KP and I took a drive down HWY 1 this weekend to Big Sur, CA.  The weather was so nice we just couldn’t resist.  Funny but we have not had a Saturday off in years so we totally did not anticipate the crowds of people!  We usually are off in the middle of the week so we never see other people.  All of our favorite spots were packed so we just stopped on the side of the road and walked down a trail.

I was awed by the views!  Neither of us had been to this little cove before and we loved it.  We saw a waterfall, some interesting birds, a snake, and a few lizards.  It was really cool  KP was such a great sport about stopping to take pictures for me and by the end of it all he was way too into it.  He turns everything into a joke and we were laughing the whole time.

I know, I know I am wearing Cabi AGAIN!  Lol.  It is a major staple in my closet because I have been a stylist with them for so many years.  It will taper off here soon as I most likely won’t continue my contract with them next year.  But, this outfit was so comfortable and PERFECT for the day!  I even had a tourist stop and ask where I got my sweater.  She was so cute and bummed out that she can’t find it in China.

Thanks for stopping by!

      It is so nice right now because of all the rain we have been getting. It was full of wildflowers and green landscapes.

      You would love camping there. The cabins are super rustic and every trail leads to a more beautiful view than the last. Sadly, it’s getting a bit touristy since it is popular with the celebrities right now.

About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reac You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reach. 

I’m not @kamalaharris biggest fan but watching her take the oath of office while hold I have my two-year-old little girl I realize just how big her future dreams can be. So many emotions were brought up today. My grandmother immigrated here 66 years ago after she was thrown out of her family for constantly dreaming too big. She told me everyday I could be anything I wanted.  Grandma was adamant that I studied what I wanted, travel where I wanted and be what I want. She made that possible for me. 

I wish she could see the first woman Vice President sworn in today.

The Great Barrier Reef Cream - My favorite of the bunch.  The texture is light and creamy.  It absorbs quickly.  California Sea Kelp Actives, rich in essential nutrients and polyphenols, fortifies and hydrates skin’s barrier.  This is a gorgeous day cream.  It paired well with my SPF and foundation without any piling or caking.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.
