State of Wild

It's January and the holidays are over. Anyone else grieving the most wonderful time of the year? Luckily for me, my birthday is coming up in less than two weeks, so I've still got some celebrating to do! I'm also missing this Winter Wonderland my parents and I visited last week. I've been going through my pictures wising I was still there, which will have to do for now! While we were there, it was super cold--a lot colder than I'm used to--so I really had to layer up. I was wearing either a beanie or this cute forest green turband from State of Wild[...]

Malibu, CA Adventure Guide

Malibu, CA

This year, Malibu has been one of my favorite destinations for a day trip. I've had three so far this year--one in January, one in July, and one this month. I decided to make a little city/adventure guide with some of my favorite spots for all of you if you ever decide to visit! It's "27 miles of scenic beauty" and a must if you're in the LA area. I'd consider Malibu the hip "hideout" spot for celebrities or LA locals who want to escape the crazy city vibes for a day.

The SLS Hotel in Las Vegas

Las Vegas, NV

While staying in Las Vegas for WWDMAGIC, I had the amazing opportunity to stay at the new SLS Hotel, courtesy of Matte Black. I've been to the SLS in Beverly Hills for Lucky FABB the past two years, but never got to actually stay there so I was really excited to get the full experience! The whole hotel is very luxurious and classy. I had looked up photos of it beforehand to see what the rooms looked like and I DIED, guys. I saw this pink Victorian room that was like something I had seen in my dreams, and was hoping that I would get that room when I s[...]

Hydrate with Hint Water This Summer

I've been trying to live a healthier lifestyle, and that definitely includes staying hydrated. But I'll be honest--I'm not the best when it comes to staying hydrated. Despite the fact that water is probably my favorite drink, I just forget to consistently drink it all day! But with hint's naturally flavored water, it makes drinking water so much more enjoyable. Hint water is a great all natural alternative to soda and other chemical filled beverages, allowing you to have that guilt free fix, anywhere, anytime. They have several different fruit flavors, but m[...]
