I first learned about EverlyWell when I saw them on Shark Tank (Schyler’s favorite show!). I loved the idea of affordable, at-home testing that would allow me to skip the doctor’s visits and get quick results. I recently reached out to EverlyWell to try their Food Sensitivity Test, which tests for the body’s response to 96 foods!
I don’t know about you, but I am a total summer person! There is something so nostalgic about warm summer nights, the smell of sunscreen, and the sun on your skin. I think it just reminds me of my childhood. I would count down the days till summer break every school year! That’s why I always try and enjoy every last drop of summer by checking off my #SummerBucketList. To stay in that summer state of mind as we transition to Fall, my friends and I decided to take a last minute road trip to the beach! We decided to visit Manzanita on the Oregon Coast because none of us had ever been there before. It was picture perfect!
Slowly but surely my apartment is coming together the way that I want it to! The most recent update has been in my bedroom. I don’t know about you guys, but my bedroom is always the last room to get decorated! I guess it makes sense because guests that are visiting aren’t going to be hanging out in your room right?! Bedrooms should be a happy place to escape to, which means that they should be as carefully designed as every other room in the house! My bed was in need of a fun throw blanket and pillows which I found from Mae Woven. Now my bedroom feels so much cozier and put together!
Ever since I heard about the benefits of taking collagen, I’ve been wanting to add it to my regimen. So I was really excited when NeoCell reached out to me to try out their collagen products! NeoCell is a natural product company based in California, that carries natural supplements for skin care, health, and wellness. I’m 25 years old and over the years, I’ve been experiencing more achiness and cracking in my joints. With the help of these two products, I’ve noticed a huge improvement in my joints!
For my birthday this year, we decided to go out for dinner at The Solo Club. I’ve always admired this trendy, Portland cocktail bar from outside so I’m really glad we were able to finally eat there! My sister lives with me now as most of you probably know and my brother just moved to the area so they were able to join Schyler and I for dinner. I haven’t gotten to celebrate a birthday with both of my siblings there in probably over 8 years, so it was definitely nice to have them there this year!
Rocio and I decided to switch to a vegetarian diet about a month ago and Schyler has been on board as well! I was a vegetarian for over 3 years but due to some diet issues, I had to add meat back into my diet. We were inspired by our friend Jensyn to try cutting meat out again and it has actually been surprisingly easy! When I was a vegetarian, I loved trying vegan food and making vegan recipes out of a cookbook that Schyler got for me. I’m always amazed by how delicious vegan dishes can be! I love how creative vegans are with spices as well as meat and dairy substitutes.
Now that I am a full time blogger/content creator working from home, I have trouble stepping away from work to focus on dinner. (Trust me I’m working on it!) I’ve always believed in eating healthy; home cooked meals. It’s easy to decide to go out for dinner or eat fast food when your busy, but the truth is that it’s not very good for you. I think it’s so important to know exactly what’s in the food that your eating. That’s why I’m thrilled that I’ve found Village Harvest!
Mother’s Day is coming up real soon guys! This year I’m on top of it with the gift ideas. I hate scrambling at the last minute to find a present but let’s be honest, life gets crazy and sometimes we drop the ball. That’s why I thought I would come up with a Mother’s Day Gift Guide to help you guys out! There is definitely a present here for every type of mom and price range. The best part is that all of these presents are from Amazon and most of them are eligible for Prime which means they’ll arrive at your house in only 2 days! It’s a total life saver sometimes. Now let’s go shopping for mom! 😉
I have been wanting to get my eyelashes lifted for so long now and I finally got them done at Lash & Beauty Lab in downtown Portland. Just a little back story on my eyelashes; I do have long lashes however they do not hold a curl. When I use a mechanical curler, my eyelashes will fall out of the curl in about an hour. Mascara works a bit better but I’ve never been able to find the perfect one for my lashes. I first heard about lash lifts from a Youtuber that I follow and I thought it would be the perfect solution for me! I thought I would put together this blog post for those of you who who may be interested in getting a lash lift.
