Towels are one of those items in which you don’t think about what you want until you have to really freakin’ figure out what you want and then you wonder: do I want soft towels? Light towels? Big towels? Small towels? Absorbent? Am I going to lounge in them? It’s exhausting. In my new fabulous…
After all that research on what backpack to bring backpacking as an adult, I went rogue and backed the Briidgs ($150) on Kickstarter (where it was $90), which arrived—as promised—one day before my trip. I love it. Here’s why I picked it: Size: starts at 30L, can expand to 39L Straps/function: can be carried as a…
6 players. My midget-y eyelashes. Former beauty editor alert! Since Paula’s Choice discontinued Fantastic Lash, I’m left sans go-to mascara, as I don’t care for their replacement. So the Great Mascara Quest of 2017 began, aided by Sephora’s Lashstash to Go box, which features five deluxe mascaras in black—and a voucher to come back and…

Or, the most amount of selfies I’ve ever taken. The logo tank is the new logo tee, and I have bought (literally) whole-heartedly into this trend. I have roughly 354 tank tops bearing the names of CrossFit gyms, yoga studios, competitions my roommate competed in, etc. that I wear routinely to the gym, to yoga,…
As we all know, I’m on a constant quest to find comfy shorts that photograph well for playing beach football. These are my current faves, but there’s a new short in town. GRACEDBYGRIT is a new company that just launched late last year, but already has tons of celeb fans—so like a good little faux…
“There is not enough wine for this movie,” I say to my friend, nestled into an exceptionally comfy lounge chair next to me at a luxury theater in Laguna Niguel called Cinepolis. We’ve already sampled EL James’ 50 Shades of Grey red wine, which is $15 a glass or $55 a bottle and not worth it,…
Look, I know every so often I get all excited about a beauty product and proclaim, “this is IT!” But, y’all, this is IT.* Magic cream. With a funny name. I’m pretty sure I bought it mainly because it’s funny that it’s called Africa’s Secret and I love all the dirty hippie ingredients in it,…
Look, I love to shop. But there’s a bit of an ethical dilemma—buying a $4 necklace at Forever 21 gives me the rush of shopping, something new to wear, something to not care about if it breaks, and lots of cheap jewelry taking up space on my wall. Buying a $4 necklace at Forever 21…
