LA Beach Outfit
✰ whats up girlies?!
I'm sitting here (sweaty and in a sports bra), back in NJ, Pinterest-ing and putting off unpacking and cleaning. So instead of getting my act together, I'd rather pretend I'm still on vacation and share some deets from one of my favorite outfits.
When it's hot and humid out this top is my go-to, it's from Free People and I have it in 2 colors because I love it so much.
My bikini top is Maaji and this thing is so secure and comfortable! Zero padding but lots of straps means no wardrobe malfunctions in front of the entire children's camp behind me, lol.
To pull the look together I threw on some white shorts, which didn't stay on much longer after this pic was taken. Mine are Michael Kors but any pair will give the same look. All of my bracelets are from the local shops in town (Udderly Perfect & Nikau Kai) and, of course I have my Ray-Bans on- which are custom so shop this similar pair.
✰ updates:
I just wanna say a huge THANK YOU to all of you guys who have been reading and following my blog! I have really been stepping up my game and workin' my booty off and your positive feedback is so appreciated!
I have so many new ideas coming and I cannot wait to share everything with y'all! I've also been super active on my twitter and it's definitely the most interactive social to connect with you honeys so follow me on there!
For all of my NY babes, I'm planning on shooting there soon so please send your location recs my way!
And lastly, I'm planning on investing in a web designer within the next few months so if you have any good recommendations please let me know about them!

What I Got For Christmas
Hello and HAPPY HOLIDAYS!! Yesterday was Christmas so I filmed and uploaded a “What I Got For Christmas” video. This was highly requested on youtube and these are my favorite videos to watch all year round lol! I am not trying to brag in any way and if this type of video offends you then don’t watch, I have plenty of other videos and blogposts to check out instead!
How to Battle Dry Skin in the Winter
UGH…Now that it’s getting cold outside I can feeeel the moisture getting sucked out of my skin! Naturally, I have really dry skin so the winter can get realll annoying when it comes to skincare. Over the years, I’ve developed some tricks of keeping my skin hydrated all throughout the colder months!
For your Face:
*Every morning, before doing my makeup, I put on my Cetaphil moisturizer and spray my face with Rosewater. Y’all know how much I love my rosewater and there is no exception in the winter!
*Before bed, I cover my whole face with coconut oil, I swear by this stuff for dry skin. While your at it, lather this on your lashes to get that extra growth! However, I don’t recommend this for oily skin since it will clog your pores.
For your Body:
* It’s not only about the face, you better moisturize your body too, especially when it’s cold and dry out! After my shower, before bed, I put coconut oil on my legs, arms, hands, feet, nails, shoulders etc.
*In the mornings before school I use my all time favorite lotions which are the Fairy Secrets Lotion Candles (I have a whole post on them, they are fabulous)
Stay hydrated ladies!! Drink lots of water XO
