Star Sighting: Mario Lopez!

Shing & I went to Universal Studios a few weeks ago and saw Mario Lopez live while taping an episode of EXTRA! Let me just say that he looks as beautiful in real life as he does on television. *total fan crush moment*

 

We went on the new Minion Mayhem ride & were thoroughly disappointed. I feel like the ride was totally overhyped and after getting off the ride, Shing & I were pretty sad campers.  The upside was that we watched the Water World show for the very first time & it was loads of fun -- if you guys have never seen that show, you must check it out!  I'm lucky that Shing covered me while the "pirates" were blasting us with water guns!

Have you ever been to Universal Studios? If so, what is your favorite ride at Universal?

I'm Cheating on my Chloe . .

My current favorite perfume is Tory Burch's new fragrance.  I don't know what I love more - the beautiful, lightweight floral scent with a tangy top note or the gorgeous packaging - honestly, how amazing is this packaging, you guys?! I am obsessed with the gold (I'm actually obsessed with all things gold), the laser-cut cap and just the overall design of her line.  The entire collection is so beautiful that I might just pick up a few items for the sake of having something pretty in my bag!

Have you ever purchased an item just because the packaging was cute? Comment below!

Quick Trip to San Diego

Shing & I took a quick overnight trip to San Diego a while back ... it was a much needed getaway that involved a lot of shopping & eating -- perfect in my book, if you ask me!

Our delicious breakfast which composed of an omelette, acai bowl, breakfast sandwich, fruit & lattes!  We needed to fuel up before our shopping adventure at Fashion Valley ;-)

Right before we had a feast at Crab Hut!

Toby's First Sleepover

 Toby had his first sleepover at my sister's new apartment recently! He was so excited for his new squeaky toy that he played with it for hours & even fell asleep on top of it! My parents were devastated without Toby making noise & causing trouble at our house.  My mom even called my sister at 12:30am to ask what they were up to! 

Poor baby is finally tired in this photo <3

Hiking in Pasadena

Hi Loves! 

Wow, it's been a while since I've last posted but rest assured that I haven't forgotten about you!  I have several posts that I need to publish so they will be up shortly :).  I wanted to post this collage from the morning that my girlfriend Steph & I went hiking.  You're probably thinking - where are the pics from the view at the top? Well....... Long story short, I was a pansy and made it only halfway :X so I had a brilliant idea to go grab some acai bowls and waffles instead!  We ended up at Sidewalk Cafe, which was just a mile or two down from our hike and shared a delicious acai bowl + waffles!  Now that's my idea of the perfect end to a hike (although I'm sure the view from the top would have been beautiful as well ... ) ! 

PS. How amazing are Steph's brows!? 

Obsessed! with MAC Soft Savour

You guys! I'm totally obsessed with this soft nudish-pink color - it's perfect for day and night and works great on my brides.  I saw this dupe list on Pinterest from Temptalia and wanted to share!  It's the perfect nude-y color for someone who doesn't want to go too nude - if you haven't tried this yet, I'd highly recommend it!  It can't be bought as a stand-alone item though, so if you want this bad boy, you're going to have to purchase the "All About Nude" goodie box from MAC!

Ann & Bryan's Wedding

It is always great to see the finished photos of a wedding that I've done makeup services for.  Ann & her group of bridesmaids + mother-in-law were an awesome bunch to work with!
