Reposting Inspiration from Marc
I love Marc Jacobs, and this article by Highsnobiety is such an inspiration, I must repost it here! Marc's history and love for fashion is refreshing! To hear you don't have to have a signature look, that you can be a chameleon changing with your mood, is just what I need.
This article gives me life! Check it out and let me know what you think. As you know, I adore it!

How much can a home really cost over 30 years?
New Video HERE
How much does a home really cost over 30 years?
Thought the condo i was looking at would cost $542,000, after 30 years, will actually, in full, cost $1.2 Million!!!
I looked up how much the interest would be over 30 years at 3% and I am shocked. bankrate.com has an easy Amortization Calculator, which breaks down monthly payments and interest costs, and tells you the total interest you will end up paying. Redfin can estimate for you how much insurance and taxes will cost. Bankrate doesn’t add in Mello Roos, Taxes, or HOA, so I am going to do that here.
Not a sponsored video
Banks make so much money off loans!! Is it better to rent or buy? You decide.

What about for $200,000? Would you rather get a 4 Bedroom/4Bathroom House with 2,700 Square Feet, or a 2 Bedroom/2 Bathroom Mobile Home?
I understand, location is everything. But, for a little more than a half a million dollars, you could have a business in Jamestown, or a house in San Diego.

Staying at Home, Week 5 in Los Angeles
What have I been up to? Check it out!
I've been making the pizza dough Molly Yeh recommends, Making BBQ chicken pizza, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, using the Carolina Gold BBQ sauce from Trader Joe's.
Alex has been sewing face masks, we found the pattern here: https://hellosewing.com/face-mask-sewing-pattern/
Using the Rifle Paper Co fabric, chevron, zebra, and more.
Time lapse of us making the pizza's, Alex's is first out of the oven.
I tie dyed a t-shirt ombre, and a sweater into clouds!! Even toms shoes, too.
I had ramen for lunch more than once, and the Winchell donuts were super fresh!!
When I redid the sisal part of the cat tree, I edited a tribute to Molly Yeh in there.
I am reading Crystals for Beginners and Love is in the Earth.
I started writing my cookbook after reading Jen Sincero's You Are A Badass, and I want to model my cookbooks after Ina Garten.
My aero garden has a lot of flowers and we will have tomatoes soon!!
So proud of myself for vlogging for 35 days straight!!
What are you up to during quarantine??

Shelter In Place, Week 3 Los Angeles
Days 16-21, April 4th - 9th, 2020
What we have been up to during the covid-19/corona virus safer at home order in Los Angeles.
We have been sewing, making pizza, ramen, and I got my IPSY! I unbox my Ipsy samples for April, and 3 out of the 5 products were FULL SIZE! The total came out to over $61.00 and Ipsy is only $10/month. Also, they come with cute, small bags, too! I use the HELIOS Livin' Lovely nail polish that came with my bag for my manicure.
I teach you how to make rice krispy treats:
6 Cups Cereal
4 Cups Marshmallows (or Peeps - we are in a quarantine, people!!)
3 Tbsp. Butter
The fabric we used for the pillows is from Rifle Paper Co. and Anna Bond is the designer. You can find her work here: https://riflepaperco.com/home-decor/f...
We made a vegan bbq chicken pizza using Quorn chck'n and Trader Joe's Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce. SOOOO GOOD!
We ended the week playing Tee Bowling - we setup golf tees as bowling pins and try to knock 'em down!

Shelter In Place, Week 2 in Los Angeles, CA
Days 7-15, March 26 - April 3, 2020
What we have been up to during the covid-19/corona virus safer at home order.
We found yeast at the grocery store and decided to try to make pizza dough and focaccia bread.
Molly Yeh of The Food Network suggested Jim Lahey's No Knead Pizza Dough: https://food52.com/recipes/16641-jim-lahey-s-no-knead-pizza-dough-margherita-pie
And we love Samin, of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on Netflix, her Focaccia Bread is here: https://www.saltfatacidheat.com/fat/ligurian-focaccia
Shoutout to Shelby Church, that woman's videos are beautifully edited! You can see her here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk4JRieDWFk
Who is the blogger/person who created the easy face mask from a bandana idea? It is not mine, I saw it on the news, but was unable to get the blogger's name. They just said it was a great idea, but didn't repeat her name! Help me out and let me know who she is in the comments below. This face mask made from just a bandana and two hair ties is GENIUS! She needs to be recognized!
I know it's not super protective, but the Mayor of LA has requested people wear face coverings when out. He said they do not have to be N95, or the medical masks, but just something covering our nose and mouth.
This can work with just a piece of fabric, and maybe a safety pin, if the fabric is slippery.

Shelter In Place LA, Week 1
Los Angeles's Shelter In Place order for the CoVid-19 Epidemic was announced on March 19th, and started March 20th. My Last day of marketing for my small company was the 20th.
We found a cool metal desk we repainted and are going to use as a table behind our couch. We make food at home like chicken parm (Sorry, no finished photos, I ate it!), tacos, and BLT's.
Walking around LA was crazy because I felt like I could walk in the street safely. No one was out. We went to the park, and I was able to get some fresh air, and Alex chipped/golfed into a bucket while everyone stayed far away from each other.
I love Kanoodle, do you???????
We played Monopoly, and I won, TWICE!
We also headed up the PCH to Neptune's Net, where we got take out and ate with the trunk open, facing the Pacific Ocean.
Also, with everyone stuck inside, I tried to record and post an extra long segment of the drive down the coastline, back to Santa Monica from Malibu.
I've been ending my evenings with a facial and a bath. I have a lot of facemasks. Everything from peel masks, to mud, to clay, to sheet masks - I have a lot and I need to go through them. So, I've decided to try to do one a day - is it too much? We will see! My skin is super sensitive, but everything I am using does not irritate my skin, so we will see how it goes. So far, so good for week one of the quarantine!!
I hope you all are taking care of yourselves and those around you.

Power Outage, Still Using The Stovetop
The power went out in Los Angeles, but I am hungry.
Let's use the gas stove to make lunch. I'm making my version of the Korean Ramen I get at the K-Spa (the Olympic Spa) and endamame. The ramen has egg, carrots, onion, and chili oil.
Grab your forks because my Tiny Test Kitchen is now open!!
