CURRENT FAVORITE CASUAL OUTFIT I feel my best in

CURRENT FAVORITE CASUAL OUTFIT

I feel my best in casual clothes. This tank top and these slouchy denim cut offs have been my go-to during this heatwave. I always like pairing something fitted with something loose for balance.

The shorts a super affordable (under$20) and are cute and comfy. A little looser, longer and more forgiving for us over 40 gals 😉

This bra has no wires and literally disappears under clothing for a smooth look and super comfortable fit.

I have worn my Birkenstocks so much this summer that I have literally worn them out.

I carry my phone, treats and poop bags in this supper affordable dupe for the Lululemon look alike cross body bag. It comes in to a of colors and is under $20.
I hope your weekend is off to a great start ❤️

✨COASTAL KITCHEN REVEAL✨

The big day is finally here!!!! I am sharing my kitchen with you today! I wrote a monster blog post, that has taken me weeks to write and was quite overwhelming! I wanted to do it justice. I truly love my new kitchen and could not have done it without John from @kusakabuilders and Christy and Rob from @adu_your_appliance_source appliances!

It was truly a labor of love and a dream come true. I hope you love it as much as I do! I share much ore detail on the blog!

A huge thank you also to @alexhdphoto for the amazing photos and making it such a fun experience! You are the best! ❤️

💦MY DAILY DOSE OF HYDRATION💦 Drinking enoug

💦MY DAILY DOSE OF HYDRATION💦

Drinking enough water has always been a struggle for me. I recently got this Stanley Cup and I absolutely love it. I make this concoction in the morning and commit to drinking it throughout the day. The best part is, it stays cold all day long and Instill have ice in my cup at the end of the day.
I do 1 scoop of collage in my morning coffee and get my second dose for the day with this. Here is what I do:

💦 1 scoop of @vitalproteins
💦 add a bit of warm water & mix
💦 add 1 stick of @liquidiv powder
💦add water & ice
💦drink, drink, drink

It is helps me be more energized throughout the day and the collagen powder also contains hyaluronic acid to help with my skin!

How do you stay motivated to drink more water? Help a girl out!

☀️FAVORITE SUNSCREENS THAT WON’T MESS UP YOU

☀️FAVORITE SUNSCREENS THAT WON’T MESS UP YOUR MAKEUP☀️

There is no excuse to not wear sunscreen anymore. I am sharing my 2 favorite sunscreens that fit in your purse and that you can use throughout the day to re-apply without messing up your makeup!

☀️The mineral powder works great to bring down shine and adds an SPF 30. It works great on the hairline as well!

☀️The setting spray has been a long time favorite and I always get the smallest size to carry in my purse. It sets your makeup and has SPF all in one.

WALKING INTO THAT CLASSROOM LIKE….

This is the PERFECT dress for teachers for back to school. It is so chic and comfortable and comes in lots of colors. It runs large, so size down if you are in between sizes!

BEAUTY MISTAKES THAT AGE YOU

✨This is my most popular blog post ever, and also my most controversial!

✨Obviously you should do what makes you happy and if dark liner and matte lipstick are your thing then you should ROCK IT!

✨However, in my professional opinion and in all of my years as a makeup artist, there are certain tips and tricks that can take years off your face and give you a brighter and more youthful appearance! One thing I would add to the post, is that skin prep is so important before applying makeup!

✨I will share some tips all about that in the next week!

Read the complete blogpost here:

🍩 GLAZED DONUT MANICURE🍩

Ironically, I have been doing my nails like this for years, even before it became internet famous!

I guess I am just ahead of the beauty game over here 😉.

This is truly the easiest and prettiest manicure and is a great low-maintenance option for summer!

Give it a try!

our beach trips are always super casual and most days I hardly wear makeup at all. That being said,
I love to have options and we prepared for the occasional night out. Here is what I packed for this week. It all fits in my small makeup bag and I am prepared for anything, from beach days to date nights! 🏖☀️❤️
