New Spring Arrivals I’m Loving

It’s officially winter and everything on my body feels dry. My skin, my hair and especially my lips. I have products that help my lips stay hydrated all year long but I need to amplify the routine in the winter to avoid dry, cracked lips. You may have a line-up of dry skin products to help your face and body stay moisturized throughout the winter, but using products specifically for the lips is key. This blog post will be a guide on how to keep your lips hydrated effectively and the products I like to use to help with this.

I turned 46 a few months ago and have been slowly adjusting my makeup routine to accommodate my changing skin. From fine lines, to texture to being more dry overall, I’ve been on a hunt for products that suit mature skin types. Years ago, this was not an option since most beauty brands marketed primarily to a younger demographic. In the past few years, there has been a shift in the beauty industry (slow but it’s there!) to cater more to an older demographic. Some brands offer products that suit mature skin types but I was so excited to see an entire beauty brand dedicated to women over 40, Sarah Creal Beauty.

Winter can be one of the most monotonous seasons to dress for so it’s the perfect time to expand your sweater collection. Switch things up and add new styles to give your closet a bit of a refresh during a time when it’s so cold and hard to feel inspired by getting dressed each day. If you are in need of some inspiration or just some great basics to fill in the gaps of your winter wardrobe, here are 8 different sweaters to add to your closet this winter.
