As hectic as life gets, I will always be one to give myself the necessary “me time” that we all deserve. There are days where I truly feel run-ragged. I’ll wake up at five am to get a workout in but somehow don’t get to take a shower until 3 pm, and that’s just before I’ll have to run...
If you’re a regular gym-goer, you know that sometimes you’ll need to run errands or go somewhere around people while still sporting your sweaty gym clothes. While I don’t mind hitting the gas station up looking like a hot mess, I DO mind when I will be wandering the aisle of Target and being paranoid I smell like a...
There are so many skincare products out there geared for different concerns but if there is one thing I’ve learned is that Sunscreen really is for everyone. Not only does it lower our risk for skin cancer, but it also has aesthetic benefits like preventing sun damage, wrinkles, and sunspots. Because I like to keep things simple, I lean...
First Aid Beauty made its way into my skincare routine a couple of years ago after a fellow blogger gifted me with some of their products. I will always remember feeling a difference in my skin after trying their cleanser and thinking, WOW, I’ve got to look into this brand more. And here we are, two years later and...
I’ve always had some type of balm handy since becoming a mom -- it was a necessary item for both my daughter and I at different times for different reasons, but I’ve never relied on them as much as I have in the past year with my move to the desert. In California, I would occasionally use them for...
It happens to all of us (I think), the weather changes, you experiment with a bunch of new skincare products, you pick at your face, or use a new detergent and your skin goes out of whack. Tight, dry, itchy or red skin is no fun, so I make sure to keep a slew of products the soothe the...
Fall and Winter bring cooler weather for most of us which usually leads to dry hands and cuticles. And with my heavy workout routines, my hands get double destroyed. Without proper care, my hands literally HURT to hold the steering wheel and I catch myself looking at my palms and cuticles wincing at the burning I feel. To nip...
I feel like since I’ve moved to Arizona my skin has gone through an array of changes just trying to adapt to the change in temperature and humidity. I’ve never minded visits to the desert in the past because it usually meant great hair days but I don’t really remember what I did for makeup or skincare since I’d...
I was first introduced to the German-born skincare company, Babor when I tried their serum ampoules. I can’t think of any other brand that I’ve tried that store their concentrated serums in completely sealed glass ampoules that you need to break open to use. I was immediately intrigued by its luxe and straight-out-of-a-laboratory design. I always felt so fancy...
