Laundry and I have a love/hate relationship. I love jumping into bed to nice, warm, fresh sheets that smell like lavender and just heaven. However, I hate doing laundry. It is definitely not one of my favorite chores lol. Some people find it therapeutic. My forms of therapy include organization and closet clean outs. With any chore or task, I try to make it as enjoyable and health conscious as possible. With my many allergies, I like to keep my products as clean and simple as possible. Below are some of my favorite all natural laundry products and my favorite scents!

The Laundress is one of my absolute favorite companies to shop all laundry products.  I pretty much have their entire line.  I love the scents they have, especially their new collab with Le Labo!  Their signature scent smells so lovely, like a combination of jasmine, sandalwood, lilies, and fresh citrus.  All their products are eco-conscious and easy to use without harsh chemicals, pro-planet and less plastic and never tested on animals.  I also am obsessed with how they have specific formulas for different types of garments, like detergents for darks, whites and even denim!  I also use their sports detergent on all my athletic clothing since I workout a lot! I truly love their story and all their products!
Shop them below.

Here are some other products I love using and the scents I usually buy them in.

The new year is a perfect time to tackle any room or area that you have been putting off. I like to also update and redecorate certain areas, which makes your home feel like you are giving it a little facelift. My tip would be to take one area at a time as a project or else it can get overwhelming. Dedicate one room for the week and do everything from declutter the space, deep clean, organize and decorate!
The kitchen and pantry are probably my favorite places. I tend to pull everything out and reorganize a lot. It has become my stress reliever! lol. I also love making sure my closet is organized and easy to navigate. This makes picking out outfits much easier.

I listed some products and items I use in my home that help me organize and declutter! I will be doing a follow up post with all my favorite household items, which you can also shop on my Amazon storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-c38e0d56
Comment below for any product suggestions you may need for your home.
I promise these small moves will get your year off to a great start and a fresh new space! Wishing everyone a better, safer and happy year ahead filled with lots of peace, love and light!

Even though it shouldn’t take a movement to feature these amazing companies or put
black-owned businesses into the spotlight, I love that these companies are getting the recognition they deserve.
 These women behind the scenes of these companies are not only selling incredible products, but usually are the
trend-setters that not many people are aware of.  I’ve listed beauty companies below that have always been my
favorite and the products I use from each!  I would love to discover new beauty brands as well and the founders
behind it, so if you have any favorites, drop them below in the comments!

Pat McGrath Labs

I love this brand so much!  Pat McGrath is a self-made billionaire with her love of makeup starting at seven years old.
 She’s won countless awards and has had best selling products over and over again.

*I get her Lust Lipglosses in colors: Flesh Fantasy & Flesh Astral.  I mix them
together to create the perfect pink beige! Obsessed!

B. Simone Beauty

I try to use as many vegan and cruelty-free products as possible, which is why I love B.
Simone Beauty!  She launched in 2019 and became so popular right away!  The packaging is pretty and the products are
very affordable! My favorites are the lip mattes & lip pencils.  I have the lip matte in the color “Money Maker”
which is a gorgeous red and also the lip liner in color “Forever Young”, which is a really pretty beige pink.

This year’s creator’s summit was filled with inspirational panel discussions, celebrity keynote speakers, educational workshops, wellness and beauty activations and tons of networking with top brands.  There were so many incredible entrepreneurs and brands that I was able to meet.  It was truly an inspiring couple days, hearing everyone’s stories and journey to success.  I was able to connect with current brands I work with, make new partnerships and learn so much from my favorite speakers, including my forever fashion icon, Sarah Jessica Parker!  Below is a recap of my time at the BlogHer Summit!  Thanks so much for having me!

RESORT: PEDREGAL

There are many beautiful hotels and resorts in Cabo, but Pedregal is by far my favorite. It is where I stay every time I visit. I love it because it is of course so pretty and the service is always top notch. It has this authentic relaxing vibe which makes you feel like you are definitely in Mexico. Some of the other hotels are more modern, which for me personally, takes away from the Mexican feels that I want to experience. They have a beautiful pool that you can literally spend all day at and not get tired of the amazing views. They also have incredible restaurants. I like to venture out for dinners sometimes, but they designed this resort so you don’t have to leave!

Pedregal Views

Pedregal Crudo Bar

RESTAURANTS

EL FARALLON

This restaurant is located at Pedregal.  It is a beautifully built restaurant literally on top of a cliff.  You are surrounded by rocks and feel like you are dining in somewhat of a cave.  The experience is also unique as you do a walk through process to order your food.  You are greeted with champagne and you choose your seafood or meats from the display directly along with your sides and dessert before you even sit down.  The food is top notch and so is the service.  I love dining at this restaurant around 6pm, so you truly get to take in the sunset and beautiful views.  A must have in Cabo, especially if you are staying at Pedregal.

EDITHS

I usually hit this restaurant the day I get in Cabo, because it is casual, yummy and comfortable. I don’t eat meat, but my family always orders the steaks here which they say are bomb.  The seafood is SO good.  I usually order the lobster =)

THE OFFICE ON THE BEACH

This restaurant is literally right on the sand.  It’s super casual, extremely busy and a fun environment.  I like to come here for breakfast because they have the best waffles and huevos rancheros!  Literally so good!  I like coming during the day the best, that way you have a pretty view of the beach.  If you are celebrating someone’s birthday, this is also a fun place to go during the day.  They bring you their famous corn cake, which is AMAZING.  The whole team will come sing at your table and make the birthday girl or boy knock back a tequila shot followed by a head shake to really get them tipsy lol.

CASA CALAVERA

This restaurant is at the beautiful Vidanta Hotel.  It is in the same hotel that Omnia Dayclub is located at, so you can always do the dayclub if you want to party and eat here after.  I usually come here for dinner.  The restaurant is hip and fun, with live music usually playing.  They have really cool decor and outside tables on the sand if you want to sit outside.  The food is SO good too, which is what I love about this place; not only a cool theme, but bomb food! I always order the hibiscus margaritas, as well as tacos and all the ceviches.

JAZAMANGO

This restaurant is not only amazing food but an incredible experience.  They are a farm to table restaurant, with all ingredients sourced locally and all organic.  The menu is so unique and so yummy!  It is truly worth the drive out.  It may seem like it is in the boonies, but once you arrive, you will be so happy you went! You should definitely come here during the day for lunch to experience the beautiful farm.  We visited Hotel California which is nearby and ate at this restaurant after.  It is a fun day trip if you want to try something different and leave your resort.

TORO LATIN KITCHEN AND BAR

This is a cool dinner restaurant with a lot of Peruvian influence.  They offer lots of seafood incorporated in their Mexican menu.

SUVICHE

Suviche is located at The One and Only Hotel.  If you’re craving sashimi or sushi, this is your spot.  I like to come here for dinner when I need a little break from the tacos and straight Mexi food.  Below are the rolls and sashimi I get.

SUNSET MONALISA

Sunset Monalisa is another restaurant you need to experience at least once.  The all white restaurant has the most magical views.  I always felt the food isn’t the best in Cabo, but it’s yummy.  This is one of the restaurants that you visit for the experience and views.  They announce sunset by blowing a horn and sometimes fireworks.  The restaurant feels like a fairytale when you are dining.  Make sure to take lots of pictures!

BARS/LOUNGES:

Usually when I go to Cabo, it is more of a relaxing vacation for me, so I don’t partake in nightlife that much.  However, if you want to grab a drink or go out out, below are some spots I have been to!

Coconut-Based MCT Oil
This is great on a Keto diet, which is the diet I do the most. MCTs are a type of fat that help your body reach ketosis-the process which your body burns fat for energy. I use this Premium MCT Oil and put a tablespoon in my coffee every morning.

Ora Organic Supplements
I’m obsessed with Ora! I take several of their supplements and after trying many vegan supplements, these work best for me. The team is also so friendly and helpful!  They will walk you through and figure out which supplements work best for you. Below is what I take daily from Ora.  Check out their website as well because they have so many more supplements I can’t wait to try.

“Trust Your Gut” Vegan Probiotics with Prebiotics: I love that these have prebiotics in the capsules as well. Probiotics help manage your gut health, immune functions, as well as being acid-resistant. Prebiotics serve as the fuel for probiotics and keep good bacteria in your gut thriving. These also help with mood balance, hair and skin, and help fight against pathogens. I take these on an empty stomach every morning.

“You’re Golden” Organic Turmeric Curcumin Pills: It is so important for turmeric pills to have curcumin and black pepper in them, because it enhances absorption. Turmeric, in my opinion, is the best thing to help inflammation and the only thing that truly helps me.  It also supports joint stress and cardiovascular health. It’s great for bloating and anyone who suffers from inflamed stomachs. I take these on an empty stomach every morning.

“Appley Ever After” Organic Apple Cider Vinegar Pills: ACV helps your body detox from unwanted toxins. Some people prefer to take an ACV liquid supplement (which I used to do), however I prefer these pills so much more. It is easier to take and you don’t have to mix with anything or deal with that ACV taste! Plus taking pills prevents erosion of tooth enamel from acetic acid when you take it in liquid form. I love that these pills also have organic milk thistle and lemon, which are high in antioxidants. I take two tablets with lunch.

HUM “Red Carpet” Skin & Hair Supplement:  I love these vegan supplements!  They have vitamin E and antioxidants to help support glowing skin and shiny hair.  It also helps minimize pores and prevent wrinkles.  I’m obsessed with these.  It almost gives you a head to toe glow from within.  The main ingredients in these supplements are black currant seed oil and sunflower seed oil.

Ritual Vitamins: After doing LOTS of research, I decided to try Ritual multivitamins.  I like that they’re vegan, organic, and apart from all other popular women’s multivitamin, they have only 9 essential ingredients, which are folate, omega-3, vitamin b12, vitamin d3, iron, vitamin k2, boron, vitamin e, and magnesium. Ritual is passionate about giving you only what your body needs, the necessary amounts and nothing extra.  They have a no-nausea capsule design and of course no synthetic fillers or colorants. So far, I love them and can already feel a difference.  Their mission is to create a stronger foundation for better health.
