Here are many products I currently use or have used on my skin and body. Some I get when they are on sale like the ion I purchase at Sally’s when it’s buy 1 get one free deals which doesn’t happen often. And then the Redken I’ve had a harder time finding a good deal on that. The La Roche skin care I order from Amazon and Target. I love when Target has their deals on skin care and that’s when I try to stock up.

Just like the makeup products, I had no idea how many harmful ingredients there were in ALL of my haircare products. My hair has gotten so much softer, longer, and healthier every since I completely switched to these options.

Here, I have shared my four step skincare routine that helped me battle against my acne as a teenager!

I’ve been doing makeup since 2016 and I’ve really learned along the way what works for me and what doesn’t! I also started branching off into cosplay makeup back in 2020 so I’ve really learned what products to use for those more dramatic looks! I’ve had an IPSY subscription multiple times and that’s really helped me expand my horizons into figuring out better makeup suited for my skin type and what colors look best. I have combination skin and fine lines due to aging so I use a mixture of hydrating and powder products to help keep my skin looking like one blank canvas. I also learned what eyeshadows are more pigmented than others and just which ones I still reach for after all this time. You’ll definitely see I play favorites but I’m always down to rec a newcomer I enjoy!

Just sharing what spoke to me recently in my little beauty experiment.

These are my go-to summer perfumes that hold up in the heat and won’t overwhelm anyone in a shared office space. Whether you’re commuting under the sun or working from a cozy AC-cooled cubicle, these scents are light, wearable, and still bring a summery vibe. I’ve organized them into categories depending on your summer mood and preferences: 🌊 Salty Skin – Think beachy breezes, skin-warmed musk, and the feeling of salt lingering on your skin after a swim. 🧴 Sunkissed – Creamy, nostalgic blends that smell like SPF, coconut lotion, or sun-warmed skin. 💧 Fresh & Airy – Crisp, clean, shower-fresh fragrances that cut through the heat without being harsh or overly soapy. 🍋 Zesty Citrus – Zesty and juicy picks that feel like an instant mood boost and keep you feeling energized throughout the day. 🪵 Soft Woods - Light, smooth woods with a clean edge — think cedar, sandalwood, or ISO E Super in sheer, polished blends. Each one is office-appropriate: no loud sillage, just subtle, close-to-skin magic that feels personal and polished.

A dry skin girl who's craving a medium coverage , everyday glam? This is the perfect list for you!

These are my favorites of all the makeup I’ve tried over the years as someone who has combo but mostly dry skin

This is for the blondes committed to the gang life. Not the “honey blonde for fall” girls. I’m talking ice white, almost silver, your stylist starts sweating and calling it the danger zone blonde. The blonde they swear takes 7 years, 14 appointments, and a blood sacrifice to achieve. Getting this shade is only the initiation. Keeping the yellow away is a full-time criminal enterprise. Purple shampoo, bond repair, masks, toner — this blonde lifestyle is blood in blood out. These are the exact products I use to keep my blonde icy, bright, expensive-looking, and disrespectfully white. If you know, you know. 💋 gang gang

These products make me feel genuinely confident, radiant, and comfortable in my own skin. This is a list of recommendations centered on my own personal preference.

For my girlies who are all about having glass skin! These are the products i love and can’t live without.

Being pretty at 50-something with these great products!

I started to really look into the ingredients of all of the products I was using on a daily basis a few months ago. It is terrifying to see all of the potentially toxic and proven-to-be toxic chemicals in our everyday products. I have seen loved one's suffer from disease, cancer, fertility problems and hormonal problems…all things that these toxic chemicals can potentially lead to. I decided it was time to gain control over what I was being exposed to. We can never be fully non-toxic, but I believe being mindful of ingredients can significantly lower the amount of toxins we are exposed to daily. It's not always easy, but small steps can make a big difference long term. After research, I decided to share some of the swaps I have made so far. I use the Yuka App to review products that I buy.

I don’t wear makeup every day, but when I do wear it, I am wearing these products! Sometimes I switch out the tinted moisturizer for the foundation depending on my mood (or how much time I have 🤣), but the other products stay the same. I was a biggggg full-glam makeup girlie from about 2015-2021, but I got tired of taking 45 minutes to get ready and it honestly wasn’t realistic anymore. Since becoming a mom, the goal has been to get my makeup done in 15 minutes or less! These are the products that help me achieve that.

Always loved The Body Shop — ethical, sustainable, and full of heart. 💚 Their natural, cruelty-free products not only work beautifully but also empower women and support fair trade communities. Beauty that truly gives back. 🌸

Side by side mascara comparisons, drug store vs high quality! All of these I have tried and those are all amazing mascaras!
