Summer is officially here and it’s time to talk about my favorite summer accessory: the straw bag. Thanks to the warm weather in LA, I’ve been wearing this trend nonstop!

Last week I went from bulk ordering Kind Bars and pens for the office to somehow ending up with ten things in my cart from Amazon fashion. Who knew there were SO many cute things you could buy on Amazon? On a whim I decided to order a few t-shirts I found for under (...)

By now you guys probably know I’m mildly obsessed with Amazon. From the best affordable drugstore makeup to all my favorite face masks, it’s my go-to for saving money AND a trip to the store. Nine out of ten times I can find what I’m looking for on Amazon for wayyy cheaper than any (...)
This month I’ve been giving my skin some extra lovin’ so I decided to share all my newest skincare favorites for this month’s Sona Selects. And believe me, I know how easy it is to neglect your skin. There’s not enough time in the day, you’re too tired, it’s too cold, skincare is too (...)
