At Home Laser Hair Removal That Is Permanent–Silk’n

Beauty

I had laser hair removal years ago and was really happy with the results. The only thing I hated was having to drive 1.5 hours to the appointment and back home! Over the last few years as I took fertility drugs, got pregnant and had a baby some patches of hair grew back due to hormone changes. I tried a few at home laser hair removal devices but didn’t have much luck. When Silk’n reached out for me to try their device I was apprehensive. But, I agreed to try it out and share my results even if it...

Charlotte Tilbury X Sephora Launches Sept 14 2018

Charlotte Tilbury Makeup X Sephora

Beauty

Charlotte Tilbury makeup is one of my favorite makeup companies and I am so excited they are launching in select Sephora Stores this September! Their Magic Cream, Dry Mask, and Lip Balm are all items I keep on hand all year. But, as Fall starts to warm up and dry out here in Northern California I like to switch up my makeup routine and go a little darker. A bold lip and blush are my go to for Fall; pair it with flawless skin and the look is simple and classic. I start with a good primer and under...

Creating a Baby Play Corner

Home

Olivia like most babies HATES tummy time! So I created a fun baby play corner just for baby to get her excited every day. It was easy to pop all this up in the guest room. We never use it and should we need to the items are all easily stored in the closet. I filled the baby play corner with pillows a plush furry rug, some toys and books. A few times a day we snuggle in the corner to read books or just play with some toys. Olivia loves it. I found these cute pillows from EGGKIDS. ...

Family Dinner Time

Home

Family dinner was my favorite as a kid. It was the one time a day we were all together. I want to continue that tradition on with Olivia. Who knew it was so hard!? My husband is a total work-a-holic, I run two businesses and take care of Oliva with help from my Mother-in-law one day a week. It is tough to cook family dinner let alone get things set up and grocery shopping is a CHORE with a baby. I know we all know how much I LOVE meal delivery services; I have tried every brand on the...

How to Triple Cleanse Like an Esthetician

Triple Cleansing Like an Esthetician

Beauty

Nothing is more important in a facial or your daily skin care routine as the cleansing step. At the spa, we like to do triple cleansing to make sure all the following steps really absorb and give the best results. Since a facial has to start and end in 50 minutes so you can stay on track for the day layering products is a great way to get the results in the least amount of time. The key is the order of application and picking products that work for a client’s specific skin. Triple Cleansing: Step 1: Cream Cleanser –...

Back To School Outfits

Lyric’s outfit details: Dress Victoria Road // Backpack (borrowed from me just for these pics! We didn’t send her off with a Valentino backpack 🤣 Though she tried her best to convince me she needed to keep it!) // Uniform Skirt and Top: Amazon // Denim Jacket: Victoria Road Back To School Outfits: I can’t believe Summer is over already. It went by so fast this year with a new baby and all that comes with being a new Mom. I love that our new neighborhood has a school bus that picks the kids up right by our house. I...

Workout Skincare Routine

Beauty

Workout skincare was always a tricky routine to figure out for me. I don’t like to put super strong products on overheated skin and depending on what time of the day I worked out certain serums can be a bit overkill. Recently, I figured out a simple, gentle but effective workout skincare routine that works perfectly no matter what time of the day I work out and it is totally customizable. Workout Skincare Routine: Step 1 cleanse – I love this new BLISS cleanser sticks for the gym. They are easy to use in the shower or at a...
