{Eating Pretty} a quick skin story

For some reason, it took me THIS long to realize that my most recent skin struggle probably has more to do with the food I'm eating than with the topical products I'm using (or not using for that matter).

Most people live their entire lives with these food sensitivities (bloating, indigestion, acne) and have no idea whats causing it or why its happening in general.

Latest "App"session

f you're anything like... well, most women I know, you probably have more than a handful of clothes (or stuff in general) in your closet that exist purely out of the "just-in-cases."

Needless to say, I've accumulated several of these pieces in my closet over the past few months/years!

Unlike other websites and apps where you can directly sell stuff from your closet with a few clicks, Depop Market is 100% free with no hidden fees attached.

{April in Miami} First Vlog!

I've been meaning to start playing around with iMovie ever since I scooped up my new computer back in October. 'Bout time I got back into the editing booth (or, ahem, my plastic foldout desk and ikea chair).

{gone camping}

6 years ago a tradition was born. Striving to do something different for my birthday, I thought it'd be a fun idea to get away from traffic, clubs, parking, annoying lines, and over-priced drinks... and instead go camping for the weekend.

{7 Days of Halloween 2.0}

It's taken me a bit to fully recover from this year's 7 Days of Halloween series, so please excuse the lateness of this post!!

I am overwhelmed by the amount of support and positive feedback I've received from this year's series of pictures. It truly is a fun experience for me as I love to experiment and makeup has always been a creative outlet, especially during Halloween season.

Enjoy this years #7DOH looks followed by some fun never-before-seen "extras" that didn't exactly make it to the stage.

{Weekend Recipe: Fall Sticky Crisp}

This recipe was born from a sudden craving for something sweet & crunchy. I pretty much threw a bunch of things together (whatever I could find in my kitchen) that I felt had complimenting flavors and textures.

{#jotd}

There's no denying I have a slight obsession with jewelry. It's by far one of my largest collections and I really do have a little bit of every style, material, and trend. The best part about accessorizing with jewelry is that it's 100% customizable, interchangeable, and also ever-evolving. One day you're into dainty chains and charms, and the next day you're decked out in a large statement necklace and a studded leather cuff. It's all good. The same way I like to "dress my mood" I also play with my jewelry to add dimension to outfits.

{fall fashion for hot weather}

As a Miami-an, it's tough to accept that I won't be donning that perfectly fitting faux leather bomber jacket, the one that instantly makes me look way cooler than I really am, until maybe late November. (If I'm lucky!)

Here are some of my personal tips on how to wear fall fashion, even when its borderline hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk.

{turkish silver}

It's no secret that Turkish silver (or Turkish silver inspired) jewelry has been on the front line of the accessory drawers of boho-chic bloggers and fashionistas across the board. There's something so effortless about throwing on a chunky silver neck plate and jingly coins with a casual tee and some ripped denim.
