July Favorites

It's been a while since I've done one of these! I don't know how some people have new favorites like every single month! It's taken me forever to get these few items. Anyways, let's jump straight to it! 

Argan Oil of Morocco conditioner 

Holy chessus, this conditioner smells freaking amazing. I don't know what it is, but it has a very clean floral scent that I am crazy for. Not only does it smell great, it makes my hair feel incredible! Now, I'm not one to splurge on shampoo and conditioner cause I feel like my regular ones get the job done, but this- I'm willing to splurge. It definitely made a difference in my hair! It's like silky and smooth.

Bumble and bumble Invisible oil

I recently went to go get my hair cut by the lovely people over at Carlton Hair and as usual, I left the salon with less hair, less money and a hair product they recommended. Last time it was the bumble and bumble dry spun, now it's the invisible oil. Usually my hair gets tangly and a bit dry from the heat of my curling iron so this invisible oil is like a genie in a bottle. This oil helps detangle hair- ya! For reals! AND it's a heat protectant.. at least that's what my stylist told me. It's great because I can just spritz this in my wet hair and it does all the work for me. I am loving this product! 

Warby Parker Glasses

I've been seeing commercials and sponsors from this company all over the place so I decided to give them a try. First I tried their free 5 day trial pairs where you can pick 5 different styles and try them on at home to see which one suits your style. I'm pretty picky about my glasses because I always feel like such a huge dork in them, but I finally found a pair that I really like! I'm still super self cautious when I wear glasses, but with these.. not as a much! 

Pantene Dry Shampoo

I've been on the search for something to replace my dove dry shampoo because I hate the smell of it. I finally found what I've been looking for! The dry shampoo from Pantene smells incredible and it also makes my second day hair look fresh. It also gives me a ton of volume and bounce. I totally bought this on a whim and I'm so glad it worked out. 

Bath and Body works Honeysuckle Bouquet 

Honeysuckle is my absolute favorite scent. Anything with honeysuckle, I LOVE- so when one of my friends got this candle for me as a graduation gift, I pretty much squealed. I already had the mini one, and getting the larger one was just icing. I've been burning it almost every night! 

I feel like I talked a lot about scents and smells in this post! Sorry, not sorry. Until next time!

"Impossibility is just a kiss away from reality"- Sense8

So.. after binge watching for 2 days, I have finished season one of Sense8! HOLY BOLOGNA. If you don't know what sense8 is, sense8 is a new Netflix Original series that just recently came out around June/July. It's about 8 different people who are all connected to one another. It's a bit complicated to explain so I suggest watching the trailer.

I find the idea of human transcendence so intriguing -it breaks down that wall in us about being alone and definitely hooks me. Although it was a slow start, the show really got better after episode 5. The first few episodes were a little big confusing due to getting to know all the characters and understanding their stories but once you see more of their story, it makes you feel connected to them.

If you're uncomfortable about nudity and sexuality, this show is not your cup of tea. This show really doesn't leave much to imagination. Some parts are violent, but some parts are incredibly sweet and moving. This show covers issues about pride, sexuality, religion, duty, friendship- it's well rounded. It hits all the notes. They also film in 8 different cities, it's crazy beautiful.

My favorite part of this show has to be how the characters understand each other. Despite them living completely different lives, they go through the same emotions and find strength in one another. They help each other in times of need and I think all of us wishes that would happen in real life. To see it on screen makes my heart burst and squeal.

No news whether or not Netflix is going to make a season 2 but I'm crossing my fingers and toes hoping that they do! They have to feed my need to see the sensate all together and kicking ass!! Definitely worth checking out!

The Many types of Hang outs

I hate that the word "hang out" has multiple hidden meanings! You ever notice that? Whenever someone sends me a text that goes "hey, wanna hang out?" I always get nervous because I never really know what kind of hangout it'll be!

For example, it could be …

The "how are you? let me tell you how wonderful I'm doing" hangout 
Basically | discuss how wonderful their life is going and how yours is totally insignificant. You gotta support me and tell me I'm awesome.

The "let's see how fun you are" hangout
Basically | Dinner. Drinks! Are you down? You willing to do some crazy shit or are you lame?!

The "emotional support" hangout
Basically | I need to vent and get some advice. This might take at least 2-4 hours.

The "I need some time to kill" hangout 
Basically | I gotta do something later, but I have this awkward time gap -so let's see each other for a while then I need to go and you can't come.

The "fashion consultant" hangout
Basically | Need someone to tell me if this looks good on me or not. Also I don't want to be seen buying this by myself.

The "TELL ME EVERYTHING" hangout 
Basically | We haven't spoken in a while but by the looks of it on Instagram, Snapchat and Twitter- you're living a fabulous life! I'm jealous and I want to hear all about it!

The "birthday" hangout
Basically | Either I missed or will miss your birthday ( or any other event really), so let me make it up to you by buying you lunch/dinner.

The "I want to try out this restaurant" hangout
Basically | Never went there before. Let's try a bunch of stuff on the menu! Bye bye money!


See what I mean? SO MANY TYPES OF HANG OUTS! I'm sure there are dozen more that I didn't list. What's a girl to do?! I always gotta prepare myself for all these types of scenarios!

I love my friends, but most of the time I really just wanna say ..
