My Travel Rituals + Must Haves

Travel, one of my favorite things to do. You can see somewhere completely new in just 9 hours, you can visit your family across the country, you can take yourself away for a self-care weekend…but let’s be real, no matter what the occasion and no matter how close or far you are going - traveling is f*cking exhaustingggggg.

Look Good, Feel Good.

As most of you know, I am an ambassador for Carbon 38. I make it a rule to only work with companies I truly love and support, rather than just spewing out praise for brands I know nothing about. I do the research to find the best brands, learn who is behind the brand & make sure that their values align with my own. If they hit all of these marks, then I have the privilege of sharing these like minded brands with all of you!

Protect The Pits!

Protect Your Pits, sounds funny right? Who wants to think about their armpits, that’s weird and gross and it’s better if we just pretend they don’t exist….except they do, sooo let’s talk pits! You know I love me some Kopari Beauty. In March, I committed to making the switch in my beauty routine to fully non-toxic products. Kopari was my ‘gate-way’ drug & it completely transformed my skin.

They have all helped me in some way or another and I can promise that they will help you too!

Healing Powers of Matcha + Adaptogens

My love for matcha runs true and deep. There was a time when I tried to be a coffee lover, but honestly I never really enjoyed the bitter taste of coffee or the way it made me feel. I kept drinking it because I loved the morning routine of making or getting a morning cup of energy and carrying it with me for the better part of the day. Eventually, I realized that a major cause of my anxiety, sleepless nights & hormonal acne was coming from the amount of coffee I was drinking.

Probiotic Honey + Turmeric Face Mask

The past year has been a journey for me with food & skincare. I have slowly made changes in the way I eat and what food I choose to put in my body for fuel. Once I started seeing how the change in food affected me from the inside, I quickly realized I had to take a look at what I was putting on my skin that would then be absorbed into my body.

Life Hack : How to make On The Go Breakfast Healthy

I have found some amazing recipes, tips & tricks to start off your morning on the right foot, even when you only have 20 minutes to get yourself together.

Sunday meal prep is going to be your new BFF. This may sound daunting but take a breath and hear me out. Meal prep doesn't have to be about making a million recipes and having every single breakfast, lunch and dinner for the week ready all at once. That sounds less than appealing. This is not the kind of meal prep I am suggesting.

My Favorite Podcasts

When you live in LA you spend a lotttt of time in the car. I also live Downtown so i spend a lottt of time walking to and from work. One of my favorite ways to spend my time while driving or walking is listening to a dope Podcast. I am a reader to learn, I usually can’t pick up a book that is just a story and get hooked. I like the knowledge that comes along with self-help or educational books and this carries over to Podcasts.
