Summer, Summer, Summertime

Summertime beauty is my favorite. It’s light, easy, and shimmer is encouraged. One of my favorite warm weather activities in the city is dining al fresco. Be it a sidewalk, rooftop, or back patio, I’m all for it, and San Francisco has plenty of options. Here’s the easy look I put together for a night …

BeautyBalm

Last month while I was in LA I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with BeautyBalm, an adorable beauty studio right on Melrose.
