SKULLS AS DECORATION? YES!
When it comes to a home décor style, Britt and I definitely each have our own distinct tastes. However, often times when choosing home accessories, we find ourselves gravitating towards the same pieces and love to use the same home accents, but in different ways. While on our 40th birthday trip in Mexico, we went shopping in the small town of Sayulita (where we also surfed up a storm!) and a friend of mine had recommended that we check out this local shop called Evoke The Spi


KEEP THE SUMMER GLOW GOING WITH OUR FAVE BRONZERS
Totally your typical California girls (and admitted beauty junkies), Cyn and I both love to have a nice golden glow all year around (who doesn’t?). With summer coming to an end, it is the perfect time to transition that warm summer sun-kissed skin into the fall with a good bronzer. Having tried virtually every bronzer out there, at every different price point, I have a pretty good idea of what products provide great results. I wanted to share with y’all Cyn and I’s favorite b


FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU
When I do a Ruby event, one thing I try to get across to everyone is the importance of loving yourself first. Taking care of you first is foundational. Putting on your own oxygen mask first is key. People, especially women, find this hard to do. We ladies are more nurturing, which is a beautiful way to be, but if we do not take care of ourselves first, we will eventually become resentful and burnt out. A lot of people feel it's selfish to put themselves first, but this is a l

I’m a seasoned traveler, so when it came to my honeymoon, I wanted to make sure our trip had all of the elements of a wonderful vacation: relaxation, adventure, luxury, and gourmet food and drinks. Adam and I decided on Oahu, Hawaii because I had never been, and Adam has been going since he was a kid and it has always been a special place for him. We loved that Oahu offers a nice mix

PINTEREST-WORTHY COCKTAILS WITH LAVENDER INFUSED ICE CUBES
Having seen all sorts of gorgeous cocktails all over Pinterest lately, I was feeling very inspired to make my own cocktails a little prettier and more appealing the next time I was entertaining. These Lavender Infused Ice Cubes turned out to be the perfect drink accoutrements to easily impress my guests. And obviously, the best part is, you can make them ahead of time! After some hunting around, I found the perfect ice cube trays on Amazon. They are great because they make l


A CORRECTIVE MARRIAGE VOW
I recently had the privilege of being asked to officiate the wedding of my ‘poster couple’ Brittany Daniel and Adam Touni. Brittany had been referred to me for coaching in March 2016, as she was reinventing herself and committed to doing the work she needed to clear the decks in order to meet her true soul mate. Four months later, enter Adam, the truest suitor a girl could ever manifest! In working with them closely as a couple over the next few months, I was able to instill


MY PRE WEDDING WORKOUT TIPS
As a bride-to-be, the to-do list for the wedding day never ends. If you don’t prioritize, it can mean forgetting one of the most important parts of the day: feeling your best. Now that I’m officially a married woman (woohoo!), if I can give one piece of advice to all the brides out there it would be: Do not fall victim to the crash diet. Give yourself at least three months beforehand to become your best YOU by eating clean and maintaining a regular workout routine. No matter

MY WEDDING DIY PROJECT: COPPER VASES
From the decadent flowers, candles and greenery, to the installations and terrariums, Stephanie Elhayani at Seed Floral made the dining area at our wedding an urban chic secret garden. I loved how she made the process of choosing flowers seem so easy and she always stayed inclusive with my copper theme. I am obsessed with copper. I cannot get enough of it. I think I was inspired by Moscow mule mugs, lol! One of my favorite parts of our wedding was our unique table centerpiece
