Worth it
I did something drastic. Something that doesn’t make sense. Something foolish. Something that I needed to do a long time ago. I paid for Sakara Life’s Summer Program. It was stupid expensive, but also perhaps exactly what I needed. It was a way of affirming a truth: I am worth the sacrifice. I was tired…

Here’s what to expect if you do the Sakara Level II Detox: Logistics
Before I tried Sakara, I was scraping the internet for information on what to expect. People talked about the food, but I wanted to know the logistics. (Don’t worry I’ll give more details on the experience in a later post.) Now that I’ve tried the Level II Detox, I will happily let you know what…

Let your food be your skincare
What did you eat for breakfast yesterday? What about lunch, or dinner, or your snacks? What did you drink? Chances are that you don’t remember. Many people don’t, but I would guess you have a general idea of what types of food you eat on a regular basis. What if I told you that what…

Is your moisturizer really the problem?
I had this journey of trying to find the perfect moisturizer. Everything was a disappointment. But when even the expensive moisturizer that I once raved about failed me, I had to start looking elsewhere. I knew the answer wasn’t what I was putting on my skin. It was all about what was coming from within.…

This should be your summer fashion staple
It is hot outside, and the Earth is only getting hotter. And yet, there you are, attempting to look professional in your wool suit, tie, and long sleeves. It is time to let that go. Set your sweat ducts free and move towards more breathable fabrics. Can I suggest linen? I am personally an outsized…

As I laid on the spa table, I started to tell the aesthetician about my skin. “I have dry skin.” She brought over light and magnifying class and started examining my skin. “I don’t think you have dry skin.” I was assuring her it might have looked that way because I was using some stellar…

Before you reach for that essence this summer
I am all about skin care all year round, but my routine needs to change with the seasons. I was getting ready to reach for a new essence to address some texture, and then I remembered: It’s summertime. I don’t mean to say that you can’t use essences during the summer, but I would personally…

Why after month of luxury skincare my skin was worse
31 days of luxury products only on my face. For the entire month of January, I exclusively used luxury, expensive skincare, and yet there I was on February 1 with imperfect skin. My skin felt tight and dry. I could see the acne popping up. My undereye darkness was there. And don’t even get me…

Avoid the sunburn this summer
It is the unofficial start to summer in the United States this weekend. People will be outside. Pool parties galore. Barbecues. Long hot days in the sun playing pickleball, tennis, and everything we wouldn’t let ourselves play the colder months of the year. And a whole lot of people getting sunburned. Don’t let that be…

Why it may be worth it to stay at a luxury hotel
For some people, a luxury hotel is just not worth it. They look at the cost and immediately start looking elsewhere, or after they rant about the ridiculousness of it all. For others though, they see luxury and see the perfect spot for a future vacation. Perhaps that’s you. Or maybe it could be. Here’s…
