Summer Favorites

Even though LA really only has two seasons, summer and fall, summer by far is my favorite time of the year. It’s a time when my garden is in full bloom, the Jasmine are most fragrant, kids are out of school and the ocean is the perfect temperature to jump in. Below are some of my favorite things this summer season and why I can’t live without them!

My Garden:

My garden is my favorite spot of my home not just during the summer months, but throughout the seasons!

Unplug:

Summer, to me, is the best time to re-connect with yourself, especially after a long and rainy winter (winter’s in LA can be cold and dark, to be honest). I usually want to bring more clarity to my mind after winter and there is no better way to unwind the mind than by reading a good book! My favorite right now is Unplug by Suze Yalof Schwartz!

Chanel Le Lift Firming Under Eye Mask:

I have been taking my self-care regime super seriously since the beginning of the year! I have been trying out so many different products, but my favorite has got to the be the LE LIFT Firming Eye Revitalize from Chanel! Not only does it work wonders for my under eyes, but I feel so luxurious wearing it!

Tarot Cards

Every year, I make it a point to get my cards read to see what the future holds for me. It is equal parts exhilarating and and eye opening to see what is to come in the next couple of months, weeks and even days!

Lemon Water:

Something I swear by throughout the year is big jar filled with lemon water. This citrus-infused water has so many healthy benefits to it and it tastes delicious! Before I start my day, I make my lemon water in my favorite drinking glass and drink the whole thing before I eat my breakfast. It keeps my hydrated and satisfied throughout the day!

Summer Friday Jet Lag Mask:

Another one of my favorite skincare products! The summer season is really starting to heat up and nothing quenches my skin quite like the Summer Friday Jet Lag Mask. It has key ingredients that lock in moisture and make my skin feeling radiant and fresh all day long!

When the summer months come, I do not leave the house without my trusty Nick Fouquet hat!

Hermes Jelly Sandals

I have had these sandals for so long and they are some of the comfiest items of clothing I own! They are priced at $290 (which is honestly a steal considering they’re Hermes!) so if you are in the market for a new pair of shoes, I would highly suggest these bad boys!

Initial Bag

When I was vacationing in San Sebastian a few summers ago, I came across this vendor who did customized embroidery. Their work was spectacular, so of course I had to get a personalized tote bag! This bag is extra special to me because it is personalized to my liking and from a trip I will never forget!
