This creator is GORGEOUS and their content keeps popping up everywhere on Pinterest for me. I'm living for this. 

This trend where the product video is featured on a phone / mirror flatlay has been sent to me multiple times and I am here for it 

These two 🥹 I love their individual content but this podcast is great, especially if you want the up and up on skincare, beauty, and the industry. They have a lot of integrity with the products they use and debunk a lot of skincare and beauty fads.  Also I cannot tag @dermangelo in the photo but just know ilysm
It was great weekend with the boys despite everyon It was great weekend with the boys despite everyone being sick. I got a moment to myself  Saturday AM by running. It was my first real run since the half marathon a couple weeks ago, and it was rough. Usually, I treat myself with coffee afterwards, and that's exactly what I did.  What's your go-to for a little self care?
Halfway through my 30 days of posting! It's been k Halfway through my 30 days of posting! It's been kinda fun to play around with making content. 
Show up even if you don't feel like it. Because these are the things I've learned so far:

💕Research can (and should) take a max of 10 minutes. Any more than that I'm doom scrolling and not gaining anything

💕Don't overthink. Just do. Some content happens more easily than others. 

💕 You'll find other creators who are like you. That is the start of your community 

Keep going. If I can do it you can too

What is it about fall that  inspires you ?
"You've got great skin!" Large pores. Hyperpigment "You've got great skin!"
Large pores. Hyperpigmentation. Eczema and redness. Wrinkles. It's taken a long time for me to learn to love these outer parts of me, and some days it's a STRUGGLE. But at 37, these are what makes my skin great. 

I love makeup and skincare because I feel good when I use it, but most of the time you'll see me sans makeup, baggy eyes, and a Velcro baby on my hip. Yes, consistency is key to get the results you want (glass skin, perhaps??) but some things can't really be changed, and it's the journey of learning to love those things, too.
