Meet Christiana Hooks. Film and television writer, producer AND director.

When we set out to create The Happy Place my dream was that it would be a place that, when visited, would inspire and uplift.

I think we all know my deep deep love for skincare. Indulging in lotions and potions for my face and body is truly one of my favorite forms of self care.

I think we can all agree that the past few months have brought on a laundry list of ‘first’s’ for all of us.

I don’t know about you, but this quarantine has made me deeply miss the talented people that help me achieve all of my favorite self care rituals.

I don’t know about you, but I have tried to make self care a priority during this unique time.

I have sat down to write about this unique moment our world is experiencing more times than I can count.

As the rain trickles down in LA, I am taking a minute to make some final design decisions about our construction project.

Ok, I’m admittedly a total skin care junkie.

Over the summer I decided to start diving into the cabinets and cabinets of family photos in my parents home.

Over the holidays the girls were given some really fun board games as gifts.

I showed Nick my idea of Valentine’s Day lingerie and he thought it was SO funny!

Fact: I will take buffalo chicken any way you give it to me.

I have said it before and I will say it again, the Boss Babes feature at THP is one of my favorites.

There are a million reasons to explain why the idea of cuddling up with a warm and fuzzy blanket is all that is on my mind.

For those of you who may follow my public Instagram page, you may have seen my post about the passing of my father.

I always love a little pop of animal print, but this season it seems to be making a big statement!
