When I met Austin 10 years ago, I was in college and working part-time at a beauty salon. I worked there off and on while I was in school and then summers when I was teaching. It was a dream job for someone who loved learning about products and getting to help clients with beauty and haircare. ...
I've always been proactive about taking care of my hair. Whether that's through supplements and collagen or the styling products I use — I am all about making healthy habits to keep my hair looking its best. ...
One of my most-asked beauty questions around this time of year is always if it really is necessary to change your skincare routine when transitioning from summer to fall/winter temperatures. At face value, I can see how it might seem unnecessary, but as someone with sensitive and acne-prone skin, I absolutely do. ...
Alright, you guys, this is a post I've been meaning to write for a while now and I'm happy to finally launch. Whenever I share my makeup drawers, vanity, or pantry, I get some questions about what I use to organize. Truth be told, we're not organized 24/7 (honestly who is?) but for the most part, I like to keep things tidy. For us, it's all about getting products that make organizing easier aka having a spot for everything. ...
When my dermatologist recommended this at-home facial, I knew it was going to be good. I love all things skin and beauty related, which probably explains why I'm always asking a ton of questions when I talk to her (yes, I'm that annoying client). I also follow several dermatologists and estheticians on Instagram — I love accounts that teach me how to care for my skin. ...
If you want to prolong your blowout, this is the trick to keep your hair looking fresh. Because of this hack, I am down to washing my hair once (maybe twice) a week. Which is honestly a pretty big accomplishment for me. I have thick hair and ever since having George, it's been more oily at the roots. Weird, right?
I have to use a dry shampoo that gives me a powdery white finish and a little grit. Trust me, the white powder will go away if you follow these steps. ...
Since my skin has recently cleared up, I've been taking advantage of the "no makeup" makeup look. Which is honestly a misleading term, because you definitely wear makeup, just not a full face. These products will get the job done if you want a little bit of color, SPF, bold brows and plump lips. ...
I love the look of messy, loose curls. I often get asked how I curl my hair since I cut it (here's how I styled it when it was longer) and figured the easiest way to show you would be through a video. I tried to be specific and detailed since I share a few tips (and things to avoid) if you are trying to achieve that piecey, "undone" curl hairstyle. ...
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now officially open to Influencer Nordy Club cardholders and today I'm sharing my top Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 beauty exclusives. Every year, one of my most popular requests is to review the selections from Beauty. I've already shared my clothing picks last week (did you see the boyfriend blazer...cute right?).
Each item I listed below is something I have personally tried and currently use on a regular basis. This is a great time to stock up on those brands that you love and use while they are on sale. ...
As I've gotten further into my 30s, my obsession with beauty has taken a hard turn into all things skincare. OK so I'm still obsessed with makeup and hair, but I will say I spend more time and money on my skincare these days. I'd much rather get my skin right and then need to wear less makeup to feel confident. Plus, since having George, let's just say the time I can dedicate to makeup routines has decreased significantly. ...
