I had a conversation this weekend with a friend and she asked if there was anything she could do to permanently thicken her brows that did not involve tattooing her face. I explained that I have tried a few things on my own eyebrows, as I have an uneven situation. When I was in second grade, I shaved off half of one of my brows and that side has never been the same. For many years, it was sparse. There…

I’ve mentioned before that I LOVE my Mason Pearson hairbrushes, and that they are truly worth every penny. They are, however, steep, so any time I find a good deal on a Mason Pearson I feel compelled to share the news. They are a luxurious item that is so lovely to have, yet it’s not something most people would think to splurge on for themselves, and therefore a perfect holiday gift. Here is where you can find a Mason Pearson…
It’s a running joke in my family that I can break anything. Yes, I am clumsy and a little rough on stuff, but I am also pretty convinced that most Gua Sha facial rollers are flimsy. Well, too flimsy for me. I can’t be the only one. I finally found one that I have love, and I haven’t broken it (yet). Here is my favorite Gua Sha facial roller and why:…
I think we can take this as a sign from the beauty gods that it is time to start switching out our summer foundation to fall. Sephora is blessing us with 20% off all foundations (including BB & CC creams), so it’s a good time to stock up. I don’t think I have seen a sale notification that had me checking out this fast in a long time. The beauty deal we all need for fall is here.…
Having already been a devotee of Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo, I could not wait to try out the new addition to the holy grail of dry shampoo’s collection. I was not particularly optimistic that it would live up to it’s predecessor, because I am not a fan of the Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast. It’s too sticky and does not absorb oil for me. Here is my un-sponsored Living Proof Perfect hair Day (PhD) Advanced Clean Dry…
For a multitude of reasons, I spent the better half of the season coloring my hair myself. I have had grey hair since my pre-teen years and need a root job every 4-6 weeks. My DIY dye job was fine enough, but my blonde balyage was in need. There was absolutely no chance I would attempt to highlight my own hair, so I researched alternatives. That is how I happened upon the best semi-permanent hair color.…
Lately I’ve been feeling so thankful for the skincare powerhouses in my beauty arsenal. The sun has been strong, but they are no match for the bests in my beauty bag. It’s taken a lot of trial and error, but I have some tried and true favorites that I use daily. Here are my 5 summer skin favorites:…
I recently achieved some hair goals of mine, and my friends noticed. They said my hair has been growing like crazy, and that I should share what I have been doing, so here we are. I was inspired by this photo and set my sights on getting here come fall: I love everything about the cut and color, but it required me to speed things up in the growth and strength category. I consider myself a somewhat seasoned pro at…
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is now shoppable for Nordstrom Cardholders, and available for previewing if you don’t have a Nordy card.
