Rachel's Recommendations

I was inspired by friend, Natalie Hill's Hit List that she does monthly for Studio 5. It is a list of things she is currently obsessed with. I thought, why not share what I'm currently obsessed with too! So, here you go. Just a few things I can't get enough of right now.

TINKLE RAZORS:

A few months ago, I tried threading my eyebrows for the first (and last) time. It was the most painful hair removal process I've ever experienced, but my eyebrows looked so damn good afterwards, that I was tempted to go back. Never again thanks to these little guys. They are a godsend! They aren't painful AT ALL and they work wonders. I've had them used on me on set before, but forgot all about them until my cute cousin, Ashley, posted a video on how to use them on her YouTube channel. One of the best parts is that they are so cheap! I got a 3-pack on Amazon for about $3 and free shipping. Not only are they great for your brows, but for other peach-fuzz on your face. I use them for my unruly sideburns as well (thanks genetics). Get into it!

MAYBELLINE COLORSENSATIONAL MATTE LIPSTICK

This is another Ashley find....(hint: you should follow her!). I'm a sucker for a good matte lip. These gems have great color, don't feel too cakey on my lips, I like how they smell, and they won't break the bank. I have 4 out of the 10 shades and will probably end up with all of them. In the photo above, I'm wearing: top left- Daringly Nude; top right-Touch of Spice; bottom left-Mesmerizing Magenta; and bottom right-Divine Wine (I think cosmetic color names are hysterical). This line in matte hasn't been stocked at Target yet (get with it, Target!) I got mine at Walgreens, but I believe they also have them at Ulta. 

HOUSE OF CARDS

If you're looking for a new series to binge watch, PICK THIS!!!! Actually, you should stop whatever you are watching and start this. Even if you end up not liking the story (which it is amazing so you're weird if you hate it), you should continue watching it for the acting alone. It is honestly like watching a master class for film acting. Don't get me started on my love for Robin Wright.....we're not worthy! The format is fun too. There are moments when Kevin Spacey's character talks directly into the camera with little asides and I love it. WARNING: it is a Netflix series so there are no rules when it comes to content. There are some sexy time scenes and some F bombs. So you've been warned.....but it's soooo gooooood! 

BLACK SHEEP CAFE

My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. It's located in downtown Provo and has a nice cozy atmosphere. But the FOOOOD! It is all locally sourced, organic, and it is made from scratch. The prices reflect that, but they aren't over the top. Tip: go for lunch. It's basically the same menu, but lower prices. I ordered the Red Chili Beef Navajo Taco and it was out of this world tasty. How can perfectly cooked beef, topped with fixin's, red chili sauce, on a bed of fry bread be bad? It can't be. I hear the Sweet Potato Fries are killer. Try the Cactus Pear Lemonade while you're there too. Delicious! Check out their menu HERE!

That's it for now. Let me know if you try any of these things and what you think!
