The only thing worse than my nail roots were my grey hairs all over my scalp. For some backstory, I have had grey hair since around my 12th birthday. I started dying my hair Liv Tyler Empire Records era auburn in middle school to mask it, which went well with my Doc Martens and flannels. As an adult, I’ve come to rely on 4-6 week apart root touch-ups to keep things copacetic. At first I accepted my roots and it…

Faux leather leggings have become an important basic in my fall and winter wardrobes. I’ve seen a heated debate brewing around which pair reigns supreme, and since I own and wear both of the bestsellers, I realized it’s time to share a comparison for those of you who may be considering your first pair or switching teams. Here are my honest, un-sponsored thoughts on the cult favorite Spanx Faux Leather Legging vs Commando Perfect Control Faux Leather Legging:…
Grab a cup of coffee and get cozy, because this post is about to go pretty deep. You may have heard about Rent The Runway’s Unlimited Membership, and might be curious about it. You’ve come to the right place, because I have been a member since the feature was in beta testing and Rent The Runway asked me to try it out.…
I feel so blessed to have three healthy babies, this life, and this blog, but I will be the first to admit that I have never been so busy in my entire life. Like most modern mortals, I rely on several apps to help me get it all done, keep me sane, happy and healthy. Here are the 5 apps that are saving my life right now:…
I had read the buzz on Harper’s and beyond about Sculplla, but when it landed in the US, I wasn’t really in the market just yet for a “wrinkle erasing sheet mask on steroids.” My esthetician sprung it on me last week and sent me home with a little something that has me believing I can hold off on sticking a needle in my face for a little while longer. Here is my honest Sculplla H2 Stem-Cell Mist Review:…
It’s been a long time since a toner got me excited, so I had to share this one with you. As I’ve mentioned before, my skin tends to get temperamental when the seasons change. Add in pregnancy #3 (which has been a little rougher on my mug than the other two), and, well, you get the picture. Since I started trying this Laneige set (c/o Laneige) that arrived at my desk (sink?), there has been one product in particular that’s…
If you’re looking for a beach getaway just under 3 hours from Manhattan (only 2 from Connecticut), Ocean House in Watch Hill, Rhode Island is it. We took a family trip to Ocean House with our two sons (15 months old and 3 years old) over Labor Day Weekend, and I was surprised that despite hosting a wedding on Sunday night, it never felt crowded. Here is what you need to know:…
I mentioned back in May that I had a transformative facial. I also noted that rather than try to sell me a slew of expensive products that I don’t have the time or patience to use, Nicole of Elite Esthetics recommended that I “just go on Amazon” and buy this serum.…
This is not the post I planned for tomorrow, but I had to stop the presses this evening because I just experienced a life changer. I want to preface this by saying that this is not a sponsored post, I am simply sold on this on demand beauty service you need in your life right now.…
A had been shunning shadow in favor of a minimal eye and a power lip color when this YSL Couture Palette c/o YSL arrived on my doorstep. It floated around my makeup bag for a while before I tried it once, then proceeded to wear it at least 4 times a week. I’ve never been a violet lover, but the 05 colors make my dark brown eyes pop and lend a warmth to my winter complexion. The pigments are so…
