About Me

I started Haute Beauty Guide in 2008 as a way to stay in touch with my skincare clients between appointments. At first, I only covered skincare but HBG grew with me as my life evolved— from traveling around the world, heading back to college after taking a long break, buying our first home, to getting my first gray hair! Monterey is my home and I take the lifestyle here to heart.

You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reac You my sweet girl dream BIG nothing is out of reach. 

I’m not @kamalaharris biggest fan but watching her take the oath of office while hold I have my two-year-old little girl I realize just how big her future dreams can be. So many emotions were brought up today. My grandmother immigrated here 66 years ago after she was thrown out of her family for constantly dreaming too big. She told me everyday I could be anything I wanted.  Grandma was adamant that I studied what I wanted, travel where I wanted and be what I want. She made that possible for me. 

I wish she could see the first woman Vice President sworn in today.

We all know my love for @coola SPF but let's talk We all know my love for @coola SPF but let's talk about their new skincare line! #presssample

Glowing Greens Detoxifying Facial Cleansing Gel - Antioxidant-rich Seaweed helps to gently dissolve away skin impurities and toxins while replenishing skin’s hydration. Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free. I used this as a morning cleanse or second cleanse at night. 

Skin Renewal Serum -  A nutrient dense serum perfect for renewal of the skin.  An all in one style serum packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin c, anti-oxidants and Moringa oil.  I used this am and pm to help with hydration levels. 
 I found my skin was plump and retained moisture all night.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

The Great Barrier Reef Cream - My favorite of the bunch.  The texture is light and creamy.  It absorbs quickly.  California Sea Kelp Actives, rich in essential nutrients and polyphenols, fortifies and hydrates skin’s barrier.  This is a gorgeous day cream.  It paired well with my SPF and foundation without any piling or caking.  Vegan, Gluten Free, Cruelty Free.

Available now @Nordstrom and @Revolve.  Shop the link in my bio.  Press samples.  All opinions are my own.  @COOLA #COOLA  #COOLASkincare
