Don't Talk So Close To Me

I know this may come off completely rude and antisocial, but I absolutely hate talking to my uber/lyft/taxi driver. It's like I'm in the Twilight Zone of chit chat--and I hate chit chat. I hate chit chat with people I know, let alone people I don't know who are driving me 2 miles to get to the mall. It's like, yeah, the weather is nice, no I don't watch the Giants games, the traffic IS really bad today, and yes, AGAIN, the weather IS nice, and no, your really offensive joke wasn't funny, but I'll nervously laugh anyways because I don't want to talk you about the "worthless busses in the city shuttling old Chinese people around, taking up all the street space." You mean shuttling them HOME FROM WORK?! Or, even worse, when your chit chat turns serious and your driver starts crying and before you know it you're comforting her about that time she had to drive a woman only two blocks and it was just such a short distance to call a driver and then something about being from Croatia. I just wanted a ride to Chipotle. So don't be offended if you pick me up and I'm wearing headphones, but you can't hear anything coming out of them. That's because there's no music on. I'm not listening to anything except the awkward silence of you taking me to my destination.

Biossance Revitalizer c/o Biossance: http://sclyt.co.9nl.me/jbtj

Shopping for skincare products has always been something that has been very daunting to me. All those products with all those ingredients you don't understand or know what they do oftentimes gives me a headache in addition to major analysis paralysis. Which subsequently has me walking out of the store with nothing but the dry skin and dark circles I walked in with. But these days, I've added a new moisturizing revitalizer to my daily routine from a new brand called Biossance that is launching June 2015.  Their first product is a revitalizer which is made of a plant derived emollient called Neossance Squalane that replenishes your skin by using a moisturizer that is found naturally in your own body. You only need a few drops to gently rub on your face and neck before your moisturizer and makeup. It's really light, not oily and has a very light fresh smell that's not at all overwhelming. If you're looking for a new moisturizing skin product that's natural and proven to hydrate, check them out here. Happy hydrating!

Alright, I want to preface this by saying that this is not going to turn into a "mommy" blog or "the beauties of pregnancy" blog now. In fact, I actually have very little to say about pregnancy other than everything that you've heard about it is true; especially the sucky parts. But, we all get through it. I do, however, have a lot of thoughts on maternity wear and baby bags, and those thoughts are mostly "yuck". I know everyone is trying to make it all hip with all the side ruching for the belly and extra fabric and Rachel Zoe. But dear god, why is it the second a once young, hip and chic woman gets pregnant she automatically has to buy "mom tops" or "mom pants" or "mom dresses" that are all boxy and paisley and high-watered? Why is she forced to go from carrying her Celine luggage bag to carrying something called a Petunia Pickle Bottom in all patterns of ugly pink and florals? I get it, we need a thousand pockets to keep baby stuff, but I don't get why I have to be reduced to carrying something so ridiculously named and so incredibly vile looking. Can't it just be black with an organizer and a thousand pockets hidden inside? I hit rock bottom when I was shopping for a bathing suit at Nordstrom and the saleslady took me from the cute neon green bikini section to show me something called a "tankini". Ummm, no. Even though it sounds like a cocktail a 22 year old with MTV abs would order on Spring Break at Cabo Wabo, it is SO NOT. So, I've decided to just stuff myself into normal clothes and look like an inappropriate sausage. And there you have it, how I #stylethebump.
