I have been plagued with not the most cooperative skin since high school and have since then been looking for what would be the magic cure to allow my skin to shine through nice and clear. Pretty much all spring/summer long I have clear skin that isn’t very oily or dry, while late Fall and Winter long I am hit with very dry and in some spots oily skin that tends to break out. Over the years I have tried almost all topical applications as well as accutane, antibiotics, and laser […] Continue reading →

With the ridiculously high temperatures we have been having lately I think it may be about time to break out the nautical inspiration. Just in case you happen to find yourself on the side of a sailboat, needing to look effortlessly fashionable and camera ready, you should probably be wearing this. If you are invited to a yacht club party you can rock this. You can paint your nails like this. You can lounge on the beach, looking like a perfectly put together pinup girl from the 20s in this.

Instead of re-capping everything that happened this weekend I thought that it would be fun if I enlisted a new series of posts called “My Weekend Via Instagram”. That way you guys can get a sneak peek into my weekend without me boring you away with all the countless details.

Also if you have a iphone find me on instagram, my id […] Continue reading →

Time for another What I Am Loving Now Post! This time we are going to focus entirely on Makeup. Since I recently wrote about how 95% of everything I put on my skin comes from a mostly natural line of products, I thought it would be great to give you guys an up close and personal look into my makeup bag so that you can see exactly what products I am talking about and why I love and choose to buy them. Some of these products are new finds while others I have been using for years and keep […] Continue reading →

Be Natural. It seems like almost everyone now a day is trying their best to “be natural”. Whether it is with the food you eat, the clothes you wear, the makeup you use, it seems like the “be natural” trend has taken off and doesn’t show any signs of really slowing down. But trying to be natural on a day-to-day basis can actually be pretty daunting, not to mention it can take a serious toll on your wallet.

I am so excited that it looks like we are going to be having a beautiful and somewhat warm Easter weekend! While the temperatures may not be flying into the 80′s like they were a few weeks ago, I will gladly take a nice 65-70 degree sunny day. As long as I can pull out one of my Spring skirts or dresses and thrown on a light cardigan I will be happy. But what makes the perfect Easter outfit? Remember it should be Grandma and Church appropriate, but that doesn’t mean it […] Continue reading →

Less is more. This is a phrase that as I have gotten older I have grown to have a much better understanding of, but sometimes it can still be hard to do. It’s the phrase that all of our moms uttered to us at one point or another regarding a specific makeup or wardrobe choice…most likely this was followed up by a seriously serious eye role on our behalf. I was recently reminded of this phrase and my own fashion mishaps when I was in the dressing room the other day. While I was […] Continue reading →

Well it’s that time of year again. The time of year when my skin decides to go crazy by both getting super dry and breaking out. While I am still in the process of figuring out exactly what to do to control and prevent breakouts this time of year, I have come up with an amazing sugar body scrub that both intensely nourishes and gently scrubs away any dry skin. Even my younger sister who has struggled with really sensitive skin said that this scrub worked amazingly well in getting rid […] Continue reading →
