Our 1950s Big Bear cabin is officially in its transformation era… and I just found the detail that changed everything.

Not the furniture. Not the decor.
The one thing no one thinks about but it controls every single view.

We’re renovating the exterior decks, interior loft, and staircases and partnering with @citypostandrail for cable railings and even in the pre install phase I already know this is going to be a game changer.

Clean lines. Modern feel. And views that finally stay completely open.

And as a mom of four this part matters just as much because somehow this is the first time I feel like I’m not choosing between safety or style.

We’re getting both.

This is the upgrade that makes everything else look better and finally makes the whole vision make sense.

I didn’t come from much
Welfare, a couch in the living room that doubled as my bed but I never let that define how far I could go

I was lucky in the ways that mattered
a grandma who held it all together
cousins who made sure I never slipped through the cracks 
love showed up, even when money didn’t

Nothing came easy
nothing
every step forward was grit, stubborn belief, and choosing to keep going when it would’ve been easier not to

I always knew I wanted more
not just for me, but for the life I hadn’t seen yet

So I took risks
because when you start with nothing, you realize you actually have everything to gain

If you’re in it right now
keep going
build it anyway
dream anyway
bet on yourself anyway

You don’t need perfect circumstances
you need resilience

And if you can, help someone along the way
because that’s what changes everything

💃What’s helping my hair grow (and honestly my confidence too)…

First, I have to shout out my go-to spot in San Diego for blowouts and treatments @headlinesthesalon ….. the kind of place where it’s not just a blowout… it’s a full reset. Head massages, hot towels, and the kind of care that makes you forget your phone exists for a minute. Who knew a blowout could feel like a whole experience. Mention city girl for a discount on next blow out! 💇🏼‍♀️

For my hair growth, I take @nutrafol daily to support stronger, healthier growth from the inside.

To repair and strengthen my hair from breakage, I use @k18hair — it’s been a game changer.

At home, I wash and condition with @davines because keeping it healthy between appointments matters just as much as it is in the chair.

For extensions, I trust Chelsea at @miscahair to keep everything seamless and natural.

And I’m also spacing out my color appointments more to give my hair a break and focus on long-term health instead of constant processing.

If you’re trying to grow your hair, protect it, or just upgrade your routine, this is your sign to start now.

Save this for your hair journey or send it to someone who needs a glow-up moment.

Today, on Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember.

Years ago, I took my children to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, a day that forever changed me. The images, the stories, the weight of it all… they don’t fade. They stay with you, shaping how you see the world and your responsibility in it.

I spoke with my best friend today, and I couldn’t imagine a world where I wouldn’t stand beside her and all those I love with unwavering support, protection, and compassion.

To those who lost their lives, we honor you.
To those who survived, we carry your stories.

Never again is not just something we say, it’s something we live.

Teach it. Speak about it. Stand up for one another. 🤍
