Nothing makes my anxiety better than a full night's sleep but I also struggle with falling asleep.  Over the years I've tried all kinds of things to help fall asleep.  I realized it is a blend that helps me.  From vitamin, exercise, and aromatherapy products.

Recently, I started using the Indie Lee SLEEP ritual.  I start with the pillow spray, then a warm bath and body wash.  The face oil and body oil.  These products smell dreamy and totally help me relax.  The Indie Lee Sleep Soak is incredible and super unique.  It is a soak and a scrub.  I usually scrub my legs and arms with it before getting into the tub.  The formula uses Dead Sea and Himalayan salts to exfoliate and provide mineral benefits from potassium, magnesium, and calcium.  The cream base helps soften and hydrate skin.  The essential oils help calm the mind and body.

I’ve fully fallen into the beauty of this novel. Spread over generations, the author weaves California history into the story beautifully. I love, love, love thinking about what Monterey/Salinas was like 100 or 200 years ago. If you want a story that sucks you in from the first page, hunt down this book, “In The Land Of Plenty” by  Mary Smathers.

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.

It is 80 degrees today! I’m so ready for Spring It is 80 degrees today!  I’m so ready for Spring and Summer. 

Switched up all my skincare this morning to get ready for warmer weather.  After months of hearing about the @motherdirt AO+ Restorative Mist from one of my skincare groups I finally added it into my routine.  OBSESSED!!! 

AO+ Restorative Mist offers a revolutionary way to repair, restore and rebalance the skin microbiome. It reveals glowing, healthier-looking skin by restoring an essential component, Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria, to your skin microbiome that has been scrubbed and stripped away by harsh chemicals in traditional skincare products.  After a long Winter of doing crazy things to my skin this mist is amazing!  I love the glow of course but I’m really impressed with how calm and happy my skin is since starting it. 

It was new for me to keep my skincare in the fridge and to apply a mist as the absolute last step— even after makeup!  The texture is not sticky and absorbs quickly leave a bit of a glow. I just sprite a little right before leaving the house. 

My results over the last 3 weeks are: less breakouts, better hydrated skin, less itchiness from wearing masks all day, and better evenness to the appearance of my skin. 

Check it out in the link in my bio and let me know what you think!
