Hey lovies,

Been awhile. As usual, my favorite season of the year is back and not a minute too soon. Miami is heating up, and around this time you will probably catch me at one my favorite little nooks enjoying a refreshing fruit juice or an acai bowl to keep cool this summer. I am just about done with this season's shopping and I want to give you guys a quick peek at my first summer outfit. Who says you can't wear black for summer? This little black number is an ASOS Design tie front romper and I absolutely adore how it flatters my curves. I bought it in a size 10 and it fits like a glove. My only complaint about this gorgeous piece is the lack of pockets. Never come between a girl and her pockets, Asos. The details of my complete look are listed below, with links to the same or similar items. As for the location, grab your girls and head out to Dreamer Miami for some avocado toast and Coconut water. A cute and cozy Instagram friendly juice bar in the heart of South Beach. Check out their Instagram @Dreamer_miami, promise you’ll fall in love.

Until next time babes.

There isn't another way I could have imagined spending International women's day than with some amazing south Florida bloggers and the CEO of the phenomenal fashion brand Alice and Olivia, Stacey Bendet.  Alice and Olivia's clothing has draped over some of the leading ladies of Hollywood, including Tiffany Haddish and the former first lady herself Michelle Obama. So that was an invitation I couldn't possibly refuse. Walking in the impressive two-story architectural masterpiece we were served margarita infused popsicles, small hors-d'oeuvres, and the cocktails never stopped coming. I had the pleasure to meet some of Miami's top bloggers, like @Stephanycosmopolitan, @fashionbytamar, @Kiermellour, Haitian designer Fabrice Tardieu, the CEO of the meticulously handcrafted footwear Fabricetardieu.com, and most importantly the BOSS herself, Stacey Bendet. Her energy was so positive and welcoming, as I stood next to her for a photo, she complimented my lashes, then asked me a question I was completely unprepared for, "What's the best place to get a facial around here?". Overall, definitely a night to remember and I'm excited to finally have this very fun and colorful fashion brand in my city. Enjoy these photos from our night of festivities.

No matter how long I’ve lived in Miami, it never seems to amaze me how often I find myself in awe of all the hidden jewels around a seemingly small town. While some call Miami a hotspot, party central, I call it home. I lived here my entire adult life, and I pride myself on being my friends' designated tour guide and restaurant connaisseur when they come visit. A few years back, while working as a makeup artist on Miami Beach, I decided to take a break from work and unwind on Lincoln road. Being quite the epicure that I am, I was craving particularly distinctive things, something new but yet familiar. As I walked the strip of Lincoln road mall, in the midst of what seemed like hundreds of restaurants, nothing looked alluring or stimulating to my taste buds. I was about to throw in the towel when I decided to check my Instagram feed, which has really been a game changer for visual creatures like myself. I decided to check the popular location tags of people on Lincoln road and that's when I saw it...The famous "Love me Fck me" sign, quite the attention grabber I'd say. Without wasting a second I clicked on the location and started heading right over to Bodega Taqueria y Tequila. When I arrived at Bodega, I was kind of shocked and a little disappointed, could the anticipation be all in vain? But the most disappointing of all was that the sign was nowhere to be found. I circled the restaurant a few times, hoping the actual place would be in the back but I was wrong. Feeling defeated and now famished, I walked over to the window and order 3 tacos, my options of beverages were water, Modelo beer, or sodas, and I was not happy about it. Seeing the frustration on my face, a gentleman who seemed to be one of the waiters asked: "Miss, would you like a drink at our bar instead?" Bar? What bar? I replied. He pointed at what looked like a creepy porta-potty door and said "In there" What lied behind the door you see, is a secret, a secret that I am willing to share as long as you promise to keep it to yourself. Behind the oddly placed porta-potty door lies one of Miami coolest and greatest party spots, a New York inspired industrial lounge with one of the most impressive bars I have ever seen. The dimly lit lounge and the 90's Hip-hop playlist transported me right to Brooklyn, New York. Just when I thought my day couldn't take a better turn, the waiter walked in with my tacos. The tacos are fairly priced, but the quality is unquantifiable, you will taste the authentic Mexican flavors in every bite. Their cocktails are crafted with pure ingredients and the tequila takes you on the beaches of Mexico. So, next time you're in Miami and looking for a good time, remember our little secret and visit Bodega. Enjoy those pictures from my last visit there.

Cleanse















This is the very first step of your routine and in this step, you need 2 products

Makeup remover
The makeup remover can be a wipe or a liquid and should only be used to remove makeup. A biphase makeup remover is recommended, as it is more gentle on the skin and the oil helps in breaking down mascara and those matte and long wear shadows.

After you remove your makeup you can use a tool like the foreo or clarisonic with your favorite face wash to cleanse your skin. Don't use something too harsh, especially if you're going to do this every day. Only use an exfoliating face wash once a week
