thank you wayfair for partnering with me on this post & giveaway! i’ve said this before, but our apartment is a constant work in progress. i’m always looking to tweak, improve and re-energize the space with just the right additions, whether it’s updated pillows for the chaise or couch, swapping out photos in frames or finding a perfect new plant. there’s one space that often doesn’t get as many fancy tweaks and seasonal updates compared to the rest of the apartment: our bathroom. if you’ve been to our apartment, you understand why the bathroom isn’t a big focus in terms of decorating or updating because literally […]

Join me for Taste of the Nation in SF!
I’m so excited to be partnering with No Kid Hungry for their upcoming Taste of the Nation event in San Francisco THIS THURSDAY! I attended the dinner last year with Aimee and had SO much fun sampling food and drinks from amazing spots in the Bay Area, plus gathering around people who are donating their time, money and resources, striving to end childhood hunger. Did you know that 23% of children in California live in poverty? And 37% of demand for food assistance in San Francisco is unmet. San Francisco is one of the richest cities in terms of cuisine and chef talent and all around amazing places […]
Healthy Skin Tips
The importance of skincare is something I’ve really been thinking about lately and I’ve been trying to make better, more conscious decisions around what products I use on my skin. My typical, daily beauty routine includes washing my face and putting on moisturizer and sunscreen before makeup. At night, I *always* take my makeup off and wash again, typically wearing some sort of sleep mask. I recently discovered Kleenex’s new facial cleansing products and have been surprisingly impressed with how amazing everything is! I had been under the impression that Kleenex simply offered regular tissues, but I’m loving their grand entrance into the facial skincare space. I’ve been using their eye […]
Thanksgiving, Cooking Together & Giveaway!

I’ll be sharing more Thankgiving-related blog posts soon, but today, I wanted to share with you a favorite recipe of mine and why cooking with people I love is so important {plus a fun giveaway below!} I grew up in a food family. My mom literally says that my grandma’s love language is cooking. I love visiting home and making meals with my family, whether it’s cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning or breakfast for […]
working out and avant-barre class giveaway!
I’ve never (ever) described myself as an athletic girl, but I do think I’m pretty active. I’ve always felt kind of uncomfortable in gyms and workout classes because I feel like I stick out like a sore thumb, not doing something right, etc. Lately though, I’ve been inspired and finally getting into my own grove with the whole work out thing though! I’ve been going to Mighty Pilates for over a year and that was the first place where I truly felt excited about working out, challenged and I enjoyed doing the classes. Very recently, I tried a class at a new studio in SF […]
