As I've gotten further into my 30s, my obsession with beauty has taken a hard turn into all things skincare. OK so I'm still obsessed with makeup and hair, but I will say I spend more time and money on my skincare these days. I'd much rather get my skin right and then need to wear less makeup to feel confident. Plus, since having George, let's just say the time I can dedicate to makeup routines has decreased significantly. ...
Should I Be Using Retinol?
There's one question I see and hear women asking beauty bloggers, estheticians, dermatologists and the like over and over again: should I be using retinol?

What Order to Apply Your Skincare
Every time I post about a skincare product or talk about my skincare routine on Instagram, someone always pops up in my DMs asking what order is best to apply products.

The Only Red Lipstick I Wear During the Holidays
It's no surprise I am a big fan of neutral lips, but this time of year, I love to wear a red lipstick. It feels bold, festive and there's really nothing more classic than a red lip.
