Valentine’s Day Gifts

Ahhhh Valentine’s Day is just a week away! This is by far one of my favorite holidays. I love that you can celebrate it no matter your relationship status! “Galentine’s Day” has made a huge surge in recent years because celebrating with your gal pals is always a great idea! I think kids have the most fun with this holiday, making cards to hand out in school, offering each other treats and super cute little gifts. If you are IN LOVE then lucky you because this day was made for you! Check out some of my favorite gifts for anyone on your list this year!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Makeup Monday- Chi!

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to take care of my hair, skin and nails! This time last year, I was relying heavily on everyone else to help me keep up my beauty routine.

Winter Wool Coats

I love, love, love a sharp looking wool coat! Winter wool isn’t just for cold temperatures, I like to wear mine as a layering piece in lieu of a sweater, especially in warmer climates like when I’m in California. Throw a coat over your shoulders and turn it into a fashion statement if you are living in warmer climates.

That Winter Glow

I don’t know about you but I am really really missing that summer glow! I was just looking back at pictures from this past summer and noticed my bronze cheeks and effortless glow. Not sure about you but sadly, I am not not traveling anytime soon. I only get Vitamin D when I take a walk around my neighborhood. So, I’ve decided to sprue up my daily beauty routine and get back my summer glow! Here are some of my favorite self bronzing products!

Rocker Chic

This look is my version of rocker chic; comfort meets my inner bad self Haha! Combat boots were not my favorite trend but they are definitely growing on me. Now that I own these, I can officially appreciate the comfort and style of this classic military footwear. These days, I am open to wearing just about any boot that doesn’t have a heel!
