Hello my lovelies!
Ahh, it's the little things that make me happy. A few days ago, I hit the 1000 page view mark. I know that sounds like nothing compared to some uber bloggers out there, but considering I don't even have any followers, this is awesome!
So, thanks to all of those who have stumbled across my blog and stayed to read a post or two. I hope to add some new posts soon, but haven't had steady access to a computer lately, so they are a bit overdue.
Hope you all are having a wonderful spring and are not being choked by all of the plant sex in the air (aka pollen).
Happy Monday!
Filakia,
Lexi

Bath time Instafave: Spongeables
Hello my lovelies!
I am SOOOOOOO in love with Spongeables bath sponges, which are infused with shower gel, soaps, and skin care! I heard about this line from LanaIndiana and am so glad that she turned me on to them.
Spongeables are big, scrubby sponges that are infused with rich, creamy lather and amazing fragrances that leave your skin feeling smooth, soft, and smelling wonderful! I found them at Ulta and got the White Rose body sponge and the Pedi-Scrub Foot Buffer in Lavender-Tea Tree Oil. My shower has never smelled so good! I don't want my showers to end!
Happy Friday!

The sponges are not only infused with shower gel and soaps, but also shea butter, olive oil, and other aromatherapy oils. With Spongeables, I am able to cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize, and massage my body.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who loves a nice lather in the bath or who loves any kind of bath product. I am also very picky about smells (I can't stand sickeningly sweet scents), but Spongeables fragrances aren't overwhelming or too strong. They are definitely at the top of my Instafave list!!!
Happy Friday!

7 Deadly Sins Tag
Hello my lovelies!
I have seen this beauty tag going around on YouTube and couldn't resist doing it myself. I tag all of you to complete the questions too!
1. GREED - What is your most inexpensive beauty product? What is your most expensive?
My most inexpensive beauty product is a pair of tweezers that I got at the drug store for 10 cents when I was still in high school. They cost practically nothing and are the BEST tweezers I have ever used.
My most expensive beauty product is a jar of R3P cream by Dr. Brandt, for which I paid about $100. I have quite an unhealthy addiction to skincare, and I couldn’t resist buying myself a jar for Christmas. It’s creamy and dreamy and makes my skin oh-so-soft and wrinkle free!
2. WRATH - What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? What has been hardest to find?
I definitely have a love/hate relationship with hair products. As a curly girl, I have been on the hunt for the perfect styling products all my life! There is usually at least one characteristic about the hair product that I hate, but one characteristic that works for my hair type.
Example: Moroccan oil makes my hair SO shiny, defined, and luxurious…but I can’t stand the smell! Blarg!
A good curly hair styling product has also been incredibly hard to find. I have tried about everything on the market and have settled on Mixed Chicks leave-in conditioner. It gives my curls definition without being sticky or crunchy or leaving a bad smell. There are times when it doesn’t give enough hold, but I’ll take it over sticky hair gel any day!
3. GLUTTONY - What are your most delicious beauty products?
My most delicious beauty products have to be my Spongeables body and foot sponges. They smell divine and give the most luxurious lather! I am definitely addicted and find myself smelling my skin hours later.
4. SLOTH - What beauty product do you neglect due to laziness?
For the past several months, I have totally neglected using eye liner. I am just too lazy to sit still and put it on, and I end up rubbing my eyes throughout the day anyway and smudging it off. Currently, I will only put on eye liner for special occasions. I am such a lazy bum...
5. PRIDE - What beauty product gives you more confidence?
This is a difficult question because there are so many beauty items that make me feel good and help to complete my look. I think that my skin gives me the most confidence, so perhaps all of my skincare products give me confidence too.
6. LUST - What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?
I love a man with good hair! I need something to run my fingers through! I don’t like short hair or unnaturally coiffed hair, but something a little shaggy and natural.
7. ENVY - What item would you most like to receive as a gift?
Hmm…this is a toughy! I love to receive any beauty products, but most particularly from brands that I am obsessed with – like Too Faced, NARS, Laura Mercier, Revlon, essence, etc.
Hope you all enjoyed this little Q and A session. Have a great Friday and weekend!

Birchbox!
Hello my lovelies!
I have just become a Birchbox subscriber!! I am so excited to join the throng of beauty lovers to receive oodles of luxury beauty products every month in the mail. :)
In the next month or so, I look forward to blogging about the new products I get to try!
I really wish that GlossyBox would come to the US (because I love to read about what Louise and Zoe get in their boxes), but, alas, I shall have to wait til that day comes...
Until then, it's Birchbox time!

Sh!t Greek Girls Say
Update: So, apparently, this video has been privatized because the creators of the video have been receiving threatening and negative comments. Come on, people! It's just a light-hearted, funny video! Blerg.

Hello my lovelies!
I'm so sorry I have not written anything in a while. This past month has been super busy for me: working, I moved to a new apartment, etc. It has actually been my New Year's resolution to write at least one blog post per week, so I'm definitely failing at that! Blerg!!
I have LOTS of ideas for future posts, but in the meantime, here's a little video that I recently saw on YouTube that I think is SO funny:
One of the girls in the video, Zaharoula Katsikis, also has a pretty cool design blog called DIY Diaries. You should definitely check her out!
Happy Friday!!
