What's Your Favorite Season? New Fall Items!

Snuggling up with layered sweaters with hot drinks (tea, chai lattes, coffee) and a lap blanket is my happy place. So it's no wonder Fall is my favorite season! There've been so many great finds lately. I think of the codex club constantly, and while we're continuing to make original products, I've been looking at some beautiful, different and creative vendors to keep growing the inventory and brand.

Starting these silver earring pieces using the infinity sign (a personal favorite) and some Greek life apparel; even though I'm well out of school I always feel that momentum and longing for structure, as September arrives. Parsons never had any frats or sororities, I only found out recently that we have a mascot, the narwhal!



Motivated to make a plan and start a personal curriculum. Any suggestions for the next few months are welcome!

Turning 30 | Skin, Makeup, Hair and Health

Hey guys, it’s Andrea. I make things as ‘the codex club’ on here, but I’ve never posted a personal YouTube video where I even talk, so I thought it was about time. I turned 30 yesterday. And for some that’s not a big deal. But for me, it was always something I talked about when discussing goals. Like ‘when I turn 30…’ ‘this is what I want to do before 30’ and I realize I’ve done some of it, and I’m happy with where I am- but there’s a lot I still want to do. Here are some of the things I’ve worked hard to gather and share here.

Skin, Makeup, Hair Loves:

I had to pick up things when I was acting on shoots (and something a makeup artist did worked well), or a friend told me ‘do this’. My little sister actually gives me the most tips. My mom never really wore makeup, and stressed just taking care of our skin. Which is great! And she looks great for her age. But there are some things I do, and I hope it helps.

2. Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist travel size 0.24 oz

5. NARS Blush Orgasm

Hair

1. UNITE Hair 7 Seconds Detangler Leave In, 8 Fl oz

I saw a few Chinese-American makeup tips on youtube, but this is what I do. It’s not really who I am to just talk about products, so I’d like to also talk about general health, and what’s below the surface.

Health:

NutriBullet smoothies. A huge tablespoon of peanut butter plus as many fruits can fit, some spinach, and either milk or almond milk.

A book I like by Aubrey Marcus, Own the Day, Own Your Life: Optimized Practices for Waking, Working, Learning, Eating, Training, Playing, Sleeping, and Sex

Which I also wrote about in a prior blog post: http://thecodexclub.blogspot.com/2018/05/blog-post.html

Yoga videos on here (yoga at your desk! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAUf7aajBWE)

And just some reflections on Bourdain passing, and life in general. We live in an age that’s increasingly connecting through social media, and I’m inspired to try and make those connections more and listen to you guys so I hope we can keep in touch.
