    What I’m loving / St Tropez Tanning Mousse

    I don’t know about you but for me having a tan makes me feel about a million times better (and like 10 lbs skinner!) This summer has already been so nuts that I haven’t had a lot of time to just go relax on the beach and work on my tan so I’ve enlisted the help a sunless self tanner. I’ve heard excellent things about all St Tropez products so I decided to give it a try. I was nervous to try it being a self tanner virgin and all but it was SO easy guys, really! I love the tanning mousse so much and having the tanning mitt was…

    The Sofa Struggle

    Lately Megan & I have been discussing redecorating our small apartment, but we get discouraged easily. Mostly because we don’t want to spend money and we can’t decide on the same furniture. Most recently we have been trying to figure out which sofa we want. Either a more expensive one that will last longer, or a cheaper one that will give instant gratification but won’t stand the test of time. The struggle is real. Tell us which one you like….

    Kitchen Floors / Before and After

    So, we all know that rental kitchens are gross. It’s usually old, nasty linoleum that was probably on clearance when they needed it so they just grabbed whatever was the cheapest, it has paint speckled all over it from one too many crappy cabinet paint jobs and has chips in it from who knows what. Our apartment is adorable, mostly. Great original hardwood floors, rounded ceilings, a darling faux fireplace, but the kitchen…..ohhh the kitchen. It needed some work. After over a year of living in this space and being grossed out by the kitchen floors on the daily we needed a change but obviously didn’t want to put new…

    I have been trying to dress a little better these days but it’s not easy living in Los Angeles. I mean we only have 3 days of cold weather so that doesn’t leave leave a lot of options. That doesn’t mean I can’t dress up in a more relaxed SoCal style.    Shirt – J. Crew Glasses – Tom Ford Belt – Club Monaco Jeans – Williamsburg Garment Wallet –  John Boultbee Boots- Timberland
