Whenever you wonder if I put anything in my hair before styling it, the answer is YES. You need some type of styling product to help your hair hold and behave.

I start with mousse for volume and hold, then add heat protectant before bringing on the heat 🔥

Hair 360 Wednesday ✨ Dirty hair edition!

I only go about 2 days max between washes, but on day two, dry powder shampoo is definitely coming to the rescue.

Even with dry shampoo, I still wet my pixie back down and use the smallest amount of mousse to bring the style back to life. Because let’s face it… it’s still pixie hair, and it needs a little styling!

Now I want to know — what’s YOUR best dirty-hair styling tip? Drop it in the comments! 👇

Why does our hair suddenly start acting different as we get older? 😅

Perimenopause + menopause can change your texture, thickness, dryness and even how your hair styles.

If your hair doesn’t behave like it used to, you are definitely not alone.

Has your hair changed with age too?

I love how these shades wear, layer, and give my lips that extra pop of glossy shine. Wear them alone or all together — they pair perfectly either way.

Some days my hair cooperates in 5 minutes… other days, not so much. 😂

I’ve learned there comes a point where you just have to stop messing with it and let your hair do what it wants to do.

Short hair has a personality of its own, and sometimes the best styling trick is knowing when to leave it alone.

How do you know when you’re officially DONE messing with your hair?

#LTKgrwm #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

Not everyone wants the glow! ✨

If you’re someone who likes your makeup set, smooth and shine-free, a little matte setting powder can make all the difference. I use a light hand, especially on mature skin, and focus it where I tend to get shiny.

Matte without looking heavy. That’s the goal. 🤍

Are you team GLOW or team MATTE?

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize

Short hair doesn’t have to be complicated. The Wavytalk Pencil makes it easy: clamp, hold, style, and go. ✨

⏱️ Let’s time my pixie!

I broke down every step of styling my hair and start to finish, just a little over 5 minutes. And yes, that included a coffee break. ☕️😂

Morning skincare staples ✨

Makeup or no makeup, these are the products I reach for every single morning. I love having a simple routine with products I know my skin loves? and that I’ll actually stick with!

We all have those can’t-skip skincare staples, what’s one product you use every single day? 👇

Summer vacation vibes, but make it eyeshadow. ☀️🌴✨

I wanted this look to feel warm, effortless and a little sun-kissed, so I played with some gorgeous summer inspired shades and kept the application simple.

And you do not need expensive brushes to get a pretty eye look! Affordable brushes + the right placement can make all the difference.

Think sandy neutrals, warm sunset tones and just enough shimmer to catch the light. Basically, vacation on your eyes, even if you’re staying home. 😂

Would you wear these colors on your next summer getaway? 👇

#LTKBeauty #LTKOver40 #LTKmorningroutine

I’ll never understand the comment, “A pixie is WAY too much work.”

Because for me? It’s the exact opposite.

Give me my Wavytalk Pencil, a little Redken Pliable Paste, a few minutes to play with it and I’m good to go. 🙌

The secret to short hair isn’t spending forever styling it, it’s finding the right tools and products that work for YOUR hair.

And I don’t care what anybody says…I LOVE having my pixie. ✂️🤍 Easy, fun, a little sassy, and 100% me.

Short hair girls, are you team PIXIE for life? 👇

Planning ahead is one of the best things you can do for a big event. 💙

I know what you’re thinking…why use the Wavytalk Cool Curl Pro when my hair is already straight? Because straight doesn’t have to mean flat!

Planning my Mother of the Groom outfit ended up being one of the easiest parts of wedding planning. 💙 I found the dress early, added the perfect shoes, and finished the look with simple, elegant earrings.

#LTKgrwm #LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty

Makeup in your 50s doesn’t always play by the same rules as it did in your 20s. ✨

One of my favorite under-eye tricks is to spray a little setting spray onto my fingertips and gently tap it under the eyes. If needed, I’ll add a light dusting of blurring powder, followed by one more tap of setting spray.

The goal? A smoother, more natural-looking under-eye that doesn’t feel heavy or dry.
