Hey guys!

For my birthday this past Friday, I spent some time in Santa Barbara and Ojai, it was a while since I went up there but I was so glad to finally be back and explore more of Central California. Santa Barbara has always been a favorite city of mine, it's a small city with that small town beachy Mediterranean vibe. It also has so much to offer in terms of shopping, great restaurants, nature, and so much more!

One of the top places on my list of SB was to visit the courthouse in downtown, it was so BEAUTIFUL! It felt like I was inside a mission or a building in Morocco, the architecture and tiled interior was just so dreamy! Have you guys been before? I highly recommend going and the view from the top is simply stunning! Gotta love Santa Barbara :)

Ojai pictures coming up, so stay tuned!

BTW Hope you guys have a happy thanksgiving :)

California Drifters

♫ Woods- Creature Comfort ♫

One of the many things I love about my hometown, Long Beach, are all the new small businesses popping up in just about every corner and most are all owned by women, which is definitely very inspiring!

I'm all about supporting small businesses, especially in my city, so when I heard that California Drifters was opening up on 4th street I had to pay them a visit.

If you're into concept shops filled with cacti, home goods, organic/natural skincare, vintage clothing, and minimal goods with a boho flair then you must visit this shop. It's nestled in the heart of Long Beach in one of my many favorite areas of LBC, 4th st!

One of my favorite things about the shop was the interior decor...so mellow with a boho touch and it has plenty to offer despite its size!

Check out their IG here and make sure to pay them a visit if you're in the LBC area! :)

My finds: "California Native" patch and Sun Worshiper face serum oil by URB Apothecary, love!

Ran into a cute coffee shop in Newport Beach: Vacancy Coffee Bar

Their shop is most definitely going for that minimal vibe but it's aesthetically pleasing!

Another of my fave cafes in downtown LBC: Recreational Coffee

Try their sea salt affogato and espresso shake...to die for!

Morning selfies :)

Started using Ouai's ondulation hair spray for lazy waves I mix it up with Lush's R&B hair moisturizer and loving the results so far...plus they both smell so good!
