Gluten-free Morning Muffin Recipe
I’m obsessed with… Weleda Birch Cellulite Oil
Nik: Not that I have cellulite anywhere on my body (cough), but if I did (cough), I’d recommend this product that I overheard the 40-something-hot-mama-owner-of-a-well-known-italian-eatery saying she slathers on day and night. I mean, if this bella donna can work around the most delicious food in LA and look that good? Yeah, I bought it.
Alex: Is the universe trying to hint at something? Someone at work gave me a sample of this! My skin feels like a baby’s bottom. Hello boys!
Here. Here’s A Job.
Text from Nik to Alex: My pilates instructor is looking for a part-time assistant. Monday and Tuesdays 8-5. $20/hr if you’re interested.
Alex: Yes!! I am! How do I go about securing that?
Nik: Call Noelle. Tell her I told you about the position. I don’t have the number. Google it.
Alex: Is there a time I should call?
Nik: I found the number (310-***-****). Call now because I just left her a message saying you’d be calling.
Alex: Thank you! Just left a message.
Text from Alex to Nik: I’m meeting with Noelle tomorrow at her studio!
Nik: I know. She called me and thanked me for recommending you and said that she trusts she’ll like you. Pretty sure the job is yours if you want it.
Alex: Should I bring a resume when I meet with her? And how dressy should I get?
How Much?!
Alex: I was lured into a boutique the other day in Malibu. HOLY SHIT! Do people really pay $118 for a black v-neck with a little pocket on the front left? Even though I walked around pretending like I belonged there, the workers barely acknowledged me, probably because I was wearing tennis shoes and workout pants. Bad move ladies, I’m going to be able to afford nice clothes someday and guess where I’m NOT shopping… ...
Spread A Little, Get A Little
Alex: Do people in LA only smile when a camera is present? I don’t get it. Walking to get my second cup of coffee this morning, I smiled at the woman who was walking past me. She gave me a look that could kill, like I should be ashamed of myself for smiling. As I waited in line for coffee, I said hello to the person standing in front of me and he looked at me
Isabel Marant, I Want Your Boots
Nik: I hate that I’m even sharing this because Isabel Marant is my absolute favorite designer and sharing this tidbit means more of you to elbow out of my way when the doors open, but since Huff Post, Vogue and everyone else already spilled the beans, I’ll spill them too…ISABEL IS GOING TO H&M ON NOVEMBER 14! This is more exciting than the iPhone 5S or meatballs on my pizza. Yes, I’ll be standing in line.
Finding My Style
Alex: I’m not in Wisco anymore! Holy cheese is everyone here super stylish and skinny and tan. I’m still adapting to the way of life out here and more so to the way people dress. My stepmom advised me to only bring my 10 best outfits, as I’d want a whole new wardrobe. But instead of bringing my quesadilla maker, candy dispenser, and a few other cool gadgets, I cram packed my car with clothes. ...
Let’s Make It A Thing
You Can Do Anything Good!
Alex: My friends and I stumbled across this video years ago of a little girl who had the right outlook on life. Her name is Jessica and she is bursting with positivity. There was one line that we really fell in love with ‘I can do anything good.’ Anytime we were going through a situation, no matter the level of seriousness we said it to each other--you can do anything good! Deciding what to wear ...
The Hair Down There
Alex: Going to Newport Beach this weekend for a birthday bash. Definitely want to get a wax before I get into a bikini. Do you have someone good?
Nik: Go see Mirella at Cristophe in the BH (348 N. Beverly Dr. 310-274-0851). She’s one of my favorite people on the planet. I’ve been going to her for years. She’s equal parts therapist (not licensed) and aesthetician. If you ask her for advice (which I highly recommend) and often if you don’t, you’ll get her no-nonsense opinion. You’re seriously so
