New Skincare Routine: Pregnancy Safe

admin — Thu, 19 Mar 2020 22:49:45 +0000

Just because you’re pregnant and your body has to suffer from growing a human being (soon to be the size of a watermelon) doesn’t mean your skin has to! In fact, most pregnancies, your skin takes on a whole new world. From raging hormones that cause some serious break outs to soon to be glowing skin. At least that’s what everyone says! Your skin takes a true beating which is why you still need some self love but with pre caution because there are some harsh ingredients in a lot of skincare that you may not have known or even thought about before. I sure didn’t and it took me a good minute to go through the list of my favorite products to see what was safe and what was not and it was pretty scary to see how many were not safe. I had to store those away for after baby and do some serious research (as I am no expert) to change up my skincare routine. Just a smidge to ensure the best for my little! I’m linking below my new regime (in order of routine) plus a list of other pregnancy safe products to try as well […]

These Bags Are Not Designer: MOM LIFE

admin — Wed, 09 May 2018 11:00:35 +0000

These Bags Are Not Designer … the real mom life. I have to be honest, I have never been too in to self care, health and wellness until lil’ miss Adaline came about. Grey hair, baggy eyes, dark circles and dried skin have never really been a concern until welllllll … love you baby A, but right about the time she arrived. Working a full time job while still coming home and taking care of her for 4-6 hours each week day has brought about more dark circles and fine lines than I could ever imagine. Im not sure what sleeping in till 6am is like. Who knows if I ever will see that again. Maybe when she’s a teen? Only one can hope. All I know is that my baggy eyes don’t lie, and girl … these bags sure as hell are not designer. “MOMLIFE” is stamped on my forhead for all to be seen, and it’s time to take action. The past month I have really made the EFFORT to put a little more thought in to myself. It has been baby, baby, baby for a year and I have lost track on my own self care. Now that she […]

Successful Girls Night: 5 Beauty Tips This post is part of a paid Simply stylist and Dove blogging program. The opinions and ideas expressed here are my own. A successful girl’s night out is never complete with out the prep. It sets the tone and mood for the night and the adventures to be had. I teamed up with 4 amazing LA blogger babes to share with you 5 beauty tips and tricks to start your night. Of course to share our tips we had to plan a girl’s night out to put them to the test. We started our evening with drinks and light bites at Laurel Hardware on Santa Monica followed by a round of laughter at the Laugh Factory. We can all agree the most important tip to share is never to leave the house with out your antiperspirant, especially when headed to a comedy show! We put our Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant to the test that night and it did not fail us. It goes on instantly dry with 48-hour protection keeping us feeling fresh and smelling clean all night long. Plus it provides added skincare benefits with its 1/4 moisturizing formula. Check out the rest of our tips for a successful girl’s night out and shop […]

Tips from Sephora Pro MakeUp Artist Helen Phillips

We love beauty products as much as the next girl but sometimes we just feel lost when it comes to picking out the right moisturizer or foundation. There are so many choices out there that claim to do it all, so how would you know what actually does what it says? We decided to stop guessing and went straight to the source to get the answers. We tracked down our long time friend and Sephora Pro Makeup Artist, Helen Phillips, and asked her a few questions about what products she loves and how in just a few short years she is at the top of her industry. 1. Becoming a Sephora Pro MakeUp artist must be difficult to achieve, can you tell us what the process is like and how long it took you to get to where you are now? Every two years Sephora hosted an artistry competition where you could try-out to be on the Sephora PRO Team, Sephora’s top makeup artists selected for their skill, creativity, and ability to inspire through education. Of my 5 years with Sephora, I’m proud to say that I’ve tried out for the team and made it all three times! This past […]
