Beauty

But first, skin care!

I love to look my very best at all times. I love having my nails done, hair done and even go the extra mile to always look put together to run errands, to go to the pool, yoga class and even to go grocery shop. Looking fly at all times makes me feel like a million bucks. But, you know one thing that can quickly put a damper in my parade and ruin it all for me? Dry, flat, pale, dull and patchy skin! Pimples on my face, dark under eyes and blemishes can really mess everything up for me. Everyone makes fun of me because my morning and night skin care routine can easily take me 10 minutes. I just love to take the time and care for my skin. I love the feeling of getting out of the shower and applying toner, serum, eye cream and the list can go on forever… being a daughter of a super model, my mom always encouraged my sisters and I to take care of our skin. (Legit! My mom earned her living as a full time model  in her younger days… before she decided to give it all up to have kids… 5 that is!)  Something she told us all the time was that aging is a fact of life, but looking your age is not. Yes, sounds a little vain, but it’s the truth. It’s never too early to take care of skin and I’m forever grateful for her teaching me that at such a young age. She always told us to love our skin because beautiful skin doesn’t come from makeup. If your skin is looking sad, your makeup will too. Read More…

Hey all!

You know those days that you just don’t feel like putting make up on, but want to feel put together? Well I have those days very often, especially to go to work. I take a ton of pictures daily, either for the blog or for the boutique, so looking put together is a MUST. For those days I like to focus on my skin, making sure it looks healthy and very glowy. Once I get the skin looking fabulous, I focus on the eyes and the lips. I add a simple winged eyeliner and bold lips. This is such an easy makeup look andgets all the compliments. Truth be told, I wasn’t good at doing a winged eyeliner, that is, until I met my match made in heaven – The Clarins 3 Dot liner. Oh Em Gee you guys! Read More…

Hello there, friends!

Today’s post is all about taming the mane and giving some major TLC to the first thing people see when they you, your hair! Having healthy hair is really important because, let’s be honest, messy hair is cute, but there’s no excuse for unhealthy hair. With all the products out there and the best invention yet, the dry shampoo, dirty hair is, as Fergie says, so 2000 and late. Today I’m getting a little intimate and taking you to the shower with me to show you my hair routine. I wash my hair two times a week, and use the Hair Food Dry Shampoo in between washes, especially because I work out.

Here’s what a typical wash my hair day looks like in my home. I try to wash it in the morning, so I have plenty of time to let it air dry. I jump in the shower, wash with Hair Food Color Protect Shampoo twice and once with the Hair Food Color Protect Conditioner. I leave the conditioner in my hair for a few minutes and take my time shaving and then I rinse. Once I get out of the shower, I towel-dry my hair, apply some leave in conditioner and make myself a yummy tea. I can either open my laptop and start working or I can just enjoy some “me” alone time and cuddle with Penelope. I watch TV and moisturize, do some face masks and so on! Why do I choose Hair Food for my shampoo and conditioner? Well, because it is super extensions and keratin treatment friendly, and I currently have both. The Hair Food Color Protect products smell amazing and protect color treated hair. They are sulfate free, parabens free, mineral oil free, dye free and gluten free. What else can you possibly want from a shampoo/conditioner, right?

I filmed a fun little video for you guys! Hope you like it.
