I moved to LA last year and these are the restaurants I keep going back to in West Los Angeles!

Finally crossed Japan off my bucket list in September! We moved around a lot (Tokyo, Hakone, Kyoto, Osaka) so staying organized was critical. I packed light and strategically. Here’s my list of must-have items, from clothing to travel organization.

After a recent skin cancer diagnosis, I did a ton of research on how best to protect my skin moving forward. Aside from wearing sunscreen daily, I learned about the importance of sun-protective clothing. Sun-protective clothing is made with fabric that has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating, which measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that a fabric blocks from reaching the skin. A higher UPF number indicates better protection, with UPF 50+ offering excellent protection. As someone who doesn’t love reapplying sunscreen every time I need to go outside, I loved this concept! I scoured the internet for the best uv-protective clothing for daily wear, and let me tell you, it’s slim pickings! Most sun-protective clothing is designed specifically for sports or hiking and is not my style. After hours of searching and purchasing, I wanted to share my favorite items to help others protect their skin in style.

My passion is home decor and I am often complimented on how I decorate my home. Besides a few investment pieces, I usually don't spend very much on decor. Instead, I look for reasonably priced pieces that use natural materials or have high-quality finishes and a nice size/weight to them. Here are some of my favorite pieces availalbe right now!
