Don't skip the sunscreen
"As a girl who spent a lot of time on the beach, I learned early on, that wearing SPF is very important. Even if you are not on the beach, it's always a good idea to protect your skin. It will keep your skin free of sun spots and sun damage. A good moisturizer is also key, like the Clarant B3 Dark Spot Correcting Cream."
Let your inner beauty shine
"I feel the most beautiful on the beach. Something about feeling so small and realizing how beautiful the world is, puts things in perspective. I feel effortless when I am by the ocean on the sand."
Makeup essentials
"I cannot live without my eyelash curler, a good highlighter and some tinted lip balm. That's actually what I use daily."
Less is more
"I try and keep my makeup routine minimal so I can spend more time enjoying adventures with my daughter."
Healthy tresses
"I have always been a rebel when it comes to switching up my hair, but I couldn't have done it without coconut oil. I apply the Suave Professionals Coconut Oil Infusion Damage Repair Oil Treatment and leave it in my hair at least once a week for an hour, to keep my stands shiny and strong, and it smells amazing!"
Eye masks are a savior
"When tired, under eye masks are my saving grace! I learned to put them in the freezer the night before and then put them on for 30 minutes to reduce puffiness. It's like magic."
Use hydrating soap
"I also make sure to clean my face with hydrating soap like the Dove Beauty Bar, which contains ¼ moisturizing cream and maintains my skin radiant."
Prevention is everything
Always make sure your skin is moisturized (face and body). I love POND’S Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream, which contains vitamin E that helps maintain the healthy appearance of my skin. You have to rub it in your fingers and warm it up and then apply by patting it into your skin.
Go confidently
"My motto is 'There is no wrong way to be a woman' and I stand firmly in the belief that when we allow ourselves to be happy, we are allow others to see our beauty."
Create good vibes
"Don't forget to turn on some music while getting ready. I love to set a tempo by listening to good music when I wake up or I am getting ready for events. Sometimes we forget how big of an effect music has on our mood, so I always love to get the good vibes going by listening to music."
