March is always filled with madness- good and bad- in more ways than just basketball games. In LA, the sun finally came out and it gave us that taste of summer we so needed. March felt like a letter goodbye to winter and a smiley hello to spring.

These are some different things I loved this March.

For that Creative Energy:

Get Glittery – In the words of Emma Mercury, “I don’t even really consider glitter to be makeup, it’s more an accessory, or maybe it’s a lifestyle. The trick is to apply just enough that you look like a mysterious celestial babe and not like a five year old in a craft cabinet- unless it’s a music festival, then its required to roll naked in glitter before you head out the  door.”

 

Get On Pinterest– It’s not just a website for 40 year old moms to make arts and crafts projects for their eight year old kid, I promise. When I feel trapped inside my own head I have a need to create. Pinterest is filled with DIY Projects from funky hair styles to home improvement to jewelry making- anything category you can think of, Pinterest has it.

For the Soul:

Hamilton Road – Ducktails

Rum Rage – Sticky Fingers

Ode to Viceroy – Mac Demarco

Gold (Flume Re-Work) – Chet Faker

Is This Sound Okay? – Coconut Records

Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield

Let’er Go – The Pesos

Love Yourz – J. Cole

Kiss Me Again – The Drums

Villanova Junction (Live at Woodstock) – Jimi Hendrix

For the Body:

Having to balance school, friends, family, work, and a social life can be stressful. Having to balance that while being sick make it 100x harder.

This month these things helped me push through and get shit done:

Lululemon Energy Bra – I will never shut up about how incredible the quality of Lululemon products are because they just get better and better (but this bra is like a regular sports bra on crack). It’s perfect for yoga, running, gym, & hiking.

S’well Bottle – You’ve probably seen these everywhere, but I promise they are so worth the pricey cost. After listening to my friends rave about their bottle and seeing them in every outdoors store I go into, I finally gave into the trend and bought a hot pink bottle. I’ve put ice water in it at 9 A.M. one day and it was the exact same temperature one day later. So great for girls on the go.

Yoga with Adriene – Whether you’re a yogi or a newcomer, this girl makes loads of videos that are super helpful to anyone. Her videos are a great way to start or end your day. I recommend her 30 day yoga challenge. All you need now are some comfy clothes and a yoga mat.

For the Mind:

Milk and Honey: Your average Edgar Allen Poe poem puts me to sleep. Rui Kaur’s first novel Milk and Honey put me to tears. This book is beautifully written and will make any girl feel immediate love and empathy for the authors struggles, while empowered by her strength. The simple yet incredible little illustrations add to the text immensely.

 

Flowers- Go out and appreciate nature. You’ll fall in love with the blends of the blooming spring flowers. Notice how each flower is different. Don’t pick any, just look. Appreciation without possession.

For Your Style:

One Pieces- One pieces are making a huge comeback and I am so down with it. They are classy, sporty, and sexy all at the same time. I really like open back, cheeky ones. Asos has a super unique selection.

Denim- Denim skirts, denim jeans, denim shorts, denim jacket…you can’t go wrong.

Funky Socks- My friend Jo Anna is always rocking the most wild pair of mens socks and Vans,  somehow coming off as a trendy skater. Urban Outfitters is a great place to up your sock game.
