I Enjoy Drinking Weird Crap


 The first let's say 'non-traditional' thing I drink is Kombucha. It's supposed to deliver antioxidants, probiotics, and help your body rid itself of toxins. Hell if I know. It has gunky stuff in the bottom (or sometimes Chia seeds, yay!) and kind of tastes vinegary. Are you sold yet? Thought so. I usually drink the 'enlightened' version, because the original has .5% alcohol in it, and sometimes when you're driving or whatever it's not COMPLETELY appropriate to be drinking alch' tea. Remember when Lindsay Lohan said her alcohol ankle monitor went off because she drank tea? The original Kombucha was the alleged offender. It's as badass as a tea can be.


I also drink more traditional (kind of) teas. I love Guayaki Yerba Mate teas. It kind of tastes like leaves in hot water, but who doesn't like that? It's made from the leaves (See? Leaves!) of a South American tree, and gives you energy and focus. It one of those ancient-type deals. Fun, right? 

Similarly, Tulsi is an ancient Indian plant known as Holy Basil that is used to energize and calm (???). I don't know how that's possible, but don't you guys feel worldly right now?

I also like random flavorings of more traditional teas. Coconut Chai black tea? It's gurrrd, you guys!


The last thing I like to drink you might have heard of. FRS is endorsed by a lot of athletes, including Lance Armstrong. It's main ingredient is Quercitin, which is found in blueberries and red onions and such. Listen, I don't know how it works but it doesn't have a lot of caffeine (about as much as 1/4 cup of coffee) but it gives me crazy energy, but not cracky energy. I like to drink this before I workout. It's the bizz-nass. You can read about the science behind it on the FRS website.

I also eat some crazy stuff, but I'll save that for another day. Do you guys drink any cray cray drinks? Am I missing out on something that I need to add to my insane lineup?

I'm Cheap Part 239084390: My Fave Under $20 Finds

I'm cheap, but I like to shop. We know this. Here are some of my favorite items that I have gotten over the past month or so that all rang up for under $20.


I love the drama of a faux fur. And no cute little shmanimals are harmed. Yay! I scored this faux fur vest for $12 thrift.


Speaking of drama, is there anything more dramatic than a cape? Nope, and I want to Sherlock Holmes it up as much a possible. And I got this baby for $20 on sale at Marshall's, thankyouverymuch!


I love stripes. This H&M skirt is super cute layered with tights, socks, boots, the whole shebang and it was FIVE DOLLARS!!!


Lastly, I got this sweet Badgley Mishka belt for $8 thrift. Real leather, and really versatile!

Have you guys scored any good deals lately? What's your favorite way to shop on the cheap?

A Hot Old B Finishes Out True Blood's Hotness Trifecta!


It has been confirmed, via TV Line that Chris Meloni (Detective Stabler 4 EVA!) will be joining True Blood as an ancient vampire. Um, yes and thank you! Are you not convinced? Then perhaps watch this 4 and a half minute video of his apparent hotness while Salt n' Pepa's 'Shoop' plays. This ish is pretty, pretty creepy.



Congratulations to True Blood's producer Alan Ball. He has now covered all of our hot bases. Sexual old dude? Check (Chris Meloni). Super sexual Nordic blonde b? Check (Duh, Eric). Super duper sexual dark and manly man? Check and check (Alcideeeeee!). Sorry, Bill. You didn't make the hot list. You may sit down.

Can we Timeshare This or Something?


Holly Golightly's townhouse made famous by Breakfast at Tiffany's is for sale for almost $6 million. Anyone want to go one-millionth-sies with me? You can check out more pictures of the place, which was previously owned by some muckety muck banker dude that was collared for insider trading, over at Curbed.

Sweater: Karlie, find retailer here
Jeans: Blank Denim, Similar here
Boots: Old Navy, buy here
Bracelet: Target headband from circa 2004
Necklace: By boe, similar here

I had to cut my head off. I didn't have makeup on yet, and it was tragic. That's Wiggy in the background, with a cameo by a few ghosts in the form of light orbs. Yay?

This is what I wore to a local farmers' market. Because, yes, every day is an opportunity to wear something that skews at least slightly into costume territory. Pin It
