SolaWave Review
Full disclosure, the SolaWave Red Light Wand was sent to me as a gift and I was super skeptical even before it arrived. I love me a skin device but have found that many of them simply do not work. Let’s just say that if I didn’t love the SolaWave I wouldn’t be taking the time to post about it on my blog. After 2 weeks of using it every morning I can say that my skin looks smoother, brighter, lifted and more hydrated! It’s…

My Favorite Oils
If there’s one thing to add to your skincare routine, it’s an oil. They work on every skin type and yes, even on oily/breakout prone skin (which I have.) I like to use them on my face, chest, and body and switch up depending on the season and what my skin is going through at the moment. They help maintain the moisture barrier and lock in hydration. You will see instant results as oils return a life back to your skin, add glow and smooth…

Enhance your Skincare with this Tool
I have to admit, I’m a sucker for a contraption. However, not all tools are worthy of the medicine cabinet. The criteria for “top shelf” is design, ease and does it work?!? I was lucky enough to be gifted the Dermaflash Dermapore Pore Extractor & Serum Infuser. If you haven’t tried their Dermaflash Exfoliation & Peach Fuzz Removal Device get on it, I’ve been dermaplaning my face for years and this device raises the bar. However, I’m here to talk about the Dermapore as it…

3 Products to Combat Maskne
Let’s face it, mask wearing is our reality for a while. As a men’s groomer I might wear my mask for over 10 hours while on set and around clients. Skin gets sweaty, hot and irritated. I have found the surgical masks to be more breathable and light but the fabric can leave my skin chafed and broken out around my mouth and chin. I personally love the evolvetogether masks. They are as comfortable as it gets. They are 3 ply, have an adjustable nose…

Dry Brushing the Face
I’ve always dry brushed my body (game changer) and now I’ve discovered the art of dry brushing the face. The technique is similar but the brushes (2 at a time) are smaller and softer for the more delicate skin on your face. Full disclosure: I love me some Botox and at the age of 45 I’ll take any extra help. However, you can put all the lotions and potions you want on your skin, get botox, fillers but if your overall skin health is poor…

The Stillness
The past 7 months have taught me many things. One of the things I’ve always known about myself and even wore like a badge of honor is that I am a workaholic and never rest. Part of it, is the profession I chose. As a freelance hair and makeup artist you don’t have weekends, holidays, summers, you miss weddings and dinners with friends. If you don’t work, you don’t get paid, or you might miss an opportunity to work with someone plus the desire to…

Happy Things
Life is pretty stressful these days. Between picking up and moving from a place I called home for 23 years, my work and livelihood majorly impacted by COVID, home schooling and the state of the world let’s just say it’s been A LOT. Throughout it all, I’ve found a few things to bring me a quick dose of happiness and “control”. From the simple act of putting on moisturizer to a grounding walk here’s what’s helping me and I hope it can help you too.…
