I love to change up some of my makeup each season and I usually first start with my lip colors. When spring arrives, I want to wear a bit more color and begin reaching for lip shades that are more colorful and vibrant than in the fall or winter. I gravitate towards pink shades, sheer reds and some punchy corals. As I have gotten older, I realize that brighter lip colors look a bit better on me than more neutral shades do.

I am not someone who has a signature scent or splurges too often on perfume.

Now that I've reached my mid 40's, I am beginning to pivot my skincare routine a bit to really target the changes in my skin. I've always been into skincare but as we age, our skin requires different things and a different approach. Focusing on ingredients that are designed to give my skin what it needs as it goes through the natural aging process. I am grateful to even have the opportunity to age and want to give my skin all the best that I can so it can be healthy and strong. That is why I resonated so much

I am a neutrals gal through and through but there is something about Spring that makes me want to wear ALL the color. LOL I also love matching sets and athleisure outfits that are comfy yet still look chic and polished. I love putting outfits together when I'm getting dressed to go somewhere but when I need to run errands or not think about what I'm wearing, I will always gravitate towards matching sets or pieces that easily can be styled together with little to no thinking.
