As you might have seen, I spent my 10-year Olympic anniversary at the very place where all the magic happened: Beijing, China. The city was just as majestic and historic as I remembered. Since the Olympic Village wasn’t an option for accommodations this time around, we stayed at the beautiful Bulgari Hotel Beijing. The hotel […]

I can’t believe July 4th is almost here! The 4th is always so bittersweet because, on one hand, it is the kickoff to summer, but on the other hand, summer goes by so quickly once it’s over!  That being said, it’s one of my absolute favorite holidays. I love summer because staying in your bikini all […]

As you might see on social media, I travel A LOT! Since I live half my week in Cali and the other half in Boston (not literally, but kind of) I’m always on a plane, which takes a toll on my skin. I do, however, *try* to keep up with my skincare routine, no matter […]

Summer is quickly approaching…T-13 days, to be exact! Every year, right around this time, I get this urge (no doubt due to the countless headlines I scroll through every day) to “get summer ready.” It’s like, for some reason, health, wellness, and self-care suddenly become mainstream and top of everyone’s mind. And, although I try […]

This summer, I’m stocking up on all things woven.  Whether it’s shoes, hats, or bags, (do they make woven bikinis yet?), I find myself adding more and more of these items into my shopping cart.  Woven is definitely the new black. It goes with everything and instantly elevates your outfit. Although it may just be […]
