I've been a long time Tatcha fan and loyalist for nearly 10 years. They were one of the first brands I ever reached out to when I started my blog so I will always have a special place in my heart for them. At that time, there was just the enzyme powders which was not a product many brands were making so it really set them apart. Since then I have tried so many of their new launches and fallen in love with so many of the formulations. The Tatcha Water Cream is a staple in their line and for

Since we are fully into winter I thought it was a good time to share an updated skincare routine and all the products I am using for morning and evening. Many things have stayed the same, while others have changed with the slightly colder weather. I've been testing out some new products and fallen in love so I will share exactly what I'm using step by step! My Current Skincare Routine My Morning Routine Cleanse I actually don’t use a cleanser in the morning anymore and just simply splash some cold water on my face before applying my skincare products.

I've always been someone who loved Valentine's Day. Winter is cold and can be a tad depressing, so any fun holiday to look forward to is a great idea to me. And I can show love to people in my life that are important? Sign me up! Valentine's Day can be about celebrating with your friends, significant other, family, kids, pets, etc - anyone who you love and want to spend your time with. It doesn't matter if you go out or stay home, it's about carving out the time to slow down and enjoy those who bring you joy.

I have been a makeup lover for nearly half of my life and still love putting it on nearly every single day. I first started really getting into makeup in my early 20's and then worked in the makeup industry for the next 10+ years before starting my blog 13 years ago. Putting on makeup everyday is less about feeling like I have to and more about the ritual of it and how enjoyable I find it to be. I love how it's a way to enhance your best features while making you look presentable and put together. Makeup is

I've been a loyal fan to the Mother Science brand ever since first trying their Molecular Hero Serum. They sent it to me in a press mailing and to be honest, it took me months to try because I like to ensure I properly test new skincare products for an appropriate amount of time. I like to remove any similar products from my routine and add the new item in and use it consistently for at least 2-3 months before assessing the results. Once I finally gave it a try, I loved the formula and how it made my skin

Everything I Read - January 2025 1. Under the Whispering Door I am a huge lover of TJ Klune books but sadly this one was not a favorite. It was a tad hard to follow and I got confused with many of the characters. Wallace is a successful lawyer who passes away and ends up at Charon's Crossing - a stop between death and the after life. He is confused as to how he can cross over and is forced to look back at his life and reevaluate his time spent living. While the concept of the book seemed really

A cult classic. One of the best masks you will try. Delivers on its results. These are usually some of the things I will say to my friends and readers when I'm talking about the Clarins V-Wrap Instant Depuffing Face Mask. To be honest, it took me a long time to try this even though I am user of Clarins products for many years. It was always on my radar but I never got around to using it until last year. I'm like wow. Wow. Wow. That was my reaction afterwards! LOL It truly is a magic mask! Clarins is

I'm still loving wide leg denim and this pair is currently on my radar! I love the classic shape and the dark wash is perfect. 2. These brown suede ankle boots are absolutely stunning!

I love a simple statement necklace that you can wear alone and this coin necklace is gorgeous. 4.

Patrick Ta Beauty has steadily grown in popularity over the past few years and as someone who owns quite a few of his products, I can definitely see why! Patrick Ta himself is a celebrity  makeup artist known for his glowy glam looks on numerous celebrities and influencers over the years. He finally started his own makeup line a few years ago and it's quickly garnered a very loyal following. His products have been hit or miss for me. There are some products like his Plumping Lip Glosses that I really love, while I was slightly disappointed in the Patrick
