GIFT GIVING TIPS
I pride myself on being a good gift giver. Even if you don't know a person too well, if you pick out cool, unique gifts, you too can be a good gift giver (GGG?). Here are a few tips for giving good gifts:
1. Instead of one big gift, a few smaller gifts look better. For special occasions like birthdays and Christmas, I like to get an eclectic mix of three little gifts. It's easy to put together in a store like Anthropologie or Urban Outfitters (a store that sells nice quality novel items).
2. Pick unique gifts that are as relevant to the recipient as possible. Do they like to write? Notecards are a good pick. Do they like food? A chic cookbook. You get the idea.
3. If you don't know the recipient (like a Secret Santa-type situation) go generic, but nice generic. By generic I meant in the creativity of the gift. Pick a fancy candle that you would like for yourself, but have to be generous. Easy to maintain plants are nice too, actually. Succulent plants are great gifts.
4. Don't be afraid to make your own gifts! It's really inexpensive to give homemade food as a gift. Cake mix in a jar, homemade jam, a pretty bracelet-- I would love to receive all of those things tbh.
I don't know, use your imagination!
Now go buy great gifts! xo

New Music Post
These songs are new to me and I figure I'd let you in on what I'm listening to these days. It's pretty electronic and hip hop.
I hope you like!

Instead of watching CNN, BOW.
Rihanna is our hero here at Alicia and Layla headquarters. "Rude Boy" was my ringtone for years and she's pretty much flawless in our eyes (save for gross Chris Brown dramz). I don't have much to say about this except it is just ratchet flawlessness incarnate. Honestly, based on the snippets I've heard, this is the first Rihanna album that I would actually buy. The first song, "Fresh Off the Runway" had me DYING. It's all so, so good. The Chris Brown song (ugh) is even okay, but not the best on there. Seriously Rihanna, well done.
I am so thankful for this because it took my mind off of the election, which is stressing me out massively. Bless.

Girl Crush: Anna Faris
Anna Faris is really underrated, in my opinion. Ever since I saw the movie Smiley Face where she plays a stoner girl, I saw her in a completely different light! That lead me to watch The House Bunny and I was surprised that I found it so hilarious. I think she's a great example of a female comedian, and she really inspires me ~as a woman~.
