celebrity lookalikes: an olympian and two actresses

Every once in a while I like to do these mostly random posts. I've done them since the very beginning of this here blog! When I find someone I think looks like a certain celeb, I remember it and wanna see if I'm alone in thinking this!

Ever since Divergent has been out, I've gotten the "you look like Shailene Woodley" comment at least three times a week! I don't see it, so it's hard for me to find lookalike pics, but here's the email I got from my boss: 

Now here are some that I think are identical! 

Every time I see commercials for the new show "Black Box," I think it's my Kane Show co-intern Stacy! I'm pretty sure they'd look MORE alike actually in person, since they don't smile the same.

And I couldn't stop staring at my friend's boyfriend one night until I finally told him he was Ryan Lochte's twin. Luckily, he doesn't have the douchey traits of the swimmer.

Now is when you tell me if I'm an idiot or not. Do you see it?!



If you have someone that the world thinks you look like, let me know! Doppelgangers are always fun!

friday morning hangover 032814

I've realized that most of the links I don't get to post throughout the week have something to do with sex or the 90s... so it's a healthy dose of being an adult and remembering your past. You're welcome.

Let's get to it, Internet.

• Example: Weird sex traditions from around the world
• Also.. this "keep track of all your sex" app is the most genius thing ever
• Always interesting and a little heartbreaking: Reality show writer shares stories and secrets from the process
• Things from the 90s that definitely messed us up for life
• It's a bit warmer in DC today.. so romantic things to do this season that are free
• These are metaphors only Milennials/lovers of the 90s & 00s will understand.
• Today we find out what each city is masturbating to... and I look extremely confused.
• CRAY-ZEE. Facts about classic Disney movies you should know
• Things no one should ever do at a wedding.
• A very important and really hard quiz to answer: Which Full House character are you?
• JUST LOOK at this adorable mama liger and her baby play!
  
• How identically perfect is their baby?!
  
• This is Cee-lo Green. Fo reals.
  

BTW Sunday is National Honesty Day. I'm going to take it to a whole new level of blunt. Join me?

wearing: winter in the spring

As much as I love getting some wear out of my winter-clearance items, I'm over it. I'm ready for bright colors, flats/sandals, and not worrying about carrying a coat around.

...but here we are... A week into Spring and I'm wearing a scarf and coat and still freezing. I decided to at least lighten it up a bit yesterday.

I'm so excited I finally found a chambray shirt that fits pretty good! It's darker than most, but I feel like it'll be a good contrast with hot pinks and yellows that I wear all the time in the Spring. 

-shirt from Old Navy

-jeans from F21

-flats from Charlotte Russe

-scarf from the streets of NYC

I've been going to work with wet hair lately [and just trying to hide my roots and nappy hair that I decided to show off here, I guess] so the easiest thing is an "LC-braid" that goes all the way down. Then I just double rolled the braided pony underneath and bobby pinned it up.

My fabulous blue liner is from Chella via Ipsy. I love the color, but it definitely doesn't go on easily/well.

How do we feel about the half-tucked shirts? Not going to lie... It took me several attempts to make the "untucked" look, look alright. People on Pinterest make it look so good and easy.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to waste the only hour of "extra time" I have by playing 2048 or trying to decide what to buy from this website.

inside the recent influenster voxbox

Last time I mentioned Influenster and their VoxBoxes, I really had no idea what was going on.. 

After receiving the last one, I feel like an old fashioned pro! Well... not at all... but I have more to share. 

I definitely recommend at least giving Influenster a try when you have some time to kill. Take some surveys/prove your knowledge, and then just wait and see if you'll get a big box of freebies one month! 

Unlike other things that send you freebies [Klout], you are required to review the box if you want to stay eligible for more in the future. Obviously I think it's worth it since I'm doing that now! 

This was March's J'Adore Box. 

[minus that dry shampoo.... somehow it ended up in here even though it was from Birchbox.]

• KISS Looks So Natural Lashes [$4]- I haven't been able to actually wear these because I always need someone to help me put them on, but they feel soft and easy, and not too much
• Frizz-Ease 3-Day Straight flat iron spray [$10 for full size]- I've tried so many pre-straightener sprays that I feel like get sticky or make my hair stringy/in need of a wash within a day, but luckily I forgot I had used this! My hair stayed smooth as promised.
• Red Rose Simply Indulgent Teas [$5 for 20]- Unfortunately this is another thing I couldn't personally try because I can't drink anything hot, but the man fully enjoyed all of them and the sweet flavors. 
• Big ol' bag of Hershey's Kisses [$5]- Well... we already know how delicious these are.
• Botanics Shine Away Iconic Clay Mask [$9]- Masks have become my new nighttime pleasure when I need to relax. I don't have a shine problem, so I can't say whether it cured that, but it absolutely made my skin a lot smoother and I could feel the cleansing happen which makes me happy. I enjoy it so much that I even took a masked-selfie, which should never be shared.

My "badges" that earn me boxes are Fashionista, Pop Culture, and Fan-Addict. You take quizzes of sorts to prove your knowledge and that determines which boxes you're sent.

It's been two months since I got my last box before this one, so I'm hoping there are more soon.. especially with more products I can really use on a daily basis! Either way.. a box program that costs $0 is pretty sweet.
