Living in LA, I’ve noticed that the dry heat really messes with my skin. Somedays it’s oily while other days it’s dry because of the fluctuating humidity. I’ve been testing out a few different skincare lines to find the best price and value of ingredients and I have narrowed it down to one brand, RilaStil. Their products range between $25-$145 and they have highly concentrated ingredients in their products- so
At the end of this month, I’ll be traveling to the East coast to do a couple of TV segments (yay!!) but this also means that I’ll be confined to managing my life, blog and business mostly, if not entirely, on the phone. I’ve been on my A-game testing out and putting together a list of best apps for fashion bloggers and now, my phone is souped up and ready to go with quite
My Dermstore Review Boxes shmoxes- there are so many out there! So, how do you choose the best one and what should you be looking for? For me, it’s two things; newness and real value. Newness because, well, considering the name of my blog should be self-explanatory. But on a serious note, the beauty industry is highly advanced and constantly innovating and with in mind, I want to try it
My hair’s been in repair for over 2 years now. It was nice and long, but after all the color treatments and frizz control solutions it got shorter. During my journey to find the best frizzy hair solution, I had been consistently doing the Brazilian blowout and flat ironing it with a titanium straightener. I had no idea that those two things were making my already dry and damaged hair
I have a newfound love for capes, and I got to customize the perfect one for fall, thanks to Eshakti.com. Their website caters to women size 0-36 and allows you to take dresses, tops and bottoms and style them your way. I’ll get into the “how” in a minute but for now, let’s talk capes. As much as I love trench coats, I try to stray away from them. That’s because
Straightening curly hair is a BEE!! If you have wavy, curly or frizzy hair, then I’m preaching to the choir so can I get a witness? I have been looking for a new straightening solution that won’t damage my hair. I was introduced to DAFNI, which mind you has flown off the shelves but I was lucky enough to get one to try out from the Dermstore. It’s a new
Summer is here and if that’s music to your ears too, then you’ve probably got your mind set on soaking up some good fun in the sun. But not so fast, let’s talk about your skin! One day in the sun could cause anything from sunburns and peeling skin to wrinkles and skin cancer. That’s why it’s so important to lather up with best sunscreens that actually works to protect your
Fall is finally here! I’m a little sad to say goodbye to Summer, but after the multiple heat waves we had in LA this year, I’m certainly ready for a nice hot-chocolate-sipping, cold crispy air kind of pumpkin carving season. It really can’t get cooler fast enough. On the last day of Summer, I wore this outfit to ring in the Fall. If you remember, I hesitantly gave culottes a chance and
An oil that duals as a face wash and moisturizer? Sign me up for a lifetime supply! Here’s the thing. I needed a skincare routine for normal skin because my products have been over-the-counter and as basic as it gets. Believe it or not, I’ve only had two facials in my entire life. Let’s just say, I got lucky with good skin and throughout the years I’ve sprinkled in a few products
I had so much fun shooting this mixed print midi skirt look for Attract Magazine. It just goes to show that stepping out your comfort zone can be such a positively liberating thing. If you guys remember my post How to Wear a Ball Skirt Like a Baller, I talked about how hesitant I was to try the trend. Now, I practically live in them because the number of outfits you can put together is
