Sunscreen is the one skincare non-negotiable that I wear every single day. 365 days a year. I even wear it when I'm at home, not leaving the house because we have a ton of windows in the home so sun can still get through. Sunscreen formulations have come a long way so if you don't like wearing one, keep trying until you find a formula that works for you. There are so many to choose from with every texture imaginable. I thought it was time I made a dedicated post to all my sunscreen favorites, updating it as I find

I've always been someone who is overdressed for occasions and will always err on the side of dressing up a bit more rather than dressing down. Even my casual outfits tend to look more elevated because I love to add extra touches to style them in a more put together way. That could mean adding certain accessories, doing my hair/makeup or ensuring all the pieces are free of wrinkles or creases. I feel my best when my outfit is well thought out and put together and it can definitely create a good impression when meeting people for the first time.

One skin concern that was never an issue for me years ago but has slowly crept up is the appearance of dark spots. Ugh! They are among the most common skincare concerns and can develop for several reasons. Most dark spots are usually harmless, but they can affect overall skin tone and make the complexion appear uneven or dull. They can make you feel less confident because they can be hard to cover up or hide with traditional makeup. I regularly get questions from readers about 'how to get brighter skin' so today's post is going to be a guide

While sandal trends come and go each summer, I like to invest in classic styles that I can wear year after year.

The clear sandal trend took off a few years ago and I am so grateful that it did! Clear sandals have been the answer to so many of my summer outfit shoe problems. I tend to wear more color in the spring and summer but am not going to invest in sandals of all different colors to go with each outfit. Neutrals are fine but even then I have to decide which shades will go with the most looks. Then when clear sandals entered the scene, my entire summer wardrobe was easier to style! At first, the clear sandals that

I can no longer treat the skin on my body with scented body creams and frilly body lotions. I need to add in targeted treatments with ingredients that will help to address emerging concerns like crepiness, dullness, discoloration and loss of elasticity. I've been testing out a handful of body care products to see which will offer the best results. I have finally landed on a selection of formulations + devices that are helping to improve the skin on my body rather than just offer surface level results. Here are my current favorite anti-aging body care products. The Anti-Aging Body

If there is one makeup product I have in abundance, it's lip products. Lipsticks, lip glosses, tinted lip balms, lip oils - I love them all. And this year has been the year of the tinted lip balm! So many new ones have been released and more colors have been released in old favorites. Even though I like wearing a full face of makeup nearly every day, I love the idea of a moisturizing lip balm with a bit of tint to wear either alone or layered over another lip product. Tinted lip balms are a great way to hydrate,

A denim jacket is a staple in my closet. They can easily be styled for different seasons, with various outfits, and for multiple occasions. The right denim jacket can instantly make an outfit feel more balanced, relaxed, and styled without looking overdone. But with the wrong denim jacket, an outfit can easily feel outdated or bulky when proportions, washes, or layering pieces do not work together. In today's post, I'll be sharing a round up of outfits that you can wear with denim jackets. 6 Outfits With a Denim Jacket Denim jackets work across every season, outfit styles, and layering
