Give Me All The Glow- Winter Skincare + Makeup Glow Getters

Winter Beauty Glow

Ahh, that glow that us beauty and makeup lovers just looove to talk about. It’s a little harder to come by during winter, isn’t it? My skin notoriously hates cold temperatures and dry air and… well, winter altogether. I personally don’t mind it too much, but I gotta say that things often seem much more effortless and simple during warmer parts of the year. You spend more time out in the fresh air, you move more, you reach for fresh…

There’s just something timeless, simple and effortless about my favorite bunch over here. I just mentioned in this post that I’m taking a break from gel manicures, so I’m bringing back my most loved regular and “UV-lamp-free” gel polishes back into the rotation.

Foolproof Beauty

Foolproof Beauty

As much as I enjoy trying out new makeup products, there’s a… well, a bit more than just a “handful” of products that I always re-purchase and reach for when I want to use something I know will work. A foolproof bunch, if you will. The thing about trying out and testing new products is that they don’t always work as good as you hoped, or it takes a while to figure out how to make them work for you.…
