Are you wanting to get in on the soap nails trend at home? I've curated the best basic nail polishes to get you started! I bet you already have some of these well-loved colors. This trend is all about soft and neutral pinks, whites, and beiges with a super shiny finish. This is sort of like the no-makeup-makeup look, but for your nails! Many of these polishes can do double-duty for a French mani. I'm also including the supplies that you need for a successful manicure.

Over the years I have created a manicure routine that not only allows your nail polish to last for 7 days, but makes it look professionally applied. These are all of the tools that I use to get the job done. Of course, proper care and maintenance is needed during the week to get the most out of your manicure.

I'm 30+ with fine lines, acne, and combination oily skin. This is my full daytime/daily skincare routine. Everything here stops oil production, hydrates, and plumps. You can do this routine with or without makeup and everything will layer well!

These are all of the products in my nighttime skincare routine! This routine is designed for 30+ skin that is oily, acne prone, and combination with fine lines. I don't use all of these products on the same day to ensure that the skin's barrier is protected and not over-stressed. On my blog I share a daily calendar breakdown of how I use each item, and in what order. Beyond these, I also facail steam twice per week, and dermaplane (oilplane) bi-weekly.

In my decade of testing and reviewing makeup, I've tried most of what Physicians Formula has to offer. I've curated this “best of” list, which contains my favorites and most used products. I know there is chatter going around on “does this brand have anything worthwhile” and the answer is YES! Get ready to see what I reach for the most.

I have fine, thin, naturally frizzy hair that doesn't like to hold a curl. I generally keep my hair just below my shoulders. I've tested many heatless curling tools over the years, and I've perfected what works to share with you. I also have supplies that will not weigh down your hair, make tangly, or anything else that we don't like. Most of these will work overnight because they are super soft, or, you can easily put your hair on top of your head.

Over the years I have stopped buying costume jewelry, investing in pieces that will last for years. I put a focus on gold filled and gold over stainless steel. I tend to only buy plated for earrings. Everything in this collection represents my most worn pieces that are still available today. You will see my wearing these items on the blog and social media! I'm personally into gold.
