GOOD FOR THE GLOBE WITH BLOOMINGDALES

Happy first day of Spring! Its finally been feeling like spring here in the Bay Area, with the amazing weather that we have been having the past few days. This past weekend was simply glorious and Anush and I had to step outdoors and drive over to check out the superbloom of wildflowers along the Northern California coast.

I am super excited to be partnering with Bloomingdales for such a wonderful cause in their Good for the Globe campaign. Just in time for Earth Month next month, the Good for the Globe Carousel on their site right now is a rotating pop-up shop which features a curated assortment of eco-friendly and socially conscious products ranging from garments made from recyclable materials to products with proceeds that benefit meaningful causes. All these sustainable pieces essentially “do good for the globe” and help reduce, reuse and recycle in style! Aside from some of my fave sustainable brands featured in the pop up shop, I also found these cool products that are so rad and sustainable too – like the Bureo skateboards made from recycled fishing nets , portable stainless steel straws from The Final Straw, Nomadix 4-in-1 towel made from recycled plastic bottles and more.

One of my long time favorite brands for many years has been Faithfull the Brand not only cos of their gorgeous wanderlust worthy pieces but also cos of their ethical and sustainable practices. Bloomingdales has so many new arrivals from this brand – I picked out this floral spring sundress which was so perfect for going wildflower hunting in the Bay. The ditsy floral spring is so pretty and I love the flirty details like the arm ties. The mustard flower fields was seriously a sight to behold! There were endless fields of gold in every direction and I couldn’t think of a better way to ring in the new season of Spring than this! If you are local, I highly recommend you check out the superbloom along the Norcal coast – these fields were right on Highway 1 near Half Moon Bay. There are also plenty of wildflowers along Highway 1 from Santa Cruz to Davenport.

Check out my other fave sustainable pieces in the carousel below from the Bloomingdales Good for the Globe campaign. My other beloved sustainable brands that are part of this amazing pop up shop are Mikoh (swimwear), Levis (denim) and more.

Why you need a Hammitt Handbag

Guilty pleasures…we all have em’. Some we’re probably more willing to admit than others, but we’ll leave that talk for another day. One of my biggest guilty pleasures: handbags. 

There’s something just so captivating about a genuine quality handbag. Don’t you agree? We’ve all heard the saying “you get what you pay for” and I’ve never found that to be more true when it comes to purses. I mean of course you can always find those $200,000 purses out there, but that’s just either ridiculous or baller status – whatever way you want to look at it.

Now let’s get one thing straight, spending a boat load of money isn’t going to guarantee that your bag will instantly take everyones breath away. On the other hand, you can almost always garuntee that the quality is going to be there. When you really think about it, it makes perfect sense; the better the materials used, the higher the price point will be. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying you need to go drop $2000 on a handbag in order for it to be “quality”. What I’m saying is that you should most defintely be shopping at Hammitt LA for your next handbag.

Hammitt bags are beautifulllll (btw this is my 2nd Hammit handbag).  Seriously, when this BRYANT CROSS BODY BAG was delivered, I could not take my eyes off of it. The inside of the bag is just as beautiful as the outside!! The attention to detail that went into making this bag, in my opinion, is beyond impressive. Now, the Bryant cross body will cost you $495 and I totally understand that’s still a pretty high budget for some of us, BUT if it means anything, the bag looks and feels like it should’ve cost about $1500 or more.

If $495 is way out of the question, don’t you worry, the bags and accessories on Hammitt.com range from $45 up to $1260. Winner winnnner chicken dinner!! Real talk though, if you want my advice, go check out what Hammitt LA has to offer. After all, window shoppin’ never hurt nobody…..right?

MORNINGS WITH WELLA PROFESSIONALS

Greetings from the Caribbean!

I had such an amazing time for my first time visiting Turks & Caicos. Believe the hype- the sand is just as white and the water just as blue as what you’ve been told. As it usually goes with tropical, humid climates I had to battle with my easily frizzy, uncontrollable hair. But this isn’t my first time at the rodeo. I want to share with you my tricks for keeping your main on lock.

As you know I am a huge fan of Wella Professionals hair products. I am such a creature of habit that once I find a routine and products that work, I stick to them. So let’s run down the haircare steps that never fail me.

My go-to products from Wella are from the Wella Professionals FUSIONPLEX Intense Repair and Oil Reflections care lines. Once or twice a week I like to do the FUSIONPLEX Intense Repair mask. I get my hair wet and apply the mask to the mid-length and ends of my hair for 5 minutes. So easy! On days I don’t mask, I wash my hair with both the FUSIONPLEX Intense Repair Shampoo and Conditioner, paying close attention to my conditioner to it doesn’t build up on my roots. It instantly helps repair damage from daily combing and styling with Silksteel Fusion technology – it rebuilds hair on both the inside and outside.

Thus far my hair already feels so much stronger. Depending on the day, I sometimes apply the Oil Reflections Luminous Smoothing Oil to my damp hair or to my hair once I’ve finished styling it. This product smells SO good and makes my hair so smooth from the macadamia and avocado oils. It’s even available in a travel size, making it perfect for my tropical getaways.

These simple steps make a huge difference. I no longer have to manage dry, frizzy hair. As someone that doesn’t like a lot of fuss, these products have really helped achieve my ideal hair texture.

I think you babes will absolutely love these products. I can’t wait for you to try them and tell me what you think!
