In case you missed it, I announced the launch of my new brand, THIS Beauty, last week. It came with so many emotions, so many things to do, and so much gratitude that it's taken me until now to write a blog post about it. I developed THIS for this community, so it only makes sense to share the story here. ...

My Favorite $8 Mascara
Admittedly, I tend to buy pricey cosmetics. You know I can't pass up a Sephora run. But I have found an $8 drugstore mascara that honestly works better than the expensive stuff. Trust me when I tell you I've tried many (many) brands and this is the one I keep going back to. ...
My #1 Tip for Glowy Foundation
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. ...

What’s In My Makeup Bag For Summer
Let's talk summer beauty. Honestly, I switch things up pretty drastically when it comes to makeup during summer vs. winter because my needs are different. Also, like most of us, I like to go with something lighter in the summer months - especially if I'm going to be outside on a hot day...which is often in Texas. ...

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.
