While I was in Los Angeles visiting my sister, I was able to get my lip filler touched up at Vivant Aesthetics on Melrose Ave. This medical spa is absolutely gorgeous and the staff there was so friendly and knowledgeable. They really made my experience so great! Vivant Aesthetics specializes in facial aesthetics and esthetician services. In this blog post, I will be giving you guys a little tour of the spa, sharing before and after photos, and my experience getting lip filler there!
I had such a fun time visiting my sister in LA this past March! This was my second time visiting Los Angeles and it was mainly to be able to spend time with my sister who has lived there for the past 3 years. I definitely did a lot more “touristy” type things on my first visit so if you want to check out that blog post as well for my ideas you totally can! We squeezed in a trip to Malibu and Ojai as well which I will be sharing full blog posts on soon, but we were still able to do quite a few LA things which I wanted to share with you guys in this post!
If you are looking for a unique hotel experience in Los Angeles then look no further! The beautiful Hotel June has such a chic aesthetic, an amazing swim club & restaurant, coffee shop, valet car service, and it’s located near the LAX airport. My sister Rocio and I stayed there for a night while I was visiting her this past spring and we absolutely loved it! I’m obsessed with the design aesthetic and I have to say, as a former interior designer, this boutique hotel hands down has my favorite interiors of all the hotels I’ve stayed at. Totally my style!
Sharing another blog post guide of the boutiques I visited during my trip to Los Angeles back in March to visit my sister who lives there! I was able to visit several boutiques in Silver Lake and Venice Beach while we were exploring in those neighborhoods and even a cute vintage shop on Melrose Ave. Each of these boutiques had such amazing aesthetics that I absolutely loved. I hope this blog post is helpful for not only tourists visiting the city but LA residents as well!
I’m finally getting around to sharing the first installment in the Los Angeles travel guides I plan to share from my March trip visiting my sister! We were able to visit several beautiful coffee shops in the city that I thought I would round up for fellow coffee lovers. I love checking out pretty coffee shops during my travel and Los Angeles definitely had a plethora of them. I hope you guys enjoy this post and find it helpful whether you live in LA or plan on visiting.
During my trip to Los Angeles to visit my sister, Rocio and I took a road trip to Ojai and on our way back to LA, we stopped in Malibu for the day to explore! Malibu was absolutely amazing with it’s stunning views and beautiful beaches. I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for some sexy swimsuit photos! My sister took these photos for me on the beach below Point Dume and I love how they turned out.
Mother’s Day is just around the corner and I can’t believe how quickly this year is going by! May is always a busy month with Memorial Day weekend, Mother’s Day and more plus it’s Schyler’s birthday month. I wanted to get this blog post up earlier but I had my nephew Brio’s baptism come up in Salem, OR so I am just now getting around to rounding up my gift ideas today! I wanted to share some chic, neutral, and cozy gift ideas that any mom at any age would love. I’ve included items at all different price points so there is something for everyone!
I’m so excited to finally be sharing this beautiful bridal photo shoot that Schyler and I worked so hard on! This is the exciting photo shoot that I had been hinting at over the past few months on socials and finally got the chance to edit. We were battling with the wind at our photo location the day of the shoot (which kept knocking over our baskets lol) but I am so happy with how these photos turned out. I know that Schyler and I will cherish these photos forever and I love that we will be able to show them to our kids one day with pride!
A few weeks ago, I visited Allure Salon in Kennewick, WA (one of the three cities that makes up the Tri-Cities area where we are from, if you are not familiar) for a much needed hair makeover! It had been about 9 months since my last visit to the hair salon back in Pittsburgh where I had my hair dyed a very dark brown (before that it was dyed black). My natural hair is lighter so the roots were definitely showing through quite a bit and there was a weird purple/red tint to my hair that I didn’t love and wanted to have color corrected.
For those of you that are new here, my fiance and I recently moved back to our hometown of Kennewick, WA after moving around the country for over 7 years! Kennewick is one of the 3 towns that make up the Tri-Cities metro in Eastern Washington. So much has changed while we’ve been gone, in a good way! When we moved, there weren’t a lot of shops are restaurants that had the kind of aesthetic that I love sharing with you guys on here and on my social media channels. But over the past few years so many cute spots have opened up which I was thrilled to discover! I’ve loved getting to know the local shop owners and scouting spots with my fiance Schyler. I wanted to share a fun guide to (historic) downtown Kennewick, WA for those of you that may be moving to the area or maybe those that live in the area and want to check out some cute spots! I’ll be adding to this post as I visit more shops and hopefully sharing guides for other areas in the Tri-Cities soon too so be sure to check back.
