Restoration Hardware: Brunch Edition

Brunch is such a luxury.  So is Restoration Hardware.  What do you get when you put them together?! One of the most satisfying, design-rich brunch experience around!

This was actually my second experience at Restoration Hardware Cafe because I just love the whole experience that much!  It is SUCH a beautiful space.  Thought and consideration has been put into every detail, from the view into the kitchen right down to the apparel of the servers.

Chandeliers are inherently feminine, but mixed with the right metals, fabrics, and materials and suddenly it’s not just feminine it’s a complete aesthetic.  I LOVE the design of this entire space because of the way it makes me feel.  It’s tranquil and luxurious, and exactly the kind of space you want to spend time in.

The menu has not been neglected in terms of details.  It’s highly curated to just a few VERY WELL DONE dishes.  Personally I find the scrambled eggs to be decadent and delicious.  They incorporate so much more into this dish than simply eggs, and it elevates said eggs from a breakfast staple to an experience.

The tea service is my other favorite aspect besides the design.  The tea is casual silver service.  It feels like a tea party for one (or two, if your dining partner also likes tea)!  I know there are multiple locations of the Restoration Hardware Cafe, is there one in your city? If yes, have you been?  Let me know in the comments!

Travel Skincare: 5 Favorites

I’ve recently changed my focus. I’m now into skincare.  But not just any skincare, travel skincare! Or TRAVEL FRIENDLY I should say.  I was focused on makeup and finding the greenest and most pure (for makeup). Now however, thanks to newly becoming a low-key FANGIRL of The Skinny Confidential, I’m into ALL kinds of skincare.  I have always been very good at having a morning and evening routine comprised of a clean face and then a great moisturizer or serum.  Now though, I have a wedding coming up (MY OWN) and I want the most dewy, fresh, well rested, looking skin I can achieve!
 Travel Skincare
However, I have some particular needs because of how much I travel.  So I’m going to share with you my new favorite 5 travel skincare items!
 Travel Skincare
  1. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
            I bought this because it said “sleeping mask” and who hasn’t woken up with dry lips before…ESPECIALLY IN A HOTEL.  After the decision to purchase I found out that Laneige is one of those “cult beauty” products that people just love.  It’s not hard to see why, because it just does so much for your lips! You have to be religious about using it every night, but I swear my lips are fuller.  It’s also a god send to carry on the plane with you because it’s like a moisture locking barrier that insulates your lips!
 Travel Skincare
  1. Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream
            This night cream combined with my nightly serum has made the texture of my skin so soft.  The story behind the Drunk Elephant brand is fun too and has to do with ingredients.  You can read that here.  I also love how hygienic the dispensing of this product is.  You press down on the top and it squeezes out, instead of having to stick your fingers into the jar.
 Travel Skincare
  1. Avene
            I just bought this a few days ago and I’m already loving it.  It’s a french skincare product so of course it’s fabulous, but it literally melts makeup away.  WATERPROOF EYELINER? buh bye.  I don’t LOVE the smell, it smells very clean, but I can get past that for how well it does it’s job.
 Travel Skincare
  1. Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Moisturising Face Sunscreen
            I have the full body sunscreen of this as well and I just adore both.  Traditional sunscreen has MULTIPLE ingredient that are considered toxic, and this product was designed to be as green and pure as possible.  It’s also tinted so it’s a great light foundation!
Travel Skincare
  1. Glow Recipe Watermelon Pink Juice
            THIS SMELLS SO GOOD. If you like watermelons, which I do.  But it also is such a great daily moisturizer!  I put it on in the morning before all my makeup and it hydrates my skin, smells amazing, and helps my makeup sit even better on my skin.  I also love the design of this product, it’s beautiful to have sitting out on your vanity.

Those are the five products I’m loving and have been taking with me on all my travels lately.  What skincare secrets do you have?! Share with me in the comments!
