Post image for 4 Ways To Exfoliate For Smooth, Summer Skin

Summer is all about baring that sun-kissed skin. With cutoffs, mini-skirts, and laid-back days of going makeup-free on the beach, I always want to give my skin some extra attention in the summer – and for me, that starts with exfoliation. Read more »

I love using home remedies for my hair, it's super curly and frizzy. I also tend to splurge on good quality products like pro naturals moroccan argan oil hair mask, at least I know they work :)

It’s hard to believe that the retreat is almost over…it feels like just yesterday that I arrived at Sagrada. The last day starts with another hike – this one more invigorating than the previous morning. Read more »

Oh gosh I love this place! How the heck did you guys hear about it??
Bonnie -May 18, 2013, 1:13PM
Dear Katie, if you had been caught picking a "wild" golden poppy you would have been heavily fined, like to the tune of $500 soooooo please do NOT encourage your readers to go to California to pick the flora and fauna. Being a 4th generation Native Californian I find it very bad practice, and if I had seen you I would have probably slapped you along side your head for it.

Our morning yoga class on Saturday was followed by one of the most amazing lunches I’ve ever had. It was a salad bar with everything I’d want to have in a salad – quinoa, fresh tomatoes, broccoli, homemade pickled beets and brie cheese with an incredible kumquat compote made by Eva. Read more »

It saddens me that nothing like this is in England - especially in and around London. The city drains me, I feel my creativity sort of slip through my fingers, being pulled by the hum and drum of the metropolis when I don't do yoga and walk and escape it every now and then. I love Free People and everything the brand stands for. I hope some day to stay in America, maybe even write and work and explore for such a beautiful company. Oh, sweet dreams. Beautiful retreat, it's now on my bucket list. x

It's such a nice way to start my Monday morning while I sip on hot tea. I'm already looking forward to reading part 2 :)

This made my hair feel amazing! I ombre my hair with bleach so my hair is very dry at the ends. I tried putting this on my ends, left it for an hour, and I couldn't believe how soft and shiny my hair got. Thank you so very much!

Here's a great blog post from a sports nutritionist blog on the benefits for athletes of regularly including organic extra-virgin coconut oil in their diets. It's a great blog, not just for athletes necessarily either, but also for those who want to embrace healthy eating in general: http://www.apexnutritionllc.com/fuelrightblog/2011/05/09/not-another-case-of-the-mondays-organic-coconut-oil-for-energy/
