It's no secret I want glowy, hydrated skin. Aside from skincare (which is most important IMO) the best way to achieve glowy skin is when you mix foundation with a liquid highlighter. I love the Valentino Beauty V-Lighter in Rosa for that glowy foundation look and I knew I had to test it out when I saw it had over 2.4K reviews. ...
How To: Bent Curls Hair Tutorial
I have really enjoyed having my hair shorter. It's honestly so much easier to style and less to manage. And as a mom of two little boys, I am all about the easy-button these days. One hairstyle that I have been particularly gravitating towards is the bent curls look. Or as my hairdresser calls it "fettuccine noodles". It's my favorite way to style my hair and it looks really good on Day 2, which means less work for me. Win-win.
I've been using the Limited Edition Holiday Gold 1" Styler to achieve this look. This styler can be used to flat iron, curl or create waves. Think of it as an all-in-one type of tool for heat styling. The ghd Gold Styler utilizes dual-zone technology for premium performance so you only need to do one pass through your hair. It has two next-generation heat sensors, one across each plate, to control the optimum styler temperature of 365ºF constantly and evenly from root to tips making it easy to curl or straighten hair. I got it at Nordstrom and it would make the perfect gift for the beauty lover.

Easy Summer Makeup for Glowy Skin
Summer for me usually means less makeup, more bronzer and lots of SPF. And now that life in the newborn and toddler stage are both in full swing, I don't have quite as much time for getting ready like before. It's key for me to find products that work well and won't melt off my face (like this all-in-one face palette or tinted BB Cream with SPF from Nordstrom)
I've found a routine that works great for me and leaves me with that glowy summer skin that I desperately want to achieve. This look is breathable, has SPF and still gives you a little coverage even without an actual foundation. Need I say more? ...

Now that I've shared the pregnancy, I'm excited (and relieved!) to start sharing more outfits. Because TBH, it's been hard to hide, especially this time around!
