Yellow Lounge US Launch

Recently I had the opportunity to attend the United States launch of Yellow Lounge. Yellow Lounge was launched in Berlin seven years ago- it is a series of performance events bringing together the best and brightest of contemporary Classical music in urban spaces. The New York City Yellow Lounge kicked off the U.S series right with an amazing evening full of wonderful classical performances by Grammy-award winning artists.
It was such a well-put-together, entertaining evening. The hightlight was, of course, the performances by the likes of Mandolinist Avi Avital, and Violinist Nicola Benedetti. However, there were so many other little bits and pieces that made the evening special. There was a photo booth where you could snap a little keepsake for the evening, and a flipbook booth where a short video of you and your friends was turned into a paper flipbook for you to take home. There was a great bar as well, featuring signature cocktails and craft beers. The event was full of people, but not so many that you couldn't breathe! The PR team (especially the super-cute interns!) did a really nice job. I had a great time, and I love how Yellow Lounge is bringing Classical music to a younger audience. Here are some photos from the event:

Nowadays, many people listen to classical music to wind down and relax.. Yellow Lounge has managed to put the party back into it! You can find out more about Yellow Lounge here. 
What sort of music do you listen to?

waking up my butterflies

ph: brianoldham

I am a wildflower.

It's been about a month or two now since we talked. Since we talked in our way. We still talk, but only when we are together with our friends. Then it's always in the casual way. We talk then because we have to.

We used to stay up all night and just talk in our way and when I got home, you would always call me and we would be on the phone for hours.
You were all I could think about at some point. Your voice would always make me warm. Your presence would always make me smile and your kiss would always make me shiver.

We knew from the beginning that we would never work. Still, we gave it a chance. Cus, who knew?

But we are the opposite with everything. I am a wildflower and you are a beautiful rose. It would never work. That's why leaving each other was so easy for us. Because we knew that we wasn't meant to be.

But I'd like to thank you for some things. Thank you for waking up my butterflies again. Before you, I hadn't felt them for years. Thank you for making me feel something again, what ever it now was. And thank you for you're wonderful and perfect smell. Some of my clothes still smell like you, no matter how much I'd washed them.

You're perfect and wonderful smell.
You were perfect.

I am not a wildflower anymore.

Abstract Nail Art Challenge Day 15: Recreate Favorite!

Well, this is it! The last day of the Abstract Nail Art Challenge. Today, we were to recreate our favorite manicure from one of our fellow challenge participants. I couldn't pick a favorite! All three of the other ladies participating did amazing work this entire month. So, I went with one that I really loved and also used a technique I've been wanting to try.  I picked Victoria of the Manicurator's Leopard Print Manicure! I absolutely loved the look of this mani. Really cute and funky nail art without being too "out there". While Victoria did her's in lovely pinks, I did my version in more safari-appropriate shades!

I first painted my nails with the gorgeous Santa Fe Road from Rescue Beauty lounge, then added gold (Color Club's Disco Nap) dots randomly. Then, with a Kiss Nail Art pen, I added the black detail. Simple and very chic- I love it! It figures the manicure I chose to end the Abstract Nail Art challenge was one of the least abstract of them all. This challenge was very, well.. challenging for me! I usually do much more representational nail art. It was great though, as it got me to think outside the box and try a lot of new things. Many thanks to Emily from The Lacquerologist for creating and coordinating the challenge!
Be sure to check out the favorite (and final!) manicures from the other ladies participating in the challenge.

Sunny's Miracle Balm by 365 Days of Color

If you follow the nail blog 365 Days of Color (and you should!) then you know that it's creator, Sunny, has recently come out with her own line of nail polish. I've reviewed a couple on the blog and they are all gorgeous! Her newest foray into nail care is her wonderful new Miracle Balm.
I love a good cuticle balm (I have dozens!) and this one has it all.. not only is it ultra-rich and moisturizing, but it is enriched with amazing ingredients like Vitamin E and Biotin to actually help strengthen and grow your nails. I've only been using it for a couple of weeks, so I can't report on its nail-strengthening abilities quite yet, but I can tell you that the ingredients used are wonderful.

Besides the fact that the balm is really nourishing, one of the cool things about it is that you can customize it. Sunny has gone a little fragrance-crazy, and offers it in over 60 different scents- from Ylang Ylang to Mango Papaya and everything in between! It is also extremely affordable at 3 dollars for a 1/2 ounce tin. 365 Days of Color did it again with this balm.. a reasonably prices, excellent product. Well done! You can find it at her shop, here.
What cuticle care products do you use?
Thank you so much for reading!

like you used to make me feel

ph: weheartit

the impact you had on my life

ph: Mario Leko

So.

Uhm..

How did we end up here?

How could love be so intricate? Unobtainable? Complicated?

This is our story.

I met you thru your best friend. I've been away for a year, sorting things out. Mostly my own life and all the wrong turns I've taken so far. During my absence I had an involuntary period of celibacy so when I finally came home again I was desperate for sex. Within a week I hooked up with 4 different women, trying to satisfy urges that hadn't been satisfied for a year. And so I met Sara. She was the niece of the guy we sublet our apartment in the basement to. She was a troubled girl, she had taken some wrong turns and was now trying to make all the right ones. A woman after my taste.

It didn't bother me that she was 3 years younger than me at the time. Neither did I think for a second that maybe I shouldn't do this, after all, she was the niece of our tenant. I was horny and she was there.

So it happened.

And then it happened again and again. We were extremely secretive about it, the only one's that knew were her friends. We developed a friendship along the way. We used to talk about everything, we took walks, we laughed and shared. And I liked her. A lot. She was funny. She amused me. And no one suspected a thing, we enjoyed our little private secret. But one day I met you. And I knew from the start nothing would be the same. You took my breathe away. From that first moment. I just needed to see you and everything just stopped.

I couldn't stop thinking about you. And I used too hope that you'd come visit her so I could see you, be in your vicinity. It feels so strange now thinking about it. How could you have me caught so quickly? Without even doing anything? But I couldn't do that to Sara. So I tried to stay away when you came to visit- Cause you just don't do that. You just don't dump the girl for her best friend. Try to explain that without getting killed.

Me and Sara continued our strange relationship for a year or so. And I never told you how I felt for you, about you. This blossoming infatuation. This seed of love.

Sara found love. And I can't say that I liked her boyfriend but love is love. And I accepted that our relationship had gone it's course in some ways. We still met when she came by and we continued with our walks. We still talked on the phone and we still enjoyed meeting each other. But there were no more sex. And it was ok, I was fine with it.

I moved from my parents to my own place during this time. And finally you and I started to get a relationship of our own.

We started talking. And talking went on to seeing each other. And I loved every second of it.

You started to come over everyday. We talked, laughed, smiled. I loved every second with you. You started to sleep over. And it was so natural. You and Amanda came for a visit one day. And that night while Amanda was sleeping we had sex for the first time. Turn off all the lights. Light up some candles.

It was all very movie-esque.

I don't remember ever being so content before in my life as those day's with you.

But you found love too. And you went away.

And me and Sara had a fight which in the end lead to us not talking with each other for almost 2 years.

I had a lot of time to think about things. About you. And feelings changed. From just thinking you was an amazing woman to infatuation to love.

I'm in love with you. And I wish it wasn't so.

Time went on. I moved to another apartment. And one day I started to talk with Sara again. And we had sex. Again. You had a boyfriend then. And my heart was burning with agony at the thought of you being with him. And I was longing to met you again. Talk to you again. But the day never came. One day I was on my way home from a friends, just another day. And and on the stop, who do I meet if not you? And I was at a loss for words. And seconds later your boyfriend showed up.

I hated that very second. I wished that it had never occurred.

A couple of months after that I moved to the neighboring country. Sara and I talked sporadically during this period. But I didn't stop thinking of you. A lot of things happen in my life during this period. I became a better person. I loved someone for the first time in my life. I grew personally and emotionally.

In 2008 I decided to celebrate New Years in another country. Me and a couple of friends decided to go to Sensation White in Germany. I went home after Christmas and while I was there I met Sara. We've been talking a lot the last couple of months and we both missed each other. She had visited my sister a lot lately as well, so it was natural that we met up. And you guessed it. We had sex. Again.

I practically lived at her place until I left for Germany.

And when I came back I had a surprise waiting for me. Sara told me she was pregnant.

I was in shock. I hadn't thought about parenthood too serious before that but now, put in the situation I realized that I wanted this. But things happen. And in the end Sara and I stopped talking again. And our relationship turned sour. And that how it was when I found out that you were moving too the same city I was in. I was overwhelmed with joy. But you had a boyfriend and I had just ended my relationship. There were so many complications. I was still living with my ex, we still had feelings for each other and there was no time for closure.

We met up a couple of times but just in the passing. But I've managed to tell you how I felt about you. And you seem to be in disbelief.

Your relationship ended.

We took a walk one day. We played in the snow. And on a swing. And I told you. All of it. All the time I've spent thinking it over. What I felt. And in the end we kissed. I loved that day.

One day you called me. You were a bit tipsy and wanted to see me so I came. And we walked. And talked. And just looked at each other. And as usual your eyes melted everything inside of me. And you smile was worth going thru the depths of hell for. And we kissed. And we just didn't seem to be able to stop kissing. The world was ours, the minutes was too short, the sweet agony of love. I wished that it would never end. But you had to go home, so I followed you to your door.

In the weeks that followed we talked and met up a couple of times more. Went out with each other. I met her friends. The people she lived with. And I realized that I couldn't share her. I wanted more than just being "friends." I couldn't just be her friend. I couldn't stand by and see other guys hit on her. And I knew that if I couldn't have her I couldn't be near her, for it was just too painful. It felt weird wanting something so badly. Like I was unintentionally choking her, limiting her interaction with others.

I told you this. How I felt. What I thought. What I wanted. And what I would have to do if we could not be. I think I scared you.

But in the end we ended up sleeping with each other. I wished it would had lasted forever. But it didn't. In the morning I followed you to your job. And we talked. Laughed. Smiled. And I cried inside because I knew that you weren't ready for a new relationship yet, not when your last one was still so fresh. And so I told you again what I felt. And then I kissed you for the last time. Said goodbye and left. I wanted to stop. But I continued to walk, I needed to leave you so you could be free. To choose. To feel.

To do the things you needed and not the things I wanted.

We stopped talking.

I can't remember anymore how long it took before I met you again. I remember that it was summertime. I was out with a couple of friend at the Opera, just taking a walk. We were actually talking about you when I thought I saw you on a distance. Your hair was everywhere. That's how I recognized you, by your hair. But while I was talking with my friends, you hid behind your friend and walked away. I didn't even see it. But my friends did.

Next time I saw you you tried to hide again. I couldn't understand why. We screamed at each other. Maybe not the best thing.

I met you about 6 months ago. On the tram. All of a sudden there you were. We said hi and then you went off. And it still hurt.

My body physically hurt 24/7 for over 6 months. You were my first thought when I woke up and my last thought before I fell asleep. You were in my dreams and constantly in my thoughts. I prayed everyday for it to disappear. Vanish. Be gone demon spawn. But off course it didn't. That's not how love works.

I couldn't even see a picture of you for over 1.5 year without a gaping hole of sorrow opening up in my soul. I still get you in my head when the thought of spending the rest of my life with someone comes up. I hate it. And I still think of you more than I'd like, but finally I think I'm letting go. I met you when I was 18. I'm 25 now.

It feels that it's about time now. I can see pictures of you now. For several minutes on end. And it doesn't even hurt that much anymore. I pray to God that you're happy in your relationship. That you're getting married soon. Maybe you already have. That you have children. Or children on the way. Anything that can separate the last bits of you from me. That's the impact you had on my life. Now somebody knows.

I needed to write it down. To tell myself. To tell others. I'm trying to let go of you. I can't honestly say if I love you. But.

I want to say it anyway. So here goes nothing.

Nike. I love you.

Boy's Bedroom "Before" Pictures

As promised, I FINALLY have some new house pictures for you! 

I've found lately that I'm driving myself crazy thinking about every single project I want to get done around the house, and I decided instead of floating from room to room only half-accomplishing things, I need to pick one room to work on at a time! And for whatever reason, my boy's bedroom seems to be the first room in the house to be completely unpacked and ready to be dressed up. So that's exactly where I'll start!

This is the boy's bedroom located on the upper level of our home. 

The upstairs of this house was previously unfinished. No walls, no floors, nothing. After Christmas this year, my husband along with two other men built and finished the space, adding two bedrooms to our home!



The boys have a twin/double bunk bed, but because of the sloped ceilings and short side walls, we had to separate them.





The dressers were given to me by my grandmother and may be seriously due for a facelift.





Reading nook beside bed?





 The boys have a playroom on the lower level, so the only toys that stay in the bedroom are stuffed animals. But I need to find a better way to store them than the overflowing pile we have now!



There are two access doors to storage behind the short knee walls where I am currently keeping totes of outgrown/hand-me-down clothes. The extra storage is a wonderful thing to have, but those doors are just screaming for some decorating.

Now that you've seen the "before" pictures, I'll share with you my
To-Do List
(Hopefully it will help me get everything accomplished!)

• Find inspiration!
• Curtains. It stays light here in Indiana until probably 9:30 pm! I need some curtains to convince my children it really is time to go to bed!
• Recover throw pillows to dress up bedding.
• Paint dressers?
• Rug for middle of floor
• Re-do sports lamp
• New storage for stuffed animals
• Reading area next to double bed?
• Shelf to display boy's trinkets and trophies
• Find/make artwork for walls

Stay tuned to see how I transform my little men's bedroom! I'm so excited!!

Clash of the Titans! Artsy Wednesday AND Abstract Nail Art Challenge!

Today, due to a rare and massive alignment of the planets.. Artsy Wednesday and the Abstract Nail Art Challenge have fallen on the same day! Providentially, I was able to do a manicure that satisfied the requirements for both. The theme for Artsy Wednesday was "ombre", and the Abstract challenge was to do a manicure using a new-to-you tutorial. So, I used a tutorial from Codename Aya (here) to create an ombre gradient mani! Ta-da!

This is a technique I've never done before.. sponging on a gradient. I'm really happy with how it turned out. It was easy to do and I love the look! The polishes I used were Barielle "The Sky's the Limit" and a baby blue frankenpolish I mixed up. Be sure to check out the new tutorial manicures from the other ladies participating in the Abstract Nail Art Challenge:

Essie Bikini So Teeny Review and Swatch

I have a lovely polish to show you today- Bikini So Teeny from Essie. What a cute, cheeky name for a polish! BST is a lovely pale cornflower blue with subtle shimmer. It is fun, feminine, and wearable all at once.

I absolutely love a light blue polish, and this one's great formula and coverage make it a keeper in my stash! I am rarely disappointed in an Essie, and this is no exception. Have you tried any of the new Summer shades from Essie? I've got Mint Mojito (from the same collection) on my toes right now as well! It is a great set of polishes!
Thank you so much for reading!

all the things i've been dying to hear

ph: weheartit + weheartit

i'm not sure if I'm in love with you

ph: leosellspills

I don't think I've ever had a best friend before you. Maybe because all my best friends have been girls and now I've found you and I think we might fit together perfectly one of us X and the other Y. We've known each other for a while but I only came to your school this year, but of us unenthusiastic about spending 5 days a week with one another. But our shared neighborhood slowly brought us together and with that we discovered our shared souls. We spent long hours getting coffee and held hands walking back to my house. Purely as friends. Is that weird? It didn't feel weird. On Valentines Day we went to buy your girlfriend a present together. We walked through aisle upon aisle in Rite Aid collapsing with laughter about what if you just presented her with a bag of beef jerky? Vaginal cream? A Toy Story 3 hat? We've spent days lying in my room talking about anything. When she broke up with you I was the first girl to ever see you cry. I held you in my arms and felt your chest tremble against my heart. We lay outside in the warm spring sun talking about the future and how we felt so small in a world so big. We watched every Laker game this season and although we're fans of different teams you rested your head in my lap as we argued about calls. Sometimes you come over late Sunday nights because neither of us want to go to school the next day so we bake chocolate chip cookies in my kitchen, and I pour you glass after glass of the 2% milk my family gets just for you. An unshared secret between us for more than a week rarely exists, and if it does, it's just waiting for the right moment to be revealed. That night this spring break we slept at your house. It was the night of my birthday so we drank to Never Have I Ever with the other two. We fell asleep on the same couch spooning and laughing, my hands rested on yours and your arms wrapped around my waist. Our fingers played with one another and slowly the touch because more desperate and longing. I'd thought about the possibility before but stored it away for another day, month, year. I turned my head to face yours, and you lifted yours. I'm not sure if I'm in love with you.

The Bloom Ambassador Program June Box!

This month, I signed up for the Bloom Beauty Ambassador program. Bloom.com sends out curated boxes of beauty goodies to a group of women ranging from beauty bloggers to professionals to enthusiasts. In exchange, we provide honest reviews on those products. That is what Bloom.com is- a social beauty store. A place where you can go and read honest, unbiased reviews from women like you and be able to make better beauty purchasing decisions. I hope that this blog is a place like that for you, too!
So, here is what came in the box this month, as well as a few thoughts on each item.

Pacifica was featured heavily in this month's box. You may be familiar with their home fragrance line- candles and the like. That is, at least, what I knew the brand for. I wasn't aware that they made beauty products, but I'm glad I found out! They are absolutely lovely. We got to try out two of their body butters- Indian Coconut Nectar and Tuscan Blood Orange. They both smelled great, but as I usually don't gravitate towards fruity scents, I did prefer the Coconut Nectar fragrance. The both absorbed beautifully and were very moisturizing. 




Also included was a bronzing body butter- Coconut Crushed Pearl. This also had a lovely, delicate scent. What I like about it is that it is a light bronzer, but not a self tanner-So you don't have to worry about streaking or staining. It leaves just a hint of color and shimmer, and comes off in the shower. 

Pacifica also included two of their Color Quench Lip Tints, in Blood Orange and Coconut Nectar. They are both great lip products- subtly flavored and non-drying. The Blood Orange has a sheer red wash of color, very pretty! The tubes are enormous and will last a very long time. 

The last Pacifica product, and my favorite, is the Island Vanilla Roll-On Perfume. This is a lovely, subtle, pleasant, and soft vanilla fragrance that I think might even please people who usually aren't a fan of vanilla. I love the rollerball application, too. Great to stick in your purse for discreet fragrance touch-ups on the go. I've been wearing this fragrance a lot, its very soothing! 

We also received two shadow sample cards from Stila, featuring a small sample of each shade from the In The Moment and In The Garden palettes. These are really lovely colors-pigmented, soft, and blendable. Both palettes have enough colors to take you from day to night, and would make a great gift for someone without a lot of shadows or someone like me who is a product junkie! 

Here is a look I did using several shades from both palettes (I'm also wearing the Pacifica Blood Orange Lip Tint!): 

 Next up was a very interesting product- Flirty Little Secret's Firming Bronzer with Pheromones. The idea behind this is that the pheromones help you secretly attract.. ahem.. romantic attention. I'm no Pheromone Scientist (is that a real thing?) but I think this might be a good example of placebo. Perhaps the bronzer gives you a little confidence boost, and that in turn helps you in your more amorous adventures. Judging it just as a bronzer, it is fine.. but a little too much on the shimmery side for my tastes.

 Lastly, we got to try Kaia's Bamboo Facial Cleansing Cloths. You can read my full review of those here. 
Well, thanks for getting this far! Quite a long post, I know. Hopefully you got a little bit of insight into some of these neat new products.. Anything in the box that you'd like to try out?
Thank you so much for reading! 
All the best, 
Jessica

Abstract Nail Art Challenge: Day 13

Today's Abstract Nail Art Challenge was to combine two of the techniques featured in previous challenges. So, I chose to combine Dots and Ombre. I achieved this by painting my nails with a base coat of Rescue Beauty Lounge Halcyon, and adding a gradation of dots using Essie Navigate Her, Absolutely Shore, and Marshmellow. Here is the result:

I really like this manicure! It is super cute and really easy to do, whether you are an experienced or beginner nail artist. I'm looking forward to trying this dot-ombre technique with other color combinations. What do you think?
Be sure to check out the combo manicures from the other ladies participating in the June Abstract Nail Art Challenge.. we're in the home stretch!

Chocolate Chunk Muffins

Are you ready for another edition of 

MUFFIN MONDAYS?

Well here we go!

I have 3 words for you: Chocolate. Chunk. Muffins. These babies are sinfully scrumptious. I am not typically a big chocolate lover, (what can I say, I'm a vanilla kinda girl) but these muffins knocked my socks off. I found this recipe via Pinterest here.

Here's what you'll need:

Start by placing a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 375F. Butter or spray muffin pan or fit with 12 paper muffin cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.

Coarsely chop the chocolate, 

and melt half the chocolate with 6 tablespoons butter in a double boiler. Once melted, remove from heat.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract together until well combined. 

Pour the liquid ingredients and the melted butter and chocolate over the dry ingredients,

and stir, gently but quickly, to blend with a whisk or rubber spatula. Be careful not to over-mix the batter.

Stir in the remaining chopped chocolate.

Take a lick of chocolate goodness. You've earned it.

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

Oh my chocolate... these muffins are scrumptious! A big glass of milk would make these muffins just perfect.

Or if you are in my family, smear a good amount of peanut butter all over. 

My little taste tester, Wyatt, gave it the seal of approval!

Chocolate Chunk Muffins

3/4 stick (6 Tablespoons) unsalted butter

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped

2 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/4 cups buttermilk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 375F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin pan or fit with paper muffin cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.

Melt the butter and half the chopped chocolate together in a bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Remove from the heat. 

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, egg, and vanilla extract together until well combined. Pour the liquid ingredients and the melted butter and chocolate over the dry ingredients and, with a whisk or rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Do not over mix the batter. Stir in the remaining chopped chocolate. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. 

Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

ENJOY!
