This fall I’m so inspired to take tonal dressing to a whole new level. From warm camel to creamy beige tones in my clothes, and now even in my hair! I just warmed up my platinum blonde locks for this cozy season with the Kevin Murphy Sugared.Angel Creamy Beige Colour. I apply it in the shower for a few minutes to tone it to the color I desire, and touch up every once in a while! So easy to use, and the simplest way to take control of your hair style and give yourself a fresh new feel.

As a woman, I sometimes crave a change of hair style as often as my mood changes!!! And I know I’m not alone! What’s even better is it comes in four shades for any season, mood, or preference! So if you’re looking for a new hair tone to spice up your look a little, the Sugared.Angels are a great way to experiment!

Lately my hair has been acting so weird and I have no idea what’s going on! Is it the weather in LA? I’ve been shopping around for new products to try, and was happy to try out 3 Matrix products this month! Here’s the low down on my current hair situation, and which of the 3 sets were my favorite…

You all know my hair is very light blonde. It used to be white, but I had to stop bleaching it due to the damage it was causing. Living in the southwest desert for a while, and then the CA coast, all the sun, dryness, and mineral water really took a major toll on my hair. I’ve been battling the constant brittle dryness for over a year, trying new products left and right, then avoiding all products after a crazy experience, and now being more educated- trusting only certain products.

It’s not an easy place to recover from, so I’m happy to say I think I’ve gained some sort of balance and can bring my hair back from the brink of destroyed with some easy steps, even while changing up products and brands.

After testing out 3 Matrix Shampoos & Conditioners this month, here are my thoughts:

Mega Sleek is probably my top choice of the three. It definitely softened my hair and even gave it a nice dense volume that was a bonus for my fine hair. I did notice a lot of shedding after getting out of the shower, but that could be of the intense cleansing nature of the shampoo.

Hydra Source was my second favorite- also great! The shampoo cleansed my hair to get rid of all the built up minerals, then I really liked the tub of conditioner that felt a little more like a super quick deep conditioner. Leave it in 1-3 mins and you’re good to rinse. I found it did hydrate my hair great! I did notice some shedding after the shower with this product as well. I believe it is a strong enough product to use without any other moisturizing products. When I added some hair oil before drying my hair, a typical routine for me, I noticed it was just a little more oily than usual and hard to keep clean feeling even with daily dry shampoo. So by itself, it’s just enough!

Color Last was my third choice, just because I don’t necessarily need to use Color Last products with my current hair color. But if you have trouble keeping your blonde or tone just right, this may be the product you want! It uses orchid with moisturizing properties to protect the color from fading. I thought this one was pretty nice! I didn’t find anything wrong with it, unlike a lot of other products I use. So I vote it’s definitely a safe option if you’re skeptical about hair products!

Over all, I hear a lot of good stuff about Matrix and I’m excited to keep trying out some new products from their different lines!

Having tried out Dolce & Gabbana’s L’impératrice 3, I immediately fell in love. The packaging is chic and minimal, and the smell is 100% me. I tend to lean towards more unique, rare scents. One that someone wouldn’t recognize easily. I personally find light, slightly floral, fruity scents fit my personality and this one meshes with my body perfectly.

If you didn’t already know, a scent changes when it mixes with your skin, blood, and body scent. It may smell one way on someone, and different on someone else. I think that makes the whole world of perfumes such a magical mystery. Hunting down the ones you love is intriguing!

I’m so acutely aware of smells that it is important to me, and to feeling good, that I find a scent and wear it daily. I have a few that I mainly stick to, but right now my heart belongs to The Empress. I think it’s the perfect scent going into the new year, and soon spring. The notes that I smell the most are the melon and floral, with a hint of musk. It’s so feminine and unique that I think it demands to be noticed, but it’s over the top. A more detailed scent that your average shopping mall perfume. If someone sprayed me in the face with L’impératrice 3, I wouldn’t even mind, haha! And I’m not sponsored to say this.

Inspired to smell, dress, live, and love like an Empress.

So for almost a whole year, I’ve been happy to call Toni & Guy (Irvine, CA) my home salon! My locks are personally cared for by my hair stylist Lindsay Baker (@bylindsaybaker), who is the Advanced Creative Director of Toni & Guy. She is absolutely wonderful, and has done everything and more to help rescue my hair from the torment it goes through, thanks to past bleaching, constant styling, and dry west coast atmosphere/CA water. She always works with me to create the look I want, and took my basic beach waves to the French Fringe I desired- which I know you guys have loved since I got it early 2017!

You’ve seen my salon BTS on my Instagram Stories, but I wanted to give an in depth review of my experience here on the blog! Because if you’re in the Orange County area, you need to hit up Toni & Guy! Located at the Irvine Spectrum Center.

I always have a blast with the salon crew, and I really trust my hair with Lindsay. It’s a high-fashion, sleek salon that feels straight up Vogue. I know I’ll always get the royal treatment with their amazing services. My typical salon day at T&G includes a color touch up/tone (if needed), wash, deep conditioning Olaplex Treatment, Blowout, hair trim, full styling, and photoshoot (well, that’s just for me)!

While I get my hair done, Lindsay also cuts and style Josh’s hair, because we like to stay on brand in the T&G family. Haha! And I have to say, it’s always been so hard to get that high quality, movie star hair cut for Josh at other salons. No one ever knew what I wanted for him. But Lindsay at Toni & Guy gets it perfect every time. She’s the best!

So if you’re without a home salon, or looking to try something new, please check out Toni & Guy! Tell them I referred you! You won’t be sorry.

With new seasons come new things. Our blog got a rebrand (from Ready Gypset Go to Jetset Lust), and so did my favorite skincare brand! Formerly known as Hello Aglow, Averr Aglow still remains one of my go-to skincare lines that I use every day. I promise you, with everything I’ve tried, I’ve narrowed down my current favs to a select few, because I’m very picky about what products I promote, more or less what I use on myself. And this is one I tell all my friends about.

Averr Aglow presents the same great products, plus the new Luminous Complexion Toner you can now pre-order, which I’m so excited to try out next! This complete skincare kit provides all you need to maintain your healthy glow so that it’s actually possible to go makeup free. Its true, and I have done it! Even my husband uses it, so I know it works on all skin types because it’s natural.

I brought my Averr Aglow with me to Paris, where the Clear Skin Elixir was born! Averr Aglow first created this concoction with French pink clay during a trip to Paris, and naturally found something magical about it. When I found this out, I loved the products even more. There’s something so special about taking inspiration from the places you go and allowing it to be born into something such as art, writing, and physical creations. It’s like fusing your memories and experiences with something that can be shared with the world.

If you haven’t tried Averr Aglow yet, please do! You deserve the healthiest glowing skin that makes you confident!

Summer is all about being confident in your skin. We spend our days getting closer to nature and embracing the outdoors. I always feel like my normal makeup routine is too heavy for natural summer days, and end up striving to lose as much of the primping process as possible. My hair goes in braids at night for natural waves, I attempt to get a tan (or use self tanner) for a more healthy natural glow, and I focus more on my beauty and skin products to have a clean canvas for less makeup.

Going with a “no makeup” look can actually be super easy, provided you start with the right base- healthy skin! I used to believe that I’d have good skin days and bad, and my confidence would rely heavily on those good days. But after some years of blogging and trying out so many different products, I’ve found that it’s possible to have those good skin days 90% (if not more) of the time, when you treat your skin to exactly what it needs! When your skin is healthy and radiant, your confidence is there to be your true self and not feel the need to hide under makeup. I end up looking for enhancing products to throw on and go that aren’t “makeup”- which I can say really confuses the workers at Sephora and Ulta, haha! I will be excited to share my perfect product discovery for my non-makeup look in an upcoming post!

But for now, I can’t tell you enough how important it is to start your beauty routine with an amazing skincare routine. Hello Aglow‘s artisanal botanical skincare is basically what I recommend for everyone because it’s friendly for all skin types, is natural, and actually WORKS.

I can honestly say that even I am skeptical of products after using many that I didn’t like. It happens that a lot of skincare products I’m sent end up sitting on a shelf, and my hubby ends up trying them because he gets all my hand-me-downs, hahaha. Sometimes I don’t give products enough time to see their full potential, so when Josh starts using them and I see his skin looking kind of amazing, I’m all like WAIT what did you use?!

I can hands down say while in Paris, Josh and I both fell in love with the Hello Aglow complete kit. And we have 2 different types of skin! I don’t know what else to say, other than if you’re on the hunt for what’s going to give you the perfect skin blank canvas, I recommend starting off with Hello Aglow! The complete Clear Skin Kit has everything you need. But if you want to start small, the Radiant Cleansing Nectar is a MUST for getting truly cleansed skin.

I only want to rep brands that I’ve had good experiences with… yes, I’ve had bad experiences with some products… a lot, actually! Which makes the good ones stand out even more! So now there’s less shady experimenting on your part, as I basically was the test guinea pig and found all the ones worth trying. And I’ll keep updating the blog with all the new ones I discover!

So, a little about my routine with Hello Aglow:

I currently use only 3 skincare brands in my daily routine, and I switch between the 3 regularly from morning to night, or day to day, depending on what my skin is craving.

Every day or every other day, I use the Hello Aglow Radiant Cleansing Nectar on a cotton pad before bed. I soak the pad with four quick dumps from the bottle, and lightly wipe my face with the nectar. Then with the clean side of the pad (or with a new pad, if your face was really dirty), I gently buff out my skin in a circular motion- this is where the glow comes from!!!

I’m not lying when I tell you this stuff cleanses like no other cleanser. It seems the oils in the Nectar really pull out all the leftover dirt and makeup out of my pores. Like, even after I take a shower and wash my face, the cotton swab will be completely brown with all the excess dirt that my normal cleanser didn’t get out of my skin. Living in CA is really dusty, so this is a MUST HAVE product for me. Like I said, I use it every night or every other day depending on how grungy my skin is feeling. Also good for cleansing when you start to feel too oily, too dry, or broken out.

I use the Clarifying Hydration Dew before the Nectar, sometimes even after too- about 4-6 sprits on my face. This stuff is so refreshing and I think helps balance the skin to prepare it for the oils of the Cleansing Nectar. But I also use it any time of the day to refresh my skin. Hot, dry days call for this spray even more. It smells like roses and all things lovely.

On mornings or nights where I want feed my skin all the healthy stuff, I follow up with the Flawless Nourishment Cream. This stuff is a really fine cream that can feel oily, but I promise you it’s light and soaks in right away, adding to that radiant glow that this skincare line is known for. You only need the slightest amount- which I rub between my fingers and gently rub into my face. This stuff is like food for your skin, and I feel like it’s the best to use before bed as it feels like a super fine face mask. Or if you want to go makeup free for the day. Otherwise, give your skin a little time after using before applying foundation. And if it feels too oily for you, finish off with some sprits of Hydration Dew, which helps it absorb and dry a bit faster! I use this cream on days where I don’t need a heavier/thicker moisturizer.

As for the pink clay Clear Skin Elixir, I use this stuff rarely, as it’s my go to for when my skin is just generally misbehaving and needs to be “reset”. I generally don’t break out, but when I do, I know it’s because my skin is imbalanced. Or if I get a scaly dry patch of skin, which usually happens around my nose area. I’ll apply this face mask at night and it draws out all the toxins and impurities, to leave me with balanced skin in the morning. The mask usually is gone by morning, but you may have to wash off any excess product. Definitely a good one to have on hand when the season changes or travel affect your skin.

I totally 100% recommend Hello Aglow to anyone, wether you have great skin or difficult skin! It just works for any skin type and really is the healthy stuff you want to be using on your face. Remember, anything you apply to your skin absorbs into your blood stream within 30 seconds! So I always say, go for something good enough to eat, because you are literally feeding these products to your skin (the biggest organ in your body)!

Stay tuned for more posts about my top recommended products, coming up in the near future!

With summer around the corner, I’ve had a desire to cleanse and renew. From health to the products I put on my body, to my personal style and photography.

I’m really going after the areas of my life that need tended to. Stresses and my insane schedule have left me pretty down for the count, and my health has taken a bit of a bashing because of it all. In times like this, I have to re-establish some of my core values, such as my self-worth, what I find my identity in, and what will keep me healthy and happy. Working to please everyone else NEVER ends up doing you any good. I work and exist in an industry that constantly takes away from my peace of mind. Wether it’s fighting to stay confident in myself and my work, finding the time to do what I love and makes me fulfilled, knowing my value and value of my work, and putting myself out there every single day, a lot of the time with nothing in return… it can be extremely taxing. I am constantly churning out content. I’m constantly putting intense amounts of energy into making that content my own, while also something inspiring that people will enjoy. And a lot of the time I have to please clients and jump through tons of hoops. And then there’s the whole stress of the Instagram game in general, and trying to constantly reach my audience, like Hercules swimming through the sea of souls to reach his Margaret. It feels pretty much equally exhausting, and probably will have the same aging effect on me!

I won’t lie, I have meltdowns. I worry abundantly. I brainstorm 24/7. I research and learn with my husband as much as possible. I try to nurture my inspiration in the free moments of the day, often late at night. I chase down whatever inspires me and I use that as fuel to keep me going. When I’m so busy doing all the things, I lose a bit of myself. Or maybe a lot. Each season provides something so different for me, I’m literally always on my toes, with very little time to decompress from the new or stressful experiences. Which is where I’ve been finding my health suffering because of it.

So, without going into too much personal stuff, I just wanted to share with you how, after spending today doing some research online and some soul searching, I’m feeling a renewed inspiration to… well, basically, to “treat myself”. Not to make it commercial like social media has, but to literally tend to myself. I’m not a super machine that can run 24/7 at 100%, none of us are. And when you never stop, I’ve come to realize that you can’t really heal properly from the things that have torn a little bit of you here and there. Sometimes life doesn’t seem to let you stop… I just gotta take another gig to pay the bills. I just have to please this client. I just have to put sleep on the back burner to get this edit done. I just have to not have a life for this week, and this next week, and now months have gone by… all so I can make shit happen so my world doesn’t collapse in around me.

Well…. drama aside… I finally took the time to find out what it is exactly I NEED. And, no surprise, it has a lot to do with mental healing that will then become physical healing. When your life in constantly spinning out of balance, it will begin to affect you more and more. And you have to deal with it before it gets so bad that you stop one day and ask how you got so messed up. I’m stopping myself now, and asking what I need to do to put myself back in balance. I’m excited to explore these new avenues of healthy lifestyle choices and share them with you!

On a less serious note, here are some summer things that I’ve been inspired by, including the scent Josh and I both wear, and the natural nail polish that comes in super pretty bottles.

A quick roundup of my latest favorite beauty and skincare products for the self love part of my daily routine-

I’m obsessed with the Hello Aglow Clarifying Hydrating Dew and spray it on after showers or washing my face, and before bed or in the mornings. I’ve been trying out the Babe Lash products and been using the Fiber Mascara every day I do my makeup. I’ve been applying the Lash Serum nightly and sometimes in the mornings too, and will let you know how it goes! My (and Josh’s) favorite face mask of the moment is the coconut mask from Chinta Island. It literally feels like it’s sucking crap out of your pores and shrinking them to leave behind nice smooth skin. I’ve been trying to revive my poor damaged hair by putting pure argan oil on it and braiding it before bed every night. My absolute favorite has been from Aradé. After doing this consistently, it doesn’t “rain broken strands of hair” every time I brush my hair! And it’s noticeably softer and silkier. I’ll be doing this nighttime ritual until it’s healthily grown back out past the bleached lengths, and probably even after that! And lastly, I’ve re-connected with a product because it is super fresh and reminds me of summer- my summer mint facial cream from Lala Earth. Of course, also all natural and in an adorable little jar that suits my latest obsession with all things gold. You’ve probably seen my beauty tray on my Instagram…

None of this sponsored, just real and honest thoughts on the products I repeatedly use or are trying out for the first time!

So everyone knows flying multiple hours on a plane, loosing sleep, landing in a foreign country, and harsh weather can make your skin do all sorts of weird things. I expected the worst for Paris fashion week, so I cam prepared. And I was seriously surprised at how great my skin stayed throughout the whole week! My secret? Hello Aglow.

Building up to Fashion Week and before my flight, I made sure to pamper my skin and keep it clean so no built-up dirt of skin cells would cause blemishes to show up later. I also took skin vitamins.

Once landing in Paris, I felt like crap. I hadn’t slept a wink throughout the 11 hour flight, and I had a horrible kink in my neck. First thing I did when arriving at our Air BnB was clean my face and mist with Hello Aglow’s Clarifying Hydrating Dew, which is so important to get all that airplane junk off your skin. (I usually keep face wipes with me for the flight for when I feel extra bleh.) This amazing “dew” is rose petal and cucumber infused anti-bacterial face mist for soothing hydration. Um, yes and yes. Everything that’s needed after a long flight and hours spent in 2 different airports.

Second, I cleansed with the Hello Aglow Radiant Cleansing Nectar with a cotton pad. It’s naturally rich in nutrients your skin will love, and gently exfoliates, refines, and detoxes pores. A must have for keeping my skin balanced in a new environment.

Third, I like to follow up with a dab of the Hello Aglow Flawless Nourishment Cream, fortified with pomegranate, pumpkin seed, and rose hip oil for lavish skin rejuvenation. This stuff is heavenly, and I use a small amount before bed and again in the morning. Rosehip is especially amazing for its anti-agains properties.

I kept a strict regimen of cleansing n the morning  and at night, and I found that my skin behaved better than ever! Even after running around in the cold, wind, and rain for a week straight. My skin survived and looks flawless. While I, on the other hand, have almost died of a cold…. I can officially say that this stuff seriously does its job, and it’s one of the prettiest skincare sets I’ve owned. Bonus!

Hello babes! I’m popping by from my hiatus to share with you something I’ve currently come to love! And that thing is Skinfix!

I know I’ve been MIA after NYE. But I haven’t been taking a vacation. Instead, I’ve been working every day and late nights on some exciting new projects, one of which is about to launch any day now! That being said, my skin is taking a major beating with all the lack of sleep. It’s been pretty much non-stop since NYE night, so when Skinfix reached out to me, I was very interested in their Brightening Eye Cream. I was also excited when they surprised me with their Moisture Boost Serum and Lip Repair Balm.

Here’s what I have to say about these products…!

First 3 days trying Moisture Boost Serum and Brightening Eye Cream… I was in love! I’m not kidding you when I say the skin on my face became soft as a baby’s bottom. I noticed a shrink in my pore size, which gave a much smoother feel and appearance to my face. The eye cream did as it promised, and added a bit of life back to my dark under eye shadows. It sort of filled them out and brightened them. I did notice some skin sensitivity under my eyes when using both morning and night- all you need is the tiniest little dab of cream, and you must rub it in very gently, as this area of your face is delicate skin. My advice would be to apply only the tiniest amount when you have dark circles, first thing in the morning. And give it a little time before applying makeup! The Moisture Boost Serum played nicely with my skin, and smells like fresh cucumbers. But I also noticed some skin sensitivity when applying it, and then applying any other product with fragrance after. So, a big plus for the ultra smooth skin, but I’d definitely avoid using multiple products with fragrance added on your face. Or space them out through the day.

As for the Lip Repair Balm, it’s totally on the top of my list for dry lip solutions. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I can never find a chapstick or balm that doesn’t actually dry out my lips more. This Balm didn’t give me that problem, so I vote yes and call it a keeper.

Altogether, Skinfix products have treated me much nicer than a lot of other products have, so I definitely recommend! Just keep in mind that your skin is a sponge, so be aware of what products you layer up on! If you have weird skin symptoms, it may be just from strong product combinations. When that happens, stop using everything and introduce only one product at a time to see how your skin handles it. This Moisture Boots Serum is a good one to start with!
