I like to think I'm a minimalist when it comes to makeup most days. I like it keep it simple with multi-purpose products. What's most important for me is keeping it looking natural, something like a step above no-makeup-makeup. I just want to enhance my skin, not cover it up. On a daily basis, this is my go to look. Sometimes, I'll skip my eyes or just wear lip balm, and most days I don't even wear mascara. The Products I Used: Juice Beauty SPF 30 Tinted Mineral Moisturizer in Sand[...]
I've been using natural skincare products for years, but it wasn't until a few months ago that I got really into natural makeup products. The more I learned about all the toxic chemicals found in typical drugstore and high end makeup brands, the deeper I dove into finding healthy, clean makeup products to replace my drawer of chemical creams and toxic powders. It's been a process. I've replaced all but one or two items in my makeup collection with clean, green products that I absolutely love[...]
I've been using this scalp treatment once a week for a couple of months now and I've noticed my hair is thicker and grows quicker!

Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive $39 There's a bunch of reasons this peel is so wonderful... It brightens my skin, reduces the appearance of hyper-pigmentation, and is really easy to use without a big mess like clay masks and peels.

My favorite way to curl my hair is by wrapping it around a 1" curling iron, but sometimes I'll see little kinks in my curls from the top clamp. I thought about buying a new curling wand, but decided I'd transform my current 1" curling iron into a wand. It saved me about $50 (the cost of a new curling wand at the beauty store) and I knew this iron would end up buried away in my bathroom and probably never used again. All you need is a curling iron and a phillips screw driver... Step 1 : Re[...]
