My Summer Hair Cocktail
As my hair has grown out from a very short pixie to an Olivia Newtown-John circa “Let’s Get Physical” mullet (goals!), I’ve embraced my curly hair again. Curly hair requires a bit more prep and coercing. I’m constantly trying out new products and layering them to achieve lively, fully formed waves. It’s a fine line between too much product weighing hair down and not enough leaving it unmanageable. Fresh out of the shower I spritz the top of hair with Drunk Elephant Wild Marula Tangle…

Maybe you’ve seen the blue bottles all over Instagram or you’ve heard the beauty-obsessed crowd raving about this $265 cream. I’m here to tell you The Rich Cream is worth every penny.

Follow Your Dreams – Act 3
“You didn’t go to college to be a waitress.” It was coming from a loving place, one of concern and most likely fear when I decided to leave my small hometown of Pittsburgh, PA and move to New York City with no job and no place to live. I left on a “2 week vacation” to visit a friend and didn’t come back. I threw down my bags and hit the pavement with my best friend from college applying for every waitressing job along the way. I had no…

Today’s Set Up | No. 3
I don’t know about you but I’ve been wearing way less makeup than usual. I think “staying home” and the quarantine has ushered in a new “natural” and “go with the flow” aesthetic. This is why our skin and investing in our skincare is even more important. It’s taken me years to figure out what works for my skin (which is combination dry, oily and prone to breakouts around my chin/mouth area). Add a mask to the equation and all of a sudden I’m breaking…
