Happy Saturday lovelies! Its only been a week since I got back from the best girls trip of my life. yes you heard it of my LIFE! 


Last Tuesday my girl gang from Foray Collective and I headed to Park City, Utah for some fun in the snow!
Morning flights are definitely not my thing, but was so happy to travel alongside some of my favorite blogger babes , Evelina , Jessi Malay , Kaitlynn Carter, Jill Wallace, Sophie Elkus, Alana Greszata, Kelsey White, Eileen from Child of Wild and one of the most talented photographers in the game Derren Versoza.





 It was my very first time to Park City and was shocked to see how incredibly beautiful and picture -esq it was! Straight from SLC to our immaculate house which was situated in the Enclave at Sun Canyon community.the girls from Foray really stepped up their decor game, it was filled with endless amounts of snacks , drinks and of course a closet full of clothing that we could all go in and choose from! ( every girls dream )






There was enough time for a few of us to do a mini photo shoot of our warm cozy looks before we then hit the town for some HOT TOTTIES and appetizers....followed by 4 rounds of shots!











Now on to dinner....words cannot describe how delicious The Riverhorse on Main St. was. Oysters , Scallops , Sea Bass, pot stickers it was all an orgasm to your mouth! First class dining at its finest! 
The room was festive , not stuffy and the musicans added to the atmosphere. The highlight of the night was when two young boys came over and asked to take a photo with our table......I think he was loving all the beautiful young ladies all at one sitting ! 


Although the cold weather and I do not mix so well - sipping on vodka, tequila, and dancing around to Justin Bieber on repeat sure did warm us all right up. If you follow me on snapchat you definitely got to see a live cap of how much fun we were having! The most fun slumber party I have ever been a part of !

Day two was perfection we headed out to the slopes to go snow tubing, and  yes, it was my very first time and I was scared to death! little did I know it would bring out the 10 year old year in me again! after a couple hours of tubing we headed back to the house for some in home spa treatments and Thai Takeout followed by Movie night with yours truly Leo DiCaprio for a little catch me if you can ;)

So many laughs and memories with an amazing group of talented and pure women - I am ready for the next trip! Where shall Foray take us next??? hmmm.....


Check out some of the pieces I wore on the trip below:

Ingredients : 

-1/2 cup of frozen blueberries

I have dropped skinny jeans for now, why? because 1. flares are back, and 2. they make my legs look incredibly long! Flared jeans definitely gives you the illusion of thinner longer legs as you can see from this photo! You would never believe that I am actually only 5'4. Below are my top 10 favorite picks for some groovy denim!

Yes ladies the flares are back with a vengeance and I am nothing but stoked about it.

Ultra Hydration with Argan Oil x Moroccan Oil

I am notorious for being lazy especially when it comes to my hair, because there is just so much of it! A lot of people ask me ... how do you get your hair so long ? what do you use to keep it looking so shiny and thick? how often do you wash it? 

Today I am partnering with Moroccanoil to share an amazing pairing.  It has been about 6 years now that I have been using Moroccanoil  products on my hair. 

Why? Because,  Argan oil  is found in every single one of Moroccanoil products. Did you know it has been used for centuries as an old age beauty secret by women to help hydrate and soften the hair, face, body and nails!

I only wash my hair about 2x maybe 3x a week, allowing the natural oils to develop. Over washing can leave your hair extremely dry and dull especially if you color it. 

Moroccanoil Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner is rich in antioxidants and is extremely gentle. You can almost feel how moisturizing it leaves your hair feeling after rinsing. Not to mention its Sulfate, Phosphate, and Paraben Free!



Once you get out the Shower towel dry your hair so it is a bit damp. Heres a little mixology that I have discovered: Mix all natural PURE Argan Oil with Moroccanoil Treatment about the size of a quarter and run it all through your hair especially on the ends where it tends to be the most dry. Be careful not to apply to much so your hair wont be left too oily.



Step 3: I swear by this brush. It travels with me everywhere , and is the only round brush I use to style my hair ! 

The Ceramic 55cm Moroccan Oil Round Brush enhances your drying time and leaves the hair extremely shiny and smooth especially effective for medium to long length hair like mine!


Voila! Here is the final product! 

Tip:  PURE Argan Oil is 100 % natural, so  I use a tiny bit, and I mean a very tiny drop and lather all over my face before applying my tinted moisturizer! it really gives you an extremely glowing look! Extremely rich in antioxidants, vitamins helping to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

8 Beauty Products I cannot live without

With March just around the corner - I wanted to share with you guys 8 beauty products that have been a part of my everyday for 2016 so far! 

I like to switch up my products, but there is just one beauty essential that I just cannot live without. Vaseline has been a part of my everyday lip regime for many many years; why? because it provides long lasting moisture. clinically proven to heal dry lips. I put it on throughout the day at home, and before bed every night, but nothing for on the go. Until now!

These little tins have been a complete lifesaver, it has been tough for me to bring a big tub of vaseline around, so these gems are perfect for the purse!

 Not to mention Vaseline works as a great eye makeup remover as well! 

 Funny enough when I was 2 yrs old my mother found me in her bedroom  covered from head to toe in Vaseline! Needless to say it took hours to wash it off of me!



Loving all of the different flavors the cocoa butter is my favorite! Get yours at Target





For  Hydrated Skin: Herbivore Rose hibiscus Coconut Water facial spray - My skin has been super dehydrated lately due to the bi polar weather here on the west coast - so a good facial spray is a must. Perfect to use following your morning and night routine to lock in moisture!

For problematic eyes: 5 in 1 eye cream - For the most part I am sleep deprived and was in desperate need of an all in one eye cream, this little bad boy smoothes, firms, brightens, and nourishes skin leaving that subtle look under the eye area. Best used before bed!

For Clear Skin: Kate Somerville gentle daily wash cleanses and conditions your skin. Helps to remove makeup and unclog those pore! I use this morning and night :) this cleanser always leaves me refreshed.

For Pretty Nails: Zoya nail polish in AVRIL - finally a nail polish that lasts! yes can you believe it! Zoya stays on for longer than two days! This color is perfect for spring.

For a fresh scent: Victor and Rolf Flower bomb - Flowers always have the power to make everything more positive. This scent is painfully addictive as I have been using it for about 4 years now. Needless to say I AM OBSESSED.

For Bigger Lips: Buxom: A lip plumper that really works! I use buxom plumping gloss after I apply Vaseline for a pop of color! 

For instant Repair: First aid beauty oatmeal mask - this 10 minute fix heals your dry skin instantly achieving soft subtle results! I use this about twice a week.

racquel natasha coachella festival style winston white clothing cleobella soludos


Coachella is just days away guys, I'm so excited to share with you one of my outfits and my tips for an unforgettable Coachella weekend!

It's always super hot at Coachella so I recommend wearing something breezy, loose fitting like this beachy tie-dye two-piece set by Winston White. I'm matching it with my Soludos espadrilles to round up my colourful bohemian look. Also you definitely want to keep your hands free, which is best done with a shoulder bag like this Cleobella fringe crossbody bag that offers plenty space to store your water and sunscreen.

What are your go-to tips for the upcoming festival season? Write them in the comments below!

Better late than never! Sorry I've been a bit MIA on my blog, but so much has been going on lately. Right before First weekend of Coachella, I got to visit Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with Modeliste Magazine in April. 

Me and my girls Jill (@littleblackboots) and Jessi (@jessimalay) spent an unforgettable week at the Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel just before heading straight to Coachella. Porto Vallarta is a dream hideaway with a beautiful beachfront and mesmerizing sunsets! We really enjoyed spending our evenings chilling by the hotel cabanas,.

Our last night we had the most amazing dinner at La Palapa restaurant right by the beach! I would highly recommend this destinations as one to put on your bucket list!

Thank you Modeliste Magazine for an unforgettable trip!

I had an amazing time at Coachella this year. Foray Collective invited several bloggers and influencers to a beautiful estate minutes away from the Coachella festival field in in Indio, CA!

 We got to spend Saturday at a daytime party at the house sponsored by Tinder, Kopari Beauty, Frank Bod and Childwild amongst others. Brody Jenner was DJing for us as well as Amy Pham and a special guest performance by Rozes. Right after we headed to the festival and danced the night away to Jack Ü. The next day was even more fun as we joined the Bootsy Bellows party during the day and later on an evening party back at the Foray Collective house with Postmalone and finally the Neon Carnival.

For my afternoon outfit I paired  bebe White heartbreaker denim  with a simple black choker, and heels that I could also rock to dinner! 

Just a few hours after we had an amazing welcome dinner at THE DORIAN where I had the yummiest sea bass dish, and the most perfect Pinot Noir! YUMMY!



Sweater Crop Top found HERE 


Day Two was absolute perfection clear blue skies and warm weather finally!The girls and I explored Sausalito where we had an amazing lunch and walked around the cutest little town over looking the ocean! 



My last night in San Fran I was Sexy in Silk  -  Top found HERE Slitted Silk Slitted Pants


Good Morning Day 3 From the Clift hotel San Fran! Insanely gorgeous view of the city from my room!

Made a pit stop at union square and found the monumental heart that matched my outfit perfectly!

Good Morning lovers! I get asked this question ALOT. How do you get your teeth so white?
 From the age of 20 till now I have been using crest whitestrips on the regular. 

As you can see above they have made my teeth extremely white over the last decade. For beginners I would highly suggest using Crest 3D White supreme Flexfit Whitestrips for about an hour, everyday for two weeks. Crest uses enamel safe teethwhitening ingredients dentists use and provide a comfortable at home teeth whitening experience.

With wedding season in tact , it would definitely be my go to product to use whether you are the bride, the groom, in the bridal party or attending someones big day habing  bright white smile is a must have to ensure you are camera ready!

I really need to get better at posting more often! Promise my loves, I am getting better :)

About a day and a half after coming back from San Fransico,  I headed down south, a short 2 hour flight from LA to Baja California with a new start up company called , The Paradise Society.

 The trip consisted of  we chilling, taking amazing photos for some rad brands, eating amazing food, and a bit of yoga!

 Shannon Barker   and Lacy Claire two gorgeous models,  Derren Versoza my all time favorite photog and myself, spent 3 nights in the coziest yoga retreat and botique hotel Pachamama Mexico located in Todo Santos about an hour and a half drive from San Jose del Cabo Airport. 

The coziest part of the trip was sleeping in the most luxurious Teepees that I have ever seen! they were  surprisingly very modern inside. Pachamama gave us the five star treatment with a personal chef who provided us with the tastiest homemade guacamole that has ever entered my mouth!

If you are ever looking to visit the Baja I would highly suggest this luxurious yet simple Retreat.
