I usually avoid processed foods, but there are a few snacks that are absolutely worth trying. I tend to gravitate toward healthier options, so here’s my list of snacks I think everyone should give a try! Bonus: these make great gift ideas if you’re looking to treat a friend.

I’ll share my favorite places to stay at and eat if you're planning a trip to Hong Kong. I used to live here, so you’ll get local picks, hidden gems, and authentic experiences you won’t find in every guidebook. I'll update and add to this list over time as I go back.

If you’re visiting Miami’s South Beach for the first time, I’ve got a few recommendations. I’ve been there three times, and these are my top picks for enjoying the sun, beaches, and great food. The best time to visit is usually March or April—just keep in mind that prices tend to be higher during this period because it coincides with Ultra Music Festival. Even if you’re not attending Ultra, many hotels host live DJ performances, which can make for a fun experience on its own.

As someone who’s been a hair model for top high-end hair salons across Los Angeles, I’ve learned a lot about what it takes to maintain healthy, beautiful hair. Great hair isn’t just genetics—it’s consistency. That means using high-quality shampoos and conditioners, trimming regularly (at least every three months), and staying away from damaging products or excessive styling. As a swimmer, I’m extra intentional about protecting and nourishing my hair to counteract chlorine and dryness. Every product on this list has earned its spot through real use and real results. If it’s not something I rely on myself, it’s not here.

This is a curated list of skincare products I personally use and truly stand by. I only recommend items I’ve consistently used over time—ones that genuinely work for me. My skin is naturally normal, but as a swimmer, I gravitate toward products that replenish hydration and protect the skin’s barrier. I prioritize gentle formulas with natural, nourishing ingredients and avoid anything overly harsh or complicated. While everyone’s skin is different, I’ve found a routine that keeps mine healthy, smooth, and balanced—and I hope it helps guide you too. I take pride in having great skin, so you can trust that I don’t gatekeep the things that really work.

Stand outs in Downtown LA from a local. Whether you're planning a night out with friends or looking to impress a date, you can't go wrong—every spot delivers. I created this list when my friend came to visit me. I wanted show her around but also get her input before deciding a final itinerary. I am in the process of creating a Youtube video about this experience. Follow and stay tuned for more!
