Hoodies.

You know what I love about autumn?


I love walking outside to check the weather.


After I feel a slight chill in the air, I turn right back around and go inside. Why? SO I CAN GO GRAB A CUTE HOODIE. They are the best! Once I have my hoodie on, I am ready to face the day and look cute doing whatever fall-y thing I want to do. Hoodies rule for tons of reasons.


1. They keep you warm and cozy. When it is windy or rainy, don't worry about messing up your hair! Just pull that hood on.

2. In the spirit of the blog, I have to say that hoodies are great to chill in. If you want to just curl up and watch some TV to DVD, you can wear a big baggy "boyfriend" hoodie. I am jumping ahead of myself here, but I have to say guys love chicks in hoodies. This is undeniably true. Especially when the girl is wearing his hoodie. Getting back to my point, I am chilling, blogging, and wearing my favorite hoodie.


3. Anyways, you can also make fashion statements with hoodies. When I was on a tour bus in Scotland, I saw the jazziest hoodie ever. A Canadian girl on our tour was wearing a fitted army green hoodie with a diagonal zipper. She bought it in London. To this day, whenever I am in a trendy shop, I always look for cute diagonal zip hoodies.




4. I can't think of anything more adorable on a guy than a worn-in hoodie. How cute is it when a boy stuffs his hands in the lil' pocket in front?













My best friend bought me a great hoodie. It is just the right size and super soft on the inside. It is also navy blue- one of my favorite colors to wear. This is kind of what it looks like. I luv it.

I love blogging about food.

Guys. I have discovered a breakfast cereal that will make you swoon. It's called Puffins. Isn't that a cute name for a box of cereal?

The thing is, I love cereal. It is cold and delicious and just the right amount of filling. But often times, cereal is loaded with calories and massive amounts of sugar that I fear will land unflatteringly on various appendages.

Not so with Puffins.

It's filled with low-calorie deliciousness. It also has a ton of fiber, which is good for 1) pooping (I'm sorry, but it's true), and 2) staying a slender little hot ass. I'm not sure a nutritionist would put it in these exact terms, but fiber is to your body what adorable orphaned children are to Brangelina: The more you have, the better you look.

Puffins, with their slightly sweet flavor and crunchy bite-sized shapes, are truly the perfect breakfast cereal. (I'm sorry, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but you are junk food, not healthy, slenderizing breakfast food. You seductive, beautiful bitch.)

I feel like I've come to the end of a long search for buried treasure, and Puffins are what I found in the treasure box. Also, they sell them at regular grocery stories and at Trader Joe's and Whole Foods, so you can feel all hippy-crunchy-Gwyneth-ish.

Don't let the packaging fool you. That puffin only looks all militant and refined.

What's Going On?

What a great Marvin Gaye song. While Marvin was questioning war and whatnot, I'm here to see what is up with all my fellow HMPV blogsters.

As for me, I have been busy with non-stop chilling- with no time to post! I know what you thinking- blogging=chilling. Sorry!

So, in true Kiki-fashion, I'm just gonna go ahead and do what I do best- list things that have been keeping me chilling all August long.

1. Robins egg meets Tiffany's box blue.

I painted my new room this color and I cannot even begin to tell you about how chill my new room is- and I think it is mostly due to the color palette. The bright color serves as a great background for all of Smash's artwork as well as my cute new UO duvet cover! Now that my room is painted an inviting blue, all I ever want to do in lounge in bed and straight chill.

2. Ryan Adams-"Easy Tiger"

Okay, so it is no "Cold Roses", but I think this is a pretty enjoyable album. Ryan definitely does what he does best- singing about broken hearts with his falsetto country voice hitting the high notes. So far I have listened to this album on road trips, drinking on the porch, and unpacking my new room. My favorite song is "Two Hearts".

3. Not Working.

This should actually be listed as #1 if we were listing in order of importance. It is really hard to chill . . . at work.

4. Vimeo

Vimeo is the facebook version of youtube. It has a clean design and all kinds of privacy settings when you post your video. You can also do "credits" for the videos you post (if your friends are on vimeo). I love chilling on this site and watching videos. Also, most of these videos are made by the people that post them. For instance, on vimeo, you can't really find Rihanna's "Umbrella" video.

5. The Pool.

Even though the docs tell me I shouldn't leave the house without SPF 50 because my skin is so fair, I love to go to the pool and tan. My skin just looks so much better slightly tan instead of the wintery ghost white. In addition to reading mags and catching rays, I also love to go to the snack bar at the pool and get chicken salad wraps. Delish! Going to the pool is a great chilling activity because you can be very independent about it and just go by yourself or you can invite all your friends to chill with you. When in doubt of how to chill in the summertime, just head to a pool.

Question: When will I get sick . . .

of listening to the Cocteau Twins while chilling?

A: Probs never.

Major Problem.

What is my problem?

Turkey Hill Extreme Cookies 'N Cream Light Recipe Ice Cream!

It is too freaking delicious. So I go to Ukrops yesterday to buy a 1.75 qt tub and here I am-- 24 hours later scraping the melted chocolately liquid off the bottom of the container.

Srsly. Buy this stuff if you don't suffer from ice cream binging and you crave a cold creamy treat that isn't too unhealthy.

Here is the description of the ice cream and some nutritional facts.

"Chocolate light ice cream with chocolate cookies and crunchy chocolate cookie swirl"

Per 1/2 cup: 140 calories, 5 grams of fat, 22 grams of carbohydrates.

So basically in the past day I ate 2000 calories of 'scream. Embarrassing!

Oh yeah, and all that cookie mumbo jumbo in the description is ALL TRUE. There are tons of big oreo like cookies in the ice cream. You know what is the worst? When ice cream doesn't live up to its description. Ben and Jerry's is notorious for that.

I want to work in advertising

I hear VCU has the nation's best program. Thoughts, countless VCU alumni?

A girl who knows how to chill.

Iced Caffeinated Beverages

Aren't they great?

Lately I have been a bit of a cheapskate and only buying iced coffees as opposed to the fancier iced latte or mocha.

Also, for a quick drink on the go- Starbucks makes a creamy light iced coffee IN A CAN.
