There is nothing in the world quite like a nice cold beer. Sam Adams, Sierra Nevada, Peroni, there are so any good ones. I love beer when it's almost about to freeze but it's not quite there yet. You take a sip and it's the most refreshing thing in the universe. We had a talk with The Beer Bunny who's always hopping around looking for the best hoppy beers to share with you. Here are some of the Bunny's top be picks for this Summer.

Keeping It Cool and Casual. 

I feel like I am, and really we all are kissing the Summer of 2017 adios and farewell quite quickly. I don't know about you, but this Summer flashed right by me. I decided to go back from the west coast to the east for a while and that took a lot of my time and energy. Moving is a pain in the ass. I've also gone through a lot of growing pains this year so far which has been both great and terrible at the same time if that makes any sense. As we get older, we realize we don't love the same things we used to and we start realizing what really matters. But like most things in life, the loss of love in a hobby just like in a person is hard. I've lost and gained a lot so far this year and for that I am grateful but left battling a bittersweet sensation.

Hey Nubians, 

Take a look at this super fun fashion editorial of model Nadia Araujo photographed by Arved Colvin-Smith for Hunger Magazine. I like the vibe this editorial has going on: Bold, Vibrant, Beautiful, Fun. I wear bright colors year round, but I like that during Spring and Summer I see more of it in the streets. It literally light up the streets! I get very inspired by that. I believe every person has an inner fashionista waiting to break out. 

I like the mixed patterns and loose silhouettes theme in this editorial. The textures are off the wall! That's something I don't play around with so much and should, mixing textures. Nadia Araujo is also sporting the bold eyeliner beauty trend that has been floating around. It looks so pretty!

I enjoy seeing the movements Nadia Araujo is making while wearing the clothing, it's almost like she's the young, wild and free dancer. It also shows off the volume and details of the garments while they're flying in the air.

Hey Nubians, 

Have You Ever Tried A Chelada?

I've always heard of the Cheleda drink but I only took about 2 sips out of one before. I've drank Bloody Mary's which are a similar drink, but the Chelada uses beer instead of Vodka. I think some of you might really enjoy that! I personally enjoy a nice, cold beer a lot more than Vodka. Casa Modelo has released it's new drink the Modelo Cheleda Tamarindo Picante for Spring/Summer and it's pretty tasty. Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante celebrates traditional Mexican ingredients: Chipotle Peppers and Tamarind - to offer fans of Modelo a spicy yet sweet taste which is a combination everyone enjoys. It's definitely a distinct taste worth giving a shot. Also people swear by them to cure hangovers!

A Chelada is a Mexican alcohol cocktail made with beer, lime juice, and assorted sauces, spices, and peppers. It is served in a chilled glass with Tajin or Salt on the rimm of the glass. Those are the basic ingredients which some people customize. I love that the Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante saves me time by selling the drink in a ready to serve can. 





“We’re thrilled to introduce Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante into the Casa Modelo family,” said Ann Legan, vice president of marketing for Casa Modelo at Constellation Brands. “The sweet flavor of tamarind, combined with the spice of chipotle peppers, delivers a well-balanced taste that honors Modelo’s Mexican roots and provides consumers with a truly unique flavor profile unlike any other chelada beverage offering currently available.”

Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante is produced with an ABV of 3.3%, and is now available at convenience stores nationwide for a suggested price of $2.99 for a 24 oz. can.

Watch this video of George and I trying the Modelo Chelada Tamarindo Picante for the first time and see what we think. It was a lot of fun making this video together and we both enjoyed the drink. 
  

Here are 3 reasons to love the Modelo Cheleda Tamarindo Picante.

1) It's Ready To Serve. No hassling in the kitchen or making a mess. Just purchase a few cans and enjoy with your friends.
2) It helps cure hangovers! People swear by Chelada's as a hangover remedy which is why it's a popular drink to have during the day.
3) It's Sweet, Spicy and Refreshing! Perfect for Spring/Summer. 

If you want to try something new pick one up at a store near you. Remember to drink responsibly!

Nothing Like Some Good Music While You're Relaxing On A Summer Day...

Image via you queen

From hip-pop to pop to alternative. From old to new. My taste in music highly varies. Below please find a short playlist of some of my favorite  Summer songs. You know, the kind of stuff you'd enjoying hearing at a BBQ or pool party while you jones.

The Summer playlist includes new songs from Demi Lovato, Meek Mill, and Omarion... BUT, it also includes classics from The Knife, Biggie, Tupac, Garbage and more. 



Cheers!

Ladies, having manicured nails is so important! Sometimes I feel as if we can easily overlook something as small as our nails if we're not careful. If you really think about it however... everyone can see your hands at all times! So it's important to keep them pretty and make a good impression. Plus, you don't always have to do it for others, do it for yourself!

Here's another few photo I uploaded on my dripthat account. If you remember in my John Frieda and NYC New York Color Beauty Haul post I talked about how I've been enjoying using the new app and it's fun features. I wanted to share some of my favorite brands and colors of nail polishes I'll be rocking this summer. I often do my nails myself (DIY chick) to avoid going to salons every week.

Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Wet n Wild beauty is one of my favorite drugstore brands. I've become a fan of their Wild Shine nail polish line as of lately. So far my favorite colors are Putting on Airs (Blue), Tickled Pink (Baby Pink), Blazed (Orange)


Ruby Kisses Nail Polish - Another cool brand I sort of discovered by accident is Ruby Kisses. I walked into a local pharmacy one day and discovered all of these crazy bright, bold colors for 99 cents! They also go on very nicely. My favorite nail polishes from Ruby Kisses are Tropical Green (lime green), Orange U Over? (bright orange), Teal Envy (goes on like sky blue).


Sally Hansen - I've been using Sally Hansen nail polishes for as long as I can remember. I constantly like to stock up on a lot of their different lines. For this Summer some of my favorites are Regan (blue from the Velvet collection), Peach (light peach from the Triple Shine collection), All Bright (pink from the Xteme wear collection) Cherry Fast (A magenta looking color from the Insta-Dri collection) Velour (A purple from the Velvet collection). Sally Hansen polishes has proven to be very reliable for me over the years. 


L.A. Colors Art Deco Wands - Lastly I always have to have a few Art Deco wands handy. Below you'll see the basic colors white, silver glitter, and black. I like to use these for zebra lines, dots, little flowers, and any other random design I like to think of. 


Those are my favorites for now. My theme is bright, bold, and fun! All of these polishes are so much fantastic and I can tell you from first hand experience that the brands are great and absolutely reliable. 

I can't wait to share some of the fun nail art I make with these polishes with you, cheers!
