I miss the sun too much to stay in the wintry cold for too long -you’ll usually find me jet-setting to sunny beaches and tropical breezes in the later months of the year!

Skincare 101: How to Be Ingredient Savvy

My Secret Facial Weapon

I take skincare very seriously. Your face is one of the first places that signs of aging, fatigue, and stress occur, and it shows to everyone you meet! That’s why I don’t mind splurging a bit on skincare products that make a positive impact, like the NŪFACE by CarolCole. This handy toner mimics the natural currents that run through our body, which slow down as we get older. Using it tones and tightens your facial muscles, adding lift, luminance, and youth into your face! It isn’t just for your face, either! The company also has a NUBODY tool to tone
