one year celebration

in honor of the one year mark of by dria launching, Saks and I hosted an intimate dinner party at Gurney’s Montauk Resort. in true by dria fashion, I wanted to incorporate wellness into the evening outside your normal dinner party programming. I love to curate products but I also wanted to be thoughtful with moments throughout the night that were true to me and how I live my life. 

we started with cocktail hour on the deck featuring a tequila and Vitacoco coconut water infused cocktail to counterbalance the dehydrating effects of alcohol. when we sat down for dinner at the Scarpetta Beach restaurant, set against the resort’s heavenly ocean front views, I had Bodyhealth digestive enzymes for anyone who wanted to ensure healthy digestion and PH balance in the stomach. 

we wrapped dinner and with the intention of carrying these wellness moments post event into the night and the morning after, I curated gift bags full of my trusted products. guests went home with a nighttime skincare routine, which included the Motif face cleanser (gets off the makeup but still gentle), Furtuna Skin’s biphase moisturizing oil (the most luxurious nighttime oil that makes me glow in the am) and replenishing balm, and the House of Gro body serum. to start the morning after off right, I added LivonLabs liposomal vitamin c for immune support and Kroma’s beauty matcha (because I am matcha addicted) with collagen protein!

more on the roundup below!

VITACOCO coconut water infused cocktail

this summer I integrated coconut water with my tequila, a cocktail that counterbalances the dehydrating effects of alcohol with hydrating nutrients, electrolytes, and vitamins… and I never turned back! so I wanted to start the night off with this perfect balance for my guests.

BODYHEALTH digestive enzymes

for me, digestive enzymes are a game changer for healthy digestion. they help break down the food easier and absorb nutrients better. I try to take them at meals (when I remember) and they make a huge difference with my sensitivity to bloating so I provided them for my guests in case they wanted as well.

MOTIF face cleanser

I like this gentle cleanser for my nighttime routine and love that it smells like a spa. it was formulated by a derm and has natural exfoliants so it's great after a night out. bonus it also doubles as a brightening mask.

FURTUNA SKIN biphase moisturizing oil 

this is the most luxurious nighttime oil that gives me a glow in the am. it is light-weight, which I love, and plumps my skin with moisture and hydration while I sleep. the ingredients are sustainably sourced from the hills at the brand's organic farm in Sicily.

FURTUNA SKIN replenishing balm

I use this when my skin is depleted which often happens after a night out. you apply it as the last step in your skincare routine and leave it on as an overnight mask.

HOUSE OF GRO body serum

this hydrating body serum is my new obsession. I put this on before going out and/or before bed for ultimate skin hydration. it has a roller applicator, which makes it so easy to use, and promotes circulation. it is light, not sticky, makes your skin glow and feel amazing.

LIVON LABS liposomal vitamin c 

if you know me, you know I swear by these vitamin shots. put them in a shot glass with water or a flavored water and shoot it like a real shot. it can be a little gross for some but they truly work. it is great for immune support. 

KROMA beauty matcha 

to me, this matcha gives me what I love: a multitask product. it has collagen protein, superfoods and l-theanine already in it so it saves me the step of adding my own. I like to make this as my afternoon pick me up.
