Legends, Lehengas & Loving Every Moment 🤩

Girl Power in Full Swing!

Hey you!

I hope you’re having an amazing week so far!

I’ve been super excited to share some fun moments from this week, including my night time routine and some ideas for Garba dresses I’ve been playing around with. And of course, I have to tell you about meeting Olympic legend… SIMONE BILES!!! Aaahhh! šŸ˜ ā¤ļø šŸ˜µā€šŸ’«

Let’s get into it!

Meeting THE Simone Biles

There’s moments in life where I just can’t believe I get to call what I do ā€œwork,ā€ and taking my daughter to meet Olympic champion Simone Biles at the Gold Over America Tour was one of those unforgettable experiences.

Athleta invited me to celebrate Simone’s new collection, so Mila and I obviously had to rock our matching outfits from the new line šŸ˜‚. The GOAT Tour and what Simone represents is all about girl power! Her journey is a powerful example of what happens when girls break barriers!

Watching Mila’s face beam with pure joy throughout the show made me so grateful for role models like Simone. As a mom, it’s my job to help nurture my daughter’s confidence, but this night and this experience, helped reinforce those values in such a memorable way. ā¤ļø

If the GOAT Tour is coming to your city (they’re touring all of October), do yourself a favor and check it out. I promise, you’ll have so much fun!

I have to tell you about Simone’s new clothing line with Athleta! It’s everything you’d want in activewear— cute, functional and perfect for working out, running errands, or just lounging. The quality is top-notch, which is no surprise coming from a collaboration with an Olympic legend!šŸ„‡

Heads up — this is a limited collection, so you’ll want to grab some pieces before their 25% discount ends!

Beauty Faves

You know I’m always on the lookout for something to keep my skin hydrated and glowing, Hero Cosmetics Glow Balm has been my latest skin savior, especially with fall coming up and the air getting drier!

I use it under makeup to get that fresh, dewy base, and even on top for a midday touch-up! I’ve noticed that it doesn’t mess with my makeup, rather it actually feels pretty refreshing! If you’re looking for extra hydration (especially one that you can carry in your purse) you should try this out! Next time you’re at Target look for this glow stick! I also have it linked in my LTK if you want more info!

I wanted to show you my latest nighttime skin care routine with you! It’s the perfect mix of hydration, relaxation, and giving my skin the love it deserves after a long day! Maybe some of these you can add in your routine. 😊 

Step 1: Micro Peel

I love starting my routine with Philosophy's 2-Step Microdelivery Peel. It’s a super quick 5-minute treatment, but it works wonders! Packed with Vitamin C and peptides which leaves the skin looking bright.

Tip: gently massage the resurfacing crystals. No need to scrub.

Step 2: Mask Time

So the first step helps me prep my skin for maximum absorption of my treatments! Now it’s mask and eye patch time!! One of my favorite ways to pamper my skin after a long day 😊. I love giving my eyes some extra care with the Cucumber Detox Eye Patches. It really helps de-puff and feels the under eyes feeling refreshed! While that’s working, I apply the Elizabeth Arden Probiotic Mask. I’ve talked about this mask so many times before, it’s an oldie but goodie! ✨

  • Cucumber Eye Patches: De-puffs and soothes the under-eye area with a cool tingling

  • Probiotic Mask: Balances and restores skin barrier.

  • Tip: Ideal for reducing puffiness and boosting skin health!

Step 3: Finishing Touches

After removing the masks, I apply the Eucerin Hydration Serum. It’s packed with hyaluronic acid and seriously boosts hydration, leaving my skin moisturized. I’ve been really impressed with this so far!

  • Tip: Pat it in gently and follow with your favorite moisturizer

Step 4: Hair Care

For my hair, I apply Ranavat Renewing Leave-In Treatment at night when I’m not planning to wash my hair the next day. It’s lightweight and nourishing so it keeps my hair soft without making it greasy. I love applying it before bed!

  • Keeps hair soft and smooth without heaviness

  • Tip: Use on dry hair for best results

I’m obsessed with this sleek black dress from Revolve! The thigh-high slit adds a bit of style while the waist belt gives it a flattering, cinched look. It’s perfect if you’re going out for date night or to a special event, this dress is a showstopper. I paired it with my black YSL heels— it just adds just the right touch of elegance.
