Beauty Conversations with Felicia Ruiz from Earth Medicines

Felicia Ruiz is not an average curandera. She’s not simply a traditional healer but she’s also a holistic chef, indigenous food activist, and author. Felicia lives in Phoenix, Arizona where she shares her indigenous knowledge about foods, herbs, and other remedies by offering medicine workshops and one-on-one healing sessions for her community.  During the Beauty and Travel Summit, I was fortunate to interview this iconic woman who shared with us her journey to become a holistic healer and author of a book.

Embracing Transition: My first Curly Cut w/ Curls on Fifth

The continuously developing natural hair movement that started within Black communities and now taking space within the different Latinx communities is expanding our societal perceptions of what “beauty” means. In essence, beauty is who YOU are. Curly, straight, pixie cut, Repunzel mane, afro, multi-colored, never processed, highlighted. However you choose to wear your hair is beautiful. So for me today, outside of showing you this (spoiler!) incredible cut I received at Curls on Fifth. I need to explain the impact it had on me and how powerful but also frightening embracing your own beauty is.

Why I Can’t Live Without This $2 Moroccan Hammam Scrubbing Exfoliating Mitt

I’m always looking for new ways to achieve baby smooth, bump-less skin. Whether it’s cooking up my own at-home body scrub — coffee grounds mixed with olive oil is my fave — or drowning my body in organic coconut oil immediately after coming out of the shower. Exfoliating really is just as important as hydrating but believe it or not, I’ve gotten better results from a $2 product I got in Marrakech, Morocco than from any fancy dry brush I’ve ever purchased. That’s right girls, the Moroccan hammam scrubbing exfoliating mitt — known as the kessa mitten —  cost me less than a cup of coffee in NYC but works wonders. I legit can’t live without this and I’m mad I didn’t seriously stock up while I was out there.

Morocco: How To Stay Safe Abroad

As a female traveler who lived in Morocco for 3 years, I often get asked about how I felt travelling around Morocco as a solo traveler often. Thankfully, I can say I was very blessed to few bad or scary moments in my time living alone in Morocco. Particularly, when I lived in the most remote desert village, that was 20 hours away by road to Rabat, I felt safest travelling.I definitely felt like I was prepared and aware on how to stay safe abroad.

Marrakech city nightlife is legit one of my absolute favorite things about Marrakech. While I can get down with hanging out in Djemma El Fna at night from time to time with friends to eat in one of the food stalls or listen to the Gnawa musicians or watch some of the traditional games being played, sometimes I just want to get dressed up and check out a restaurant, bar, or a good ol’ nightclub. We listed some of the must see clubs, restaurants, and lounges (by neighborhood) you can’t miss while you’re in Marrakech.

A Foreigner’s Take On Dressing Appropriately During Ramadan

Now let me begin by prefacing that I hate the idea of policing how a person, or specifically how a woman, should choose to dress herself. I’m a big supporter of dress the way that makes you happy whether that’s walking around in a toga or in a full-bodied panda suit. However, I also know that belief comes from the privilege of growing up in NYC, where individuality and eccentricity is valued and we don’t give a **** about what others think of us.

The Retreat Costa Rica, Simply Breathe

Costa Rica is one of the most vibrant, eco-friendly, and open minded cultures there is around the world. It’s surrounded by rainforests and natural experiences like visits to the Arenal Volcano, with hanging bridges, giant waterfall and thermal mineral pools. On our last journey we found a place to call home at “The Retreat” located on a crystal-quartz mountain for a world-class nature inspired, holistic healing oasis immersed in the natural beauty of Costa Rica. Soaking up the luxury of relaxation, The Retreat offers spectacular views of the Nicoya Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean.
