci
Raise your hand if you’ve ever felt personally victimized by Gucci’s new loafers...
A friend reached out for some fashion advice, as most of my closest friends do, by sending a betchy group text with an image of these loafers. These aren’t just any loafers but a $1,000 pair of Gucci loafers lined with tacky fur around the edges. Can’t picture it? Don’t worry, I have a picture of them for you but be prepared for a confusing combo of a high class shoe and a beast from “Where the Wild Things Are”:
She did clarify by saying “Not with the fur”, which I responded with “Thank god you said without the fur but either way, NO! Unless you’re a cobbler.” I’m sorry but friends should be there to give real advice and I had to be honest with her and let her know “that was the ugliest f-ing skirt I had ever seen.” Her response to me was “But they’re Gucci you Bitch”, to which I swiftly responded with:
I’m not trying to be mean but I feel like if you are going to make such an expensive purchase, it better be something cute that sticks out for all the right reasons. It’s like they are some sad combination of a slipper and a loafer that got thrown in a blender of tears and mistakes. I will give it to her that they are not as bad without the fur and she of course can pull off anything including these hideous cobbler shoes, so she has that going for her! But she decided not to take my advice and made a true betch move and bought them anyway.
So, let’s talk about the actual shoe, I think there should be a distinct difference in a shoe vs. a slipper and I thought that Gucci would at least understand that. But does anyone remember in the late 90s early 2000s when Birkenstock had something very similar but obvi ten times more heinous.
Do we really want to rehash that $165 mistake we made then and now pay close to $1,000 for a shoe you will probably get tired of after one wear and will result in a lot of people pointing and laughing at you? I don’t think so! Let’s also think practically here, if they are in fact a fall/winter shoe, don’t you think the fake fur lining will get ruined after one wear. Even in the Gucci ad’s they show stomping around in them in New York City. I know how my shoes fair in the city and those shoes would need to be thrown out after one wear. And if you do decide to buy them, tip #1: Do not, no matter how much you think they’re “cute”, TRY WEARING THEM TO A BAR. These shoes will stick to the floor and you will be doing your walk of shame barefoot and throwing $1,000 down the drain.
So my advice to you, with all the cute shoes in the world, stay away from these scary cobbler shoes! Unless you’re dressing as the Keebler Elf for Halloween, then go for it girl! Get your Keebler on Betch! But be warned, you may not get the response you were hoping for.
