With my wedding on the horizon I’ve been focusing on healthy, fitness and maintaining a good beauty routine. I’ve been really busy so I need easy things I can keep up without much effort. I recently discovered Charlotte Tilbury’s beauty line at Nordstrom and fell in love. If you’re not familiar she’s a fixture backstage at fashion week making sure models are catwalk ready and her line is no disappointment.

I’m a sucker for packaging and presentation and love the copper tones she used on her products… call me crazy but that’s what initially drew me to her! continue reading

With the new year I wanted to create more beauty content and feature products I love and can’t live without. First up I thought I’d share my current favorite makeup products. I love to try out new products but am pretty safe simple and tend to go back to my usual lineup.  Recently I’ve discovered a couple new products and am happy to add them to my regimen.

Keeping my skin healthy and #ForeverYoung has always been really important to me, but especially now since I’m planning a wedding and want it in its best shape. I usually stick to the same products, but lately I’ve been switching it up and even added a new favorite into the mix which is Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream. continue reading

I don’t know if you’ve been near a mall lately, but holiday madness has already taken over and made them unshopable. I don’t want to deal with the parking, the crowds and the lines! I’ve resolved to do all of my shopping online this year… it’s much better on my health. Last week I shared my first holiday gift guide for all the homebody’s in your life and now I’m glamming it up. The best part? Everything is under $100!

A few months back I was looking at old pictures and noticed how long and full my eyelashes looked. I started thinking maybe over the years they’d broken off or thinned out. It got me thinking about the beauty products I used to use. The ones I grew faithful to in high school and college but drifted as the years went on. I remembered my old favorite mascara was L’Oreal Voluminous, so I picked up a tube to try again. It brought my eyelashes right back to their youthful state and I am once again hooked. The icing on the cake was when I noticed a makeup artist at work using it on celebrity guests on the show.

Managing my hair has been a learning process over several years. I have a lot of fine stick-straight hair that gets extremely tangled when it’s wet. It’s a true test of patience and I always feel bad for my hairstylist after a shampoo.  This brush has been my savor since my bestie Shelby introduced me to it.
