Friday Faves ::: Picnics

Happy Weekend Friends!

Lets be honest... picnics aren't usually as functional as they are cute. But just once, I'd really love to style a picnic outing. Even if it's only for a photo shoot. Where is your favorite place to picnic? The beach, park, your back yard?

Featured Artist::: Vladimir Stankovic

Hi Friends!

This week's artist is Vladimir Stankovic. I've seen his illustrations floating around here and there and decided I couldn't wait any longer to share him with you. Here's a brief statement from the artist's website:::

"My name is Vladimir Stankovic, I'm a graphic designer and illustrator from Serbia, currently based in Rovaniemi, Finland. In my work I try to combine my love and passion towards illustration and graphic design, with the use of both traditional and digital mediums. My inspiration comes from science and nature on one hand, and fantasy, fairy tales and all sorts of mysteries on the other."

Bona Clara + Giveaway!

Happy Monday Everyone!

Today I get to introduce you to some new friends of mine. The lovely team from Bona Clara. Based in Boston, Bona Clara is an educational beauty brand. I've spent some time with these ladies and let me tell you, they are amazing. I've also tried their products, equally as awesome. You're not going to want to miss out on the chance to win one of their Try Me Kits. I use their makeup remover every night and it's by far the best one I've ever used. Plus the science behind Bona Clara's products is absolutely fascinating. Read on!

1. Tell us about Jasmina, the founder of Bona Clara.

    Jasmina graduated from MIT with a Bio-Chemical Engineering degree, through research and experience, she discovered the incredible difference that age makes in how the skin reacts and absorbs formulations and ingredients. Having worked at companies that included Fresh and Living Proof, she eventually launched her first line, Stages of Beauty, after noticing that thousands of skincare products were introduced every year by companies that didn't focus on educating women about what was going on in their skin. After watching the brand grow to over 200,000 customers in the first year, with a large portion being due to word of mouth, Jasmina decided to take her original version of age-segmented product lines and marry it with a modern-day entrepreneurial opportunity that brings forward the best in technology, e-commerce, education and personal service, thus Bona Clara was born!


2. Tell us about the products and how the age groups work.

    Bona Clara has 4 unique lines for the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, and 50s+. Each age-specific line consists of beauty routine basics: a Cleanser, Scrub, Toner, Serum  and a Treatment Cream that are scientifically formulated with powerful and proven natural ingredients that target the specific problems your skin faces at each age. Additional cutting edge products such as Makeup Removers, an SPF and Night and Neck Creams allow women to tailor their anti-aging regimen to suit their individual needs, budget and schedule.


3. What is your favorite product and why?

    For the Summer we are loving our Scrub, which helps you get that healthy and radiant glow, by getting rid of dead skin cells while brightening and evening the skin. Year round, we are addicted to our Treatment Cream, which is full of anti-aging ingredients that leave your skin, soft, smooth and hydrated!

And now for the giveaway! Enter below to win a Try Me Kit plus Makeup Remover for your age group.

Hey Friends!

Big news::: The Beard and I are moving again! To Spain! No no no... just kidding. In June we'll be moving about a mile closer to downtown from where we are now. Yay! I'm so excited about this. Our new apartment is much closer to the neighborhood I spend most of my time in, as well as to The Beard's school/studio. It will be much more convenient. It's the "attic" {4th floor} of a smaller yellow stone building. Plus the new place is quite a bit bigger than our current apartment which is of course fabulous. There's even a special "closet" in the living room that's really closer to the size of a small bedroom that I'll get to use as my inventory room! I can't wait to show you guys photos. AND it's just around the corner from one of my favorite parks. Score!

In other news, I've come to terms with winter being over. Hahaha. If you follow me on twitter or instagram you probably know how much I loved the cold and how I was dreading it getting hot again. But being from Southern California I've never experienced a real Spring before and it's been way more awesome than I was expecting. Flowers and greenery and 60-70 degree days... Sigh. How's a girl supposed to stay inside and work with weather like this?
