corn nails. corn. nails. corn nails.

the amazing marie got CORN NAILS! how amazing is that? reminds me that it is almost time for my annual watermelon pedicure (gotta wait until july 1st at least for full summer feel) and then that means it is also taco tote time!

saltwater sandals

i love my saltwaters! i got the navy ones worn in the photo. one note – they are supposed to be snug when you put them on to allow for stretching, which i didn’t know. so if you are ordering them online somewhere, think about sizing down.

this beat is automatic

actually it sounds a little pussycat dolls but i still love ciara. the crazy leg shake dance and wearing underpants in a desert construction zone? sure.

buffy vs edward

ok this is why i am...

subscribing to sunset magazine even though i do not live in the west and thinking about when i did live in the west makes me sad! (via thekitchn)

ahhhhhhhhhhh!

hectic and exciting times right now and in the coming week…easily explained with the following videos…




( trip to upstate new york)




(weekend in a real-life stars hollow)





(kicking it off with a night out at the rival to my own hometown bar, where these are sung along to on the jukebox… and that’s home you knowwww)




(wedded bliss for justin and kris)




(lots and lots of love… everyday is ice cream and chocolate cake)



sums it all up pretty well, actually.

snack attack

COCONUT M&M’s. sound gross but are actually FREAKING AMAZING. Hurry up and get some –limited edish.

if i had my way

in my annual summer obsession with 1991-era deadhead style (i call it the kyle ripka after a boy from high school who really mastered the look), i found this great set of photos on flickr that included some pictures of one of the last shows they played at soldier field. later in the day I looked for a youtube of samson & delilah just to listen and BOOM!

the first video that popped up is from the same show that the dude’s photos are from (i think). that’s probably not all that WHOA-worthy, but I whoa-d anyway.

glass to go cup

i recently asked my glassblower brother to make me a glass to go cup with a glass straw for iced coffee this summer - similar to this one at glassrootsmovement.org. so cool and such a good idea. everyone without a glassblower brother should order one!

i love chile limon snacks and really love chile limon cheetos. they aren't cheesy - just chile limon-y. i've only ever had/seen them in california so imagine my freakout when i saw them at the port richmond wawa. FREAKOUT. over cheetos. whatevs. best day ever. then imagine my utter sadness when i went back to the same wawa to pick some more up for "friends" and THEY WERE GONE! oh dios mio!!!!!! no! was it an illusion? were they ever even there at all? a dios le pido bring these amazing snacks to filadelfia!

i want to know but i don't

oh man. you can search this website for the beauty products that you use and see if they are harmful to you. my mineral foundation sunscreen stuff is a hazard rating of 3 out of 10. is that good? i want to know but i don't.
