Project Bootylicious: SoulCycle, I Just Want to Ride You All Night
Up until very recently, I had no idea what SoulCycle was. I mean, I KNEW it was a spinning class in New York, as I follow a bunch of bad-ass beauty editors/publicists on Twitter and they’re always raving about SoulCycle and their #beautyspin, but I had never “spun” before, and all the studios were in NYC so I just wrote it off.
And then I found SoulCycle was opening up a location in Los Angeles. Color me excited. And slightly terrified. Because guess what? I knew that once SoulCycle opened, my very first spin class was going to happen.

The Best of Hairroin: Tooth Jeweling & a DIY Blow Dry + Braid Bar!
The other day I headed to a damn kick-ass event, the “Best of Hairroin,” in which Hairroin Salon showcased some of the most sought-after beauty trends right now for stylists and beauty bloggers. Hairroin Salon is owned by former Shear Genius contestant and current Sebastian Professional spokesperson Janine Jarman, who is kind of a badass (and has agreed to give me my Vikki Blows haircut next week! OH MY GOD!!)

OMG Must Have: Vikki Blows’ Hair
My hair is a mess. Not a hot, sexy, just-got-out-of-bed-mess, but a grown out, 3 inches of roots, bangs no-longer-existent, in dire need of a haircut mess. I’d show you, but it’d scare you. It has gotten to such a grave condition for several reasons, a main one being that I just had no idea what to do with my hair. It’s the longest it’s EVER been in a solid 17 years, and I have no idea how to style long, thick hair. I had no idea what to do with it, until I came across THIS:

PLEASE STOP WEARING FROSTY LIPGLOSS; IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE SOMEONE CAME ON YOUR MOUTH AND YOU FORGOT TO CLEAN IT UP
Do I even have to continue writing this post? The title should say it all. If for some lucky reason you’ve never come across this phenom, “Cumgloss” refers to wearing a lipgloss that is so frosty and viscous in finish that it makes you look like you have a mouthful of jizz. A general rule of thumb is the darker your skin tone, the cummier the gloss looks (the Kardashians & Jersey Shore girls are huge “cumgloss” aficionados).
Xtina wearing a rather matte version of cumgloss. So thick and creamy!

BOTOX FOR MY BLOG
Hey pretty. You’re probably looking for So Much Pretty! Guess what: you’ve found it! Unfortunately, it no longer exists the way you remember it. I was VICIOUSLY HACKED and lost all of the links to my SMP blog posts (although if you’re seriously jonesing for a So Much Pretty! fix, I still have hard copies of all of my older posts).
After 3 years of blogging under the “So Much Pretty!” moniker, I decided to change the name of my site to “OMG, Bren!” This is obviously the cooler option, as it has my actual name in it and matches all of my social media usernames. Additionally, the scope of my content has changed so much that it feels like a much better fit. Please excuse the mess as I give the site a mini-makeover and some cosmetic touch-ups. It’ll be just like new in no time.
xoxoxo BESOS!
