Favorite Finds: Dot & Bo

Dot-And-Bo Interior Design Items on Sale

I’ve been on a mission lately to figure out how to reinvent my two-bedroom apartment and maximize its space potential. Adding a curious toddler and two creatives who use the living and dining areas as work stations means having to keep things clean and functional with a touch of whimsy because, well, it would be boring otherwise. Enter Dot & Bo.

11 Ways to Shop Smarter

11 Ways to Shop Smarter | Bubbles & Ink

Some may call it a pastime. I like to call it a sport. Over the years, I’ve honed my shopping skills to the point where I’ll rarely ever pay full price for an item. And neither should you. With the slew of offers, social media sites, and apps available to shoppers these days, you should never experience buyer’s remorse over pricing (those velvet damask-patterned drop-crotch pants are an entirely different matter, though). So read on and benefit from my countless shopping trips. I like to keep telling myself it’s research…

Favorite Finds: Wantable Boxes

Wantable Monthly Subscription Boxes | Bubbles & Ink Blog

Today’s Favorite Find combines my love of discovering new brands with the luxury of having a personal shopper curate the perfect set of pieces based on my preferences. Wantable is a monthly box subscription unlike many others in the way it allows its subscribers to tell them what they like and dislike.

I opted for the intimates box, where I selected the styles I wear most or would like to wear and gave them honest size information (all secured and private, of course). What came in was a perfect little box of treats and basics I know I’ll be using often.

Favorite Finds: Beauty for Real

Beauty for Real Light Up Lip Gloss | Bubbles & Ink Blog

Or because it’s great for your lips because of it’s natural anti-aging capabilities. Or even because it’s loaded with essential vitamins from its aloe vera and avocado oil ingredients. But the truth is, I was just REALLY amused by the fact that it has this amazing little LED light built into the cap so that when you turn it on its side and use the handy little mirror to apply Beauty for Real’s lip-plumping lip gloss formula, you can actually apply it with precision, regardless of the lighting situation.

Cezanne Hair at Danny Jelaca

Danny Jelaca Salon Miami Beach | Bubbles & Ink Blog

I knew early on that some people had it way easier than I did in the proverbial styling department. As soon as I was old enough to play with my mother’s hair and makeup tools, I began daydreaming of better-tressed days. By the age of twelve, I was begging for relaxers. Following several years of experimentation with chi’s, blow outs, relaxers, and keratin treatments, Cezanne’s offer to try their new smoothing product was a welcome invitation. Five days and two washes later, I am declaring this the good hair gene my parents weren’t able to give me in utero. I forgive you, Mom.
