This is the fourth video in our scarf tying series ✨ and this one focuses on the elegant Knot-in-Tie.

Who says scarves have to be complicated? ✨

Today’s scarf tie is one of the easiest you’ll ever learn... the Knot-in-Tie. It’s elegant, polished, and takes just seconds to create.

I love this one because it looks effortlessly chic, you can dress it up or dress it down.

Scarves are one of the easiest ways to elevate an outfit, and I hope this series inspires you to wear yours in new ways. Have you ever tried this knot?

✨The mousse recall had me checking my vanity twice… 😳

Instead of risking it, here’s the holy grail product I’ve been using on my wet hair for instant volume and easy, non-sticky summer texture. It’s a total game-changer if you have fine hair or want effortless volume!

✨Slightly obsessed with this bandana print vest 🤍 It’s an Amazon find and honestly so versatile! Paired it with a simple white tee for now, but I can already picture layering it over a turtleneck or long-sleeve tee when the weather cools down. 🍁🍂

How would you style it— skirts or pants? 👖👇

FRIDAY FIVE ✨ 5 Finds I’m LOVING Right Now

A little beauty, skincare AND fashion—these are five things I’ve been reaching for on repeat:

✨ Hydrating Replumping Stick — Part of my “Neck Tech” routine and I’ve already gone through multiple sticks. Affordable and SO easy to use.

💋 Lip Liners — These rival some of my expensive liners! Great shades, rounded tip and the brownie color is perfect for outlining. I own FOUR.

👀 Instant Eye Lift — At 62, I’m always looking for something that helps fine lines and sagging. I’ve been testing this for weeks, and the best part? It works beautifully under makeup without caking.

💧 Silk Peptide EGF Toner — Silk water, peptides + ceramides. I’m already on bottle #2—that says it all!

🤎 Bandana Vest — Such a fun, affordable way to try the bandana trend. Wear it tied or open now and straight into fall.

Do we like the Friday Five? Should I keep this series going?

#LTKBeauty #LTKdayinmylife #LTKstorytime

🛍️🚨 These Amazon fashion finds look way too expensive to be this affordable. That scallop detail on the corduroys is a total game changer!
Proof you don’t need to spend a fortune to elevate your autumn wardrobe. 🍁🍂🛍️

✨I’m 62… and I truly feel like my skin looks BETTER than it did at 50 ✨
Here’s exactly what I’m using right now to keep my skin looking smooth, lifted, and glowing…

This isn’t about doing MORE — it’s about using the RIGHT things consistently.

Here’s what I’m reaching for on repeat:

✨ Eye Cream (non-negotiable)
Hydration + smoothing is everything here. I focus on formulas that help with fine lines and keep the under-eye looking fresh (not crepey).

✨ Eye Masks
These are my little secret before going out or filming — they depuff, hydrate, and instantly make you look more awake.

✨ PDRN (next-level skincare)
This is one of those advanced ingredients I’ve added — helps support repair, hydration, and overall skin quality. SUCH a game changer.

✨ Vitamin C
Morning must-have. Brightens, evens tone, and gives that glow-from-within look while also protecting the skin.

✨ Growth Factors
If you want to level up your skincare — this is it. Supports collagen + skin renewal… I’ve seen such a difference in texture and firmness.

✨ Double Cleansing
This changed everything for me. Removing ALL makeup + buildup properly = better absorption of everything else.

✨ Moisturizer
Hydrated skin ALWAYS looks younger. I focus on barrier-supporting formulas that keep my skin plump and healthy.

✨ Sunscreen (every single day)
This is the real anti-aging secret. No skipping. Ever.

✨ Consistency > Everything
It’s not about one miracle product — it’s about layering correctly and staying consistent.

I’ve linked my exact favorites + what I’m currently using 🤍

What is ONE skincare product you swear by right now? I’m always looking to try something new 👀

THE VIRAL JACKET IS BACK! 🔥

It sold out FAST last year—and I completely understand why. This herringbone jacket with sweater sleeves is such a great fall piece, and now it’s back in new colors!

I’m loving the navy—it’s the perfect shade, not too dark, and so easy to style. The heavier weight is great for cooler days, and the sweater sleeves can be worn slouchy or adjusted depending on your arm length.

If you missed it last year, DON’T WAIT this time. I have a feeling it’s going to sell out again!

Which color would you choose—gray or navy?

THE VIRAL CAMO PANTS ARE BACK 🤎🔥 IN BROWN

I grabbed the green last year and loved them—so when I saw they were back in THREE colors, I had to get the chocolate brown. And I think they may be my favorite!

Instead of the usual tee + sneakers, I elevated them for fall with a chunky sweater, chocolate brown Dolce Vita boots, Gucci bag, and sunglasses.

Camo + chocolate brown = SUCH a good fall combination. 🤎

And these pants WILL NOT last, so if you want them, don’t wait!

Which color would you grab—green, gray, or chocolate brown?

✨ MAKEUP SESH — CLEAN BRUSHES CHANGE EVERYTHING ✨

Ok friends… if you’re not cleaning your makeup brushes regularly, this is your sign. 😅
I just found the most amazing brush cleaner — quick, effective, and honestly kind of magical.

And before we get into the how, let’s talk why clean brushes matter ⬇️
✔️ Cleaner brushes = better makeup application
✔️ No muddy colors or patchy blending
✔️ Helps prevent breakouts + irritation
✔️ Your makeup looks smoother, fresher, and more polished

Now let me show you how easy this is 👇

🧼 How I clean my brushes:
• Pour a small amount of the liquid into a bowl
• Dip just the tip of a dirty brush until it absorbs
• Swirl on a paper towel
• Keep swirling until what’s coming off is clear
• Done — brushes are clean and dry within minutes, ready to use

You will literally see the makeup coming out, and once you try this, there’s no going back.

I’ll also send links to some of my favorite makeup brushes that I use all the time — because great brushes + clean brushes = the best results. 💄✨

Save this for your next brush-cleaning moment or send it to a friend who needs this reminder. 😉

And tell me — what are you currently using to clean your makeup brushes? 👇

Starting the week with my top 5 favorite essentials! 💫 From game-changing makeup staples to perfect fall wardrobe pieces, here’s what I’m loving right now:

✨ Glow-Boosting Palette: The ultimate superpower product for a quick, radiant finish.
✨ Bronzy Blush Stick: A seamless, travel-friendly bronzy-taupe favorite for easy blending.
✨ Nordstrom Fall Shoes: Pure comfort meets autumn style.
✨ Lux-for-Less Blazer: High quality without the designer price tag (grab the navy before it sells out!).
✨ Versatile Scarf/Bandana: My go-to accessory for color and texture in every season.

Which piece would you style first? Let me know in the comments! 👇

The Lip Combo That STAYS PUT 🤎

A glossy lip stain that actually lasts? YES.

I’m using two Kulfi lip products—first the lip stain pencil to define my lips and cupid’s bow. You have a little time to smudge and soften it before it sets.

Then I go over it with the matching gloss stain. This brownie shade is SO good heading into fall and gives you that gorgeous glossy finish.

The best part? It stains the lips, so I’m not constantly touching up!

THE VIRAL CAMO PANTS ARE BACK! 🔥 And they’re UNDER $20!

I’m honestly not sure HOW they’re selling these for this price—but if you want them, DO NOT WAIT. They won’t last!

I bought the army green pair last year and LOVE them, so when I saw all the new colors, I couldn’t resist. They’re fun, easy to style and SO GOOD for the price.

And the BROWN?! 🤎 My favorite. Perfect heading into fall.

THE PRE-FALL JACKETS THAT WON’T STAY IN STOCK 🍂🔥

If there’s ONE thing to grab early for fall…it’s a great jacket. And these are SO GOOD, I predict sellouts.

From a fabulous funnel-neck denim jacket to the perfect short trench, lightweight windbreakers and those easy throw-on layers that instantly make an outfit look pulled together—I found SO many good ones.

Wear them now over a tank or tee, then layer them with sweaters and denim when the temperatures finally drop. These are the pieces that do all the work.

My advice? If you love one, DON’T WAIT. The best jackets always disappear first!

✨ IT'S BACK THIS WALMART BLAZER WON'T LASY✨

Ok ladies… this blazer is a moment. I spotted a designer version last year for hundreds more, and when I say this Walmart one is just as good — I mean it. The color, the structure, the sleeve detailing… everything about it feels elevated.

I sized up for a slightly oversized vibe, but you do you depending on the look you want.

SUMMER WORKWEAR… WITHOUT LOOKING TOO “WORKWEAR” 🤎

This matching shirt + skirt set is exactly what I love—easy enough for everyday, but with a few styling tricks, completely meeting-ready.

I rolled the sleeves, buttoned just ONE button and tucked one side to give the waist a little shape. Add a tailored belt and suddenly the whole look feels elevated.

The flowy skirt has pockets 🙌, hits at such a great length and can easily be worn separately. And come fall? Add a denim jacket and keep wearing it!

Finished with sandals, my cream laptop-friendly bag, sunglasses and red beads—because beads are having a MAJOR moment right now.

Would you wear this to a summer meeting?

NO NEEDLES NEEDED? You KNOW that got my attention. 👀

At 62, collagen loss is something I’m definitely paying attention to—and I’ve been testing this new Kiehl’s serum for the past 4–5 weeks.

Two pumps, morning + night, and I’m loving how lightweight, hydrating and plumping it feels. It gives my skin that subtle glow without feeling heavy, and I’m seeing a difference in how my skin looks and feels.

It’s designed to deliver hydration up to 10 layers deep into the skin’s surface and target visible signs associated with collagen loss. Kiehl’s has also studied the formula in people experiencing facial changes associated with GLP-1 use—which I found especially interesting.

Would you try a “no needle needed” serum?

Leopard Vest OOTD... because every wardrobe needs that one piece that instantly elevates an outfit. 🐆✨

I’ve been reaching for this leopard vest on repeat since last year, and it’s still one of the pieces I get asked about the most. It’s the perfect accent layer that takes even the simplest outfit up a notch.

Today I paired it with a black tank, lightweight parachute pants, and comfortable flats for an easy, effortless look that’s perfect for running around before the rain rolled in. I finished it off with a simple bag, my favorite Jane Win jewelry, a silver cuff, and my viral sunglasses.

Do you wear leopard as a neutral, or do you save it for a statement look?

One of my favorite things to buy is a piece I can wear in more than one season—and this jumper dress is exactly that.

For today’s meeting, I layered it over a simple white tee to stay warm in the air conditioning, but it’s just as cute worn on its own during these hot summer days.

What I love most is how versatile it is. Come fall, I’ll style it with boots, a lace bodysuit, a blouse, or even a turtleneck for a completely different look.

I finished the outfit with my favorite flats, an East West bag, simple chain necklaces, and sunglasses for an easy, polished look.
