Kin Toh Azulik in Tulum – Red Polka Dot Dress

Happy 4th of July!

Today I wanted to keep in short and sweet with this red polka dot dress for $40 I wore on our trip to Tulum. Josh and I went to have drinks at Kin Toh Azulik which was the coolest tree house restaurant overlooking the beach and jungles of Tulum. The architecture was marvelous and the scenic views so unique. Even the bathrooms were beautiful. It was so eco friendly, with limited electricity, and no central air conditioning. They had a live DJ and a hookah bar. Kin Toh was definitely a place to see in Tulum.  Check out more pictures of this restaurant and my outfit below!

June Favorites + 4th of July Sales

Hey guys,

Happy Friday! So I’m going to keep it real with ya’ll, and try to keep it as transparent as possible. This past week after getting back from our trip I’ve been stressing myself out with trying to finish last-minute collaborations, while still providing quality content to you guys. Not to mention trying to get back in the swing of things with working out and being a mom. Well lets just say something had to give. This week was nothing but too many late nights, bad eating habits, and Netflix as my babysitter while I tried to get work done. It wasn’t the highlight reel you see on Instagram. So today I am keeping it real with this unedited video of my June Favorites. Because little do you know how many times I have to cut and edit out all the “likes” and “Umms” when I talk. If there is one thing I am working on, it is speaking more fluently on camera, and it has been a slow progress. This video will be a constant reminder to me that I am a work in progress, and that I am not perfect. So bear with me as I share my fashion, beauty, fitness, and lifestyle favorites with you in this unedited, unscripted twenty-minute June Favorites video. Plus don’t forget to check out my favorite 4th of July sales below!

Kendra Scott Fundraiser for Santa Fe – A Little Goes a Long Way

Happy Monday everyone! Hope ya’ll had a great weekend! Today I just wanted to recap my Kendra Scott event I had three weeks ago to help raise money for Santa Fe school shooting victims. I have so many people to thank, including everyone who came out, to all the amazing bloggers who partnered up for this event, and to all the brands who donated their time and service to make this a fun event for everyone. I also wanted to share a little Monday motivational thought on how a little act of service can make a difference in this world. And though we may not see the eventual outcome, I consider our actions like a drop in an ocean that creates a continuing and ever-growing ripple. We are that drop in the ocean that is part of a huge wave that will make a difference in this world. Read more of my recap and thoughts below.
