Seven Magic Mountains

I recently went to Las Vegas and got to see Seven Magic Mountains which is an amazing photoshoot location. There are a bunch of colorful rocks stalked on each other in the middle of the dessert and it is just such a cute spot! I decided I needed a colorful dress to match it. So I bought a rainbow dress from Wildflower Daydreams. See photo below.

This dress is seriously the cutest thing! I love how flowy it is along with being lined. The straps are adjustable which is super important to me. I matched with my best friend who is the owner of the boutique. Make sure to check out her boho boutique because she carries a bunch of cute clothing!

By the way I went to this spot at 8 am on a Tuesday and got some photos without anyone. This spot is usually crowded especially on weekends. Make sure to go earlier for less people and better lighting!

Period-proof Swimsuit!

About a month ago I was gifted a Ruby Love swimsuit and all I can say is that it’s truly amazing! Ruby Love is an amazing company that is known for having period-proof items from underwear to pajamas. I have only tried their swimsuits which is what I will be focusing on.

Each swimsuit had a discreet built in absorbent organic cotton liner. Can be worn with or without a tampon or menstrual cup. These swimsuits are truly amazing because you don’t have to worry about stains, leaks or odors. AND they have the cutest designs! I love my one shoulder ruffle one piece.

Each item is sustainable and made in the USA! For reference I am wearing an XS/S. I have found whenever I go on a vacation I always happen to be on my period which is why this swimsuit has been a life savor. I feel so comfortable and confident wearing this one piece!

Valentine’s Day DIY Outfit

Looking for a fun creative Valentine’s Day outfit? Look no further. This DIY cost me a total of $15.

Items needed for this DIY: conversation hearts, a glue gun, glue sticks, and old clothing (or any clothing you wouldn’t mind using). I got the conversation hearts and glue sticks from the Dollar Tree. The top and skirt were on my to donate bags so I decided to repurpose them for this outfit.

This DIY is super simple! All you need to do is separate the hearts by colors, and then super glue them to your clothing. Fair warning this DIY took me about 5 hours but it’s my favorite DIY to this day!

Airbnb Dream Home – The Funky Loft

Who’s stayed at an Airbnb before? Chances are most of you have. I have stayed at various before, but I never thought much of any of them. That is until I stayed at The Funky Loft which is located in Brooklyn, New York. It is honestly the cutest, dreamiest, most bohemian place I have ever seen! Not to mention there is a swing! I mean can it get any better? Also, the women who live there are seriously the sweetest and provide complementary breakfast. They had Lucky Charms which is hands down my favorite cereal. There is music bumping most of the afternoon which consisted of mostly oldies which is my favorite!

This amazing Airbnb is located in Brooklyn and is super close to a subway (About 5-10 minute walk). I stayed here with my friend @michellemakingmoves. We got a 7 day subway card and went to DUMBO, and walked across the Brooklyn Bridge. We also went to Times Square, and the Flatiron building by taking the subway. This is a great place to stay at when visiting New York because of how cute, convenient, and cost friendly it is. Make your Instagram New York dreams comes true by staying at The Funky Loft next time you’re in New York! @thefunkyloft

Studex Earrings Perfect for Sensitive Ears!

Guys how cute are these Studex Earrings from @studex_usa? The classic diamond studs match everything! For the longest time I have struggled with wearing earrings because they always hurt my ears by turning them really red which then led to bleeding which has stopped me from wearing earrings for years, until now since these earrings are specifically for sensitive ears. I have legit been wearing them every day since I received them because they are my absolute favorite! #NoIrritationEarrings You can get yourself some of these earring at https://www.amazon.com/studex and they are really inexpensive which is amazing! This is a sponsored post, but as always this is my honest opinion. Truly I would say these earrings are everything! I have slept with these earrings and woke up without my ears hurting or being red, it’s so nice to have finally found earrings that I can actually wear and love! Be sure to check out Studex’s Instagram because they are doing a giveaway!

Thrifted Dress & clogs

The other week I went to a thrift store called Uptown Cheapskate in Fullerton and I found this super cute dress! It is from Urban Outfitters and cost me only $12!! I love thrifted clothing because it is a form of sustainability. In a world of fast fashion it is important to really think about where you buying your clothing from. Plus, it is a lot cheaper! My hat is from Lack of Color and my clogs are Lotta from Stockholm. And these super cute flowers were given to me by my loving husband.
