Before I got engaged, I knew changing up my routine would be necessary & I wanted to look my best, but at the same time while you’re budgeting, emailing, planning, coordinating you ALSO have do everything I can to make sure my skin is GLOWING and blemish free on wedding day? It began to become a little overwhelming.
That’s why, along with my girl Ali Patek (@aestheticnurseali) and SkinSpirit, I'm sharing everything we did to prep my skin for wedding day. I planned my wedding in plenty of time a year and a half, but we didn’t really kick things in to high gear until 6 months before
i’ve talked to you guys about my favorite new haircare a few months ago and I want to go in to a bit more detail of why out of all the products i the world i’ve been choosing prose.
the ingredients they use are highly researched and blended specifically to YOUR hair needs. Meaning, the products shipped to you fully depend on the survey you fill out which is a full consultation asking everything about your hair (texture, type), where you live & what you’re looking to achieve with the formula. From there, the suggested products are made JUST FOR YOU with your name on them.
it’s the absolute perfect time to stock up on your beauty needs. rarely do beauty products go on sale, but until this saturday, ulta has 20% off your entire purchase. ulta has been my go to lately, especially because i’ve discovered more affordable products there this year. i mean $8 for blush and setting powder is saving me so much money. let’s get in to my faves from ulta (while you can still get them on sale)
Ok y’all I’ve been using my Avon Anew Clinical Unlimited Lash products for twelve weeks now and I can’t wait for you guys to try them out. After three months of really putting the products to the test and making sure it has my stamp of approval, I can tell you my eyelashes have gotten even thicker-looking than even the progress in my previous post (here). I’m totally onboard with their amazing, clean products after my full trial and cannot wait for you to try Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes + Avon True Color Love at 1st Lash Mascara and see your own personal lash progress.
ok, I’m completely obsessed. a hair regimen that’s completely customized to YOUR hair, why didn’t i think of that?! Prose has you hop online to take a quiz and with those results they customize hair products specifically for you based on your hair type, goals and lifestyle. not only do they create products that work for your particular hair type, but they use the cleanest ingredients (no parabens, sulfates, GMOs, etc.). that is some next level ish!
Let’s talk about LASHES. I recently started using Avon Anew Clinical Unlimited Lashes Serum to boost my lashes.
I want my lashes to be darker (mine are naturally dark blonde), longer and thicker. My goal is to walk out of the house without mascara. I’ve had friends try serums before & when I discovered Avon’s new serum I knew I needed to try it.
there's nothing more sexy than showing a little shoulder, am i right? over the last few years i've found a ton of off the shoulder tops that i absolutely love. they are perfect for date nights, fun parties and bbq's. they are a little more dressy than your average tee, but casual enough to wear day-to-day. i have a full blown collection at this point & i wanted to share with you some of my absolute favorites, but before i do, here are a few tips on how to style them.

Have you ever seen someone's hair and just been in awe by how perfect it looks. Full, voluminous & sexy. I know I have always been obsessed with hair since I was a kid, wondering what techniques and products people used to make their hair look so fab. Well I'm about to share a few of my tricks with you to get nice full undone and messy waves.
Bye bye Summer sun spots, it's Fall! I researched the best stuff and made sure to pick up my favorite Dr. Dennis Gross products. This C+ collagen deep cream with Vitamin C & collagen amino acids helps brighten, hydrate and smooth your complexion. Sign me up! I've talked a ton about getting Melasma (sun spots) on my face from taking birth control. I've found that lightening products have been a godsend and have helped diminish these spots.
Any of you ladies out there feel like you have uneven skin? Last year I started noticing some of my freckles starting looking like brown spots 😫 I immediately started researching and found out it was melasma (brown spots on your face caused by a hormonal imbalance).
It's 2017, so I'm sure your hair dresser has told you by now it isn't good to wash your hair everyday. Thank you dry shampoo!! When you wash your hair you wash away most of your hairs natural oils. Those oils help your hair stay hydrated. strong and helps your hair grow. However, when you do wash your hair (you should every 2-3 days) be sure to use amazing products that cleanse your hair, but don't strip your hair.
I am the type of girl who loves having my hair done, but at the same time not too done. I actually really enjoy styling my (and my friends) hair and don't mind spending the time doing research on products and styles that will best suit me. Over the years I have tried TONS of products for styling. Creams, mousses, sprays, ,oils, you name it! I have a list that I would call my top favorites, but my everyday go-to's are these three products. They give me the best tousled and undone curls that I know will always look good.
I try new makeup all the time! I really enjoy testing out new products and finding the "winners". However, not all products are blog worthy. These items are ones I've been using for years and I have re-bought them time and time again. They are the products I most highly recommend.
Firstly, get your head out of the gutter! We are talking about the best nude lipsticks here. There are SO many amazing lip colors out right now and I want to share two of my most recent discoveries.
I love me some bling! I am also super picky about the kind of jewelry I wear. I've found that I mostly love small, dainty and yet clean looking jewelry.
I always love having small products with me whether I'm traveling or just headed out for a full day. These products are my favorites and since there are SO many product out there I want to let you know why these ones are my go-to's.
If you have green eyes like me you may or may not know what eyeshadows make your eyes "pop". Purple is usually the suggested color, but to be honest I just don't love...
Let's face it, we ALL have a routine. Some may spend less & others spend more, but everyone spends on maintenance. It's usually fun, we enjoy the pampering, and we love to feel great about ourselves. However, it can get super pricey.
