Happy Birthday Mentor!
Alex: Nik, I’m so lucky and thankful that our worlds have crossed paths. You inspire me in more ways than one. You make me laugh and you’re there for me when I cry. You are one of the strongest women I have ever met and the rock for so many people. I don’t know how you do it. Happy Birthday! I look forward to celebrating many more birthdays together! 
I’m obsessed with… Mitch Stone Essentials
Nik: You know what’s fun about saying yes to random party invites in LA? You sometimes meet nice people who just launched a hair care line and they want to give you full size samples for your feedback. Here’s my feedback Mitch Stone: Love. I smell like Hawaii and I’m super happy about it because I’m freezing my tatas off in Wisconsin right now.
I’m obsessed with… The Stowaway Case
Alex: No one brings a big purse to the clubs. Whenever I go out dancing, I stuff my ID, credit card, phone, and house key into the smallest purse I have. BAD IDEA. Every time I would take my phone out of my purse something would fall out. I lost my ID a month ago and had to order a new one. It was like Christmas every morning running to the mailbox to see ...
Geographically Desirable
Alex: Why does it have to be so difficult to meet up in this city!? I live on the west side, closer to the ocean, and the majority of people I have met or knew before I moved here live on the east side, closer to Hollywood or Studio City. At first the traffic didn’t bother me, but now it’s what is killing my friendships with people! That may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I can’t tell you how many times I’ve wanted to meet up with someone, but didn’t because of traffic. Forget crossing the 405 anytime between 2pm to 8pm. That leaves a small window of time to hang. It sucks! Don’t even bother trying to make dinner plans anymore. The only people I can see regularly are those I live with or those who live west of the 405. Sad face. Maybe
Skin Laundry
Nik: The thing I like about Skin Laundry is that you’re in and out in fifteen minutes. There’s no pain and I definitely noticed a difference in the overall tone of my skin, but you have to keep it up (they recommend once a week) and wear sunscreen daily.
Alex: Interesting. Not sure why, but
Park You
Alex: Parking enforcement does not mess around out here. In Wisconsin you could get away with a lot more! Today I went to Runyon to hike. It has such a different vibe than Temescal. Can’t complain though, I’m happy hiking anywhere. Whenever I’m this cheesy, I actually crave cheese. Is that weird? Anyway, I loved how many dogs were at Runyon. I felt like I was walking up a mountain, surrounded by puppies and a ...
Thank You Notes
Nik: Sharing some love from one our readers, but also decided that this is a creative and genius way to send a thank you note. I usually send a thank you via text or email because I don’t have time to snail mail it, but then I feel guilty because it lacks personal touch. This is going to be my new way to say thanks. You get the speed of technology, but also the ...
The Grocery Store
Alex: I never would have thought I’d ever see the need to blog about this, but oh my lanta is going grocery shopping in LA such a trip! It’s literally a zoo. And by zoo I don’t just mean crowded and kinda smelly, I mean I can’t tell if the aisles are filled with humans or animals. Have you ever stopped and people-watched? It’s nuts. I saw this mom, who by the way was wearing ...
Powder Puff
Text from Nik to Alex: I don’t want to wash my hair.
Alex: Baby powder.
Nik: I have dry shampoo, but it kind of makes my scalp itchy.
Alex: Baby powder is better.
Nik: Even on dark hair?
Alex: Yes. You don’t need a lot. Lightly sprinkle it on your roots and watch the magic happen.
Nik: Magic?
Alex: Oily roots, now you see them now you don’t.
Nik: What’s the difference between baby powder and dry shampoo?
Alex: I’m not sure, but it just works better. My hair looks and feels cleaner when I use the powder.
Nik: Fine, I’ll try it. And since we’re talking powder, if I ever hear that you’re using drugs, this project
