The Mastery of Love

by Miguel Ruiz

Rereading “The Mastery of Love” by Miguel Ruiz. All his books are amazing and are great reminders for how to live life with more purpose and authenticity.

One Day

by David Nicholls

After having many friends recommend the Netflix adaptation of this book, I knew I had to read the book first and I was blown away by the narrative of the story. Tears have definitely flowed!

saggio

827 W 181st St. New York, NY 10033

Saggio is a family-owned Italian restaurant in my neighborhood that offers house-made pasta in a cozy, intimate environment. I’ve been coming here for years and is my go-to casual and cozy date spot with my husband or friends!

savoring summer with farmers market finds

I am continuing to take advantage of my local farmers markets since winter will be here before we know it. My go-to dinner has been homemade pasta and sauce using Jersey tomatoes and a kale salad.

cryspy rice sald: viral for good reason

I love making the viral crispy rice salad with cucumber, edamame, avocado, and herbs in a soy dressing and some baked salmon. Perfect summer meal.

purchasing

valmont
prime renewing pack

Prime Renewing Pack is always my favorite and go-to purchase and have been obsessing over it lately. The perfect pick me up for your skin when you look and feel a little tired or dry.

Westman Atelier
Baby Cheeks

I love to apply this cream blush on my bare face focusing on my cheekbones, eyelids, and bridge of my nose (basically everywhere I would naturally get sun) to bring some life and brightness back to my face as well as give that sun-kissed glow that I love to have throughout the summer!

landen’s pick

Forlle’d
Hyalogy Creamy Wash

This will be my third time re-purchasing the Forlle’d Hyalogy Creamy Wash. It is nourishing, regenerating and extremely soothing. I have breakout-prone skin and can struggle with redness and this cleanser leaves my skin feeling less inflamed and thoroughly cleansed. Cleansing the skin is one of the most important steps of your skincare routine, so finding a cleanser that works for you will make all the difference.

Obsessing

matcha lattes at home

My husband has finally joined the Matcha-Lovers Club with me and this summer has been non-stop matcha making at home. We have the whole kit and make lattes and desserts at home almost every single day.

infrared pilates

I love a good heated workout, and recently, I’ve been obsessed with infrared Pilates. Infrared light uses invisible light to heat your body’s core, not the air in the room. Combined with pilates movements, it helps relieve joint pain and stiffness, detoxify the body, and improve circulation. It’s such a good sweat!

dry brushing before showering

Great for lymphatic drainage and blow flow and keeps skin so silky soft.

let your skin rest!

Being a curly-girl, sitting in the steam room is super beneficial to my hair’s health. I like to apply P50 Capillaire to my scalp, and a hydrating mask like Oribe’s Moisture & Control Deep Conditioner before I go into the steam room and sit in there for 10-15 minutes letting the products penetrate deeply before getting into the shower and rinsing everything off (Pro-Tip: After washing I run the water to be ice-cold and run my hair under to seal/close the cuticle to prevent frizz and promote shine)

peppermint tea before bedtime

I always end my night with a cup of tea, typically peppermint tea. Peppermint tea can help soothe the stomach, relieve tension headaches and relax the muscles for a peaceful night of sleep. I have been loving the Organic Peppermint tea from TeaLeaves.

A Jersey Shore Saturday

My usual weekend morning starts with sleeping in, enjoying some iced coffee with sourdough toast, and taking the dog for a walk. Then, I head to the beach with my friends, where we go for a swim and I read my book. Afterward, I go home, shower, and head to our favorite local bar for some amazing seafood and orange crushes. It’s a true Jersey Shore Saturday.

farmer’s market

My husband and I like to take a walk to our local farmer’s market and do our fruit and veggie shopping for the week before stopping by our local supermarket to grab everything else. We like to prep our ingredients for the week’s meals on Sundays to make our weekly cooking much quicker and easier as everything is washed, chopped, seasoned, and ready to go!

from clean to serene

After doing a deep clean of my house, I smudge with sage. Burning sage is an ancient spiritual ritual that can clear airborne bacteria, banish negative energy and lift one’s spirits! I use the Incausa Wild White Sage and keep it in the Black Stoneware Holder when I am not using it.
