In todays post I am going to be focusing on a specific neighborhood in Los Angeles. As a music lover, I have been fascinated by the history of Laurel Canyon and today I finally made the trip out there to see the sights for the first time. There is so much to say about Laurel …
This post has been 6 months in the making but I’m finally getting around to talking about a little staycation I had with my husband and in laws back in January. I love writing travel posts but they tend to be a little time consuming so they unfortunately get pushed to the back burner. I …
Today on the blog I’m going to talk about another passion of mine, creating a clean and healthy home. I posted a little about this when I first started the blog, but since then I’ve ended up talking more about beauty and travel and not as much about my personal experiences with green living. I …
Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3 in 1 Cleanser This product was average at best to me. I usually like thicker cleansers but this one felt really thick and hard to remove. I also really didn’t like the smell. My skin felt smooth and clean after using it, but there are too many other cleansers out …

This month I opted to receive the clean box with all green, healthy brands. Derma E Overnight Peel with AHAs I didn’t have high hopes for this product but I was extremely surprised at how effective it is. There is a slight stinging feeling when you first apply it, but it doesn’t last long. The …
