Berry Mint Cooler

June 20, 2014

I had some extra raspberries, strawberries and blueberries that I wasn’t going to be able to consume in time, so I covered them in vodka and let sit in the fridge for a few days. After straining them I was left with the most gorgeously pink vodka and couldn’t wait to put together a refreshing poolside cocktail!

Berry Mint Cooler

3-4 oz berry infused vodka
5 sprigs of mint
Club soda
Juice of one lemon or lime

Muddle mint in the glass and top with crushed ice
Add vodka and lemon/lime juice
Stir and top with club soda
Stir and garnish with mint and top with more ice

How to Clean a Clarisonic Brush

June 19, 2014

I always have to have a little laugh when it comes to cleaning cleaning devices – bleaching your washing machine, disinfecting your dishwasher, or boiling your toothbrush… How can things used to clean get so dirty?!

Now that I’ve added another product to my daily beauty regimen, I also have added another product to my cleaning to do list – Le sigh.

Clarisonic Brush / Murad Facial Cleanser

So for those of you with a Clarisonic brush here are a few tips on how to keep yours squeaky clean:

1. Once a week unscrew the brush head and remove it from the handle.

2. Put a few drops of Dawn (or antibacterial dish soap) onto a toothbrush and scrub bristles (I also use my fingers and a couple drops of shampoo on the brush head daily for a quick clean).

3. Let the brush head air dry separately from the handle (best overnight).

4. I store mine upright in the shower (the whole device is waterproof, so I use mine as part of my shower routine) but I think you are supposed to store it face down with the cap on (you just want to make sure the bristles are protected.

5. Every 3 months change out the brush head. Personally my skin starts to take a turn for the worst if I push the usage any longer.

Happy Cleaning!

Romp Around Town

June 17, 2014

Pebble Beach was the perfect backdrop to kick start our amazing weekend… and for a couple quick snaps of one of my favorite summer outfits – the romper. It’s super comfortable, easy to wear, and a great piece to layer with. Whether it’s wearing it solo in the sun, with a sweater in the shade, or a blazer for a fun dinner out, rompers are definitely going to be in heavy rotation for me this summer.
