BRANDS + PRODUCTS I LOVE
Here's the deal. If I'm raving about a product, it’s because I already love it and use it and not because I’m being paid to promote it. I only accept paid promotions/ads for products that I absolutely adore and have personally tested already. That means, I am politely declining the majority of the brands that contact me to promote their products. You can rest assured that these are actual recommendations that I stand by.
HIGH NOTES CANDLES
Full disclosure:: High Notes is my husband’s candle line.
Second full disclosure:: They are my favorite candles on the planet, creator aside.
In our house and in my studio, I’m known to burn a candle or twelve. I loathe the sticky-sweet, chemical-y, headache-inducing mass produced candles that are out there but sorta kinda also hate the price tags on the more refined luxury candle brands. High Notes candles are hand-poured coconut and soy waxes mixed with the finest fragrance and essential oils to produce a smooth and creamy finish. Even better, the price tag per candle is only $29 for these cool, sophisticated scents that will ALWAYS get compliments.
My favorite scents are Buddha Bar and Juicy…but hot damn, they’re all so yummy and sexy and palatable for everyone.

EPOQUE EVOLUTION
époque evolution
Imagine sleek looking clothes that can be dressed up or down, can be machine washed, can be packed in your suitcase without wrinkling, are moisture-wicking, odor-resistant, + damn comfortable. I swear this was my idea 5 years ago and I’m SO delighted to have found époque evolution, which my monochrome capsule wardrobe is largely comprised of.
There’s no code for this one, guys…just trust me…worth every penny. I adore the entire collection and I know you will too.
BestSELF Journal
Use code KARAMARIE for 15% off your order
I am absolutely smitten with the BestSelf journal….I’m on my SEVENTH one. This guided planner is a 13 week road map that encourages you to make goals….but beyond that….requires you to write out every single actionable step necessary to complete said goals. It is a roadmap to success if you ask me. I start every single morning with 15 minutes with my BestSELF journal, I use it throughout the day to make sure I’m staying on task and completing my action points, and I record my gratitudes morning and night. I’ve used so very many planners and journals….orrrrr at least 1 page of them. This is the ONLY one that has stuck and now I’ve got dozens of my entrepreneur friends using it. PICK ONE UP AND COMPLETE THOSE BIG GOALS.

MY FAVORITE TRAVEL SHOES: M. Gemi
M. Gemi offers the most comfortable Italian shoes and I die over them. DIE. I genuinely struggled to find shoes that were packable, comfortable, great for walking, didn’t have a long break-in period, and would look great and not sloppy or overly casual so that they could be versatile enough for all different situations. THEN I found M. Gemi and I fell madly and deeply in love. Now owning 3 pair, I can safely say I’m a customer for life.
They run quite true to size, albeit European sizes, I recommend using the size chart on their website…I measured from the longest toe to my heel and ordered accordingly. PERFECT straight out of the box and bougie dust bag they came in, and they got even more comfortable with hundreds of wears. I wore these bad boys almost exclusively throughout my trek through Europe this past summer and put them through ALL the elements…they’re still going strong and look fantastic.
