As we bid adieu to another year, it’s time to spill the tea on my absolute favorite beauty buys that have transformed my skincare routine. This is 40, after all. As I invest in products for my face and evaluate which work well for me and which I won’t repurchase, I’ve made note of the...

Alright, friends, it is time for one of the most exciting times in beauty – the Sephora Sale.

If you've been using the same products for more than a few months, it's most likely time for a makeup refresh. Not only do products expire and dry out, but sometimes it's just good to try new things.

I’m not one to buy a ton of makeup every month. I like to find products that really pull their weight and last long enough to be worthwhile. Sometimes I invest in products that are nice, but take a lot of application to build up and don’t seem worth the price tag. Other times, I’m...
As a mom, I love sharing and supporting other mom-owned and mom-operated businesses. My friend Dr. Mandy Chavers, MD and her husband, Dr. Kyle Chavers, MD have created Foundations Medical Center, a health and wellness space in Destin that uses preventive, nutritional and functional medicine to help address the root causes of health problems.

Let’s talk skincare! I can’t tell you how much time and how many years I wasted not caring for my skin properly. Aside from the usual teenage breakouts or a zit that time of the month, I’ve always had pretty good skin with no major issues (unless you count being fair and freckled, which I...
While I can’t believe we’re at the end of 2018, I’m excited for the year ahead and enjoy taking a look back over the past 12 months as I prepare for the next 12. It’s always good to take a self-assessment and review, so here’s a quick look at what topped my content from style...
