Relaxed Beach Waves Tutorial with usmooth

Pink Off-the-Shoulder Blouse As most of you probably know, it's important to switch up the shampoo & conditioner you use about every month or so. That being said, I'm always game to try out new brands! When usmooth reached out to have me try some of their products, I was excited to try a more luxury & high performance line of hair care, compared to the drugstore products I've been using lately. I tried the Volume shampoo & conditioner because my hair is super thin and flat, so I'm always trying to find ways to give my hair a little lift. They a[...]

Since middle school or high school, I have had pretty bad acne, and have never found a skincare system that has been able to fully treat it. In a lot of skincare, there are so many chemicals that can be so harsh on such delicate skin, and can even make it worse. That's why I was excited to try out BioClarity, which is a new 100% cruelty free, vegan, and gluten[...]

Feeling Peachy

Happy Monday! The past few days here in Southern California have felt a lot like summer (like, it's 80 degrees today...) so I've been wanting to bring out out all of my spring clothes! I just bought this cute new crochet detail top from Marshalls this weekend and I feel like it's the perfect color to transition into Spring. I'm also wearing my new favorite handbag that I also found at Marshalls, and I have a feeling I'm going to keep this one in my wardrobe fora long time! It's great quality and the style of it is so classic. It's the perfect size because it's[...]
