A few days ago, on the 20th of July, I turned 30 years old! I’ve officially entered into the next decade and big chapter of my life, and I couldn’t be more excited about what’s to come. Your 20’s are fun and all, but I feel like your 30’s is when you really start to experience the fruit of your labor and hardwork, and moreso, I can’t wait to have a family and experience motherhood. Still a couple of years until that will happen, but knowing that it’s just around the corner is so exciting for me. I also wanted to say a huge thank you for all the kind birthday wishes on my Instagram. You guys are amazing and I am so so grateful to have you all in my life ♥ To celebrate my 30th birthday, I thought it would be fun to sit down and share 30 things I’ve learned so far, lessons, experiences and things I feel to be true for my life. You can watch the video below, and I’ve also summarized the points here in this post in case you prefer to read (or get a recap at the end of the video). Hope you enjoy!   WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Here’s a quick summarized version of what we discussed in the video: 1. It’s ok to be different. Embrace your uniqueness, and in fact if you feel “different” and/or like you don’t fit in, that’s actually a good thing because you know your […]

Summer is right around the corner and I could not be more excited about it! I am so ready for the warm bright days ahead and to celebrate I want to share a few of the things I am looking forward to this new season. Hope you enjoy and I’d love to hear what you’re looking forward to this summer! 1. WEARING DRESSES AGAIN Warm weather and me go very much hand in hand 🙂 I love wearing lightweight summer dresses and sandals pretty much all season! So comfy, easy and CUTE. I will share some fashion videos and hauls with you soon featuring some really pretty pieces. 2. I AM TURNING 30! Can you believe it? So surreal to think I’ll be 30 years old next month! I’m so grateful for everything life has blessed me with till this point and I am SO looking forward to this next chapter of my life. I honestly feel the BEST I have ever felt and I truly believe our body, life, career and everything in between is what WE MAKE it. So cool to think I spent almost all of my 20’s sharing my life with you guys and having you be part of it means so much to me. 3. SUMMER TRIPS  Something I love about living in Europe is how easy and convenient it is to travel to different countries in the summer. Summer in pretty much all of Europe is so beautiful! We have a couple of trips […]

Happy Sunday my loves! Today I have a new Girl Chat Q&A video for you! We are covering lots of topics you guys sent in questions about, such as favorite bras, hair removal and skin tips and more. You can watch the video here! As I have been enjoying doing with my recent Q&A’s, I will be answering a few more of your questions below in this post. Hope you enjoy and let me know what other topics we can discuss in the next Q&A! Photo from my trip to the Amalfi Coast (Click here to watch the vlog!)   Do you ever compare yourself with other girls? Although I touched briefly on this in the video, I did see a lot of questions about this topic of comparison on general, so let’s go into it a bit more here! I think it’s so normal, especially in today’s world, to compare ourselves to other people. As mentioned in the video, we now see and have access to thousands of people just by opening an app on our phone. I do think however that seeing what else is out there can actually be a positive thing sometimes, and of course, at times, not so good! Trust me I’ve been deep in Instagram thinking of things I’d rather change about myself, I think we have all been there haha, but I snap myself out of it as soon as I gain a bit of mindfulness on what I’m doing – and then […]

Hello my loves! A few days ago I asked you over on my Instagram to send me any questions you had relating to beauty, lifestyle, health and anything in between. I received over 600 questions – thank you guys so much! I filmed a video answering a few of them, which you can watch here, and as there were so many interesting ones, I am answering a few extra questions below in this post! How do you whiten your teeth and keep them so white? I occasionally use the Crest 3D Whitestrips. They’re not the best for your teeth so I don’t do it too often, but man do they work! 🙂 I’m also not a huge red wine drinker or coffee drinker, which I think helps a lot for maintenance as well! Pro tip, when I do drink coffee I sip it through a straw to avoid staining my teeth! Was there a pivotal moment that “switched” you over to healthy eating and living, or did you come to it naturally? After I lost a lot of weight as a teenager (click here to watch my video about it) it made me a lot more mindful of the food I was putting in my body (I definitely did not want to go back to my unhealthy ways!). With that said, as a teenager and young adult I didn’t know as much as I do now about healthy eating and a balanced lifestyle so I definitely indulged a lot more. […]

As summer comes to an end, another beautiful season approaches, FALL! I love long summer days and endless sunshine, but there’s something so magical about this new season, seeing the colors of the leaves change and gently shed to the ground, temperatures drop and we all get a bit cozier and cuddlier and the return of hot teas keeping our hands and hearts warm as we go about our days. To welcome this new season, I am showing you a beautiful makeup look perfect for this time of year, with a luxurious twist. This classic look featuring nude lips and a soft golden glittery eye flatters every skin tone and face shape. The touch of glitter on the center of the lid and deeper smoked out lower lash line create mystery and perfectly compliments the fall season. Wear this makeup look with warm nude cozy knits, a pair of denim jeans, a beige scarf and brown boots.   Step 1: SKIN  – I love prepping my skin before makeup by exfoliating and applying a good moisturizer – it makes a world of difference to how smooth and evenly the makeup goes on! – Apply a light layer of foundation to even out your skin tone. I used the Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Full Coverage Matte Foundation which instantly blurs fine lines and pores, and has beautiful long wear coverage without feeling too heavy or cakey. It is flawless skin in a bottle! – I then conceal and brighten any […]
