As this post goes live, I will currently be en route to the Google offices down in Venice Beach for a field trip for work. Fun! The 2-hours+ sitting in traffic it takes to get there during rush hour? No fun! On top of it, it’s hot. Like scorching, dry, icky hot. I thought this was fall?? I guess this extreme weather gives me an excuse to wear this pretty dark floral Billabong romper I picked up during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale a couple months ago. I absolutely love the back-tie details and I mean, how cute does it look with a hat and booties? C’mon SoCal, bring on that heat!

In other news, I did the dumbest thing this past weekend. So, knowing full well I have severe skin sensitivity to tea tree oil, I still decided to dot some on a few blemishes in hopes it would help make them disappear. Well, the zits did disappear but my chin broke out in a bright red, itchy rash. Saturday it was really bad- luckily I had leftover hydrocortisone type of cream from my last allergic reaction to tea tree oil and spent the day applying that to my poor chin. The redness has pretty much since subsided.. .I don’t think I’ll ever put tea tree oil on again. Which is such a bummer because it works so well!

Do you ever do things you know you really shouldn’t, but do anyways? Maybe like when I picked up this fringe bag at Target the other day 😛
