With redheads in our family and my own general propensity to burn in the sun, we take sun protection pretty seriously. You'll always see us covered up at the beach and pool - we wear hats and rash guards (I even borrowed Kevin's one day!) and are lathered in SPF. Even with meticulous application, I got a little burn on my left arm during our ...

Why I Never Go a Day Without SPF
I have an ongoing partnership with Olay. This post is not part of my paid partnership, but it's a topic I'm passionate about and want to share with you.

Why You Lose Collagen in Your Skin & What You Can Do to Restore It
This post is sponsored by Olay. I always knew that skin lost its natural collagen stores with aging, but I had no idea it starts as early as your 20s (eek!) But what does loss of collagen in the skin really mean when it comes to your skin's overall appearance? In addition to natural collagen production slowing down with age, your skin's ...
Why I’m Using Medical-Grade Skincare
When I was in 12th grade, I worked at a tanning salon in my hometown and continued to (regrettably) work there through most of college. Canadian winters were long and unfathomably cold and laying in a tanning bed felt so good and I loved having color on my fair skin.

My Updated Skincare Routine
I haven’t shared an updated skin care routine in a long time – so I put together an IGTV video breaking down the products I use regularly. I truly believe that investing in good skincare is so worth it in the long term, so there are a few products I splurge on. I also want to add the disclaimer that I do get Botox injections 2-3 times a year in ...
