TOP / SHORTS / SHOES / GLASSES

Loving LPA lately, it’s one of my favorite brands these days.  The quality is perfection!  GRLFRND is also one of my favorite denim brands.  I have THESE JEANS too in the same brand.  They wash great and fit true to size.  I love these shorts, they’re perfect for Summer!

GUYS- I had the craziest/most dramatic moment in Palm Springs a couple weeks ago.   It all happened on Coachella weekend (which I unfortunately wasn’t there to attend) and at the Parker Hotel.  We went there to have a nice afternoon lunch.   We arrived at this cute little 70’s vibe restaurant in their hotel.  People there seemed a bit snooty if you will… they acted like we came from a different planet.  Which is a bit off since we were mostly clothes compared to everyone else.. there was nothing wrong with us.  The table to our left was giving us hard glares and huge eye rolls, because we had taken a selfie (WELCOME TO 2018) everyone is taking selfies and constantly on their phone?  She then budged her husband and pointed at us, they both gave huge eye rolls.  I mean, huh??  Right then we just started feeling out of place.

SO THEN- it gets even better.  We get our great food and my lovely omelette (which was $30.. insert wtf face)  it was a great omelette, but I kinda wanted the chopped salad if I’m being honest.  We get finished with our meal.  I was with Paige and Paige haha.  Photographer and another blogger.  Anyways, we get finished and another table to the right of us (huge group of 6 ppl)  just had gotten back from Coachella and they seemed to be having a good time, drinking margs, having fun, my kind of people ya know?  

BUT OH NO… they got their food and Paige says “oh look at how yummy his chopped salad looks”  keep in mind their food is presented really pretty.  The salad looked like a huge crouton with salad inside.  So then, I turn around and gave a little glance at it and said “oh yum!”   One of the girls (clearly drunk as a skunk)  looks over to us and says with a demon in her eyes…. “WHY DON’T YOU TAKE A PICTURE IT’LL LAST LONGER!!!”  Us thinking… kinda in shock.. almost wondering if she’s joking…??  I look at her and say,  kinda laughing and very nice… “Oh your food just looks really good!”  She then holds up her plate and says “HERE TAKE A PICTURE!!!”  I immediately turn around and wanted to get the fuck out of there.  She then keeps saying a bunch of means shit at our table, and keeps churping away!  “don’t crank you neck!” blah blah blah.  Who knows! I tuned out at that point.  

We dodged the place immediately.  I mean, we were not staring… just little glanced over at their food CLEARLY.  Its a resturaunt, people do that when we’re all eating the same food, trying to figure what to order etc…. DUH.  Anyways,  It’s one of those moments where you wish you would’ve said something.. but then when you’re in the heat of the moment you don’t because you’re in complete shock.  I’m not that kind of person either.  I get super nervous when someone is so aggressive and confrontational… OR RUDE.. like that.   We were totally taken back, but if I were to relive it over again, I wish I would’ve literally gotten up and taken a photo of their food.    What a crazy person right?!  I felt like I was straight out of a reality show.  Who says “take a picture it’ll last longer anyways?!”  ARE WE FIVE??  This woman was about in her 40’s I’d say.  Probably didn’t get any that weekend, and to drunk to even function.  

Had to share that story with you haha.  We were so taken back… I won’t be going there any time soon!  Parker Hotel has bad vibes for me man.  It’s to bad because It’s super cute!  But you also have to pay $5 grand if you want to shoot there… super reasonable right? haha.

But on a fun note, this outfit is bomb!  You guys need to check it out asap!  Cutest summer wear ever!

Have a great day!  Hope you had a laugh!

SKINCARE ROUTINE FOR NEWBIES

IMG_8756 (1)

IMG_8755

IMG_8756 (1)I know how overwhelming it can be when you see someone have a 6+ step process for skincare morning and night.  I use about 5 products at night (MY SKINCARE ROUTINE) and 3-4 in the morning.  I never started out with that many.  In fact, I only use to cleanse, moisturize and use sunscreen.   I would highly recommend starting small for those so brand new to skincare, so I wanted to put together a 3 step routine you can start with, if you’re looking into taking better care of your skin.  So HERE WE GO.

  1. CLEANSER. Elta Md Cleanser.   Cleanse in the morning (ONLY IF YOU HAVE WORKED OUT) cleansing can dry out your skin, so If I haven’t worked out in the morning I just rinse with cold water a few times and go onto the next step, but I ALWAYS cleanse at night of course.  I usually cleanse in the morning after I work out.  But like I said, if not, then I don’t.
  2. MOISTURIZER.  Dr Dennis Gross Exfoliating Moisturizer.  I’ve been using these moisturizer for a couple months, and LOVE IT. Not heavy, but creamy enough to get the job done.
  3. SUNSCREEN.  PAleeeeease wear sunscreen. Everyday ALL day, in the winter, summer, fall, spring.  I’m telling you, it’s so important.  Who wants premature aging, wrinkles and sun spots? NOT ME.  WHY I WEAR SPF EVERYDAY.  I LOVE ELTA MD UV CLEAR WITH TINT.  I’ve tried many, and thats my favorite!
  4. ROSE HIP OIL.  This oil will actually do the opposite and make you LESS oily and prevent breakouts.  Thats a whole other blog post, but get it!  I swear by this stuff.  I use this only at night, on my face hands, neck and chest.

THATS IT FOLKS.  But really, 3 simple steps to start a good routine.  YOUR JOB? BE CONSISTENT FRIENDS. This is so important.  It’s just like with anything else.  You want results, you must have consistency.   Once you feel like you can add in something else, add in a serum after cleansing at night OR better yet, Dr Dennis Gross Peel Pads (LIFE CHANGING!) but don’t overwhelm yourself.  Start slow!

What products do you guys use you swear by?

Have a great day!

xoxo,
