Why Every Beauty Girl Trusts Her Locks to Revlon Hair Tools

This post was sponsored by Revlon Hair Tools as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

Hi lovelies,

Now that fall is officially upon us, I like to change up my look for the new season. I’ve started wearing my hair with loose, wavy curls and I make sure to keep it hydrated and moisturized now that the weather is a bit more dry and windy. 

That’s why I was so excited to use Revlon Hair Tools, all of which are available at Target. The Pro Collection Laser Brilliance Shine Styler, is an innovative and new styler that leaves my locks with a natural shine and bounce due to its Infrared Heat Technology. The diffuser attachment works best when I want to wear my hair curly and the ceramic hair dryer causes less hair damage, which is super important to me in the cooler months. 

Step 1: Take a section of your wet hair and lightly twist 

Step 2: Place the twisted section of your wet hair and gently place it on the diffuser 

Step 3: Turn on the diffuser and let it work its magic to create voluminous curls 

Step 4: Repeat as needed until hair is dry and curled as desired. 

Final soft waves and curls thanks to the diffuser:

Another way that I make sure that my hair stays healthy is by using the Revlon Rose Gold Professional Brush Line; my go-to tool is the Rose Gold Porcupine Round Brush. Its IONIC TECHNOLOGY® Infused bristles dries my hair at a faster pace which causes less frizz and keeps moisture in for smoother hair. I love being able to save time doing my hair because I then have more to prep for the rest of my day or get ready if I’m going out at night.   

When I want to add a bit of low-key bling to my hairstyle, I opt to wear the easy-to-use Revlon Double Grip Clips that comes in a pack of six. The comb teeth and grip dots keeps my hair out of my face, so I wear them when I’m doing my nighttime skincare routine as they are a great way to keep my hair in place when I’m applying my skincare products.

I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m looking forward to seeing what the One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizing Styler can do. It’s used to get sleek blowouts with just one step and its oval brush designs works best to add volumes and shine your hairstyle. It looks awesome and can also be found at Target! 

Are you getting gorgeous this fall season with Revlon Hair Tools? Do you like my finished look? 

Why Bali: Beats of Paradise Is The Must-See Documentary of The Year

Hi lovelies,

One of the most inspiring documentaries debuting this year is Bali: Beats of Paradise, directed by the incomparable Livi Zheng. The documentary is centered around educating and enlightening us around the Gamelan music genre with Indonesian composer Nyoman Wenten and the Grammy Award winning artist, Judith Hill.

Impressively, Nyoman Wenten has been one of Bali's most notable musicians and dynamic dancers for over the past 40 years.

It was interesting to learn that Gamelan, which is a traditional form of Indonesian music, had been featured in the iconic film, Avatar, the iconic Nintendo game by Mario Bros, and the legendary television series, Star Trek. The documentary explores how this musical genre based in heritage and legacy, has been making major moves crossing over into mainstream music, film, and TV.

This dynamic led to Judith Hill and Wenten collaborating on how to mix the Gamelan music with a hip-hop and modern vibe that really brought the documentary to life. The documentary is also centered around shooting and creating a collaborative music video for their song, Queen of the Hill, that was a mixture of Gamelan music and funk, with the goal of getting over a million views!

The majestic music video was filmed in Joshua Tree Desert located in Southern California and highlighted the traditional Balinese dance, enchanting costumes, Judith’s amazing singing, and the blending of Gamelan and funk musical genres.

Watching the documentary takes you on a beautiful journey on how music has the power to change and inspire us all.

Why Burke Williams Spa Is Your Personal Oasis

Hi lovelies,

I’ve recently been really busy, from shooting a 6 episode series with The Beauty Studio, heading to set with BuzzFeed to shoot another digital short, to working with some amazing brands on my social media sites, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

But, I also couldn’t have needed a break and a day to unwind, relax, refocus, and re-energize more. That’s why I took a self-care day and headed to Burke Williams Spa for a day of massages, facials, soaking in the hot tub, and sweating it out in the sauna.

I used the quiet room as a place to meditate and silence my mind. One of my favorite things about Burke Williams Spa is enjoying their fruit-infused water. I got the Pure Relaxation Massage which is a “personalized Swedish massage blends long, flowing, and circulatory strokes to restore calm to the mind and body, while increasing circulation and promoting deep relaxation.” I think next time I’ll try the Deep Tissue/Swedish Massage or one from many of their massage options.

My skin has been freaking out lately from all of the running around and due to a chemical peel that didn’t agree with my sensitive skin, my hyper-pigmentation was intensified, so I was so thankful to trust my skin to Delmi.

She gave me the 4 Layer Resurfacing Facial which is an intense 4-layer progressive peel that leaves your skin hydrated and glowing. It uses papaya enzymes combined with beneficial Alpha Hydroxy Acids to erase fine lines and minimize imperfections. After which, they use a detox masque that infuses your skin with antioxidants and my skin already on the mend. I’m looking forward to going back and getting more facials to ensure that my skin stays happy and healthy.

So the next time you need a self-care day, head over to your nearest Burke Williams Spa and find your own personal oasis.

Why Every Stylish Girl Wears Mephisto

Hi lovelies,

Who walks in L.A.? This stylish chick! Coming from NYC and now living in Los Angeles, I still love walking from shop-to-shop and cafe-to-cafe.

Luckily for me, Mephisto just celebrated 50 years of creating iconic shoes! Get the insider scoop below!

“International footwear brand Mephisto – with a rich history spanning 50 years – hosted a VIP event last night, Thursday, October 11th to celebrate its cult-classic walking shoe, Mephisto Originals and to launch its 4-day Pop-up on Melrose Avenue.

The event was held in the pop-up, adjacent to iconic destination for sneakerheads and celebrities, Sportie LA, located at 7763 Melrose Ave and the adjoining parking lot, infamous for its influencer appeal due to its iconic murals.

The event, titled “#Mephistowalks” was designed to poke fun at the age-old presumption that Angelinos don’t walk. It brought together a slew of Influencers and industry VIP’s who were treated to a special gifting suite experience, which included an interactive room whereby a unique greenscreen treadmill feature had guests producing their own mini ‘walking films’ in their new Mephisto Originals shoes for social media.

Guests were treated to a live performance by singer-songwriter, Andrew Cole (Colorblind), accompanied by Black Eyed Peas’ guitarist, producer, George Pajon, and concert violinist, KOI whilst Muralist, Gustavo Zermeno created live a Mephisto Originals branded wall piece for the brand.”

Notable guests included: Christopher Reid (Kid from Hip-Hop duo, Kid N Play), George Pajon, Michael Evans Behling, Lyriq Bent, Rhuigi, Eric Ramirez, Jasmine White, Brandon Gray and Hugh Augustine. Specialty cocktails were provided by partners, ROK Drinks.

Find the Next Big at The Consumer Discovery Show from FounderMade

Hi lovelies,

Ever wonder how to find the latest in all things lifestyle, wellness, and beauty? Then look no further than FounderMade!

The innovative event, the Consumer Discovery Show from FounderMade, took place at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California.

Here’s the scoop:

"The summit brought together 200+ top consumer brands and key industry players in the areas of beauty, wellness, and food looking to accelerate growth and exposure while introducing consumers to the latest products.

The event consisted of six different panels, fireside chats, and key notes in one marketplace while creating networking opportunities for businesses to build distribution, sales, financing, and strategic partnerships.

Among the panels, the highest attendance came from High Hopes: The Future of Cannabis where panelists Emily Dougherty (Editor in Chief, New Beauty), Michael Bumgarner (Founder + CEO, Cannuka), Clement Kwan (Co-Founder, BEBOE), Jessie Stanley (Co-Founder, CW Hemp), and Derek Thomas (Vice President of Business Development, Veritas Farms) discussed ways in which they are responding to demands for weed-based products as the legalization of marijuana becomes accepting in more states, technology and innovation amplifies, consumer curiosity grows – and how others can invest in these new markets.

Attendees got a chance to glam up with a manicure from GlamSquad, try a detoxing armpit facial and complimentary coconuts that left them feeling refreshed from Kopari Beauty, cool down with Cryo facials from CryoZone, have their own beautiful selfie printed on a cookie from Selffee, create your own tea with foraged herbs from Fruitstitute, and keep their energy levels up with B12 shots from The Hydration Room. 

Some of the exciting emerging brands included: VOLO Beauty touting the first cordless hair dryer, fuel up with Navitas Organics’ Vanilla & Green plant-based protein drinks, and Aquispromoting luxe hair towels that cuts hair drying by 50 percent.  Other notable brands included: CW Hemp, Type A, Daiya Foods, Nutrafol, Lifeway, Stacked Skincare and Rude Cosmetics.”

The 5 Shows To Watch For Up-and-Coming Stars

Hi lovelies,

One of the coolest things in entertainment is being a fan of someone early on. It’s true in sports, music, film, and even reality television. Sometimes you just see someone - say, Kelly Clarkson early in her run on American Idol, or George Clooney in ER - and you know that someone is going places. Now, part of the fun of all this is that it’s tough to predict where a future star will come from. With that said however, we have five suggestions for shows you should be watching for the next up-and-coming stars in entertainment.

1. The Voice

The Voice has become one of the more popular reality talent competitions in TV history, and has produced a fairly incredible number of skilled performers over the years. Even some of the musicians who didn’t win, such as singer-songwriter Matt McAndrew, have gone on to real careers with droves of fans behind them. The success of the performers comes down largely to the amount of talent on the coaching panels. Country music star Blake Shelton and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine are regulars along with a rotating group that has included the likes of Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Usher, and others. Additionally, the show brings on guest coaches that provide incredible insights, such as John Legend for the upcoming season. It’s no wonder there’s always up-and-coming talent on a show with so much existing star power.

2. X Factor

X Factor has crossed the Atlantic and now has multiple versions (which is true of a few of these shows, actually), but we’re talking about the UK version, in which contestants are tested by four judges who are still led by producer Simon Cowell. They go through numerous stages of competition, such that unlike The Voice things start out fairly casually, such that there’s a lot of laughter and there are some less than serious auditions in the early going. However, the competition is designed to narrow things down over time until only legitimate talent with star potential remains. And unlike in some other shows, the winner of X Factor gets an automatic £1 million recording deal with Sony Music! That pretty much guarantees “next big thing” status.

3. Saturday Night Live

Not all shows with up-and-coming talent revolve around music. To that point, Saturday Night Live remains unquestionably the best program to watch if you want to see some of the next big names in comedy. Many will agree that the show is past its heyday, and it’s true that we haven’t seen a comedy megastar the likes of Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, or Will Ferrell come out of the show in a while. However, consider some of the talent currently circulating in Hollywood and you’ll quickly get to names like Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Bill Hader. All of these people got their starts on SNL, and it seems that even when the show is in a down year or two there’s always someone on it who’s on the cusp of stardom.

4. Top Chef

The idea of watching a cooking competition for the next big star is a little different, and to be fair these contestants never really become “stars” beyond cooking. Given the massive scope of culinary reality television however, that’s not a small area in which to be a star. These days, some of the big winners on these shows go on to effectively become personalities, owning and operating their own restaurants but also appearing frequently as guests hots and judges in other seasons or even on other shows. Top Chef puts a lot of emphasis on individual ability (as opposed to team-based shows like Hell’s Kitchen) and as a result it’s produced several of these figures. There are genuine stars in the culinary world, such as Michael Voltaggio and Richard Blais, who have come out of this show.

5. The Four

The Four is brand new, so it’s hard to say it’s a proven star-producer. However, the argument is out there that it could be the best talent show ever, and it does seem well worth keeping a close eye on. What separates it, aside from an awesome panel of judges ranging from P. Diddy to Fergie, is that it incorporates hip-hop among other styles of music. It’s more of an anything-goes contest in which, truly, the best musical performer advances and has a shot to earn fame and status. We have little doubt the show will ultimately produce some big new names in the music business.

How Every Cool Girl Is Spending Labor Day Weekend With JaM

Thank you JaM Cellars for sponsoring this post. Looking for JaM Cabernet and Butter Chardonnay near you? Check out their easy-to-use Store Locator! Just pop in your zip code and the wines will be waiting!

Hi lovelies,

After one of the hottest summer's to date, this Labor Day Holiday Weekend is all about staying cool and refreshed while still having fun in the sun!

That's why I love laughing with my friends, playing poolside in my favorite bathing suit, singing along to my Summer Jams Playlist, and sipping on my favorite JaM Cabernet and JaM Butter Chardonnay wines.

When prepping for my friends to come over for a poolside Labor Day party, I love to enjoy JaM Cabernet's sweet taste of blackberries, black plums, black currant, cassis, and more. It's the perfect companion while putting together my playlist of my favorite songs that my friends and I love to dance to and sing-a-long with while hanging by my pool.

The fruity JaM Cab hits the spot while making yummy snacks for my friends to nibble on and I like to keep my JaM Butter Chardonnay chilled before we head poolside.

Don't forget to pack it in a cooler, so every glass stays cold and super refreshing while it melts in your mouth. The creamy taste of Butter is perfect for my palette after taking a dip in the pool, which is why I love to relax poolside and cool off with a refreshing glass because I can taste the stone fruit and baked-lemon notes and enjoying those flavors instantly relaxes me.

Both the Butter and JaM Cab are made using an aging process with JaM Cellars unique blend of oak so both have an intoxicating taste and aroma of vanilla. They're both also created using the distinct and traditional methods of Californian winemaking, so the grapes used are always plump, ripe, juicy, and super-flavorful, so each glass leaves your tastebuds wanting more!

Plus, the light color of JaM Butter and the red-purple color of the JaM Cab are perfect for playing Wine Tic-Tac-Toe with because it's easy to distinguish the dark x's from the light o's on the board, adding in some extra fun in the sun. 

I was selected for this opportunity as a member of CLEVER and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.

Three Ways To Live A More Thoughtful Life

Hi lovelies,

As you all know, I love sharing ways to live happier, healthier, and more joyful life, from fun ways to practice self-care to how to let your inner beauty shine by shaking up your wardrobe and beauty routines. 

For this week's Top 3, I wanted to share with you three easy and fun ways to live a more thoughtful life. From giving gifts and celebrating every day moments to seeking out new music and getting radical in your gratitude. 

Check them out below and let me know if you have additional ways to live a more thoughtful life and don't forget to share this post if you found it of value!

#1: Give the gift of Thoughtfully

One thing that I truly believe in is celebrating life and our every day triumphs. There's no need to wait for a big occasion to celebrate but being present and happy on our journey is what really matters. Giving gifts to other and learning to celebrate your self is the perfect way to live a more thoughtful life. 

That's why I'm huge fan of Thoughtfully, an innovative brand that offers an impressive array of creative and curated gift sets. One of my favorite gift sets from them is The “Champagne Boss” gift set which sells for $99.99 and is the perfect way to celebrate being a girlboss with your family or friends.

#2: Discover new talent with Elisia Savoca

Another way to live a more thoughtful life is to break outside of your box and seek out new music and up-and-coming talent. That's why I wanted to share one of my favorite new breakout indie pop stars is Elisia Savoca. She a star quickly on the rise and is a Sand Diego native that seems to be wise beyond her years. 

Elisia's been humbled compared to Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse for her hypnotic melodies and haunting voice. But you can check out the 17-year old songstress for yourself and listen to her songs below.

#3: Keep a gratitude journal

Photo credit: Hadron Epoch

Hands down, the single best way that I've been able to live a more present, thoughtful, and introspective life is by keeping a gratitude journal. One of my favorite stationery brands is Hadron Epoch. 

I write down things, people, and events that I'm grateful for, both big and small, and it automatically makes me feel lighter, happier, and inspired. It's hard to be sad or down when you reflect on all of the beautiful things in your life that you have to be grateful for and celebrate.

Pro tip: Practice radical gratitude. I now make two lists of what I'm grateful for in my life. The first list is for things that have already happened and the second list is for the things that I want to happen and see come to fruition in my life. The trick is to be grateful for them as if they have already come to pass even if they haven't yet.

#4. STAYING HEALTHY: YOUR LOOKS REFLECT WELLBEING
We all need a little help to improve our natural beauty and make our look pop. However, it’s very easy to forget that your natural appearance is strongly linked to your wellness. Learning to pay added focus to my health was one of the best things I ever did. You should rediscover it too!

Ultimately, we all have different lifestyles and situations. As such, you will need to find a routine that suits your circumstances. This handy tutorial should provide some useful advice:

Be sure not to overlook key factors that will significantly impact your health. As well as your lifestyle, you should think about the home surroundings. Thrips and other pests have the ability to cause illness, which will leave you drained. Moreover, their bites will cause major skin irritations that will undo a lot of the good work from a healthy lifestyle. Preventing this issue at all costs is key.

Improved beauty isn’t the only reward for adopting healthier habits, but it should not be ignored either. Embrace it.
