Health knowledge made personal
 {worked for me!}I found an awesome little layering dress/tunic, a purse (which i wore later that night), and this adorable cozy sweater:  {oh, the flowy sleeves, i die.} I also left behind this adorable set of dishes, and I'm feeling much regret about that decision right about now.  And then because I get lost easily, and LA traffic is obnoxious, we left with a whole lot of time (we thought) to spare for the Blushington event. { Blushington is a new beauty bar, where you can get full makeup applied for $35, and other goodies such as eyelash extensions or face waxing. They're next door to the Dry Bar , so the idea is to be able to get your hair done, then scoot next door to get makeup applied. For a special event, you could be looking fabulous for under $100, WITH TIP.} And then... we got lost. Twice-ish. And arrived just barely in time for it to start.  {the beautifully sweet hostess and blogger Laura * me} {we were treated to complimentary makeovers & champagne} {i was kind of in love with the look of the bathroom. no, i didn't poop in it.}  {all smiles after deep talks with marisa & morgan )  {never have i loved a group of girls more than them. fashionista's with a love for jesus.}{ Alli * Emily * Daniela * me}  {all bloggers were treated to this la mer watch & sanuk shoes as our swag, loved!} And because Marisa and I are moms and a night out is rare, we literally stayed until they shut off the music and the makeup artists went into hiding. As we reluctantly started to drive down Sunset towards the 101, we couldn't help but feel it just wasn't our time to leave. And then we drove by Saddle Ranch and we knew why.  {contemplating the free birthday bull ride offer} A s'mores nightcap was calling our name... {and silders, and cotton candy, but NO BULL RIDES} I also had to snap a few last minute pictures before we left.   {my thrifted purse from earlier in the day}It was such a fun day spent with amazing friends (old and new), and I loved that Marisa was able to feel special all day long. And then because I'm getting older, I spent the entire next day napping and doing a whole lot of nothing because being social ALL DAY LONG can really take a lot out of a girl. what i'm wearing butterfly sequin top: found at a thrift store in colorado, $7 Okay, here's the CRAZY thing about this shirt. I ran into TWO women at two different places who asked me about my top, because they had one similar in different colors. When I told them it was thrifted, they laughed, because that's how they had found theirs too, and they were dying to know where it originally had come from! It's now the mystery of the butterfly shirt. {coming to theatre near you.} Where did they come from? How are people wearing them? And most importantly, why are people getting rid of them? leggings: tj maxx $7 boots: tj maxx $25 bracelet: twisted silver (a gift) ring: f21 feather earrings: found on clearance at a boutique in texas ~~~~~~~ A huge thank you to Laura & Blushington for hosting this incredible night. © 2012 "Le Musings of Moi" |

It was one of my best friends birthday's and I got to steal her away for an entire day and have her ALL to myself.
That hasn't happened with her since, um, my bachelorette party.
And both times, just so happened to be in LA.
And because babies and life and schedules have kept us busy, the drive up this time literally felt like five minutes, because we had so much to catch up on.
Except for maybe the 30 minutes I spent lamenting OUT LOUD that maybe I needed to stop and poop...
Okay, wait, no....I'm better now.
No! Wait....I think I need to go.
Nope....it's gone.
Ya, that whole thing?
Felt a lot longer than 30 minutes.
Remind me to never make a drive on a time limit during my regular scheduled morning poop.
{crisis adverted}
Once we arrived, we were treated to an incredible lunch with my co- Mommaloguer (who's now a retired mommaloguer) and friend, Candace .
We ate at Gjelina , and when Candace ordered cauliflower, I was utterly confused.
It must be a Hollywood thing, I thought....and considered ordering it too, because my PIZZA probably needed a Hollywood vegetable alongside it.
But, since I needed to save room and calories for dessert, I opted to share hers instead.
And......Oh MA Word!!!
It was the most amazing Cauliflower ever.
I mean, EVER.
So amazing, that I just capitalized it.
I told her, it would always be remembered as the day that I fell in love with Cauliflower.
In other news, as we were eating, Chloe Sevigny came and sat at the table beside us.
But you want to hear more about the Cauliflower I'm sure.
{btw, do you say: call-uh-flower or call-ee-flower?}
