These are all my favorite gel nail colors that I use on my nails 💅🏽 I love rotating between these and I either do them at home with a gel lamp or I request them at the salon when I get a manicure. Most of them I use on my hands but sometimes, if I feel like having polish on my toes, I will match the hand color to the foot color. They are all gorgeous and deeply rich pigmented colors. Love them ❤️

These are the products I buy on a consistent basis at Ulta. I have been using all of these for several months to several years so I know they produce great results. Because I can be prone to hyperpigmentation I like to get products with brightening ingredients so I love using niacinamide 😍

These are my go to body care products! In the winter time I sometimes get what’s called “strawberry skin” especially on my front and backs of arms and thighs. These products help to eliminate that 90 percent if not completely. I also love the shimmer hempz lotion especially for a night out since it shimmers in light. So gorgeous. And of course we love our sunscreen!! The one I suggested doesn’t leave a white cast and has a clean smell to it

These are the products I RELY on lol I use all of these every day, sometimes 2-3x a day. The rose cream and aquaphor stay in my tote bag as hand and cuticle moisturzer. The serums are my staples and help to brighten dark spots and hydrate my skin. Rose water is great for refreshing and toning. I exclusively use Egyptian magic as face cream and cerave as body cream. And a quick tip, curl your lashes and then apply castor oil! You don’t even have to use mascara! Try these and enjoy simply beauty ❤️

These are all the non negotiables for my travel!! My Jansport backpack is my absolute favorite. All my toiletries go in the small pouch in the front and laptop, sweatshirt, a pair of socks, water bottle and snacks go in the main pouch. I always carry two pairs of headphones, the wired ones and my wireless JBL’s. Just in case LOL. Also a charger is a must as you already know. Mosquitos are somehow obsessed with me (sigh) but I carry repellant bracelets with me, put them in my ankle and wrist, and I’m good to go!

These are the products I use when I wear makeup. I like having a light coverage on my skin and these products are perfect for that. Just a nice finishing touch to your already beautiful face 😍 even if you don’t want to use foundation, just using the lip stain and a little blush will give your skin that natural rosy glow 🌹and the kiko gloss has gorgeous pink sparkles in it. Simple and easy to use yet still gorgeous makeup :)

These are my favorite hair products for my curly hair. I like to rotate between the leave in conditioners, depending on what kind of scent I’m feeling like on wash day. If I want extra hold and extra curl, I use the cake mousse as a finishing touch. After you wash and condition your hair, make sure it’s sopping wet and put in your product from mid length to ends. Then use the wet brush to detangle and comb through, to evenly spread product. I usually air dry my hair but if you need a quick dry, I have added a diffuser. And if I go a couple days without a wash, and my curls start to get frizzy, I warm a little of the castor oil butter in my fingertips and run it gently through my ends to smooth them. The mint smell of the shampoo is my favorite and the gentle tingly sensation on my scalp :) enjoy 😘

I love face masks!! They are my favorite part of my routine and if I have time I like to use them daily if not ever 3-4 days a week. The ones I use are natural/ Ayurvedic so they’re really healing and non irritating for the skin. Especially if you have sensitive skin. I also use a homemade mask of Greek yogurt and honey which works wonders 😍 and I use that instead of face wash most days. When I get time to relax I will use the electronic mask and facial micro current devices, I love those!m. They are such a treat for me while watching a movie or reading a book :)

These are the scents I mix and match everyday. Usually I use one or two a day depending on my mood and the caber profile I’m feeling. My usually favorites though are anything rose scented (like the charlotte tilbury and Victoria’s Secret) and the palo santo spray (being fresnhe). The other scents (like the Versace blue jeans and windows down) I save for special occasions. Whatever it is, I just love smelling good and these make me smell amazing 😍

These are the supplements I take on a daily basis. The collagen powder is first thing in the morning on an empty stomach (for best absorption) and the other vitamins are with food (so I have them with a meal)

These are my staples for going to castings, agency meetings, go-sees and even something simple that looks put together even when I go for fittings or jobs. These are basics for models and staples that we must have

Part of my job is creating content for Instagram, Tik Tok, clients, agencies, and different brands and hotels. These are all the things I love and use religiously. I just got started with the sticky pad for my phone and it’s a game changer for GRWMS. My tripod is my holy grail and gets all my self tapes done effortlessly.

These are the dental products I use on an every day basis with the exception of the hydrogen peroxide which I use 1x a week and if I forget 1-2x a month. I like to rinse my mouth with it and always make sure you dilute it with water before rinsing!! The floss glides so well for me and I always have one of the tongue scrapers on me, especially in my travel toiletry bag. They are reusable and so handy and even have a little pick on the end for getting food particles out of the teeth. The Marvis toothpaste is a recent find from one of my trips to England and I have been using it ever since 😍the jasmine one tastes amazing and feels like a special experience every time I brush.

These are spots that locals in Vegas go to. They’re awesome because they’re off the strip so you don’t have to pay for parking or search to find it. They’re all reasonable priced as well for great portions and just overall great spots to have a chill brunch day with friends and family ❤️

I visit St. George Utah quite frequently and this is my list of favorite spots 😍 this is where locals go to enjoy views and yummy bites. My personal favorites that are off the beaten path are River Rock Roasting Co and HB. I go to River rock for the views of the valley and grab a breakfast sandwich and lemon bar 😍 and HB has amazing açãi bowls and a delicious frozen dirty chai. Tons of hikes (easy and difficult and everything in between) in this area as well

When I last went to London these were spots I was primarily in. I especially love the unique charm that is little Venice, and the canals you find all along the streets there. So many cute places to stop at, and this is only slightly out of London city. Not more than a 29 minute train ride!I have also included some plays and musicals in the west end because I LOVE THEM! One of the best immersive experiences of my life. Enjoy 😘

I am a huge movie fan. One of my favorite things to do is go to the theatre with a blanket and snacks and just curl up for an hour or two in a good movie. Here are my all time favorites 😍
