Every corner of Charleston is picture perfect, but this spot was one of my favorites from this trip 😍

Also I promise to never let this happen again for future trips 🤪 (Folly Beach & Salem coming soon!)

The temperatures were dropping this weekend so @breakfastatetiffany @simplybysimone and I headed up to Foxwoods for a Winter Girls Getaway to escape the cold ❄️

When we visited last Summer we kept saying we COULDN’T WAIT to come back in the Winter because everything you need for the perfect girls weekend - restaurants, bars, fun activities, THE SPA - are all under one roof and you don’t need to step foot outside! So we packed up and headed to Connecticut for the first cold weekend of 2023 and it didn’t disappoint!

My perfect favorites from the weekend were…
🧖🏼‍♀️Massages at @gspaatfoxwoods
🏮Dinner at @redlanternct
⛸️Ice Skating at the Winter Terrace

…but everything we did was so much fun and as always I can’t wait to go back! PS if you’re looking to book a trip NOW is the time! Book your hotel stay by March 10th to receive 20% off deluxe hotel room stays now through April 30 OR 30% off between May 1 and July 31!!

Colorful Summer Makeup with essence cosmetics | Light Pink Eye Makeup Cat Eye | Bold Pink Lipstick | Back to School Makeup at Target | Makeup Tutorial Living After Midnite Blogger Jackie Giardina



I may not be going Back to School this Fall, but that doesn’t stop me from getting excited about Back to School beauty and fashion! Not only am I adding a few new pieces of clothing to my wardrobe to refresh my look with the upcoming change of seasons, but I’m also adding a few new beauty products to my collection!
Adding new beauty products to my collection of course means testing out a few new looks and this bright berry look is the perfect way to spice up your look! Bold lips and smoky eyes are a standard look in every girl’s beauty arsenal, but bold lips and colorful eyes are something most girls are afraid to try! I’m here to tell you that you shouldn’t be afraid to experiment especially when the results turn out this great! A subtle wash of berry eyeshadow on your eyes is a fun way to change up your look for Summer and Fall.

When I’m trying out a new beauty look I don’t want to spend a ton of money on products that I might not necessarily like in the end, but at the same time I don’t want to use products that aren’t of great quality either! Enter essence cosmetics…not only are their products extremely affordable (the most expensive product I saw was $10!), but they’re also great quality! I wore this look on a day where it was 95 degrees out and my makeup looked just as great at 11pm as it did when I applied it at noon!

After 3 long years I finally made it back to the West Coast & of course couldn’t pass up the opportunity to stay in @theramblermotel in Chula Vista, CA. 

And I’m a sucker for colorful, kitschy hotel with a really good coffee shop in the lobby (that happens to be an arcade) so staying here was a no brainer for me 🌈

More San Diego content coming soon! For now check out my highlight for all the details of my trip!
