I can’t believe it is already April! Whoa time flies! However, this past month I have been in love with a few things that I would like to share with you!

1. Bake From Scratch (the French issue) magazine that was filled with recipes of all my favorite French baked goodies such as palmiers, brioches… fun stuff! I also been loving making biscuits… yum!

2. Løv tea (linden+rose) that I stumbled upon in Whole Foods. It has bits of apples, linden, and rose. Very light and calming.

3. So last month I went blonde (again!!!) and have been loving the Blue Malva conditioner with a violet tint that refreshes the color and keeps it from going yellow! It smells really good too!

4. Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is the best! It protects the skin and gives a little tint that does not look like you have a layer of foundation! Nice and light!

5. Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche lipstick in Cayenne has been my favorite red lipstick! It stays on like a stain almost and has a citrusy taste 🙂

FRIDAY (a week ago) I was watching my favorite youtube channels (Evelina, IAMKARENO, Classisinternal, Mimi Ikonn, and Nikki DeRoest) and came across this awesome video about going blonde/pastel hair by IAMKARENO. Instantly, I was fired up with the idea of going blonde… and before I knew it – I was calling Zinke Knoebel Hair Studio to make an appointment. Now, when I have an idea – I want it now, I do not want to wait… I requested my hair stylist and the time she was available was at 6 pm that day… I called at 9 am. IT WAS THE LONGEST WAIT EVER! For the next 9 hours, I was bugging Frederick (my fiancé) with: “Should I do it?” and “Will it look good?” This was a big step for me as my wedding is coming up soon and I did not want to end up with fried hair or even worse- no hair… haha I mean that might have been fun too… lol
