There is so much to love about Aster & Bay. If you haven’t given this apothecary line a shot, I’m going to give you two new reasons to do so: Serum Absolute and Rosewater Mist. Hand made by a husband and wife team out of Atlanta, Georgia, Aster & Bay’s skincare line is 100% […]

  A friend and I joked recently that we both have a lipstick obsession because we are useless when it comes to eye makeup. It’s true that I’m pretty much a one trick pony in the eye department, so it makes sense that my lipstick collection dwarfs my eye shadow collection. That said, I’m so […]

  Do you wear sunscreen daily? In the summer when we’re lured outside by gorgeous warm weather, it’s more important than ever to choose an SPF with physical protection from mineral filters like zinc oxide. Sunscreens that use chemical filters like oxybenzone and avobenzone are the most common sunscreens on the market, but they come […]

  As much as I love skincare and makeup, fragrance is the thing I get most excited about from the ever-growing clean beauty catalogue.

  With flower essences and therapeutic essential oils at the heart of their products, Lotus Wei is a healing and transformative line on multiple levels. There’s a lot to choose from, including the “mood” you’d like to address or enhance as well as the delivery method. You can choose to take flower elixirs internally, spritz […]

  Kahina  just released a new body serum called Essaouira, and it is a pure delight to the senses and skin. This is a must-try, sophisticated botanical blend. In case you didn’t know, Kahina makes one of my all time favorite body serums, Fez. So as you can imagine, I was more than eager to […]

  Living on the east coast for the last decade has really turned me into a beach lover. I crave the ocean air, salty skin and beautiful views. Before I lived on the coast, I enjoyed summers at the lake or floating along in rivers. Whether you’re at the beach or poolside, there are some […]
