After reading this article about the benefits of wearing a sleep mask every night, I was skeptical to say the least. I’ve always associated sleeping masks with those flimsy things they give you on planes, or the pouting teenager in her flowered bedroom in the movies.. but after testing many, I am actually totally convinced and I eat my own words on this one! I have slept better in the last several weeks than I have in years, and I am excited to see the skincare benefits over more time.

There are certain beauty extras that I am 100% willing to invest my time and money into, but lash extensions are simply not one of those things. Maybe it’s the shape of my eyes or just the artificialness of the look, but either way, I just don’t think they look good on me…

So what would I recommend instead? Let’s take a look at a few ways to enhance your natural lashes without the need for lash extensions.

The Art of MAKEUP Layering… Notice I didn’t call it a science! There are some general guidelines but no hard and fast rules. But sometimes I think we get hung up on the order we ‘should’ apply our makeup, or just simply always have. I think it’s worth a shot to swap a few things around every now and then to discover if you could be getting better results without actually buying anything new.

This week on Studio 5 I participated in the shows ‘Convince Me’ segment… where I laid out my 5 core beliefs that I wish every woman would know and get on board with.

It’s not just about the surface and the ‘fluff’, there is so much more to it.

Brooke and I love a good girl-friend chat, so throw in some makeup and a roulette wheel- and it’s bound to be a good time! Here’s a look at a few of the things you can find in our makeup bags, plus I share even more spins over on my IG here if you want a closer look at what’s in that bag.

As we inch closer to Summer and the weather heats up, we start to stock up on the Summer staples like sunscreen and aloe vera. But there are a few extras that you can add into your Summer essentials to leave your skin and hair in better shape, even once those temps rise.

There are some products that just stand the test of time- and even when you venture out to try something new, you find your way back to those oldies but goodies. The products you are in a long-term relationship with, the ones you are committed to! I have quite o few of these favorites, but I narrowed it down to 5… the criteria being that I must have used them for at least 3 years and/or repurchased them 5 times. So take a look at my list, and be sure to share your own with me over on IG
