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 🌈

One of my most asked questions I get about skincare treatments is “How do you know what to book?” with Monika you don’t have to worry about booking the “wrong facial” you can book a treatment by time & she will take care of the rest when she accesses your skin!

Monika customized a 60 minute @biologique_recherche_usa treatment for me that gently exfoliated, plumped fine lines, brightened and smoothed my skin texture 😍 the perfect way to start the New Year!

Have you gotten your New Year, New You facial yet?

First I stopped by @hairhouse_newro for a festive pedicure and the PERFECT Holiday blowout! I love how owner Dana gave the big bouncy hair of my ((sugarplum)) dreams and exactly what I asked for!

Then I headed down to @nicksnewhairdesign to get tinsel added to my hair…yes TINSEL! The hottest 2022 Holiday trend can be added to your hair and I can’t tell you how obsessed I am with how it turned out! Since I walked out of the salon I’ve had people stop me on the streets asking me about it!

These are just 2 of the many New Rochelle Downtown Merchants that can help you get Holiday ready this season! Head over to @newrodowntown on Instagram to find out more!

December 2019 Round Up

Anthropologie Amal Textured Mini Dress Holiday Outfit Inspiration

There’s nothing like posting your December 2019 Round Up on January 20, 2020…TWENTY days late. You’re totally welcome to shake your head at me. I knew my round up was going to be a little late because I was in California to celebrate New Years and I didn’t want to be on computer much while I was there, but I figured I’d get it up once I got home. Now it’s been 2 full weeks since I touched back down in New York and not only have I not got around to posting it, I also haven’t posted on Instagram. Whoops!

I just needed a break, a moment to collect my thoughts and map out the next year, figure out what the 2020 version of my blog is going to look like. And one week turned into two. And in the meantime I read 5 books, actually got to sleep at a semi normal time of night, have become addicted to closing the rings on my new Apple watch (only didn’t hit it for 2 days so far since the New Year), finished Season 3 of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Season 6 of Grace & Frankie, and much more.

But back to December for now…

 

DECEMBER 2019 BEAUTY

December might as well have been beauty month! Between my second 31 Day Lipstick Challenge (this time with friends!), my Holiday Makeup Monday series AND finding the ultimate nail salon in Westchester it was jam packed with beauty inspiration here on the blog and on Instagram!
