Polka [Dot] Dance | Cardigan + Top + Skinny Jeans + Ankle Boots

Hello! I am currently writing this cuddled up on our couch in a blanket, with Dakota at my feet, in front of our big living room window with the best early 2000s playlist on in the background. Doesn't get better than that, does it? Oh, but wait. It does get better. It's also currently RAINING. I know, I know. A lot of people hate rain but between living in Arizona and now Southern California for the past few years of my life storms have been a scarcity in my life. I have always loved the sound of rain so this is heaven on earth to me right now 😊

So this is totally off topic, but even though I've been blond-er since December, I still get taken aback whenever I see photos of myself with light hair! Does the shock ever wear off? Also, if you know of any great cruelty-free products to help with the extreme dryness, please let me know! I have never before needed hydration in my hair so badly. 
And continuing on with the theme of not staying on topic even a bit but needing recommendations: Next weekend I am headed on a road trip up to Oxnard for work. I've never been up there before. I hear it's gorgeous, and I am very excited! I will be super busy during the days but if you have any evening spots we must see/do - especially vegan-friendly spots - please share those too! Thank you!!
