Retinol is one of the key ingredients in my skincare routine and has been for many years. It has so many great benefits and my skin always looks consistently great when I have it in my routine. If you are new to using retinol, it's definitely an ingredient that should be introduced slowly and then built up if your skin can tolerate it. Retinol helps accelerate skin cell turnover which slows down significantly as we age. Retinol speeds up this process which results in fewer fine lines, plumper skin and an overall fresher appearance. There are various forms of retinol
One of the biggest trends continuing from last year is the denim skirt. Specifically the denim midi skirt but so many different lengths are available now so there is something for everyone. I was curious about trying the trend and whether or not I would like it, but now I can confidently say I love it! I've worn mine all through summer into fall and winter. Denim is a major backbone of my wardrobe so adding in jean skirts seemed like something I could easily style with things already in my closet. How To Style a Denim Skirt Denim Skirt

I'm a huge skincare lover and have been for many years. That being said, it can be hard to find the best products and especially to find the best eye creams. I only have a handful of eye creams that I've ever really enjoyed because so many seem to deliver similar results. Using an eye cream is necessary because the skin around the eye is more delicate. And needs a different formulation than the products used for the face. And since the under eye area can often have a various number of issues that aren't necessarily affecting the rest of
Lady jacket | Skirt | Boots | Bag (similar) | Sunglasses I was never a huge cardigan lover years ago. Many of the styles seemed dated and not that flattering so I never gravitated towards them. Fast forward to the past two years and the emergence of the "lady jacket" has completely won me over. The "lady jacket" style is a mix between a cardigan and cropped jacket. Most have a bit of a structured feel to them and there are a variety of fabrics and styles available now. I have fully embraced the trend and absolutely LOVE wearing them.
Hourglass has been one of my favorite makeup brands ever since I purchased my first product from them. It was the brow tool in Soft Brunette and I still use it every single day nearly 12 years later. Since then I have tried almost every single Hourglass product that has launched and my love continues to grow for them each time. Some have been a miss for me but for the most part, I love every product they put out! Their most recent launch has the internet in a major buzz and rightfully so. The Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush is

I'm loving the oversized hobo bags for fall and just ordered this one in the medium size. 3. Just added these bracelets to my Amazon cart. I saw a jewelry haul on TikTok and these looked so cute and are a fraction of the price of the Van Cleef & Arpels version. Ha! 4. Ugh, I want to wear ALL the striped lady jackets and cardigans for fall. I
While I have always been a huge skincare lover and like to try all the anti-aging products I can get my hands on, I have finally extended this care to the skin on my entire body. I no longer want to just use a simple body cream with no additional skincare benefits. There are TOO many options available now of body products that are targeting anti-aging concerns and using similar ingredients that are often used in facial skincare. I already use and love the Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil which is a rich body oil designed to help firm, improve
My favorite brand of denim shorts has been AGOLDE and after all these years is still the case. While they are on the pricier side, I have always loved the fit and style of all the AGOLDE denim shorts I've owned. There are so many different styles to choose from so I thought I would share a post dedicated to all the styles I own as well as a description of each. A good pair of denim shorts is a must have for summer. Even if you only purchase one pair, make sure you love the fit and style because
