Hey Friday – I come to you by way of watching The Voice blind auditions. I’ve never really watched more than bits and pieces of this show, but it’s so exciting! I literally have butterflies the entire time, wanting each contestant to get the feedback and opportunity I know they’ve dreamt of their whole life.  I think I’m getting too emotionally invested over here.

Also – I want Alicia Keys to be my life mentor. She is so infectious and something about her energy – she is so inspirational to me! I think this is my favorite song of hers, I used to sing this song in my car hard.

SO, let’s talk about the weekend, shall we? Christian and I have plans to go to the desert for a little getaway at the Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage, and we’ve been looking forward to it for weeks. His stress levels have been a little higher than usual lately, so I think he really needs some time to unwind.

This week I worked on a few fun projects I’m really excited to share! A Halloween makeup video tutorial with Urban Decay, I shot some blog posts for some fun fall collaborations and I got a vamped-up mane thanks to my friends at DKWStyling! All to come on CBL. Thank you guys for supporting this little space that makes these kinds of projects possible!

AND, because you guys know I’m a lover of all things TV (I’m not bragging about this… I recognize loving television is not the coolest hobby… but I am who I am), I’m STOKED fall shows are back. I think I’m going to add This Is Us to my arsenal of shows because it looks like a good one.  What shows are you excited to welcome back?

Thanks so much for reading, and have a beautiful weekend! XO –
