The Best Hostess Gift Ideas

Holiday
So many great picks this year for hostess gift ideas.  I don’t know about you but I am always hoping for something to brighten up my kitchen like this chic paper towel holder, or salad set!  How posh are these Kate Spade kitchen bowls!?  Reusable straws, the perfect rose gold cake/dessert stand, this chic rose gold wine opener and a few cutting board options or cheese picks are all great hostess gift ideas. After a day or week prepping for an event, all I want after is a long CBD Epsom salt soak, a candle ( I am obsessed...

Ditch the Wipes and go Cleaner with Your Skin Care

How to Remove Makeup Without Wipes

Beauty
One of the things that bugs me the most as an esthetician is disposable face wipes.  They are crap for your skin and crap for the environment.  These disposable wipes clog drains, our landfills, and your pores!  It is estimated that over 7.6 billion pounds of wipes are disposed of in landfills each year.  So why not switch up your routine and learn how to remove makeup without wipes?! How to Remove Makeup Without Wipes Get a good flannel or washcloth.  I LOVE these bamboo & velour!  These cloths will soon become your favorite part of cleansing. Super soft,...
