So last month I spent a weekend in the Hamptons for one of my best friend’s bachelorette party. It was great to see everyone and even better that we were all under one roof (14 of us in total) in the house we rented. It reminded us of our college days and living in our sorority house. Best part was being able to share everyone’s makeup, clothes, and everything else that was packed (clearly way too much for one weekend – I’m thinking 5 packs of Sour Patch Kids may not have been necessary). We all left with lists of things that we couldn’t wait to purchase/download for ourselves. Here are some tips that we helped each other discover:
Mac highlighter – Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish Powder: As if I needed a new highlighter in my life…well I do, and it’s this one!
Vita Coco water – So apparently this can help cure any, err…rough morning. When I think of the drink, I can’t help but think of Sacha Baron Cohen in The Dictator, which is why I already knew it “contains more potassium then you’ll find in two bananas”, thanks Admiral General Aladeen…
X-Mini – II Capsule Speaker – This little guy was great to have by the pool as well as indoors for blasting tunes. Available in a variety of colors for just $25.
Jennifer Zeuner Addison (Love) Bracelet – I fell in love with it after seeing my friend Jillian sport it. I’m thinking it could also look cute with a couple of Jennifer Zeuner’s other delicate bracelets. Best part is it’s adjustable for different size wrists! Would be a great gift for a husband to buy for his wife. A husband that’s proud of his wife’s new blog, just saying…
Nasty Gal shopping website – Horrible name, cute clothes. Picture trendy, going out clothes at Urban Outfitters prices. I was already given this tip prior to the weekend from one of the other girls while we were on our quest for black dresses. I chose the Striped Mesh Peplum Dress and she chose the Peplum Party Dress and we were really happy with our purchases! But seriously though, what’s with the name?! Don’t go on this site while at work or your IT department may think you’re shopping for something else…
Cry (Just a Little) by Bingo Players – It was definitely the soundtrack for the weekend. Download today if it’s not already on your playlist.
Tanks – I wanted to note that we had the tanks seen at the top made by my friend’s printing, promotional, and marketing company, MRL Printing, as a surprise to the bachelorette. The style I went with were the Gildan Ultra Cotton Tank, which ended up fitting great as bathing suit cover ups! To order for your next party, visit www.mrlpromotions.com.
Hope it’s been helpful!
