LOCAL JEWELRY DESIGNER TALKS CAREER PIVOTS, SIMPLE SELF-CARE AND THE IMPORTANCE OF KINDNESS

When I started my fashion blog in 2014, I never imagined it would evolve into an idea that would later start my jewelry brand and the beginning of my journey to discovering my love for beauty and wellness. From retiring from the dental field at the height of the pandemic and saying goodbye to the blogging and influencing world to landing my dream job at Cinnamon Shore in August of 2022, I made a promise to myself to only focus on doing things that would spark joy and bring me fulfillment. It’s so important to me to find time in my day to prioritize and take care of myself, and I have found that having a daily routine has helped me add structure to my day and create a healthy balance.

I learned everything I know at a young age from my beautiful mother who taught me the importance of selfcare. I used to love sitting and watching her make natural, homemade scrubs using ingredients like raw honey and aloe vera. She has always emphasized the importance of self-care and how feeling good on the outside can directly impact the way that you feel on the inside. I love that as an adult, I can appreciate and implement all of her beauty secrets and advice into my daily routine.

I start every day off with three daily goals: hydrate as much as possible, protect and moisturize my skin with a good SPF and moisturizer and minimize stress. Praying on my way to work and moving my body as much as I can throughout the day helps me manage everyday stress. I look forward to my absolute favorite part of the day: my daily scenic walks by the beach and around the Cinnamon Shore community. I use this time to decompress and reflect on my day. I try to get at least eight hours of sleep every night; never underestimate a good night’s rest! Getting into the habit of a consistent, adequate sleep schedule is so important and comes with so many health benefits. I also try to make regular visits to my esthetician, Traci Martinez, who has helped me so much throughout my skin journey.

The best advice I can give is that no matter what you may look like on the outside, your most noticeable and beautiful feature will always be having a kind heart that lifts and empowers those around you. While beauty fades with time, people will always remember how you made them feel. In return, life rewards us with the happiness that we sow.

La Mer, The Moisturizing Soft Cream Moisturizer

Available at Sephora

This is my absolute favorite moisturizer. It is definitely a splurge, but so worth it! It leaves my skin feeling super soft and hydrated.

Tula, 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream

Available at Sephora

This product is a great, budget-friendly alternative to the pricier La Mer moisturizer, without sacrificing quality. I love the cooling feeling it leaves on my skin and it keeps me feeling hydrated and moisturized after every application. It’s one of my current favorites.

Estée Lauder, Double Wear Foundation

Available at Julian Gold

This is hands down the best foundation I have ever tried. It’s the perfect foundation if you prefer full coverage. I’ve been using it for around 10 years and it has never disappointed me. I wore it on my wedding day and my makeup stayed flawless all night long.

Laneige, Lip Mask

Available at Sephora

I’m sure by now you’ve heard about this product made famous on TikTok, but I’m here to tell you that it’s actually worth the hype. I love applying this lip mask at the end of my skincare routine and waking up to the softest lips.

Jo Malone, Peony and Blush Suede Perfume

Available at Dillard’s

I feel like I’m transported to an English garden when I wear this scent. It’s heavenly and an all-time favorite of mine. It’s light and subtle, yet sweet and bold. I wear it on special occasions and I love the memories that it brings.

Oribe, Serene Scalp Soothing Leave-On Hair Treatment

Available at

I love using this scalp treatment after styling my hair all week with heat, and it leaves my scalp feeling soothed and refreshed.
