Schrödinger + Mike: A True Sidekick Story
Anyone that knows me, and more importantly my best friend Mike, will appreciate this. Some time ago somewhere in Boulder, Colorado, Mike met the love of his life, his cat Schrödinger. Not since Karl Lagerfeld and Choupette have I seen a feline/human friendship quite as special or tale of two sidekicks quite like this. In this part cartoon, part interview story summed up in 3 minutes and two second, it’s probably the best thing you’ll watch all day.
GIVEAWAY: #PrettyGlamazon Scandal Beauty Products
ABC’s hit show Scandal wrapped last Thursday with some major cliff hangers! What is a girl to do with her Thursday nights now? Makeda from Glamazon Diaries and I invited 15 fashion and beauty bloggers to join us for a beauty night at the Carlton Hotel to tweet about hair, beauty and skincare products used on the show’s stars.
Prior to the event, we chatted with Scandal makeup head Denise Hooper to get the 411 on the products and how they’re used. Wondering how Olivia Pope gets her famous flip? BaBabyliss Pro – Nano Titanium Marcel Curling Iron of course! How do the Gladiators look so well rested despite putting out fires daily at Pope & Associates? With Skyn ICELAND Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels. Ten minutes does the trick.
Of course Olivia has to take the day off her Neutrogena Healthy Volume Mascara and Nourishing Eyeliner with her Neutrogena Makeup Remover Towelettes when she gets home before sipping on her vino. With the Lorac Pro Palette, Olivia and the gang can create day to night looks easily. The cast also get a boost in hydration with Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater and the Super Collagen Mask.

As you can imagine, it gets hot at Coachella (we’re talking highs of 100 degrees), so airy dresses are the complete way to go. I love this one from Bobi Los Angeles, it creates this perfect canvas to just go crazy on accessories! I went for some serious layering with necklaces and bracelets and I’m so in love with head crowns right now, I can’t even tell you!
My new Frends headphones also came in the mail right before I left for my trip — how dope are they?!?! I get such a kick out of the reactions I get to them, these are by far the most fun headphones I’ve ever owned.
I’m also debuting my Harkiss Leaf Look Brass Necklace, which is great on it’s own or as a layering piece. I’m new to Harkiss and this necklace was hand crafted in Africa using local polished brass. The company’s founder, Harriet Zaffoni, has made it her mission to create an atmosphere where East
African men and women can easily support themselves and their families through their skilled craftwork. All pieces in the collection use natural, sustainable, and locally sourced materials such as fabric woven from the kukui nut, cow horn and much more.
The Beauty Products Used on Scandal #PrettyGlamazonSCANDAL
#TeamFritz fans may have had a tough night last night at the finale of Scandal, but it was all sunshine at the Carlton hotel in NYC. Makeda from Glamazon Diaries and I hosted a fun soiree in honor of the big finale and hosted a twitter party where we gave away some of the products used on set (congratulations to our winners @jenniferzeno, @OhLaLaChrissy, and @NJBeachGrl!). We sipped our Tiziano wine all Olivia Pope Style, our friends at Davios did some delicious catering and we tweeted up the products from the set.
