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!

Holiday Makeup Monday Tutorial: Smokey Cat Eye

Holiday Makeup Monday Tutorial: Smokey Cat Eye | Smudged Lived In Makeup Look | Christmas Makeup Looks

I’m not gunna lie, I’m not really happy with how this smokey cat eye look came out. It’s not my worst, but it’s definitely not my best, and I ended up washing it off after snapping these photos and filming a quick video.

I really think not wearing makeup this year has made me really lose my makeup touch. So while these Holiday Makeup Monday Tutorials have been great to get me back in the groove of doing makeup looks other than my everyday 5 minute makeup, they also made me realize how rusty I am!

I really really gotta work on my cat eye…I swear they used to me easier to do!!

PS there’s only ONE MORE Holiday Makeup Monday this year! What should I do? I’m thinking of ending the series with something simple instead of something crazy like I normally do! What do you think?
