18 months late, but my NEW Charleston Travel Guide 18 months late, but my NEW Charleston Travel Guide is LIVE 💙☀️ & thankfully I’m just as obsessed with these photos now as I was in September 2021!

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!!

mark. make-up Monday: Instant Vacation

Here in America we are celebrating Memorial Day Weekend – the unofficial kick off to Summer! In NY it has been completely beautiful the entire long weekend – a nice break from the the 2 weeks of rain we’ve had. I finally got a little bit of color ((thank god)) & I’ve spent the weekend relaxing and enjoying my 4 days off!
I hope you all enjoy my giant curly messy hair because it will pretty much be like this the whole Summer because its just too hot to do anything else with it ((unless I get a keratin treatment again like I did last Summer – then my hair will look amazing at all times! lmao Check out last Summer’s keratin post HERE))
Summer Holiday/BBQ/Party Make-up is all about SPF, Glowing/Dewy Skin & Less is More to me! Your skin looks too good in the Summer with a natural glow to cover it up with lots of product!! Here’s what I used for this minimal Summer Look!!
All products are mark. & can be picked up @ http://jgiardina.mymarkstore.com

  1. Prep entire face with For Goodness Face Moisturizer SPF 30 – SPF should be the most important factor in your summer makeup routine
  2. Apply Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 (in Buff/Natural) to entire face with hands. Apply Get a Tint Shimmer Tinted Moisturizer SPF 15 (in Ivory/Nude) to cheeks, forehead & chin using mark.’s Foundation Brush. **Brand New Product out next month** Really gives you that dewy, glowing look!
  3. Use Good Riddance Concealer (in Ivory/Nude) to cover any blemishes & under eye circles.
  4. Apply Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Peachy to apples of cheeks & blend with fingers.
  5. Apply Bronze Pro in Pro Glow to cheeks using mark.’s Angled Contour Face Brush.
  6. Apply iMark in Biscotti to entire lid. Apply Gioai to crease, corners of eyes & lightly underneath lower lash line.
  7. Apply 2 coats of Scandalash Mascara in Blacklash to upper and lower lashes.
  8. Apply Lipclick SPF 15 Lipstick in Nudie to lips.

SPF SPF SPF…these should be your 3 favorite letters during the Summer months!!! I use SPF in my daily moisturizer, in my tinted moisturizer & in my lipstick/lip balm!! 
I feel like people always forgot to protect their lips from the Summer sun! I love mark.’s lip products designed to protect your lips! 
–> Their brand new LipClick SPF 15 Lipstick comes in 8 sheer shades perfect to achieve that super trendy lipstick look while protecting at the same time! 
–> If lipstick isn’t your think check out mark.’s Totally Balmed SPF 15 Tinted Lip Balm. This Lip Balm comes in 4 super sheer shades that provide protection with just the slightest hint of color!!!
Lets face it when your lounging at the pool all you need in SUNSCREEN, LIP BALM & SUNGLASSES!! & mark. has you covered!!

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!
