Citrine Natural Beauty Bar is such a beautiful place. I love ALL of their products because they're non-toxic and they WORK. Everything just feels clean, from the design of the store to the ingredients in the products -- what you see is what you get.
This time of year, for the last SIX, I was getting my outfits in line and dieting for Coachella. I made so many amazing memories and feel blessed to have experienced it in what many would call its prime (and many would disagree, I like to believe the latter).
Anyway, if you've never been it can seem like this crazy unattainable event that only celebrities go to. And, in a way, it is. It's super expensive to go to Coachella, especially if you don't live on the West Coast.
If you don't already have plans in line for this year's festival, it's likely that you're not going. Tickets are hard to come by unless you want to buy them off of Craigslist for 5x their worth, and housing is another HORSE entirely.
However, I realize that a lot of you are going for the first time so I wanted to put together a little list of tips to make your trip successful. Because it's likely that you spent your college tuition on a ticket and place to stay :) ... lets do this!
If you're like me, you're always looking for a way to improve your wrinkles and fine lines without any downtime!!! Micro-needling is a quick (and painless, might I add) procedure that will give you smoother, firmer, and younger looking skin. NO, really. And the device I use costs less than $15. THIS IS NOT AN AD. This is life-changing.
There's nothing quite like avocado toast. However, it's super easy to take avo toast and turn it into a calorie and carb BOMB.
I wanted to share one that I make daily. I love this one because it's full of all the good fats, proteins, and fiber. Every piece of it is "good for you." And it's not an overload of carbohydrates and/or calories. AND IT TASTES GOOD AF! Oh, and it's super simple (did I say that?).
As you know, I have been going to Sassoon Salon in Scottsdale and have been having such an amazing experience with Scottsdale Creative Director, Ben Ko and Assistant Color Director, Tara Forman. Because of this, I couldn’t wait to see the looks that Sassoon would be creating on fashion's biggest stage! Creative Director, Michael Forrey lead the direction of the runway hair styles at VFILES (which were SO 100). And then recreated them on me a few days later. Don't worry, we filmed the WHOLE THING.
GLOSSYBOX – IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE RITUAL OF SAKURA
In Japan, the harbinger of Spring, Sakura (Japanese for cherry blossoms), has been welcomed and celebrated for centuries with the breathtaking spectacle of the blooming cherry trees.
As a leading beauty expert, GLOSSYBOX joins in the celebrations by collaborating with Amsterdam based scent and cosmetic brand Rituals on a mono-branded Limited Edition Box making the change of the season.
GlossyBox is a monthly beauty subscription box. This review is of their most recent limited edition box, Rituals.
Recent studies have revealed some shocking information about the ingredients in our everyday beauty products. And sadly, Khiels is right there with those (SAD SAD SAD). I have been on the hunt to replace my (beautiful, beloved) lotion for about a year now but NOTHING…and I mean nothing has even compared. I always come crying back, begging my giant bottle of Creme de Corps for forgiveness. But not this time. I’m on a mission to replace ALL of my toxic beauty products, which you know, if you’ve been keeping up. THAT MEANS THE CORPS.
I never thought in a million years that I would be replacing it with a product that was made in my hometown (that, according to Google, has a population of 2,849). I needed a product that was safe but most importantly EFFECTIVE. I needed something exactly like Khiels, but I found something better: Greenwell & Co Luxe Natural Skincare!
Let's face it, being healthy is expensive business. I don't see it getting better anytime soon, so until then.... DIY. I mean, I didn't invest in this Vitamix for nothing.
These CCB Wellness Shots are EVERYTHING you need to kick and prevent those bugs out there. If you do NOTHING else to be healthy, do this. Thank me later.

My obsession started a few years ago when I had a major reliance on acid reducers (aka, proton pump inhibitors... aka Nexium, etc). I was on a ski trip in Aspen a week before my foot surgery and I was taking Advil every single day to combat the altitude sickness. Little did I know, I was creating a major peptic ulcer that I would have for many years.
Why go with the same old rose bouquet and card again this year? I've rounded up the perfect gifts to give or get for Valentine's (or Galentine's?) Day!
