If you have been on social media recently, you’ve noticed there’s been an abundance of new products coming out, specifically blushes. However, one blush in specific has taken the internet by storm, and for good reason. Today we’re going to be talking about the Rhode pocket blushes, and why they are worth spending your hard earned money on.

Why is it Worth my Money?

3 words: color, blendability, and aesthetics.

Blendability:

My number one reason to recommend this blush would definitely because of how creamy and blendable it is. It truly glides onto the skin like butter and seeps in almost immediately, in the best way possible. You still get the color payoff that you’re looking for with one swipe, but it sinks into the skin and becomes cohesive with the rest of your makeup or skincare, making for a perfect blush whether you are doing a full face or just a bare face with some blush. It is slightly glowy, but not in a way that makes you look greasy or sweaty. To me, it looks absolutely seamless.

Aesthetic:

I will not lie, another huge part of buying this product is simply the aesthetic that comes with it. Although the packaging is a bit bulky, I enjoy it. It definitely is not the most convenient for travel, but the packaging really makes it seem like its a pocket size blush. The roundness of the packaging and the relaxing color scheme makes it so easy on the eye, making for an aesthetic product to keep amongst your makeup or on your vanity.

Final Thoughts

The Rhode blushes are not only aesthetic, they are also a beautiful quality product that give a boost to your makeup routine. Providing a beautiful flush of color combined with a glow, I truly believe this product won’t make you regret your purchase.

As summer comes and goes, so do our relationships and situationships. In the city of Los Angeles, where the opportunities are endless, we can sometimes get stuck with finding the perfect date idea that wont break the bank too much. Today, I’ll be sharing a beautiful itinerary for a date to remember!

What To Do

To begin with, I would recommend starting off at a museum. My favorite would have to be the Getty Museum because of its convenience, gorgeous art, and affordability. To begin with, I would recommend making your way to the Getty at noon, around 12pm or so. This way, it won’t be too hot to enjoy but you will also have the entire day ahead of you. Start out at the outdoor gardens where you can enjoy the beautiful trees, flowers, and birds. This is a great spot for couples to take a stroll and even get some instagram pictures in. Grab a coffee and pastry from one of the stands to keep yourselves hanging until a late lunch after the museum and take a stroll through the different buildings, enjoying the different eras of art and sculptures. The art in this museum is so spectacular and the buildings themselves are incredibly scenic too, making for a great photo spot. If you’d like you could even have a little picnic with your loved one on the soft grass before you make your way along the different art. Just make a reservation for the time you’d like and be prepared to pay a 25$ fee for parking!

What’s Next?

After exploring the museum for a while, you and your loved one are likely to have rumbling stomachs. Lucky for you, I have the perfect spot to visit afterwards to feel satiated. If a delicious, authentic, mouth watering, Italian restaurant sounds good enough to you, head over to Pizzana. Their pizzas are absolutely to die for and the variety of Italian foods on their menu make it so that everyone can find something they love here. The atmosphere is casual and warm, the food is remarkable, and the service is so attentive and friendly. Also, its a close drive by the Getty, so you wont have to struggle so much on the commute. You definitely won’t regret going here for a wonderful time and some amazing food.

This was my guide to a beautiful summer date with your loved one, full of the beauty of simplicity. I hope you give this itinerary a try and let me know how you enjoy it. Please do also make sure to take pictures and enjoy your time! Till the next date 🙂

Summer is for having fun, and what’s some fun without friends? When you’re stuck trying to find options and can’t think of anything, I’m here to help. Below, you can find one of the best summertime activities to do with friends, family, or even alone!

What is it and Why This Activity?

One of my most highly recommended activities to do any time, but especially in the summer, is going to a pottery place like Color Me Mine and painting some pottery. Not only is it incredibly therapeutic, you can choose to do it with as many people as you’d like. The price is almost entirely up to you, as you only pay for what you paint, plus around an 8$ fee. This means if you feel like having fun on a budget, you can just choose a smaller or more inexpensive pottery item to paint and if you feel like going all out, you can do the opposite.

What Can I Expect?

I am going to speak specifically about Color Me Mine, but I’m sure any other place like it will have the same process. You go in and choose the piece of pottery you would like to paint and show it to an employee who will give you some short paperwork to fill out when you must later pick up your creation. Paintbrushes and paints are provided, so all that’s left is to use your imagination, pick some colors and tools, and get to painting! You can take as long as you’d like, of course keeping in mind closing times of the stores, and make your creation as detailed or impulsive as you’d like. Finally, pick up your creation about a week later once they are done being glossed and heated. What I love most about these places are their lack of boundaries for the imagination. Feel free to go wild with your creativity!

Is the End Result Worth it?

A thousand times yes. Especially if you choose something practical like a plate, vase, bowl, or mug, I definitely believe you get your money’s worth. Not only do you have a piece of art that you can use, you also put a piece of you into it, making it more special. Also, because it is so easy to have friends join you and do this activity with many people, it makes it all that more memorable and fun. This is also why I think it could be a very sentimental gift to someone too, being as you put your own twist to useful objects.

Final Verdict

Do yourself a favor, gather some friends and family, and go paint some pottery, no matter how old or young you are.

Summer is when we swim all day and tan in between, but that also comes with nasty sunburns that follow us no matter how hard we try to prevent them. For today’s how to, I will be sharing my favorite sunburn care that will leave you feeling hydrated and soothe your skin. As a reminder, this is not advice for serious sunburns that need medical attention, just those light red burns we sometimes achieve after a tan.

Why

• it is an extremely weightless formula so it doesn’t feel heavy on the skin
• formulated with shea butter and aloe, ensuring that it soothes the skin while also hydrating it intensely
• does not contain oxybenzone or octinoxate to ensure best treatment of the skin
• cruelty free, and environmentally safe certified

What’s the Bonus?

An absolutely delicious scent of papaya and coconut makes for the most aromatic smelling skin you have ever had. It smells like you just stepped off of the beach of a private island in the tropics, and trust me when I say the smell is not overpowering or artificial. Use this lotion and prepare to not only feel good, but smell divine

Ladies, I hope you try out this product and see for yourselves just how wonderful it is. Please let me know if you do and please share your thoughts when and if you try it!

How to Make it

The best part about this yogurt is that it is customizable to your cravings and wants, but I’ll list below a few different ways to have them. Start off with your base, a good yogurt you enjoy. My personal favorites are the Chobani Honey Greek Yogurt or the Zoi Honey Greek Yogurt just because I have found they have less additives and gums. Then comes the fun part, your toppings. You can add up anything you would like, whether it’s fresh fruit, granola, chocolate, cookie dough, or nuts. My personal favorite is to first make a chocolate shell by melting some dark chocolate and coconut oil together and pouring it over top the yogurt in the fridge to let it harden for a few minutes. While that’s happening, I make a simple berry syrup by cooking down some strawberries and a few blueberries for 3-5 minutes and then pouring it atop by yogurt. Finally, I finish it off with some sliced fresh fruit and some granola. My favorite granola lately has been the Purely Elizabeth Chocolate Chip granola or the Purely Elizabeth Honey Almond granola simply because it is absolutely delicious while also having clean ingredients.

What Part of this is Good for You?

The yogurt itself is a great source of protein that will keep you feeling full, but not heavy throughout your day while also introducing good bacteria and probiotics to your system. If you decide to make the dark chocolate shell, dark chocolate is known to improve blood circulation, improve brain function, and supply powerful antioxidants. Fruit, whether as a syrup or fresh, provides a good amount of fiber to the body that will ensure that digestion comes much more easily. Finally, granola that contains nuts help control the blood sugar regulation and give a boost to energy, making for a delicious, yet healthy breakfast for your system!

Try out a yogurt bowl yourself and customize it to your preferences. Get creative, find yourself toppings you really enjoy, and please share them with me! I hope you all enjoy 🙂

As the summer gets hotter and the UV gets higher, our skin is constantly fighting to stay hydrated and moisturized. Swimming at the beach and in pools definitely does not help with this issue, so I’m here to help. Keep reading below to find out my favorite product for hydrated, silky, supple skin!

Hello Ladies and welcome back for another summer product recommendation. As an oily skin and hyper-hydrosis girl, my skin is almost always hydrated; however, summer rolls around and I get to swimming and my skin on my body dries out so quickly. This is how I started experimenting and found the best product to achieve the glow of my dreams.

What is it?

What are the Benefits?

This body oil is infused with avocado, argan, and olive oils that work together to moisturize the skin to the fullest extent. It is extremely fast absorbing, your skin just drinks it up, and delivers instant nourishment. Another bonus is the delicious scent. Crafted with a blend of spicy amber aromas and sweet floral notes, it delivers the signature MorrocanOil scent.

How do I use it?

I like to use my body oil immediately after a shower. I exfoliate in the shower to prep my skin, but the moment I step out and dry off with a towel, I spritz some directly onto my skin and massage. You don’t need to do an intensive massage as it soaks up into the skin very quickly, so I just rub it in in circles for a minute or two. Best of all, it does not leave me feeling sticky at all.

Final Thoughts

I think this product is exceptional at doing what it claims to do, hydrating and keeping skin soft and supple. Because it is so good at what it does, plus it offers a delicious scent and luxe feeling packaging, I would definitely recommend this to all those who want just that. Especially because of how dry our skin can get in the summer, I would recommend this product now more than ever.

Welcome back to my summer series “how to’s”! Today’s product is one that I absolutely love using all throughout the year, but especially in the summer. To me, it smells exactly like summer and feels so hydrating but luxurious, so without babbling on much longer, let me share exactly what it is.

What is it?

What Does it Do?

What Are the Benefits?

This shower gel is infused with argan oil, making for an extremely hydrating lather that will leave your skin cleansed but soft; perfect after a day at the beach or out at the pool. Argan oil is also rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids, hence why it has been used for centuries upon centuries for healthy skin and nails. The scents themselves are a huge plus for the product and combined with the packaging, they make for a very luxe feel and experience. To me, this product essentially feels like summer in a bottle. PS, I have had mine for a year and I’ve barely used up half the bottle, so a little goes a long way.

Final Thoughts

If you love aesthetic products that have a luxe feel without an insanely luxe price point, that also do what they claim to, then this product is definitely for you. Explore with the scents and see what feels best on your skin, but do yourself a favor and get yourself this shower gel for the summer, or make the entire year your summer 🙂
