I love to look good but I hate to try. Like actually putting in the effort the in the mornings is SO HARD; so I needed to put some favorites together to be sure I always look put together. BIGGEST TIP: invest in every day jewelry (see separate list) that is high quality and that you never have to remove. This immediately enhances ANY outfit. My stapes include hoops, rings, and a bracelet stack.

I LOVE COFFEE. When you visit Carmel, do not go to Starbucks and try a local favorite.

Making a house a home is my favorite thing to do. I LOVE thrifiting for cute little items, but know when you're moving into a new place you need some items right away to fill blank spaces. My tip: don't go crazy with mass-made things, but here are my must haves to make your house feel like home.

Here's one thing about me: I need all my things to relax, so when I travel, I prefer to drive so anything and everything can come along. I also don't love unpacking. However, I recently went on my honeymoon, which led me to curate the perfect, based-on-your-current-products, and small-enough-it-could-fit-in-my-carry-on kit that STAYS packed. Is it excessive? Maybe. Use this plus my travel makeup to be ready for any vacation! PSA: a lot of this requires you depotting product into a TSA approved package or buying a mini version.

Travel make-up made easy. Keep it simple and have fun, and you do not need to buy new brushes or tools. Use your hands and what is already in your makeup bag to make this kit work for you.
