Well, hello! It’s been a long few weeks away from The Bella Insider! How have you been? I was super excited to write this month’s monthly favorites. With lots of new friends around here that are unfamiliar with my “monthly favorites”, this series on the site is not only a way for me to share some of my most memorable moments/products/sights of the month, but it’s also a way for me to chat with y’all a bit and get you caught up on real life happenings.
I had quite the month in sunny California fighting two colds and a stomach bug! Despite the sicknesses, I was able to focus on myself, make sweet memories with friends, and regain sight + re-prioritize my life before going back to school. Many of you have been keeping up with my travels via the hashtag #SawahInCali, and I so appreciate that I was able to chat with y’all there. July is always such a bittersweet month for me, because it’s my favorite time of the year, but it also marks the end of summer break. Considering this is probably my last real summer break ever, it was extra bittersweet!

I think I need to head to Huntington Beach…that sunset is amazing!!
You totally do! The waves are incredible, too! XO, Sarah
