The (f)Unemployed Casualite
We are at the age of the causalite. The hybrid of casual x elite is a phenomenon in itself, with inspiration from Hollywood to cities around the world. They are easy to spot, with seemingly casual apparel with a heavy price tag attached. Sweatpants over $170, lambskin shoe laces around $60, T-shirts for over $100 and exclusive sneakers are all part of deal. They are everywhere and you have seen from from New York to Vegas to Toronto.

They are freelancers, they have their own business, they are celebrities on Instagram and boast of 100K + followers. they are not exactly unemployed but they are between project and contracts. They always have a budding idea and these casualites must be “unemployed”. That means that job have to be fun and in line with their ‘passion’. Programed to be anti corporation and absolute individualists, there are too many people around “making it happen” to not buy into the hype.

But with a room full of wheels and no one who wants to be a spoke, how does this move forward?
Will the future look like 50 year old employees with 24 year old CEOs?

Super Cool DIY Box Subscription @MJProjectDIY
I am really excited about a small boxes of goodies that come in the mail.
The most beautiful one just arrived from my friends at M&J Trimming Project DIY. I received the starter kit that included 2 projects and all the material required to make the Crystal Clear Statement Necklace and the On the Rocks Bracelet Duo.
Since NYC is so cold recently, this collection is perfect way to spend an afternoon inside your cozy home. The Project DIY Team created this project based on the seasonal iridescent colors and frosted textures of winter. Colorful crystals and sparkling metals that you can wear all year round.
Each to the packages come with all the tools and parts. You can get the instructions online or via their app Project DIY. The step by step instructions make it really clear and I laid out all the pieces as the shown. There is a variation on how you can lay out the gems on the necklace.
It took me a little over 30 mins to finish both projects. Can’t wait to wear them on Thurs!

NUTRITIONISTE ULTRA-LIFT @GarnierCAN Transformer Anti-Aging Skin Corrector
My mom was so nice to test out a new Garnier product for me called the Ultra Lift Transformer.
She says, “it is not too oily, nor creamy. It has a trace of scent makes her feel good. Her skin immediately felt smooth and it is not sticky at all”
My mom has beautiful skin and even in her early 60’s she hardly needs makeup, foundation to look absolutely glamorous. This moisturizer comes out white but adapts to your skin tone. You can use it for daily transformation. Experience younger-looking skin from the 1st contact. Upon application, skin is more even, luminous, and fine lines look reduced. Our auto-adjusting formula, with Pro-Retinol and micro-pigments, works over time so that wrinkles look reduced, skin feels firmer, and younger-looking. I hope my skin look great like my mom and grandma when I get to their age.
If you are looking for something lighter than a BB cream and less than foundation, give this new Garnier product a try!

The U-Lite Trolley is Extremely lightweight, very resistant and with an instantly recognizable design, this line is infused as much with fashion trends as it is high-technology.
