The Drive

The drive out to the desert is always an adventure in itself. We make sure to put on a good playlist and usually make a couple of pit stops. The second I see the windmills, I know we're moments away from an epic weekend kicking off. It's always a landmark that makes my heart pick up.

Pool Essentials

The second we arrived at our hotel, I pulled out a few essentials to catch some sunshine and work on my tan. I’m a fan of this one-piece for Palm Springs because it has a slightly retro vibe that goes with the destination. And of course I like to stay fresh with Secret Deodorant.

Running Into Friends

Day one of the music festival fun, I met up with a friend at a local hotel for a brunch. I'm crazy about the doughnuts there, so naturally we ordered a round.

Party Hopping

Shortly after our brunch, we stopped by the Harper's Bazaar pool party to meet up with more friends.

Good Eats

The key to a nonstop epic weekend is to always start the day out with a good breakfast. We at one my favorite spots and tried the lemon curd waffles pictured.

Pool Time

After breakfast, I hit the pool to wake myself up and prepare for another day of music festival fun.

Festival After Dark

The inspiration never stops. As the sun goes down, the festival takes on a new look. Neon palm trees, spotlights, and the stages glow.

POPSUGAR Refresh, Relax, and Remix Lounge

On the final day, I had a chance to check out the superplush POPSUGAR Lounge presented by Secret Deodorant at the GUESS Hotel pool party at the Viceroy. It was the perfect hideaway between parties to cool down, charge my phone, and take some fun pictures. Since it was our third and final day of the festival, it was just what I needed to keep going.
