Book the trip, take the scenic route, stay in the Book the trip, take the scenic route, stay in the Instagrammable hotel, do all the things ✈️

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!

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!

October 2019 Round Up

Ghostbusters Halloween Costume Girl Gang Group Costumes BFF Best Friend

Another Halloween season comes to an end and I’m not going to lie this has definitely been my best and most fun Halloween season to date! Not only did we shoot some EPIC Halloween content, but I’m SO happy than Megan and I expanded the Halloween team and got Gita and Diego on board. I literally can’t wait for next year…is it bad I’m already brainstorming costume ideas? And if you’ve been living under a rock make sure to check out all my Halloween content & my Halloween Instagram Hashtag #HalloweenAfterMidnite before I start pumping out holiday content!

October 2019 Life

I’m trying to do more guides on the blog and my Best Apple Orchards Close to New York City from earlier this month got SO much interest! If you didn’t get a chance to utilize it this month definitely PIN IT for next year so you can check out some of my favorite orchards!

My dad’s had a townhouse there for over 10 years and it’s easily one of my favorite places to visit. I’ve never done a blog post about it, but I’m thinking I need to ASAP because it’s the BEST. If you need any recommendations in the meantime feel free to email me and I’ll give you ALL my favorites!

October 2019 Westchester

I ate at a LOT of good Westchester Restaurants over the past month so this section my Round Up is dedicated to EVERYTHING you need to try if you haven’t already!

UntitledSea Bass with Fennel Salad and Farro at The Rare Bit in Dobbs Ferry – They just debuted their new menu and this fish special was AMAZING!

Aqui Es Santa Fe I don’t remember what this was called, but it’s a sweet corn bread dessert at Aqui Es Santa Fe in Port Chester that you NEED in your life!

The Beehive Armonk New York Breakfast BrunchIf you live in Westchester County or any of the surrounding areas and you’ve never been to the Beehive for breakfast you need to cancel your weekend plans and get there! I’m not even going to give any recommendations because EVERYTHING is amazing!

The Whitlock Katonah New York Dinner Mussels FriesI’ve been going to The Whitlock in Katonah for FOREVER for lunch, but I finally made it for dinner last weekend and as always it was amazing! Don’t miss the Tempura Green Beans (an absolute must), Tuna Tartare, Mussels and Chorizo & Shrimp Burger!

Petal it Forward Bedford Village Flower Shoppe Westchester County New YorkAnd this may not be food related, but I just wanted to throw it back to Petal It Forward Day with Simone and the Bedford Village Flower Shoppe earlier this month because it just deserves to be talked about again! Learn all about the Petal It Forward Initiative here and stay tuned for more fun things happening around the county with Simone and I soon!

October 2019 Home Updates

I know, I know, I’ve been promising an apartment update for what feels like MONTHS, but I PROMISE I’ll get one up this month. In the meantime I wanted to share a sneak peek of how my dining room nook is coming together! What do we think?? I also FINALLY added pendant lights and a runner to my kitchen that I’m completely in love with! While my apartment will always be a work in progress, it’s definitely feeling extra cozy and very me as of late.

Most popular item of October 2019

I’m going to share 2 different items for most popular item of the month! First up, the most clicked on item was the black Amazon T-shirt dress I used to create my Miss Universe Costume! Not surprised by this at ALL! So many people purchases all the supplied to recreate that costume and if you’re one of them tag me in your pics, I want to see!! But the most purchased item of October were these Timberland boots I shared in my 12 Pairs of Fall Booties I’m Currently Obsessed With post and on my Instagram stories a couple weeks ago! I talked about how much I loved them (watch the video here) and you guys clearly love them too. If you’re looking for a more rugged pair of booties, that are waterproof, super comfortable and have just the right size heel I can’t recommend these enough!
