Hi beauties! This summer has flown by, and we've traveled to Sacramento (see my wedding looks from this trip here), Funner and San Francisco (all in California), O'ahu and Maui (in Hawaii)! Traveling and going on vacation is one of my favorite things to do, but the planning process can be a bit stressful. On top of putting together your itinerary, lodging and transportation arrangements, you also have to think about what's going on your packing list. Tropical vacations, like the one I just took to Hawaii, call for swimsuits, coverups, sandals, reef-safe sunscreen and other things you ... [Read More]
How To Get The Perfect Blowout At Home In Under 6 Minutes
Hi beauties! I discovered this amazing hair tool about a month ago that gave me the perfect blowout in minutes, and I just had to tell you about it! The first time I used this hot airbrush & volumizing tool, it took me under SIX minutes to go from soaking wet curly hair to dry, smooth, volumized hair. I was SHOOK. I had heard great things about this hair tool, but I had no idea I could get a perfect blowout in under 6 minutes! It does such a great job that I don't even need to straighten my hair anymore. Before this tool, it would take me 15 minutes to blow dry, 30 minutes to ... [Read More]

The Best Shows On Netflix, Hulu and HBO Now for Millennial Women
If you know anything about me, you know I love my TV shows. I grew up watching a healthy amount of TV and was the best of friends with my DVD player (remember those old things?). One of my favorite things to do was to hang out with my mom and watch her favorite TV shows with her while eating pretzels and dipping them in peanut butter. I'm basically walking proof that TV doesn't rot your brain! Haha. As I've gotten older, media has gotten more diverse, technology has gotten better, and my love for TV shows has only grown. Between me and my people, I have access to Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, ... [Read More]
The Perfect Chambray Dress You Need For Summer (Under $40)
Hope you had a fun and safe 4th of July! To be totally honest, I got dressed up in this outfit, took photos in this pretty chambray dress with Doug, and then spent the rest of the day working on blog content, watching movies and drinking one of my favorite Bonterra rosés (see my top rosé recommendations here). No raging here for this girl. This is the first 4th of July I've been in LA in a long time, so it was a little bit weird to be here. I was in Venice, Italy with Doug last Independence Day, and I usually go home to Tampa to visit my family. Nonetheless, I'm totally ok with ... [Read More]
Gorgeous Wedding-Guest Outfit For Under $100
Hi beauties! I went to a friend's wedding in Sacramento a few weeks ago and wanted to share the dress and shoes I wore to the wedding. I've never gotten so many compliments on a dress before! No one could believe that it was under $100, much less under $70. In fact, my dress, shoes and the clutch combined were under $100! The detail in this dress from the high front slit to the cold shoulder cut to the cowl neck back is so gorgeous. The color I went with is a pink/mauve color that has a tiny bit of shimmer. The material isn't clingy, but I definitely wore shareware underneath to smooth ... [Read More]
