Live Fabulous: Get Your Green Thumb On.

09.04.2010 // No Comments // Decor, Health, Home


Not only do indoor plants look beautiful and add warmth to any space, they also provide amazing health benefits! A palm like this one (Leah and I purchased at Ikea for well under $20), can kill up to 87% of indoor toxins which improve your air quality and decrease cold & airborne illnesses by 30%!! They also make you happy & improve morale, so you should have one at work too!

My recommendations for your indoor plant to thrive:

1. Water It. Just make sure the dirt is always moist.
2. Stick it outside from time to time and let it soak in some direct sunlight.
3. And when possible, sprinkle its water over the top like a rain shower (even with the hose).

Road Trips are Fabulous Too!

Kate Spade Spring 2010

Mary and I are loving these Kate Spade ads! So much so that we were inspired to take a little road trip of our own. Well, not really. Actually, we had to drive up to Sacramento for a job. Sshhhhhhh! We can’t divulge the details, but you’ll find out soon enough! So, off we headed up to our states capitol. It might not have been as glamorous as the girls from Kate Spade ( in fact, we were mostly in our PJ’s) but we sure had fun! And fun with your best friend is always Fabulous!

We loaded up the van with all of our favorite Fabulous things!

Sac Town here we come!!

Until we ran into a little traffic…and by a little, we mean A LOT! So much that we had time to hop out of the car and get some fresh air. But in the end we made it and it was another job well done! Now check out our favorite Fabulous On A Budget tips for road tripping!

1) Gas up with the big boys – Gas is usually cheaper at truck stops!

2) Don’t skimp on the snacks –  We all know that traveling by car means junk food temptation! To keep energy levels high, pack a cooler with “healthy” snacks. Granola bars, fruit, etc..

3) ALWAYS get an oil change and check your fluids before you head out into the sunset!

4) Bring Sunscreen – seems a little silly.. but I didn’t on our trip and I was sorry!! By the time we got there, my whole left arm, neck and side of my face was brunt!

5) Don’t forget the tunes!!! Make a great Mix CD or bring an Ipod. Who wants to get stuck in static!?

Fabulous Finds: Our Favorite Beauty Buys Right Now.

We’ve been spending hours in hair and makeup this week and getting rid of all that make up can me tough. That’s why we are loving L’Oreal’s Revital Lift Make Up Removing Wipes! They are only $7.00 for a pack of 30 pre moistened toweletts. Never oily or over drying, we are OBSESSED!

After the make up comes off, it’s time to revitalize our skin! Right now, I am loving the Alba Papaya Enzyme facial mask. It gently loosens and dissolves dull surface cells which makes my skin clean and vibrant! LOVES LOVES LOVES. Also available at your local drugstore.

Sorry We’ve Been MIA… We’re On SET!!

Fabulous Finds: Funky Floral Pumps!

08.18.2010 // No Comments // Fashion

Are you DYING!? We still are! Mary and I found these matching pair of pumps at Forever 21 of all places!!! And for only $26.00! We just couldn’t resist! Especially, since they reminded us sooo much of the Miu Miu Sparrow Print Platform and with those setting you back around $600.00 we’ll opt for the look for less saving around $575.00! Yes, please!!!

Miu Miu Satin Sparrow Platform Mary Janes

Rollin’ on dubs for $20!?

08.15.2010 // 1 Comment // Decor, Entertainment, inspiration


While driving yesterday, I heard an ad for a company that promised new rims for your car for only $20 down and a low monthly payment of $20 – essentially ‘Pimp My Ride’ for rent! This was the best thing I’d ever heard of, so I quickly went home and checked out their site: EZRims4Rent. I think Leah should get some rims on her black SUV and trick that shizz out. So flashy! Does anyone know where I can rent an “ice cream paint job”?

Fab Gifts Under Five Bucks!

Quick, little items for the person who has everything! I’m loving each of these wallet friendly treasures. Amazing when arranged in a basket with a bow – the ultimate lifestyle care package.

1. Religious Candles: Each come with a corresponding prayer and the best part, they won’t catch on fire if they tip! Less than a dollar at your local $.99 Store or Mexican Market.

2. Nag Champa Incense: My favorite scent! A classic. Find them at a spiritual bookstore, Indian shop or online for less than $2, depending on the size.

3. Jar: Fill it with jelly beans, a bouquet, coffee, cookies, or gazpacho and wrap in a ribbon for someone special.

4. Vaseline Rosy Lips: I haven’t been able to track one down in the states, but they’re all over the UK! Made with Rose and Almond oil and multi-functions for fly-aways, gloss, brow highlighter, dry cuticles, or a dewy cheek. Genius! Obsessed.

5. Lotto Ticket: Perfect in a card! Only $1 each but the pay offs are HUGE!

6. Fortune Cookies: Give the gift of luck! They come in a darling pink box for $1 at the $.99 Cent Store. Slap a bow on top and its already wrapped. So fun for parties and centerpieces!!
