Let’s Talk: Juice Beauty

Hi beauty lovers! Today I want to talk about a brand that I've been trying out recently, Juice Beauty. This brand caught my attention because it's all natural, organic, vegan, and cruelty-free! I've received a few of their products in Petit Vour boxes and stocked up on some others at Bloomingdale's. I wanted to give a totally honest review of the products I've tried to let you know which ones I'm loving and which ones I'd pass on. Have you tried any Juice Beauty products? If so I'd love to hear your thoughts, so feel free to leave a comment at the end of this post!

10 Fun Date Ideas That Aren’t Dinner & a Movie

I found this Rebecca Taylor jumpsuit (similar, more affordable options here, here, and here) and instantly fell in love with the black and white floral pattern and ruffle details. When I put it on I immediately thought it would be a great date night look; I can totally picture it being worn for a nice dinner out or drinks at the latest hot spot. I paired the jumpsuit with these sandals from Target that can basically be worn with anything, and this pink velvet clutch by Street Level (can also be worn as a crossbody and also available in black). I love velvet and I love pink so I figured I couldn't go wrong with this clutch, plus it adds some color to my neutral outfit. If you want to ... read more

Summer Watermelon Print

When you think of summer fruit, what is the first thing that comes to your mind? I automatically think of sweet, juicy watermelon that's oh so refreshing on a hot summer day. No backyard barbecue or trip to the beach would be complete without it. In my opinion, the only thing that's almost as good as eating watermelon is wearing it, like on this linen button up by Rails. How cute is the print?! I love the contrast of the white shirt with the bright pink watermelon and the mixture of big watermelon slices and small ones. Along with the print, the cool linen makes it the perfect shirt for summer. It's also available in a tee version here and a black long sleeve version here (not as summery but ... read more

June Petit Vour Box

Hello! It's been awhile since I've done a beauty post, so I thought I would do a review of my last Petit Vour box. Petit Vour is a monthly subscription box containing totally natural, vegan, and cruelty-free beauty and skincare products. It's such a fun surprise to open up the box each month and see what products I get to try. Each box comes with 4 items, usually at least one of them being a full size product, so at $15 it's a great value! Read my April review here if you're interested. Now let's get to the products I received in June! Modern Minerals Lip Creme Tint I received this lip tint in "playful" which is a fuchsia color. When I first took it out of the box I was a ... read more

Perfect Summer Dress

Happy Friday again! How was your 4th of July? I went back to my hometown of Fresno over the weekend for some family time, swimming, and lots of yummy barbecued vegan food. I was back in Long Beach for the fourth and enjoyed some quiet time at home. I watched The Fundamentals of Caring on Netflix which was a heartwarming little movie if you're looking for something to watch. (I also may or may not have watched Fifty Shades Darker...) Later I walked to the beach to watch the Queen Mary fireworks show. I definitely was not ready to go back to work on Wednesday but at least it was a short week. I'm hoping I can get back to posting more consistently since the rest of my summer should be pretty ... read more
