    My magical Kame N’ Leon bag from BeautynMadness

        I was recently gifted this fabulous bag from @BeautyNMadness_  It’s their number one seller, the Kame n’ Leon. This magical bag reflects the light creating beautiful colors. Depending on the light, the color intensity varies, but in direct sunlight the bag lights up and shines like magic! Their bags come in several different shapes and sizes. I love how roomy it is inside and the hidden pockets make it easy to organize. It also has an adjustable cross body strap, making it super easy and functionable for every occasion! This handbag is definitely a showstopper! It’s the perfect gift for the colorful, fashionable, trendsetting gal. Check out their…

    Pumpkin patch time!

    One of my favorite activities to kick off the Fall season is visiting the pumpkin patch! This year we headed to Seasonal Adventures which has several locations in Southern California. And boy were we in for a treat! Their pumpkin patches are designed to be a fun safe family experience. It’s a great spot for the kiddos and the young at heart! Each lot has fun activities like the bungee jump, mechanical rides, fun games, a petting zoo, inflatable jump house, giant inflatable slides, and huge inflatable obstacle courses! My favorite part is of course the pumpkins! They have thousands to choose from in all shapes, sizes, and colors! I…

    Saved by the Max pop up!

    I never thought I’d say this but I was actually so excited to go back to high school! Bayside high school to be exact! That’s right friends, the early 90’s popular Saturday morning show “Saved by the Bell” is brought back to life via the pop-up restaurant Saved by the Max! 2 of my girlfriends and I headed out to West Hollywood at 8pm on a Thursday night. (Now, this is L.A., so the fact that I even made it there in one piece was a miracle itself, faced with traffic, semi trucks, and parking structure situations… but that could be a whole other blog post! LOL!) From the outside,…

    How I improved my skin with Joyome

    Hi babes! I’m going to be totally honest and vulnerable with you and share pictures of myself makeup free! LOL! I used to hate baring my face and would never dare go out in public without at least applying foundation! I had  discoloration, dark spots, uneven texture, and occasional acne flareups! No fun!
