I’ve never felt more ready to head someplace hot and sunny.
As I’m typing this, there are power outages happening in the area due to flash flooding. Grant and I have a few ideas for trips currently being marinated on for the end of the month. We are thinking about a quick escape to Mexico late January and have a bigger trip to the Caribbean slated for late February.
In the meantime, I’m loading up my cart with the below pieces that are pulling at my heart strings for resort.

I'm going to try and push the envelope this season with printed swimwear. In the past I usually stick to black, but I'm feeling frisky this year!
A lot of you took a strong liking to my complete paranoias that I shared on social media yesterday.
Heavy rain has been causing massive mud slides and scary effects in California the past few days. It was a strong reminder about how quickly weather and unexpected events can take you from a state of “normal” to “emergency” in a matter of moments.
Because so many of you asked about my emergency kit section of the garage, I thought I’d throw together a little blog post of what’s included in mine.
I discovered Judy in an IG ad and I have to say that it’s one of those “why didn’t I think of this” type of brands. The below emergency backpack is the one that I have which is filled with everything from glow sticks and food to water kits and warmth for up to 4 people. It’s kind of a one stop shop type of emergency kit specifically for hurricanes, earthquakes and more.
There are a few sweet new things I recently discovered on Amazon that I couldn’t wait to share.
Firstly, I think we can all agree that this 2 piece set for $50 is the trophy of December. I just ordered in black and you can see me wearing the apricot color pants in the photo above. I live in these pants. They’re super comfortable and feel like an amazing look for less version of The Row (which I purchased last year and I swear they’re the exact same).
This just seems like a no brainer to me. I love working out in all black but I'm also into wearing these at home.
It's been super chilly in Los Angeles and I quickly noticed that I was in need of a simple black jacket that didn't feel too heavy.
Finally found the perfect puffer vest!
I received the nicest gift to ring in the new year from one of my all time favorite brands, Cèline!
The best part? I genuinely LOVE the scent (I’m really tough to please on a fragrance smell).
* You can order a complimentary sample if you want to try it out!
Happy New Year everyone!
Let’s try things different, shall we?
There’s a collective “burn out” happening right now and I am feeling it too. I recently posted “How I Do It All” where I slightly touched upon my own personal burn out. However, I didn’t really dive into the realness behind why I believe it happened. In my post I explain how I signed up for more than I should have in 2022, but why? Were we making up for “lost time” post Covid? Were we revenge traveling, working, parenting and socializing more than before or did we just feel it differently?
Whatever the reason, it seems as though everyone I know is feeling it. I find solace knowing that we’re all in this together. After all, where are we all rushing to be? What are we rushing to do?
This post will not include a list of resolutions or goals I will set for myself, rather a guidebook and reminder of where I am today and where I want to be in a year from now. To be honest, I would be perfectly happy to be exactly where I am sitting in this moment, emotionally, physically and spiritually in one year from now. I say this because I have not felt this clear probably ever before. However, life moves, shifts and changes and I know that with every breath I am given and take there will be an opportunity for me to be more present and grow. What fun would life be if we didn’t change?
