1) Karl Lagerfeld's Anti-Selfie Statement
"They are this
horrible thing where you are distorted. The chin is too big, the head is too
small. No, this is electronic masturbation."
We have to go ahead and agree here (though we’re not totally sure what
he means by electronic masturbation?). Feels
good to have the authority on cool back us up.
Yes, much of our selfie hatred stems from bitterness after a plethora of selfie-fails. We’ve seen this video—we know it can be
done. Just not for us.
It starts when a friend asks to see your new haircut. You’re walking home alone so you casually stretch that arm—everybody’s doing it—and snap what you just assume will be a gorgeous picture (because your hair is looking sharp, and let’s be honest, that’s usually the problem). Upon review, you find that you look really tired, your face is asymmetrical, and when you smile, you look like a 6 year old pageant queen vying for the Grand Supreme. (Just us?) You hope it’s a onetime deal, but upon experimentation—lighting, angles, filters—you realize there’s no hope.

So thank you, Karl. If you say
they’re horrible, we say they’re horrible.
Let’s just all vow to stop trying.
2) Spring has sprung! We’re going darker. (And we’re not talking about our tans)
Pastels abound, but when it comes to picking a spring shade, we
love the element of surprise. When every other girl in the nail salon is laser focused on the spectrum of pinks and whites, we’re heading for black’s, blues, and
dark purples. This applies to our lip shade, as well. Before we all soak in some (much needed) vitamin D, pair your sunlight deprived winter skin with a deep sangria red (try NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Palais Royal) for a gorgeous contrast.
3) Crispy Green Freeze Dried Fruit
3pm snack time just got super fun. Or maybe it’s been fun for a while and we’re
just catching on.
In a perfect world, we’d get the after school snack urge and grab
an apple without fail. But being the
imperfect gals that we are, sometimes we’d much prefer a bag of chips (or a
Handi-Snack, but we’re too old for that).
Crispy Green is helping solve this dilemma with individual servings of freeze
dried fruit. True story- I loved the
treat so much, I looked into buying a freeze dryer…they’re expensive.

An individual bag is only 40 calories (and a little under $1.50 at Whole Foods) and won’t quite fill you
up, but it’s a great hold-over ‘til dinner if you’re not wildly starving. I intend to make my way through all the fruit
options by next week. Get on board, friends! Swimsuit season is fast approaching.
