A few weeks ago, I had the chance to visit Toronto for the first time. I’d heard good things about the city, but I had no expectations of my visit. Honestly, I’ve been so busy lately, I didn’t even have time to pre-plan the trip. Normally, I have a list of things I’ll do when…
Last week I had to go shopping for some new items for an upcoming shoot. I haven’t shopped in the mall in forever. Most of my shopping, I do online, just due to lack of time. I missed perusing the mall because that’s the only time that I get to explore and spot trends. Almost…
This bedroom gallery wall post is sponsored by Minted. All opinions are my own. When I moved to California earlier this year, I decided not to move most of our furniture. It was mostly all from the early 2000s, and not in the best shape after a couple cross-country moves. It was a great decision….
Real talk ladies – for the majority of my life, I’ve hidden my legs. I specifically hid my legs from the knee up because of cellulite and a general dislike for my chubby knees. I’d wear knee length or midi-length dresses because I do like my calves, but I’d never wear shorts. Something shifted for…
A few weeks ago, Crepe Erase invited me to attend a private brunch event at Norah in West Hollywood. Their spokesperson, Courtney Thorne-Smith, hosted the event. So, a couple dozen influencers and I had the chance to meet her and try out all of the Crepe Erase products. Now that I’m in my late 30s,…
Working from home has one major perk—I very rarely need to dress up anymore. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked in a corporate setting, so I needed to have a lot of ‘work clothes’. My work uniform the last few years, was a blazer and cropped skinny pants, paired with heels. Although I don’t…
It’s almost Cinco de Mayo! Ever since I first moved to Phoenix in 2004, I’ve been a fan of that day. I mean, it’s another excused to enjoy great Mexican food and yummy drinks with my friends. After living in Boston for awhile, I can honestly say I missed Mexican food the most. Although I…
A few weeks ago, I got to spend less than two days in New Orleans. Although I wish the trip could have been longer, I forgot just how much I adore this city. I also remembered just how much you can do with 36 hours in New Orleans. The first time I went to New…
If you read my fashion posts, you know that one of my fashion goals is to break out of my comfort zone and try new things. I had no idea how to wear paperbag pants before because I was sure they wouldn’t work for me. The pleating seemed like a no-go. Pleats take me right…
Mmmm…cauliflower! So I know there is a whole big movement to replace carbs with cauliflower. But it’s not just hype! It actually totally works. Now, if you’re expecting that cauliflower pizza crust is going to taste EXACTLY like pizza you’ll get at your favorite restaurant, well, then you’re going to be disappointed. But, I still…
Last week, I shared some of my favorite places to visit in LA. Since my sister was in town, we spent 4 days touring around the city and I even got to see a few places I hadn’t been before. However, I also learned there are at least 3 places not to visit in Los…
Vertical stripes, horizontal stripes, multi-colored stripes, they are all majorly on trend for spring. I recently ordered this cute stripe midi dress online (it’s under $50!), but I really doubted it would work on me. See, I generally avoid horizontal stripes at all costs. They tend to make me look wider. However, this dress totally…
Remember as a kid, when you thought Brussels sprouts were totally disgusting? Well, at least I did. I remember watching cartoons and tv shows as a kid, they’d talk about how disgusting Brussels are. Then I grew up, learned how to roast them to perfection, and realized Brussels sprouts are one of my favorite vegetables….
Recently, my sister and nephew came to visit us in LA. Since I haven’t been here that long, I wasn’t so sure about playing the role of tour guide. I knew a few places around the LA area that I wanted to take them, but several of the places they wanted to visit, I hadn’t…
This post is sponsored by Box of Style. All opinions are my own. Before I get too far into this post about head scarves and how to use wear and style a scarf in your hair, I wanted to make sure you knew that I’m giving away the newest Box of Style. The giveaway ends…
