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 ...
Our Favorite Sunscreens
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. I started using mineral SPF on my face exclusively last fall. I made a commitment to wear it every.single.day, no excuses. Even on days I didn’t wear makeup, I wore my mineral SPF and I’m really ...
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 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. I think those of us currently working from ...
