Wow, humidity and hot temps sure do a number on how fresh I look and feel, and this week has been brutal in the mid-Atlantic. There’s nothing like a heavy film of sweat during a heat wave to completely undo the beautiful finish of your foundation or color. I had to crack up the […]

  Bronzer is the perfect thing to have on hand for an instant pick-me-up with little effort. There’s a reason why we crave that sun-kissed look—it reads healthy and wholesome to us.
