Get to know me
These are a few of my favorite things…
- My morning ritual. It all starts with waking up earlier than the rest of the house, I throw on my coziest robe, make myself a warm cup of coffee in a fancy mug. Then I just enjoy scrolling thru social media before I start my busy day.
- I’m a cooking queen! I enjoy cooking for my family and friends. One of my favorite things to do is watch the food network for inspiration.
- Hosting. I love to throw a fancy party! And preferably one around each holiday with the perfect party food & cocktails.
- I’m totally obsessed with handbags. I have a true weakness when it comes to sparkly evening bags.
- Summer days near the beach. I live in Las Vegas, so I’m about 4 hours away from my hometown Huntington Beach, Ca. Anytime I can sneak away for a long weekend by the sea, I’m there!
