Travel: A Guide to The Sonoma Coast

My boyfriend and I made our first trek to Jenner, CA along the Sonoma coast and we fell in love with the scenery and the laid-back feel. The long sandy beaches with tidepools, rugged headlands, and secluded coves make this area really unique. Not to mention the amazing food and wine!

Where to stay

 

 

 

If you want to get away with no cell service, you must stay at Jenner by the Sea. The row of adorable cottages sits along the Russian River, near where the Pacific Ocean meets the river. We stayed in the Grey Whale Cottage which was absolutely darling. The cottage sits right on the water, with a large deck to sit out and enjoy morning coffee while looking out at the water. The last photo (above) is the view from our deck – absolutely no one in sight!

Where to eat

River’s End is the perfect spot for a romantic and/or a special occasion meal spot. If it’s not too cold, you can sit out on their patio for GORGEOUS views of the Pacific Ocean. The food is all local and organic. While I’m not a pasta eater, I was pretty tempted to get their restaurant-made pasta (but I resisted)!

Wine tasting

 

Aah, the (few) wineries along the Sonoma Coast are stunning, not to mention delicious. SCV tasting room in Bodega Bay is the cutest spot to grab a flight, or to try out all of their selections. The tasting room is brand new and is beautiful inside.

Fort Ross Winery (pictured above) is a huge estate that sits above the coastal fog with views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s quite a trek to get there from the main road – you would never find it otherwise! They’re known for their smooth red wines, and if you’re not into oaky chardonnay, this is your place!

What to see

 

The views along the coast are STUNNING. If you drive along highway 1, there is so much to see. Stop for a picnic on the beach and check out the tidepools and sea life. My tip: bring layers!

if you can’t go more than a day without washing if you can’t go more than a day without washing your hair (like me), let me introduce you to this 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner combo that is truly so nourishing 🪄🧴 
@hairstorystudio NEW WASH was developed because most shampoos weaken the hair and strip out vital oils since most rely on detergent. New Wash is a cleanser but doesn’t contain any detergent & has a proprietary blend of essential oils & saturated cleansers. 
My hair is never greasy after using it and my dry AF scalp loves it! I’ve been using it for a couple of months now and I’m truly impressed by how nourishing it is for both my hair + scalp. ✨

I love trying new products and these are some ✨new✨faves of mine I have to share with you:

@saintjanebeauty lip oil: love a high-shine gloss and this is ITTT. It’s actually called a lip oil which did scare me before trying it, but really just feels like a gloss. It’s not greasy at all. the sparkly pink is my fave 💖 

@herbivorebotanicals moon fruit: calling all pregnant/breastfeeding mamas! this product is a retinol-alternative serum that's clinically-proven to treat signs of aging with 1% bakuchiol + plant peptides. I started using it a few months ago and really love it. I do miss retinol (still breastfeeding) but this is a gentler option. 

Burdock oil: I had no idea about this oil until I researched ingredients for the best scalp treatment and this is one of the ingredients I use in my DIY scalp treatment. However I’ve also been using it on my face to double cleanse because it is anti-inflammatory and antibacterial. 

@lysbeautyofficial blush: this is the color humble and it’s the prettiest orangey pink which is fab for summer. I’m a cream blush convert because it’s so much more natural looking than powders. & this one is matte, so it won’t look greasy ✨
Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out you Your most beautiful life is meant to bring out your core values. 
I’ve always had a vision for my most beautiful life. But with anything, it needed some refinement (as with everything in life).
Since I have become deeply entrenched in coaching, I have been able to identify my core (vs acquired) values to be able to design my day/life. 🌸 
Some questions to ask yourself to do the same:

I’m your dream day, what are you wearing? 
What values are you living by?
What does your environment look and feel like?
Where do you live?
What activities bring you energy?
