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.

We spent the whole day in the backyard. Racing, hu We spent the whole day in the backyard. Racing, hunting eggs, doing a bit of gardening and checking sprinklers and now a nap. So happy for the warmer weather!

Art day at the office. Olivia loves to paint but Art day at the office. 

Olivia loves to paint but I don’t love cleaning up the mess. 🤣

The Easter bunny brought us this @chuckleandroar Doodle Mat! It uses water to create fun paintings and comes with stamps, refillable paint brushes and markers!  So fun! 

I posted the swipe up link in stories so you can easily find it @target

It is 80 degrees today! I’m so ready for Spring It is 80 degrees today!  I’m so ready for Spring and Summer. 

Switched up all my skincare this morning to get ready for warmer weather.  After months of hearing about the @motherdirt AO+ Restorative Mist from one of my skincare groups I finally added it into my routine.  OBSESSED!!! 

AO+ Restorative Mist offers a revolutionary way to repair, restore and rebalance the skin microbiome. It reveals glowing, healthier-looking skin by restoring an essential component, Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria, to your skin microbiome that has been scrubbed and stripped away by harsh chemicals in traditional skincare products.  After a long Winter of doing crazy things to my skin this mist is amazing!  I love the glow of course but I’m really impressed with how calm and happy my skin is since starting it. 

It was new for me to keep my skincare in the fridge and to apply a mist as the absolute last step— even after makeup!  The texture is not sticky and absorbs quickly leave a bit of a glow. I just sprite a little right before leaving the house. 

My results over the last 3 weeks are: less breakouts, better hydrated skin, less itchiness from wearing masks all day, and better evenness to the appearance of my skin. 

Check it out in the link in my bio and let me know what you think!
