Short weeks feel especially long after you’ve been on vacation the previous two. I’m welcoming this Friday with open arms. This week was pretty awesome, though. I met Taraji Henson at the Michigan Ave MAC store this week when she launched her collection.  There was also the RHONY reunion and I updated my DVR for all of the upcoming fall shows. Yes, my name is Laurie and I watch a lot of TV. Here are a few other things worth noting from this week!

312

Indie craft expo Renegade descends on Division Street in Wicker Park this weekend.   Be there! Ya know, if you’re local and can.

BEAUTY

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I’m actually looking forward to Monday. If only because the Supers are coming!

BODY

My diet has been so wonky with vacation, summer laziness and just general bad habits. Diving head first into the goop roundup of breakfast bowl recipes.

BEING

Don’t ‘save’ happiness for when things are easier and calmer (because they might never be)…this advice and a pretty kickass list of ways to feel happier and calmer when you only have 10 minutes.

BROWSE

This before and after of Stella’s brows after a YEAR of growing them out is inspiration.

Have a great weekend!
