Festival Fashion!

It's festival season! With our Burning Man and Coachella, and the umpteen other festivals happening this summer I thought I'd share with you my all time staple festival fashions, and carry along must haves! Since I'm headed to Uforia Fest next month with my FLAMA fam bam (which I hope to see you at), here are some things that I will make sure to pack with me. Grab your satchel and let's do it!

The Beauty Of Confidence

As a woman, heck as a human, I have my fair share of insecurities. It's something we learn living in a society built on image and status, but it's also something we unwillingly accept from judgements passed on to us from others. Something I always try to teach my daughter is that the the one thing you can wear everyday, the one thing only you can give yourself, the most beautiful accessory, is confidence. "Confidence and being comfortable are things you can see on the outside when you feel them on the inside." - Carrie Underwood

My nighttime skin care routine

So a few posts ago, I talked about my morning skin care routine, if you missed that click here, and today I share with you my night time skin care routine. When we sleep, our skin really gets to work healing and renewing so here are some products I use to make the most out of that process! Seems like a gazillion things to do but you'll thank me when people ask how your skin looks so glowy!

Lovely Letters - A Snail Mail Exchange

Perhaps it's that I needed to remind myself to slow down, or that I love receiving actual letters in the mail that I can touch and read, or perhaps it's that I love surprises and meeting new people. Well in fact, it's all of that. I love meeting new people, especially when they are in another country, I love corresponding via snail mail, I love purchasing stamps, and I love the idea of these lovely letters.

My Beach Bag Essentials

Summer is upon us here in Los Angeles, thought it's usually warm and sunny, it's been especially warm lately and we've been finding ourselves at the beach or prowling for a pool to dip into a lot these days. Thought I'd share with you the things I pack with me each time, my beach bag essentials! You can pack this bag for the beach, to go pool side, or even for any time you hike or spend an extended period of time outside. These are just some of my must have items for my skin and lips to keep my protected, hydrated, and refreshed.

Best Frangrances For The Summer- My Faves

If you know me than you know I'm ALL about fragrances! I have about 20 perfumes at home, it's a problem I know.  Anything that makes my skin or hair smell divine, I'm all about. I always have at least 2 different perfumes with me at any given time. I also ALWAYS have a roller ball of some sort ON me ALL the time, just in case! haha. I've changed my sense of smell over the past few months, switched out my current faves, and today I'll share with you my favorite summer fragrances and why I love them so much!
