Sunscreen Tinted LipBalm  Pacifica

Rosehip Oil  Clarisea 

If you’re an OG, you probably remember my skincare routine post,

How to get a California Girl Glow

I use a rosehip oil every night in place of a moisturizer. Rosehip seed oil helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots, eye bags, fine lines & more. Studies have shown that it can also help to reverse the adverse effects of prolonged sun exposure. Need I say more?

This one

+ Made in small batches 

+ 100% Natural

+ Vegan & Cruelty Free

+ Fragrance Free

 

Kombucha – Pink Lady Apple-  Health-Ade 

I call this one THE GATEWAY DRUG of KOMBUCHA.

Kombucha is a great alternative to soda. It’s sweet, carbonated, and refreshing- with BENEFITS.

-Probiotics

-This one is made with Green Tea- giving you those BENEFITS

-Free-radical fighting Anti-oxidants, which prevents cancer

-Vinegar (benefits of taking SHOTS)

-Improves LDL and HDL cholesterol, preventing heart disease

-Improves several markers of Type II diabetes

These benefits may be compromised if you pick an alcoholic or high sugar recipe of kombucha.

 

Custom Ring  Capsul

This Wide Cut Out Ring is my new fave in my jewelry collection. I customized it with the name of this blog, The Californienne. But you can also use roman numerals of say, your anniversary, birthdate, or any special word. Sizes 4 to 12.5, including half sizes.

I’m so in love, see my post on IG

Arizona  Birkenstock 

These were my birthday present from June and they are straight from Berlin. authentic AF

Call me crazy. I used to think Birkenstocks were the ugliest things ever.

Maybe I’m getting older- but they are just so comfy and they’ve come back around as a trend.

Blame the 90’s

 

Custom Shampoo + Conditioner Formulate 

Shampoo & conditioner, perfectly engineered just for you. Formulated based on your characteristics, goals, lifestyle, and environment. BOOM SCIENCE

I took my quiz and made my custom blend. You can see it here

I have 10 early invite codes.

Reach out if you’d like one!

 

Sunscreen  La Roche-Posay  

Called by many THE BEST SUNSCREEN IN THE WORLD.

I have to agree. It’s GENTLE, minimal scent, leaves skin feeling clean (not greasy) and rubs in without a white cast. The French just DO IT RIGHT.

I literally keep this in the door of my car- to lather up my arms don’t want leather skin in 15 years. I’ll throw it in my tote for the beach. IT’S SIMPLY THE BEST

 

Brow Pencil  E.L.F.  

Let’s be real, brows are a part of my get ready routine everyday.

I’m back to being a student, so it was time to get real with my budget.  At $2 THIS IS THE CHEAPEST BROW PRODUCT I’VE SEEN, THAT ACTUALLY WORKS.

It has a spooly yes! + the pencil is a little thick, but just brush & blend it out. Comes in 3 universal shades.

Cruelty-Free + VEGAN

App  Poshmark

Whenever I move to France or back to California, I go through a CLEANING phase.

More on that in my Capsule Wardrobe post

I do a big sweep of KEEP, DONATE, TRASH or POSHMARK

This is the first time I’ve tried to sell my clothes and it’s going EHH. But whatever, it’s only temporary.
