I’m partnering with @amazon to share some of my go-to favorites that I’ll be restocking during their Big Spring Sale 🌸

If you’ve been waiting to grab those everyday essentials or try a few new finds, this is honestly the time to do it. I always use this sale to stock up on the things I already love and use on repeat.

I’ve rounded up some of my favorites for you, and everything is linked in my LTK so it’s super easy to find 🤍

The sale runs from March 25–30, so definitely don’t wait too long if something’s been on your list!

Maybelline Colossal Bubble has been in my top 5 mascaras for almost a year… and there’s a reason for that 👀

I’m breaking down my top 4 reasons why I keep reaching for this one, because it just checks all the boxes. If you want volume, lift, and lashes that actually show up without feeling heavy… this is it.

Okay wait… a setting spray with SPF?? ☀️✨

This is the Kopari Sunglaze, and it might be a summer essential. It sets your makeup, gives you that glowy finish, and protects your skin with SPF while being sweat + water resistant. I threw this on before heading to a baseball game and it came in clutch.

If you’re looking for a great foundation for mature skin, this one is at the top of my list.

The Tarte Timeless Hydrating Foundation has more of a serum-like feel, so it goes on really smooth and doesn’t feel heavy or cakey on the skin.

It’s also buildable, so you can keep it light or add more coverage depending on what you want, and it doesn’t settle into fine lines like a lot of foundations can.

It’s one of those foundations that gives you coverage while still looking like skin.

#LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty #LTKOver40

At this point… this is basically my daily uniform 😂

My favorite oversized Comfrt camo tee + these Halara 2-in-1 shorts that I wear on repeat. They’re super sporty, comfy, and just easy to throw on every day.

Sizing:
• Tee – wearing an XL for an oversized fit (normally a large)
• Shorts – wearing an XL (I’m usually a 12/14)

Linked everything here.

Trying a new self-tanner today and y’all… I was not expecting to be this impressed 👀

This is the @Loving Tan US 10 Minute Express Self-Tanning Smoothing Body Mask, and as someone who has tried a lot of self-tanners, this one genuinely surprised me. The color, the ease, the finish… it’s giving golden goddess with minimal effort and we love that.

If you’re a self-tan girl, you’re gonna want to see this one.

Shop it over on my LTK 🤍

As someone who’s 41 and very picky about concealer, this was a real test… and NYX Cosmetics Wonder Snatch passed 👏

This formula is super creamy, lightweight, and gives great coverage without settling into my fine lines (which is the biggest thing for me). It has 24-hour hydration, a little goes a long way, but it’s still buildable depending on how much coverage you want. Honestly, I’m impressed.

Part 2 of my full face of Tarte in honor of the LTK Spring Sale.

Right now you can get 35% off Tarte through LTK, but the sale only lasts through March 15, so we’re down to the final day.

Finishing up this full glam look and linking all the products I used here in case you want to shop the sale before it ends.

#LTKSpringSale #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

Doing a full face of @Tarte today in honor of the LTK Spring Sale because Tarte is currently 35% off when you shop through LTK.

The sale only runs through March 15, so we basically have one more day to shop.

Today’s look is a full beat glam moment — foundation, eyeshadow, the whole thing. Linking everything I used here so you can grab it while the sale is still going.

#LTKSpringSale #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

One of my late-night Amazon purchases that actually turned out to be a good one 😂

I kept seeing videos of this waist twister exercise board and thought it looked like a fun way to move my body a little more throughout the day… and honestly it is.

If you’re like me and trying to get more movement in but don’t want it to feel like a full workout, this is actually really fun to use. Super easy to hop on for a few minutes here and there.

Part 2: In honor of the LTK Spring Sale, I did a full face using some of my favorite Tarte makeup ✨

Right now for a limited time, you can get 35% off Tarte when you shop through LTK, which is honestly such a good deal because Tarte rarely discounts this much.

Today’s look is more of a no-makeup makeup vibe, and I’m linking all the products I used so you can easily shop them while the sale is going on.

If you’ve been wanting to try Tarte or restock your favorites, this is definitely the time to do it.

LTK is having their Spring Sale right now and one of the featured brands is Tarte 🙌

You can get 35% off Tarte when you shop through LTK, which honestly is a huge deal because Tarte almost never discounts this much.

The important thing to know is that this discount is only available when you shop through LTK, so you won’t see the same price if you go directly to their website.

I linked some of my favorite Tarte products here so you can easily find them during the sale. 35% off is honestly kind of insane.

Shop through LTK to get the discount.

My favorite morning under-eye masks ✨

These are the @drmtlgy Brightening / Awaken Refresh Eye Masks, and I’m currently on my second round of them because I love them that much.

I’ve tried a lot of eye masks that are cute and fun but don’t really do anything… these are ones where I actually see a difference in my under-eye area. They help brighten and make me look way more awake in the morning.

I’m sharing a before and after because I feel like that’s what really shows how well they work.

Proof that I don’t only wear oversized tees every day 😂

Pulled this slightly cropped striped top out of my closet (Amazon find from last year) and remembered how comfy and cute it is. Paired it with my Halara shorts that I basically live in once it hits 80°+ outside.

Also just a reminder that these shorts aren’t just for oversized tees you can definitely cutesy them up too.

Sizing:
• Top – wearing a large (it’s an oversized fit)
• Halara shorts – wearing an XL. I’m usually a 12/14 in pants

#LTKOver40 #LTKMidsize #LTKootd

My current comfy everyday outfit that I’ve been living in lately.

I got a lot of questions about sizing, so here’s what I’m wearing:
• COMFRT tee – size XL for an oversized fit. I normally wear a large in t-shirts.
• Halara shorts – size XL. For reference I’m usually around a 12–14 in pants.

Both pieces are super comfy and easy for everyday wear.

My spring bedding refresh 🌿

I love using duvet covers and pillow covers to change my bedding seasonally. It’s such an easy way to decorate without buying a whole new comforter every time.

My bed is honestly my favorite place in the house to decorate, and I’m obsessed with how this spring setup turned out.

Most of this bedding is from Amazon, and the cozy blanket at the end of the bed is from COMFRT.

Linked everything here.

Had a ton of questions about my chicken boots 🐔

They’re waterproof deck boots, super comfortable, and perfect for running outside to the coop, yard work, or rainy days. I love that they’re actually cute too the leopard print makes them way more fun than regular rain boots.

Monday makeup is back on the menu 💄

Trying a few new things today and bringing back a few tried and trues. We’ve got RMS, Saie, Dibs, Maybelline, e.l.f., and I tried a YSL mascara for the first time… and let me just say, I get the hype now.

Makeup has honestly been one of the things that’s helped me feel like me again. The first time I went through breast cancer, I dove back into makeup and never looked back. So getting back into my little Monday makeup routine just feels right.

@DIBS Beauty @Saie

#LTKOver40 #LTKselfcare #LTKBeauty

Living in this combo lately 🙌

This oversized camo tee from Comfrt + my favorite Halara shorts have been my go-to comfy outfit. The shirt is perfectly oversized and the shorts are lightweight, stretchy, and super comfortable for everyday wear.

Linked both here 🤍

#LTKootd #LTKMidsize #LTKOver40

As a skin tint girly in my 40s, e.l.f.’s Halo Glow Skin Tint is one I keep reaching for. It evens out my skin tone without feeling heavy, helps with the redness from my rosacea, and gives the prettiest dewy glow. A little goes a long way, and I love that it has SPF and is water-resistant up to 80 minutes. Perfect for that fresh summer skin look.

#LTKOver40 #LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare

These Clean Skin Club towels have been part of my skincare routine for almost 2 years and I swear they’ve been a game changer for my skin.

Regular washcloths can hold bacteria even after washing, and I noticed my skin improved once I switched to these disposable face towels.

They’re:
• super soft
• really durable (they don’t tear when wet)
• great for drying your face or removing makeup
• way more hygienic than reusing a towel

You can use them wet or dry and one towel goes a long way. I also linked the bamboo holder I keep mine in on my counter.

If you struggle with breakouts or sensitive skin, these are 100% worth trying.

Wild Saturday night over here… shutting the house down at 5:30, showing you the little bathroom updates we did today, and then it’s time for an everything shower and bed. Cozy nights in are kind of my favorite anyway. Come spend the evening with me.

#LTKHome #LTKvlog #LTKOver40

Finally linking the adjustable bed frame I get asked about all the time. This is hands down one of the best things I’ve ever bought for myself. You can adjust the head and feet, it has a vibration/massage feature, and it makes getting comfortable in bed so much easier. If you’ve ever thought about getting an adjustable base… this is your sign.

#LTKHome

If you want a lightweight cordless vacuum that actually works on tile, rugs, AND carpet, this one has been so good.

✔️ cordless
✔️ super lightweight
✔️ great for quick daily cleaning

It’s normally $200 but HSN has it on sale for $149 today.

Linking it here in case you want to grab it before the sale ends.

Vacuum was gifted.

#LTKSpringSale #LTKHome #LTKOver40

As your Thin Lip Bestie, I’m always on the hunt for lip liners that actually make our lips look good… and the L’Oréal Paris Blur Filler understood the assignment. I’m wearing shade Mocha Mousse and the soft blurring formula makes it so easy to line, shape, and slightly contour without looking harsh. Smooth, diffused, and definitely Thin Lip Bestie approved.

#LTKBeauty #LTKselfcare #LTKOver40

Little extension of Monday Makeup today. 💄

Over the years, and especially now in my 40s, I’ve learned a few things about what makeup works for my face and what definitely does not. From primers to blush placement to mascara tricks, these are just some of the little things that have made the biggest difference for me.

Nothing fancy, just real things I’ve picked up along the way that make getting ready a little easier.

Monday makeup = tried & true edition 💄✨

Today we stuck with the staples. Dibs Love Beam Perfector (primer), Love Beam Setting Powder, and their blush/bronzer stick because you already know I love a Dibs moment. Colossal Bubble for the lashes (forever a fave), e.l.f. Halo Glow Skin Tint for that glowy skin I’ve been loving lately, and a mauve NYX Lip IV stain to finish it off.

Nothing too wild today just the products that consistently show up and do what they need to do.

Tomorrow I’ll walk you how I’ve mastered this routine 👀

Makeup found me again when I needed it the most. 🤍

At 38, during my first round with breast cancer, I didn’t feel like myself. After my double mastectomy, I chose to go flat… and I struggled to feel pretty for a while.

So I picked my brushes back up. And somewhere in the middle of blending and experimenting and trying new things, I started to feel like me again.

Now at 41, makeup is still one of my favorite forms of therapy. Today I’m walking you through my go-to no-makeup makeup look the one that makes me feel polished, confident, and put together without trying too hard.

Lipstick on my teeth? Yes. Confidence? Also yes. 💄😂

Thin lip girl problems, okay?! We’re calling it out and moving on because the products in this week’s On Repeat are too good not to share.

✨ A Dibs cheek stain I cannot stop using
✨ A Supergoop tinted SPF that makes my skin look SO good
✨ And my current obsession: a double lip stain combo that just hits every time

Teeth drama aside… the glow is glowing. 💁🏻‍♀️

It’s Thin Lip Bestie Friday and this combo is RICH. 💄✨

We’re lining (or fully filling 👀) with Lip Lingerie Liner Shade 7 (Cuff Me) and topping it with Lip IV Shade 9 (Blush Rush) for the ultimate double-stain moment.

Lip Lingerie gives you that sculpted, precise base wear it as a liner, contour, or all-over stain. Then Lip IV goes on super glossy and wet-looking before fading into the prettiest stain. The result? A juicy, fuller-looking lip that lasts and just keeps getting better throughout the day.

Shade 7 + Shade 9 together = bold, beautiful, and absolutely Thin Lip Bestie approved. 💋
