Video: Christmas Sales Haul

Yay!

This is my second video on my youtube channel! I'm really, so proud of it and hope you all like watching the videos. I really enjoy hauls from other people and I think it's so much easier (and fun) to do these than take pictures of everything. So here it is!

Be Mine: A Playlist!

Happy Valentine's Day, love birds :)

(This playlist features Jack Johnson, Deftones, and some covers of classic love songs.)

Beauty Wishlist

I don't know about you, but the winter does a serious number on my skin. Especially when it's 50 degrees (F) one day and below freezing the next! (No wonder I have a ridiculously bad cold..) My hands, body and face have been getting so dry lately so I'm on the hunt for some amazing, moisturizing beauty products. The cool thing about the ones I've been coveting is, 2 out of 3 of them, give back!

Lush Charity Pot

The Charity Pot from Lush contains cocoa butter and almond oil, both of which are extremely moisturizing. The extra bonus is that all the money, except tax, goes to grassroots charities all over the world. 

Philosophy To Believe

Philosophy's WhyHunger To Believe Charity gel is triple duty, being a shampoo shower gel, and a bubble bath. I'm pretty particular about my hair products but as a shower gel and bubble bath, I'm down! It is cranberry and currant-scented and all profits go to the WhyHunger charity, to help end world hunger.

Lollia Shea Butter Hand Creme

This Lollia hand creme, in Breathe, is made of shea butter, macadamia nut oil, and Brazil nut oils, and is also infused with peony & white lily scents. The lotion is hydrating and sweet-floral scented, what more can you ask for in a hand lotion?

Tunes for Tuesday

This is a special day here on LLB! This probably won't be a regular feature but I needed to share this with anyone and everyone.


This is my best friend's newest original song and she is freakin' stellar. I can't even begin to say how talented she is. She deserves the world! Make sure to check out her youtube channel, also. Her voice is beyond.


And this little video is by my friend, Warren. He is the coolest, nerdiest, most selfless dude ever and deserves all the attention he's been getting and then some! If you like nerdy things, and especially superheroes, you need to watch this. And go listen to more on youtube!

This is no way sponsored, by any means. I just want my friends to know how amazed I am, by them. Love you guys!

Inspiration: Animalistic

Maybe its my constant search for the perfect leopard print shoe, but I'm feelin' the animalistic vibe lately.

Tell Me About It, Stud

flannel: Forever 21 (similar)
shorts: Forever 21 (love the blue ones too!)
tights: Target
shoes: Candies via Kohls (similar - in leather)
necklace: blown glass from Italy!
lips: Mirabella : Caught Red-Handed

Valentine's Day has brought out the sex kitten, pin-up girl in me. I've always loved the pin-up style so I put my own little spin on it with these high-waisted, studded shorts, that I'm literally in love with. I stuck with typical V-day colors, and also added my little heart necklace that some lovely friends brought me when they took a trip to Italy. An amazing present from an amazing part of the world. (I've never even been out of the country!) This was one of my favorite looks to date and now I might just have to find a reason to go out on Valentine's Day. Cause honestly, I felt shamelessly hot.

Things I Love Thrusday

Get a coffee, people. This one's a doozy. (And apparently I have a thing for black & white photography this week..)

How freakin glam-azing is this?

I would wear this shirt constantly.

This is true.

This is controversial. And I love it.

I love this quote.

If this doesn't make you happy, I don't know what will.

I'm in love with this artist, Jessica Durrant.

I love this more than words.

This Valentine's Day card is so cute (and sexy).

How unbelievably gorgeous is this photo?!

Henry and I both want this for our living room!

Ever thought about this? Too funny.

I'm doing this to Todd on V-day. There's no questioning it.
