SWAN BEAUTY: THE PERFECT VALENTINE’S GIFT FOR YOUR MOM, SISTER, BFF OR ANYONE WHO DESERVES TO BE TREATED SPECIAL

SWAN BEAUTY: THE PERFECT VALENTINE’S GIFT FOR YOUR MOM, SISTER, FRIEND OR ANYONE WHO DESERVES A LITTLE PAMPERING + YOU CAN TRY BEFORE YOU BUY

I am so excited and honored to be a part of Swan Beauty’s first ever collaboration! Swan Beauty is an amazing company owned by two fabulous women who just so happen to be my pledge sister’s 2 best friends. They’re a brand new online beauty concierge where all products are chosen for your specific skin tone, coloring, and skin type. Skincare concerns, preferences and overall desired look is based on your individual beauty budget. In today’s current circumstances, this is like a dream come true! All you have to do is go online, create an account and fill out their quiz. This quiz will help the beauty experts determine the products (both makeup and skincare) that are best suited for you. They can even color match you online! Learn more about the best beauty products from Swan Beauty and what they stand for HERE.

Since Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, I thought this would be a perfect time to share Swan Beauty’s curated gift boxes! Full sized products and samples are included so you can “try it, before you buy it”. After 5 days, you can determine what you’d like to keep and what you’d like to send back. They offer free shipping + return shipping (if you choose to send something back). A letter from a beauty expert along with the full sized products and samples is included. Written instructions with a beautiful face diagram indicating where to apply the makeup products is also in the curated box. Learn more about Swan Beauty’s gifting HERE (gift cards also available).

HINDSIGHT’S 2020 | WELLNESS, WORKOUT & BEAUTY TIPS FOR A BETTER YOU IN 2K21

HINDSIGHT’S 2020 | WELLNESS, WORKOUT & BEAUTY TIPS FOR A BETTER YOU IN 2K21

INSPIRATION ON HOW TO TAKE ACTION THIS BLUE MONDAY 

Has this Blue Monday found you dismayed with maintaining a wellness routine in 2k21 already? Each year many people find themselves saying the words, “New year, new me”! I don’t care much for that saying. As much as we dream of being better versions of ourselves, life gets busy or hard and it can be tough to stick with any new routine. However this year, more than any other before, you must give yourself even more grace. Additionally. always remember it’s never too late to follow through with improving your wellness, physical activity, and other manifestations.

Cliff Arnall first published about Blue Monday back in 2005. But he recently said that it was “never his intention to make the day sound negative”, but rather “to inspire people to take action and make bold life decisions”.

Maintaining a wellness routine is truly important in order to sustain a positive emotional, physical, and mental state of mind. Just remember “Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip Toe if you must, but take a step.” – Naeem Callaway.

THE PERFECT WEDDING GUEST DRESS + SHOP KREWE SUNGLASSES 70% OFF HOLIDAY SALE PICKS + THE $500 AMAZON GIVEAWAY CONTINUES

Sometimes just looking for The Perfect Wedding Guest Dress can be more stressful than being the actual bride herself. If you’ve ever experienced this then you know exactly what I mean. And that’s where I come in to help. Today I’m sharing the perfect wedding guest dress. It’s not white (which no one should wear besides the bride), or boring, or basic (my teenagers love saying that), or too long or too short, but the perfect mix of chic, elegance. It has a very comfortable silhouette (so no need to be uncomfortable all night and have to wear spanx control tops) and stunning puff-sleeves. Then finish it off with a pair of boots or heels and off you go!

This dress looks a lot more expensive than it actually is plus I’m linking a quite a few ‘similar for less’ styles as well. You might remember I also recently shared The Sweater Dress Capsule that also has some fabulous wedding guest dress options as well!

Also featuring today the infamous Schutz Maryana knee boot that is simply the most effortlessly, uber chic boot knee-boot out there right now that doesn’t break the bank like a lot of the others!

TONED, TIGHTER SKIN WITHOUT GOING UNDER THE KNIFE | ULTHERAPY AT ENLIGHTEN MD

TONED, TIGHTER SKIN WITHOUT GOING UNDER THE KNIFE | ULTHERAPY AT ENLIGHTEN MD + 15% OFF ANY SERVICE

Are you interested in smoothing, lifting, tightening & toning the skin on your face, neck, and/or chest? But want to avoid any kind of surgery. If I told you there’s a new way to achieve this without going under the knife, would you believe me? Ultherapy at Enlighten MD is an amazing choice if you want to avoid surgery or maintain the effects of cosmetic surgery! Plus it’s the only ultrasound treatment approved by the FDA to tighten skin without surgery.

Collagen is a very important component of the skin. As we age and our skin matures, collagen fibers that provide internal support become worn. Ultherapy stimulates collagen production, which in turn, provides firmness and suppleness to the skin which we associate with a youthful appearance.

I mean…Christy Brinkley is their spokesperson and who doesn’t want to try everything she’s doing at least once, right?! Ultherapy is basically a facelift without the surgery part involved. Sounds too good to be true, right? It’s the only non-surgical ultrasound treatment for skin lifting on the brow, neck, and chin. If you are between the ages of 40 and 60 years old with early signs of laxity, you’re the perfect candidate! (But side note Christy is 66 and she is still doing it!)

Plus if you mention my name or name of my blog, you will receive 15% off any procedure at EnlightenMD.

HAIR FALLING OUT? DRY, DAMAGED OR EVEN FLAKY? BEAUTYBIO DEBUTS NEW MICRONEEDLING SCALP & HAIR SERUM THAT WORKS! + OTHER FALL SKIN & HAIR SAVING MUST HAVES

HAIR FALLING OUT? DRY, DAMAGED OR EVEN FLAKY? BEAUTYBIO DEBUTS NEW MICRONEEDLING SCALP & HAIR SERUM THAT WORKS! + OTHER FALL SKIN & HAIR SAVING MUST-HAVES

Tired of thin, dry, flaky, or damaged hair? Well me too! So I decided to do something about it. Ever since I had my 3 girls I feel like my hair has been just constantly falling out in the shower. So as a result, I decided to secretly test out the GloPRO Microneedling Scalp and Hair Serum for the last 3 months when Jamie O’Banion (founder & CEO of BeautyBio) personally asked me if I would. And let me tell you it absolutely works!! It has dramatically changed my hair. I’ve always had pretty healthy, thick hair but as I’ve aged it slowly began to fallout and get thinner around my hairline. It now has more volume and fullness plus it feels softer, stronger, shinier and thicker than it ever has before! Plus, keep scrolling for more hair saving must-haves.

Also, my scalp feels healthier, rejuvenated, and is much less oily. It has also completely helped me get rid of all my product build-up on a daily basis too. Because let’s be honest I don’t wash my hair every day (let alone every other day) so I tend to get a lot of product build-up as the week goes on. I’m not sure how I lived without the GloPRO Scalp Attachment and FolliGRO Hair Serum before. But I know now that I won’t live without them ever again…that’s for sure!

With the weather starting to change and getting colder our hair and skin tend to get more dry and flaky with the Fall and Winter Seasons. So it’s time to change up our skincare and haircare routines slightly. Nordstrom is my one-stop destination for all things beauty these days! They have every beauty product you’ll ever need. I can always count on them to have the latest, up-to-date beauty selections – as well as the best “gift with purchase sets” too always! That’s why today I’m also sharing my other “Fall Skin & Hair Saving Must-Have’s”.
