Testing foundations on mature skin is my new hobby 😅

Pink is IN right now 💗

I couldn’t find the exact links for these (they’re from a couple years ago), but I found some really similar options!

You can also try searching on Poshmark if you want the exact set that’s usually where the good finds are 👀

New favorite travel find ✨
We’re headed to Disney next month for my daughter’s 21st birthday, so I was on the hunt for cute walking shoes that could actually survive a full park day.

These Birkenstocks are it. Comfortable, supportive, and actually cute with everything.

Quick little get ready with me while I tell you about something that happened yesterday.

I had to go in for pre-ops again because I missed the window by two days, which was a bit of a bummer… but honestly something really sweet happened while I was there. The woman doing my pre-ops asked if she could pray for me, and I said, “Yes girl, please pray for me.” 🥹

It was just one of those little moments that reminds you how kind people can be and how God shows up in the most unexpected places.

Also while we’re here… I’m using my budget-friendly L’Oréal lotion, my Colorescience foundation, my new favorite blush from Charlotte Tilbury, and y’all… if you don’t have these lashes yet, what are you doing? 😂

Burn girls… RUN TO GRAB EVERYTHING @Vuori US that is Regatta Blue!

Five minute face, real life edition. Quick, easy, and not draining your bank account.

Here’s the exact order:
1. L’Oréal Glowy Lotion – this gives that fresh, lit from within look without a heavy foundation.
2. Colorescience – lightweight coverage and protection in one step.
3. Charlotte Tilbury blush stick – tap it on cheeks for instant color and blend with your fingers.
4. Westman Atelier lashes or your favorite mascara – just enough to open up the eyes.
5. IT Cosmetics tiny brush for your lower lashes – the little detail that pulls everything together.

That’s it. Five minutes and out the door, but you still look put together.

Save this for the mornings when you need to look alive fast.

You know those days when you leave the house at 5am and don’t get back until dinner?
Gym ➡️ work ➡️ errands ➡️ kid pickup ➡️ life.

That’s exactly why I keep 4AM Sheets everywhere.

• In my gym bag (my Burn girls get it 😅)
• In my car
• In my carry-on for work trips
• Even in my purse for those “I just need to feel human again” moments

They’re not your typical face wipes. One sheet and it’s a full refresh. Sweat, makeup, long day energy… gone. Skin feels clean, not stripped.

And yes… they are ELITE for travel. Business trips. Weekend getaways. Or that long international flight when you wake up feeling like you’ve been living in recycled air for 12 hours.

It’s the easiest glow-up in 30 seconds.

If you’re constantly on the go like me, you need these in your routine. Stock up and keep them everywhere. You’ll use them way more than you think. ✨

GRWM while I give you the update I did not want to give.

Shoulder recovery has not been smooth… and now I’ve torn the bicep in the SAME arm I just had surgery on.

Not something new.
The same arm.

I wish I could tell you I responded calmly and spiritually mature right away. I didn’t. I was frustrated. Sad. Honestly just tired of feeling like I’m starting over.

But I keep coming back to this:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”
Psalm 46:10

And this one has been sitting heavy on my heart:
“Consider it pure joy… whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.”
James 1:2–3

I don’t fully understand the lesson yet.
But I do know God wastes nothing. Not pain. Not setbacks. Not delays.

So while I’m processing all of that… we’re blending through it.

Wearing my favorite Dior foundation because she stays faithful.
Blush from Hourglass is still undefeated.
Trying a new Tarte foundation brush and she’s actually doing her thing.

Healing season. Again.
But peace over panic this time.

Trying out the Missha BB cream today. It went on really nice at first, but as the day went on it started to feel pretty dry. So this one will be going back.

Also, if you can stick with me through my ADD moments and random squirrel thoughts, you might actually be a little entertained along the way 🤪

Going back to my fav..

Product test verdict: loved it.

I put this on in the morning and didn’t think about it again all day, which honestly says everything. It stayed put, wore beautifully, evened out my skin, and still felt light and comfortable hours later.

Is it pricey? Yes.
Is it earning a permanent spot in my rotation anyway? Also yes.

Sometimes the products that just work are worth it. This one surprised me in the best way.

Medicube PDRN Mask for the WIN!!

Trying foundations under $50. Today we’re testing MILK and honestly it did pretty well for no primer at all.

#LTKBeauty

Get ready with me 🤍
Talking through everything I used today and keeping it real like always.

Some days I’m low maintenance, some days I’m excited to get a little glow up, and today was somewhere in between. No filters, no pretending. Just what I actually reached for and why.

These are a mix of my favorite products from Sephora, Ulta, and Amazon. Things I actually use, actually repurchase, and actually like. If I don’t love something, you already know I’ll tell you.

Sharing what works for me, not selling a fantasy.

Tell me why a T-shirt just changed my whole mood.
nuuds understood the assignment with this one.
Thick, flattering, off the shoulder moment and suddenly it’s not “just a tee.”
Easy, elevated, and living in this

Face done before my coffee gets cold ☕️

Trying the Hourglass primer for those days when you don’t have time for all four steps of the POV primer set. This is a great one-step option when life is moving fast but you still want your skin to look good.

Paired it with my go-to Victoria Beckham foundation, Milk highlighter, Hourglass blush, and Iconic London setting spray.

From bare face to out the door in under seven minutes and it still looks polished. Busy mornings approved. ✨

Y’all kept asking, so here they are 🤍
My very Southern magnolia pajamas that I’m officially obsessed with. Soft, comfy, and just cute enough to make lounging feel a little put together. I grabbed them from Nordstrom and they’re even better in person.

Dropping the link here for anyone who wants a pair because honestly, you need these in your life 🌸

This year I decided my sleep deserves better so the ratty tees are retired. Only nice pajamas from here on out. Sharing my favorites in my LTK.

Trying something new today and had to share 🤍 I’m testing out the Dior foundation and honestly… I’m impressed so far. It feels lightweight, blends easily, and my skin still looks like skin which is always the goal. I’ll keep wearing it and report back, but first impression is definitely a yes.
