It's always this time of year where I pursue a "less is more" approach to my summer beauty routine. I try to find products that give me breathable coverage, dewy skin, and of course, double as my SPF. But there's more to summer beauty than just SPF — and if we're being honest, we should be wearing it year-round, right? ...
It goes without saying that no matter what type of skin you have, we all want it to feel hydrated, smooth and radiant. If you've kept up with "Beauty Talk", you know my struggle with hormonal acne and uneven skin tone has been going on for quite some time. But since going to my dermatologist, I've learned to simplify my routine and focus on the ingredients I'm using on my skin. ...
A few months ago I went to a local popup in Dallas focusing on clean beauty. As someone who has been striving to make improvements in her beauty and skincare routine, this was a real treat for me! When I was perusing the shelves of various products, I came across Necessaire — a brand I have seen trending all over social media but hadn't been able to try myself. ...
It's been 2 weeks since we've been home with baby George and I'm constantly asking myself what life was before this little one. While it has been a big adjustment, I don't think we've ever been happier.
I know many of you have requested a "hospital bag" blog post and it's still a question that continues to pop up in my inbox. The reason I didn't share this before baby was because I wanted to wait and see what we actually used and what we could have left at home. You guys know I am a minimalist when it comes to packing and I wanted to keep it that way for the hospital. ...
Since finding out I was pregnant last October, I knew I needed to make some changes in my skincare routine. And while I love getting to test new things, I'm pretty loyal to my skincare products. But when I started talking with my doctor and researching on my own, I learned many of them were not considered "pregnancy safe" due to higher amounts of Vitamin A or Salicylic Acid.
Thankfully my doctor and nurses were very kind and generous with their time and let me send them product labels of anything I was questioning. Since each pregnancy is different, I would recommend asking your doctor and nurses before trying anything new. ...
We've all heard that a detox can be a great way to restart your body, but have you ever tried a hair detox? If you are someone who uses dry shampoo, colors your hair or wants to extend your blowout, this might be something worth exploring. ...

You guys know I swear by double cleansing. Ever since my dermatologist recommended it to me a couple of years ago, I've been loyal to this Japanese skincare regimen.
I broke it down a few months ago in this blog post and have mentioned it a few times in our newsletter, but I wanted to share a more detailed update on HOW to double cleanse. ...
It's no secret I love a nude lip. It's my go-to lip color for every day and something I feel the most comfortable in. However, finding the right shade can be a bit tricky. I'm a firm believer that if you have one you love, it can be the most versatile color in your makeup bag. Wear it alone or pair with a bolder color and you can easily create multiple looks.
I'm often showing different swatches on neutral lipsticks on here or my Instagram Stories, but lately, I've been seeing more questions pop up asking about my holy grail nude lipsticks. You know, the ones that never leave my purse or I keep purchasing over and over again because they are in fact, just that good.
Below I've sourced my top recommendations and a little tip I picked up over the years to help give you that "perfect pout". I swear, every time I do this, people ask if I got my lips done. For the record, I haven't, but it makes me feel good to know my lips look full. ...
Patio weather is almost officially here and like many of you, I am welcoming it with open arms. And though I am eager for spring temps to officially make their way to Dallas (hello maxi dresses and skirts), it's been a minute since my legs have seen the sun. ...
