these are a few of my favorite things...

rain drops on roses, and whiskers on women...
oh sorry, that's not the words?
no but srsly...speaking of whiskers on women...have you seen the preview for "the vampire's apprentice" or something like that? Selma Hayek has a freakin, straight up BEARD in it. matches her unibrow quite nicely.




anyway, as i was saying, here is a list of my FAVORITE things at the moment...



1. cover girl outlast lip color in "cherry popped".

i can't make these things up...it is straight up called "cherry popped". sicktothenast, but all kinds of awesome. now, i was quite skeptical when i heard that the lip color could "outlast" major obstacles throughout the day...but hey, i am a sucker, so i bought it anyway. DUDE. it is amazing. I put it on at 1:00 PM and it lasted until 11:00 PM. Seriously. NO re-applying...it pretty much dominated. Get yourself some...




2. freakin cardboard edward in mi madre's casa.

first, it is all kinds of awesome that my mom owns him...seeing is my mom is older than dirt. secondly, when i was over at her house yesterday i literally jumped with fright every time i entered the room he was in. i thought there was a bad guy in the house. naah...just a cardboard hawt vampire.




3. my berry colored tights.

i originally bought a pair of tights in the same color at Express for 35 dollars (yes...35 bones for a pair of tights) but then saw a similar pair at Target for 6 bones. needless to say, i bought the target ones. everyone go get some colored tights (skip express) and look super chic for fall!




4. checking in on zac efron
i won't lie to you. i check a zac efron fansite at least once a week, just to see what he is up to. yes...strange...but hey, it aint no thing. but seriously, for the last couple weeks i haven't found anything new on him. i almost thought he was dead for a while there. i lamented on twitter, and my followers just told me he was depressed because i love paul wesley's abs. probably true. anyway...i found him today...

looks like he has a little doggy friend. cute.
and for good measure, i will throw in Mr. October of his new calendar...




5. this picture is the best thing i have ever seen.
please. love it with me.
ted rules my life. he has fangs! he has faaaaaaangs!



and last but not least....



6. i love peeing when i am wearing a skirt.

i am not kidding around, folks. it's the best thing ever.
all you have to do is pull it up, and go!

see, it's a party up in da baaaathroooom!

no excuse me...i will enjoy a good pee now....you know...without the hassle.








yes. i just posted a picture of me on the toilet.

Lauren, who is Ted almost-biting in that picture? I thought it was you when I looked at it very quickly but now I'm not so sure. And also-also, I am now mortally afraid of the Ted-vamp. He could give D(e)amon a run for his money in that pic!

Annie said...

Oh yeah, and ... FIRST! (It's been a while!)

Nat said...

i am scared to try red lipstick....although i really want to.


yay for colored tights! i am also scared of these but be sure that i will be purchasing several pairs....for dance and they may end up in my daily wardrobe. who knows.

you are awesome!

KatOfDiamonds said...

Bahahaha! This post was amazing!

And I might just hafta visit Target soon-ish =]

Samantha said...

love this and i think its sarah michelle gellar

Allison said...

Are you really peeing? I have discovered that trick too- my grandma taught it to me so I wouldn't take off my whole dress to pee! Silly 4 year old Allison. :D

Well- I LOVE the tights and the lipstick. I'm gonna go get me some.

And I definitely love me some Zac. I can see him saying "Happy Birthday Allison" during October... and then we'll ride his motorcycle. Oh yeah. :D

Stacey said...

I'm too chicken to try red lipstick. On you it's the bomb!

I love the pictures.. and I love how you get dressed up to go to the bathroom. That's super. :P

Katie said...

I bought some red lipstick to wear on my birthday this year because I love the idea of it...but I think it looked sicknast on me. Sad day. However I LOVE the way that disturbingly named cherry popped lipstick looks in your picture so I may drop some more money to give the red thing another go.

Or is it just a bad idea altogether since I come from an olive-skinned family?

Also...can we please to be discussing Hunger Games/Catching Fire in great detail soon?

Marci Darling said...

First of all, love the red lipstick. i'm terrified to try it, but you look fantastic!

And Ted with fangs...bahahhaa.

and I love the tights...I want some, but seeing as how I'm fashion-imparied...can you tell me what to wear them with?!

and the last picture is one of the reasons we all love you so much!

p.s. Nancy Face with the cardboard Edward--you have the coolest mom in the history of the world

Jen said...

Lauren, you are too funny!
Thanks for the tip, I am so getting that listick! and maybe some colored tights if I don't chicken out. :)
I so want me a cardboard Edward! Your mom is the shiz.
Is Tedward getting ready to bite 'Buffy'?
So did Ted think it was 'unwholesome' that you posted pics of you on the toilet or that your lipstick is called "cherry popped"?

uhski said...

She & Him = love

Adam and Nicole said...

"Cherry Popped" huh? Thats.......interesting
So I bet your mom loved that you called her "older than dirt." Ah who cares, she runs with Vampires who are older than dirt, so why not!
I wish I was brave enough to wear red lipstick and berry colored tights, but......I'm not. It looks good on you though.

Britney Jean said...

i'm buying that lip gloss. no lie.

peeing in a skirt is the bestest.

and i'm stealing your shower curtain. even though i don't need one. but i love it. so there.

Lauren Elizabeth Crazypants said...

haha LOVE it!
especially peeing in a skirt. so simple.

Jaydey17 said...

ROFL at Ted's fangs! That is hilar.
Oh and I'm going out to buy that lipstick.
I've worn red lipstick once and it bled so I've been on the lookout for a good one but I'm the type who likes to buy make up I know will be worth it's money. And now you've given me one!
Also I never got why people loved Zefron soooooo much.
Then I watched 17 Again last week. Now I know.

Alexandria said...

Cherry popped? That is a total fail in the branding department...but you rock the red lips well. I am TOO scared to even try.

I am wicked jealous of your mama's Edward! Nancy Face rocks...

Oh and um hi. Can I move into your bathroom? That shower curtain is the love o' my life!! Peeing in a skirt is awesome...unless one has Spanx on under the skirt!!

Mrs. Organic said...

I may just have to give that lipstick a try (as long as it doesn't shrivel up your lips). Except since I'm old as dirt I probably can't do the red without looking like a cougar.

That pic of your Tedward is AWESOME.

heidi lou said...

I wish I could pull of colored tights! for reaal.

My roommate in Provo had a Zac Efron cardboard stand up. it was HOT. But it scared the crap out of me every night when I got home.

Amber W. said...

Yay for favorites! Lovin' the lipstick! Maybe my hubby wouldn't mind me wearing fun colors like that if he knew he wouldn't end up wearing them. I may have to try that Cover Girl product you speak of...

Lindsay and Dano said...

Hahaha oh Lar you are wonderful! You look so much like your mom in the lips picture. I had to do a double take!! Your lips are very luscious in that pic by the way!

Heather said...

Love the lip gloss! Love the tights!

I dig the pictures of Zac. He is really a good looking guy!

I love the skirt. Totally cute!

Carter @ The Kitchenette said...

You know, I'm not really a lipstick type of girl, but I may have to try that shizz out, because it looks hella cute.

Also, I may have just used "ain't no thing" on my blog. Don't worry, I quoted you, bb, just so everyone will know I'm not that cool on my own haha.

chazandamber said...

First off u totally rock that lipstick! Im loving your skirt and completely agree how easy it is! And im sure you already know but your bathroom is way cute! Cute post BT-Dub!

Lauren said...

I can't believe you all like my bathroom. I lament it's hideousness.

Melissa said...

You posing on the toliet... ridiculous. Just saying.

Lauren said...

should i be sad that i look ridiculous?

Marci Darling said...

wait...is that supossed to be sarah michelle gellar in that picture of the Tedward?

Natalie said...

yo yo yo check it outtttttttttt i love you. and i'm not gonna lie..peeing in a skirt doesn't beat the way boys have it made. sunday dress or not, they just unzip and go. i mean..they can pee standing up. i dont care how sicko-ish i sound. that is convenient.

Lil' Woman said...

Peeing in a skirt is pretty good!
Sometimes I forget I have a skirt on and try to pull it down but then I catch myself and smile and just pull it up : )lol

Molly said...

Ah, Lauren, people wonder why I love you and your blogs so much . Alas, they shall now know.

Lula! said...

I will run right out and get some Cherry Popped now...because it's so hard for me to find a wearable red...you know, fair hair and all. But it looks FAB on you, therefore it would look less than heeeeeeeedious on me. (Meaning--I can carry it off with my blonde, soon-to-be strawberry blondish hair.)

Um...do I LOVE that Ted is biting Buffy Summers? I do. Duh.

You're hot on the potty. I bet Zac is, too.

amanda leeann said...

adore your red lipstick and colored tights! i just might have to purchase some.

occupying the loo is rather easy in a skirt. props for posting those photos!

Meghan O said...

this post is genius. I'm laughing at 8:10 in the morning =D

the lipstick is super cute
Nancy Face is the bomb due to cardboard Edward
the tights are adorable
where has Zefron been all my life?
hahaha to ted with fangs
and finally i can not believe you posted a pic of yourself on a toilet!! All kinds of hilarious thank you HAHAH

Yvonne said...

Love the pic of Ted.

The tights look so cute on you.

Jenn said...

First of all I LOVE that your mom has a life-size cardboard Edward in her living room. I think your mom could be the coolest mom ever! :)

Second - I love your tights! I was just at Target this weekend w/my BFF and we both agreed that we would look all kinds of hideous in tights...even though we love them! You are lucky that you can wear them and look good doing so!

Evan said...

Is that a wax Sarah Michelle Gellar? Hahahaahaa!

omar said...

So maybe I'm showing my ignorance here, but... um, what about underwear?

Jessicia said...

Laur... Where did you get your shower curtain? It is tres cute!!!

Bekah said...

you on the toilet?

unwholesome

Bekah said...

(did I guess right? is that what the Tedward was complaining about?)

JustRandi said...

Omar - I think she's implying that she just goes commando! ;)

I'm a huge fan of the 14 hour lipstick too! Even though it really only lasts about 6 hours!

Ann Marie said...

Yay! I have worn covergirl outlast for 9 years! I LOVE it.. but usually re-apply lip gloss lots..to make it shiny! I may have to go for red! We'll see!

That picture of TED going to bite buffy is AMAZING!!!!

I don't think I could wear colored tights.. they look great on you.. but I would for sure feel foolish.. and 10 years old instead of 35.

LOVE the dress your wearing on the toilet.. Even..if..it's..touching..the....
toilet..

Allen and Ashlyn said...

i luuuuaaahhhhvvvvve. colored tights. so fall. so chic. i'm in love. and i need.

Alexa Mae said...

45th commenter!! Woo!
First, hello gorgeous!! Love the outfit of you on the toilet. And that lipstick with that hair= Lush!! You are darling. And cardboard edward always makes me laugh. Love you long time!! Happy Monday!!

Nancy Face said...

"Raindrops on roses, and whiskers on women..."

YOUR MOM has whiskers.

Nick & Kristin said...

Love me some fun tights. Hate me some ugly zac efron dog...

Hmmm? said...

Well, either the others are right and you are going commando....or in your eagerness to not have to pull anything down, you just pee through your undies!

Busy Bee Lauren said...

I am NOT actually peeing in that picture. That would be sicknast.

Look...the lid isn't even up.

omar said...

My underwear question was with regards to the "pull up and go" statement, not to the picture. Just for clarification.

Sarie Lou said...

A few years ago I made a life size doll of my friend. I was making her a scrapbook of pics of us and I didn't have enough pics so I made the doll, took pics with it and finished up the scrapbook. Every time I would come into the living room,the doll would scare me so she lived in a closet until my friend's birthday. I brought her the doll and scrapbook. She was pretty entertained. My friend was living in a sorority at the time and the doll proceeded to make apperances in random people's rooms and beds! Great entertainment. At least Cardboard Edward hasn't appeared in your shower...

Jenni said...

As I love your blog so (and don't comment enough to tell you), I thought I'd drop by to let you know that I'm doing a giveaway on my blog for a free year subscription to Fitness magazine. Check it out - it's a deal you don't want to miss (I swear!)

Mikaela said...

way cute outfit!

Brittany and Johnse said...

I love that on any day I read your blog you can make me laugh or smile...thank you!

Klin said...

I totally noticed that the lid is down!

What are you reading? Perty dress, too.

I want a cardboard Edward.

Love the lipstick and the tights. Wonder if they have a color that looks good on me (lipstick)? Hmmmm.

Marianne said...

Love the lipstick!! I must get some!

Second, cardboard Edward rules, and if your madre is older that dirt I am older that rocks...or something!

Third, You faked us out! there are no undies around your ankles! Unless you were going all Brittney on us!

Higgs Happenin's said...

I really thought that girl was real, until I realized she's not. and probably made of wax. I wish I could look that pretty peeing with a skirt myn is usually bunched up around my head.

whitney said...

1. I just listened to Mary Poppins. Just so you know.

2. I'm too scared to try bright lipstick on myself. Looks fab on you though.

3. I love Zefron.

4. I seriously wanted to get a cardboard Edward just to scare my roommates. Although it would turn on me and scare me too. No doubt.

Melissa said...

No you look great on the toilet. I really like your skirt. But I love thinking about the fact that you called Ted and got him to take pictures of you sitting on the toilet pretending to go in a skirt. I think its ricidiculous... in a good way.

Karina said...

umm lauren you are kind of amazing. and have reallyyy cool superpowers like peeing with your skirt on. :)

L&S said...

I have those same black shoes! twins! we must have good taste...

Jadyn said...

Oh gracious! This post cracks me up! You brighten my life Lauren,and I don't even know you.
~Jadyn

erin said...

this is the second time this week i have heard talk about this amazing outlast lipstuff! thats it. youve convinced me.

Nyssa said...

are you reading the Historian in the bathroom?? If so I will say congratulations that you have found my absolute fave vampire book :)

Angela said...

LOVE it. Love it all. And I'm wondering if there's rules about red lipstick. It looks gorgeous on you... me not so much. Maybe only blonds can pull it off? Though I have seen brunettes that it looks good on. Hmmm... things to ponder.

Camille Elise said...

I'm sure someone said this already, but, my favorite part about your "toilet picture" is that Ted is the one that took the picture. Okay, I don't know Te--your husband, but, I think it's funny that someone's husband would take a picture of them on the toilet. Okay, maybe not so funny when you read it. It sounded funny in my head. Props to you for being brave enough to post it! :)
