This vintage bag with an even more beautiful perfect lining given to me by Jan ( Lin’s mom) is so special. Nothing says "sophistication" like a beautiful bag from a more elegant era -

And Chanel No. 5. It’s one rite of passage every woman should experience. From the iconic black and white box and the weight of the rectangular glass bottle to the complex scent of florals and amber ..

So fascinated with the history behind it..

A new year and not much has changed so here I am forced me to take my beauty routine into my own hands. I have been in desperate need of a haircut but with the variants out there, I need to just wait. If you are in the same boat, you are going to really appreciate these two hair tips I am sharing today that will keep your hair healthy and shiny!

I have been avoiding heat styling whenever possible! And when I do need some I am just doing a quick blow at the roots for volume, then I let my hair finish air drying naturally. I have also been using a The Alfaparf Milano Semi Di Lino Sublime Cristalli Liquidi Hair Oil Serum Treatment! It’s an instant hair make-over that provides immediate gloss!

Having a moment of pampering with OSEA MALIBU today! Completely soaking in this stress-relieving precious moment to myself. 💆🏻‍♀️

You know I have been a huge fan of OSEA for half a decade! Not only does the company’s commitment to powerful natural skin care shine through in everything from their natural derived ingredients, and highly concentrated formulations - but the products look so darn beautiful in my bathroom.

At home spa day with Legacy Skin’s Joan D’Arc Bamboo & Oatmeal Oxygenating Exfoliant.

Fine Adzuki bean, rice, bamboo, and colloidal oatmeal create a gentle paste which is manually applied to the face and décolleté, and gently agitated for manual exfoliation. This natural scrub can be mixed with a daily cleanser for a deep scrub or applied as a paste/mask as an enzymatic treatment.

I am so excited to be writing this today because I officially have the mermaid hair again! I have worn hair extensions for years and years…..seriously…check out these posts if you are curious. It’s really been soooo long that I cannot imagine my life without them.

A new year is approaching and I made it a personal goal to keep blogging consistently this year…but still trying to simplify the process and not allowing it to take up too much of my time (as I’ve been known to spend hours writing blogs). Over the last few years, I’ve noticed there’s been an increase in people abandoning their blogs altogether but for me, I want to still have this space to talk as much as I do if you were to meet me in person. Instagram is great, of course, but there’s only so much information people can take on a daily basis, it can become so overwhelming and we can end up feeling our brains being oversaturated and close to exploding!

For me, I love talking about beauty products: I love testing products! I love the branding element of the industry; I love finding products that work and telling others!
