I love a lazy Sunday where you're able to kick back and just enjoy being at home. It's even better when you can do this on a super chilly or rainy day. I always have hummus, crackers and wine which can become an instant way to relax while working online, reading or whatever it is that you're up to. Earlier this summer, I was able to try Yuca Crackers. Although I tried various recipes, I have to say that this organic gluten free cracker is best enjoyed with hummus. When it comes to hummus, I love Sabra - you can't go wrong with any of their flavors. Even when you're alone, you can enjoy a nice glass of wine and there's no reason to save your favorite glasses until you have company, I love the Mara glass from Crate and Barrel. The coasters are a great way to keep track of whose glass is whose or if you and your boyfriend are enjoying it, you can have your own wine tasting. These coasters have chalk that comes with the set so whether you're writing your name, the vineyard or kind of wine - it's easily identified. Make Sun special before you head back into a crazy week!
We've all hit the gym, been out in the sun or had a night out at the bars. All of these produce some kind of a glow that makes you look like your full of life; however, how about something that not only creates the glow, but is also easily obtained and good for your body? Glowelle, is a dietary supplement (from Nestle gasp)that you can ingest in your water or favorite juice so that you have that glow and plenty of antioxidants which are essential! I took the 30 day challenge and am currently still in it! My 30 day pack is in a cute box and is Raspberry/Jasmine (also comes in Pomegranate/Lychee) flavored. I found that pairing this with one of the larger SmartWater bottles was perfect as there is a lot of powder within each pouch (some people also split the packet if they feel it is too much). If you feel that you taste too much of the vitamin or flavor, consider putting this in with apple juice, cranberry, etc.
Whether you get the 30 day pack or you try out the 7 day pack, you'll find that drinking this assists in protecting the skin from the sun rays (not to say that you shouldn't have your SPF handy; however, it does reduce it. You'll replenish your antioxidants and also you'll have an even skin tone which gives it that healthy glow and lets you know that you're giving off your best look! I love that you can enjoy this in a pre-made or you can grab your favorite water and put it in n the go. Each sip is packed various vitamins which ensures you're getting your daily intake while also being very convenient! For those who are ready to jump in with Glowelle, you can enjoy the 30 day pack for $112 which comes out to taking vitamins for under $4 dollars a day! That's basically deciding that you'll have one less latte a day to put back into your health! Since when has caffeine given you a healthy glow that make up couldn't do for you naturally? I will continue to let you know about Glowelle as I continue to take more of the packets.
I also want you to know that we will have a series about fitness for your body and also beauty regimine that you guys will want to tune into as well! Make sure to read here and on Kitten Lounge's Fan Page on Facebook to find out about exclusive giveaways!
I don't care that we have some amazing days and then a few crappy rains that hit us! We have to bring the sunshine with us everyday no matter what's going on seasonally or in life in general. With that said, I had to turn to some inspiration as I'm in desparate need to find a great summer bag and of course, I have to start with Jimmy Choo to decide how I will focus my wardrobe around it. I am in love with the Saba Suede Handbag in Sun! I love the African bangle which definitely adds an interesting twist to this piece while also being the perfect item to wear on your wrist. How easy it is to throw some items in here before running off to brunch, to visit a friend or (dare I say) go to work? This looks amazing with jeans and flouncy skirts and is definitely something that I wouldn't mind adding to my collection. Of course you're bound to find what you're looking for by visiting Jimmy Choo for inspiration and great pieces
Sometimes when I need to get away for a day or a few hours and I'm, in between things, I take out my laptop and commit to not working but just seeing what's out there. It's an interesting battle that I have. When I have technology in my hands, it tends to be that I am working on promoting my jewelry, sites, etc. I'm always finding time to communicate with people but it's in between working. This is why I have my temporary moments when I take some time away.
When I do, I love really looking at sites that I may see all the time but may not be able to emerse myself into due to multi-tasking. Coutorture is one that I love taking a break with and there is an amazing photoshoot that they created and that my friend and Coutorture Community Manager, Sarah Conley, did the make up for.
The Sun Doesn't Care is such a fun series due to its use of color and because I am a fan of accessories, I love how they pop out and really are a dominant focal point. I was unaware of Deka Ray but now I am totally hooked and if you have seen me in my jewelry, you know that I love pieces that definitely draw your eye right to them! Even my own collection, Kitten Couture, has a way of grabbing your attention or at least creating chatter! This is my favorite image as I love purple and how it pops out. Of course there are other pictures so check out their original photoshoot and my friend's work as well! Finally, if you want more Deka Ray, she is in today's post on sister blog, See Pretty Things
This weekend is going to be hot and when it's hot - you have to get nibbles and beverages! Think back to previous weekends - maybe you grabbed icecream in the park, had brunch at an outdoor cafe or you enjoyed a back patio with friends. You have to change it up a bit by making sure you head out to the Big Apple BBQ sponsored by Snapple this weekend! I am so excited as The Kitten Lounge will be attending this event! I can't wait to tell you guys some of the hottest places in the city to enjoy BBQ and what cities are definitely bringing it too! Now if you want more than BBQ, you will enjoy yummie sides, dessert and beer! In addition to hanging out in Madison Park with tons of people that will be your jolly new friends, there will be live music and seminars. When you check in this weekend on the Kitten Lounge, I will bring you recaps of what you can enjoy as I will be there on Sat and Sun will have closing thoughts on this 10th annual event. In addition, my Flip will be coming with me as well. To check out the schedule and to see what works for you, make sure you visit their snazzy site! If you were fortunate enough to get your Fast Pass - congrats, I can't wait to try all the amazing items. If not, everything is reasonably priced and waiting - come on an empty stomach and remember to drinks lots of fluids! The inconsistent weather of this week will be worth it to enjoy the sun and heat of the weekend.
So the concept of LAGOON is a favorite of mine because it incorporates obviously blues and greens but also being able to enjoy the sun and all that comes with that. I love this outfit that came from the runways of Michael Kors (which you know I am a huge fan of his sense of great classic American style) and is apart of a collection of images from Coutorture. I love the bold color and the concept of the sun kissed island babe. You know with Michael he incorporate this goddess tone into everything that he presents! Even this silver girl gets sucked into his love for gold and bronze!
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
