Happy Monday
It's overcast and rainy in Los Angeles today and even though I love this cozy weather, I think it makes some people a little grumpy...especially on a Monday morning...even more so on the Monday morning after Cinco de Mayo!! Here's a little friendly reminder to be kind, even when you don't feel like it.

Apartment Therapy Tips: Flea Markets
I'm beyond excited to say I have finally been hired permanently at my company after working as a temp for almost two years. With my new position comes a 45 minute commute which I am more than happy to take on in exchange for better pay, benefits, and a 401k. However, I do plan on moving much closer after I have a few paychecks under my belt. Is it odd that I'm more concerned about designing and furnishing my future new apartment than actually finding said apartment? I think not!
I do plan on finding and repurposing as much as I can from my local flea markets. This can be a challenge for a novice such as myself. My flea market finds have been pretty simple and decor related thus far. Apartment Therapy to the rescue! Here are their 9 Smart Shopping Tips for Flea Marketing and their 2013 Flea Market Guide.
Let the thrifting begin!!

Pretty Party!
Some perks of my moonlighting job as a freelance writer include events on Rodeo Drive. What's even better is being able to bring my sister along! We recently attended a little soiree at Lashfully, a beauty bar that specializes in customizable eyelash extensions. The event included a set of eyelash extensions which I LOVED and a makeover by DuWop Cosmetics. Remember Lip Venom? That's them! Their makeup rocks too!
