Versed Skincare Headband Lookalikes
I loved my Versed skincare headband made of soft terrycloth - it's perfect for doing your makeup & skincare routine but it's also cute to just wear when you're around the house lounging. I often wear it when I clean, too! Versed only offers their skincare headband as an add-on to a $45 order, but I've finally found some lookalikes that I'm ...
Recent Beauty Favorites

Some are recent buys and some I've been using for many years or since last year. Disclaimer: Some of the products in this post were sent to me in PR packages, which I've indicated in the post. ...
Why You Should Be Using Retinol in Your Anti-Aging Skincare Routine
Thank you Olay, for sponsoring this post. 2020 is the year I can't stop, won't stop talking about retinol. I've been taking my skincare to the next level this year, even though very few people actually see my face in person. I keep joking we'll all re-emerge in 2021 with the best skin of our lives.

My Night Time Skin Care Routine + Microneedling Update
A couple of months ago I shared my morning getting ready/skin care routine and so many of y'all requested that I share my night time skin care routine so today I'm doing just that! My goal is to do everything I can to make my skin clear, glowing, even and smooth, so all of my creams and tools are geared towards that goal. I'm going to start this ...
All About Botox & My Experience at Basu Plastic Surgery in Houston
In early November, I went to Basu Plastic Surgery to get a Botox treatment for the first time. I have had Dysport injected once before, but this was my first time trying Botox and I'm absolutely thrilled with my results. I went to Basu Plastic Surgery's Texas Medical Center location and the nurse injector, Tiffany, evaluated my skin and marked ...
My Morning Beauty Routine + Beauty Tips for Working Moms
I get asked all the time how I "do it all" and, spoiler alert, I definitely don't!

I always opt to look polished for the office, but my beauty routine has to ...
