Gift Giving to my Roommates!

Gift giving is one of my favorite parts about Christmas! I was given the opportunity to choose gifts from karmaloop.com. My awesome roomies Amy and Julian were well deserving for these gifts. I couldn't ask for better roommates :) Huge thank you to Karmaloop for sponsoring the gifts. Before this video was filmed Amy and Julian knew they were getting items from karmaloop, but they didn't know what we chose. 

My picks for Amy:

  - Joyce Coat by Jack BB Dakota

  - Malinda Dress by Jack BB Dakota

  - Iconic Crystal Circular Studs by Betsey Johnson

  - Sol Top by NYC Boutique

 Benji's picks for Julian:

  - Thunder Hightop Sneakers by Supra

  - VTC Tee by RVCA

  - Top Persuit True jeans by LRG

Straightening Benji's Hair

This was out of pure fun and curiosity! I asked Benji if I can striaghten his hair before he cuts. He was a great sport about it, up until I started straightening ;) I took some screen shots to sum up the process. You can check out the video at the end.

You can already see the fear in his eyes

Look how curly his hair is!

Tada!

Was hoping to look like Justin Bieber, lol

So Benji ended up loving this look. So much for straightening his hair! haha

San Jose Meet and Greet

Benji and I were in San Jose for my cousin's wedding in late October. We thought it would be fun to do a meet and greet while we were down there. The meeting place was California Pizza Kitchen at Valley Fair Mall. I had an awesome time with lunch, fun conversations, lil bit of shopping, and making new friends :) Check out these photos and a quick video.

These girls are whats up! We must have taken 50 shots of this same photo! haha

Props to all the supportive boyfriends/ husbands! They were talking about starting "Boyfriends of Youtube Addicts Club" Lol
