In this vlog, I’m doing a super packed 1-day West Coast road trip—starting early in LA and heading down to Orange County (Laguna Beach), then driving out to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree National Park. It was one of those days where I’m basically giving you updates every time I’m consuming something (breakfast, coffee, snacks), but honestly that’s real travel life. Laguna was foggy and quiet at first, then of course the blue sky decided to show up right when we were leaving. Before we even hit the road, I walked you through my quick travel skincare because we were going to be out in the sun all day. I used the mini I’m From Rice Toner, Axis-Y Dark Spot Serum (a classic—my mom likes it too), and Medicube Vita C with my Age-R Booster Pro because vitamin C felt extra important for a full sun day. For SPF, I packed both a lightweight Axis-Y sunscreen (I’ve been liking it even more than Beauty of Joseon lately) and the Miguhara sun stick to reapply on-the-go. Joshua Tree was no joke—114°F and honestly kind of terrifying. We pivoted to a more condensed, educational itinerary with minimal hiking: Visitor Center tips + pass, Cap Rock, Keys View, the tallest Joshua Tree, Jumbo Rocks/Skull Rock, and Cholla Cactus Garden. My biggest takeaway: don’t wear sandals, don’t underestimate the heat, and if you can, stay at least one night for the full stargazing experience.
