BEST ACTIVEWEAR LEGGINGS

I SWEAR BY CARBON 38. Why? The craftsmanship and fabric they use will outlast the apocalypse. I’ve had this set for over two years and I’ve had some from their same in-house line that are nearly a decade old.

The melt collection feels like literal butter on your body and gives you that naked feeling with the support you need. Think your Define leggings but infinitely better.

I wear a size XS and take a size 4 bottoms in Lululemon.

BETTER THAN RHODE

If you’ve been personally victimized by the Rhode blush, this blush stick is the one for you! It won’t rip your foundation off or disrupt any of your make up and glides on easily over anything from tinted moisturizer to more full coverage foundations. It’s also a two and one stick one side as a highlighter, and the other side is the blush.

It’s a mega bang for your buck and it lives full-time in my gym bag so as to not take up extra space in my gym beauty bag.

CLASSIC WARDROBE, STAPLES THAT ARE GREAT FOR BUSINESS TRAVEL OR ALL DAY WEAR

I live in this classic black mock neck maxi dress from club Monaco, which I purchased from my rent. The runway subscription for under $60. One of my favorite money, saving hacks for building a high-quality wardrobe is using your rent. The runway subscription to buy pieces when they go on a flash sale. This dress looks perfect under blazers by itself during the summer and styled with shawls or scarves.

SKINCARE FOR WHEN YOU’RE IN A RUSH

These two skincare products are like 5 to 7 products in one! If you’re a busy mom or corporate queen, the serum and facial treatment essence will help you hit all your problems spots: improving texture, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dry skin, and so much more.

The SK-II facial treatment essence is a skin care, powerhouse full of antioxidants that helped target fine lines, dark spots, dullness, dry skin and uneven texture. I use it every morning.

McLarren double serum is a two and one formula that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible by targeting two types of aging, chronological and environmental. It’s like using 3 to 5 different serums on your face. It firms lifts and reduce wrinkles and instantly strengthens your skin moisture barrier making it perfect for winter skin. You’ll see a boost in your skin radiance slight minimization of your pores and more even skin texture.

MY FAVORITE HOME HACK WHEN I WAS UNEMPLOYED AND ON A BUDGET

using wax warmers to reheat the leftover wax from my favorite candles helped me stretch each candle to an overall burn time of almost 3 months!

You can do this with your more expensive candles or if you’re on a budget get an affordable candle like the ones that I normally get from Trader Joe’s that are $3.99! Regardless of what candle it is it’ll last you up to three months by reheating the wax

The following candle wax warmers are my favorite ones and they look super chic with any decor.

BEST FRESH DOG FOOD

Using this nutrient blend will help you cook fresh food for your dog that’s infinitely cheaper than any of the fresh sub subscription dog food on the market.

It takes me roughly an hour and a half to cook once a month for my dog. The cost ends up coming down to being cheaper than kibble!

HOW TO STORE COFFEE PODS IN A TINY APARTMENT

This Nespresso pod Lazy Susan saves an incredible amount of counter space which is key living in a tiny New York City apartment! It can hold up to 3 1/2 sleeves of pods and cuts down on the bulk in your cabinet cabinets.

I prefer it over the flat lay pod storage. That’s also out there. Horizontal space is at a premium!

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON TRENDY WARDROBE PIECES

Rent the Runway is the only place I get my trendy wardrobe items from because I can return them every two weeks and swap it out with something else. I used to spend anywhere between two to $400 on trendy items from fast fashion stores like Zara and once I replaced those specific items with a portion of my RTR subscription slots, my fashion spending dropped nearly in half.

Linked this week’s rentals here along with my absolute favorite silky robe here!

BEST PILATES WRAP TOP AND PINK ACTIVEWEAR SET

I adore this wrap top from Carbon38 as its form fitting without ties, making it super comfy for classes. I hate laying on the knotted ones! I’m wearing a size S and normally a size 6 in Lulu tops.

This perfect pink matching set from Amazon is under $35 for each piece and looks just like the Alo Bra and Align leggings.

#LTKfitnessgoals #LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKActive

MY FAVORITE AFFORDABLE ACTIVEWEAR SET FOR PILATES

This chalky pink active Weir set from Amazon feels exactly like Lululemon align and it looks so cute in Pilates classes! I pair it with this white wrap top that’s also from Amazon and under $30! Each piece of the active wear that is also under $30.

I’m also a huge fan of these ruffled ankle socks with grips, they have little cherries and bows on them and come in a two pack with another pink pair with bows.

MY HAIR ESSENTIALS FOR A COCKTAILS PARTY OR HOLIDAY BALL

The following products are my holy grails when it comes to styling my hair for holiday parties, and keeping my fine and thick hair strands holding whatever style I choose.

It all starts with choosing an incredible line of shampoo and conditioner, and prepping your hair. I always use the well repair spray as it’s a great foundation for heat styling.

My new ultimate favorite includes living proof’s new glossing treatment, which you use as your last step in your shower routine. My hair is literally blinding at this point!

FAVORITE FALL & WINTER COAT

This mid length wool coat from Quince is the more luxurious yet affordable version of the OG J. Crew stadium coat.

I love that the arms are more relaxed, making it easy to slip on over a workwear fit including a blazer and bulky sweater or turtleneck.

It’s slim enough to make a great travel companion without sacrificing warmth.

SMARTEST TRAVEL MUST HAVES FOR YOUR CARRY ON PERSONAL ITEM

This insanely lightweight and slim tote is basically a clown car: it can fit half a carry on into it! I manage a 15 inch MacBook Pro, client decks, snacks, a beauty pouch with all my daily makeup, skincare, and hair essentials to survive a day of travel, and more.

The most important piece is this specific portable charger. It has all the major charging types: USB, C, Lightning and can fully charge 2 iPhones.

I’ve never gone below 45% charging my phone and AirPods. It can also plug in a regular outlet to recharge itself. No extra cords!

COMFY PANTS FOR THE OFFICE

I live in these wide leg trousers at least once a week during the fall and winter, and honestly, year-round. They look like slacks but feel like your favorite pair of wide leg PJs with a bit more structure.

I also love trying new trendy styles to experiment with my personal style by using rent the runway. This gorgeous white button down with a bandeau detailing get so many compliments in the office and can also be worn casually.

HOW TO GET RID OF DEEP ACNE FAST

One of the best investments I ever made for my skin was getting a high frequency wand. This is something that my aestheticians have been using on me since I was in high school when I had a really bad cystic acne.

It’s one of the best tools to have at home and create your own at home med spa in between treatments with your provider. I pull it out, especially after my period when breakouts are on high! These deep sits went away in a couple of days after continued use of this wand you see right here.

It also has an attachment for your hair, which I use after a blowout. It helps stimulate growth and keeps your scalp healthy. You can either choose a tool that has argon or neon. I currently use the neon one. The argon has also been shown to be more effective for acne.

SEPHORA SALE WORTHY INVESTMENTS: HAIR STYLING PRODUCTS FOR FINE & BLEACHED HAIR

These products are my most trusted to use on my color treated m, bleached hair and have kept my hair healthy after being bleached for almost 7 years.

The K18 hair mask is crucial for anyone with color treated hair as it actually repairs your hair on a molecular level due to damage from coloring.

I also swear by Fenty, beauty for hydrating products and living proof for repair product products. Their hair gloss was a new discovery this year: my hair is insanely shiny, and it lasts for over a week with just one use.

The Oribe Superfine hairspray is worth the splurge, it’s truly fine yet packs a punch and keeping your hairstyle in line. It helps my Dyson curls last days, even on fine hair.

Shampoo, conditioner, hair, mask, hairspray styling tools, hair oil, leave in treatment

SEPHORA SALE WORTHY INVESTMENTS: PRODUCTS WORTH THE SPLURGE

I wear this Prada lip balm every day as it’s a nice alternative to lipstick which requires constant reapplication. It’s also a great idea budget wise as it allows for refills at a discounted price! The rest of these products are also incredible.

They include concealer that’s acne friendly AND covers without looking caked on, perfume that’s elegant and versatile and gets compliments from both men and women, blush that looks natural on any skin tone, my Dyson Airdrop that I use DAILY on straight fine hair (holds style), and so much more including serums that actually give results.

SEPHORA SALE WORTHY INVESTMENTS: VALUE SIZE & SETS

The best way to ensure you spend the absolute LEAST annually is to buy the value size versions and refill your existing bottles. I’ve been refilling my Ouai one for nearly 5 years now! These value size ones and gift sets get you the most bang for your buck on dry shampoo, shower oil, shampoo and conditioner, body wash, and hypochlorous acid. I swear this refillable dry shampoo from Crown Affair will last you well over a year!

#LTKSaleAlert #LTKFindsUnder100 #LTKBeauty

SEPHORA SALE WORTHY INVESTMENTS: MAKEUP FOR EVERYDAY & SPECIAL EVENTS

I wear the following foundations, blush, eye palettes, face palettes, mascara, brow gel, setting powder, and setting spray nearly daily. My favorite hack for spending well under $50 for designer foundation (these actually look better in photos and survive a full day or night) is this Prada refillable foundation. The refill is $50 and with the sale, you get it much cheaper. Buy it once at $70 plus the sale, and then well under $50!

I love this red blush: the Patrick Ta blush and eyeshadow palettes are absolutely worth if for the amount of product you get from them / pigment ratio. The only time I use something else is traveling to the gym or in a carry on.

#LTKBeauty #LTKSaleAlert

SEPHORA SALE WORTHY INVESTMENTS FOR SKINCARE

I’ve used the following products for at least a year (most well over 5) and trust them implicitly! These moisturizers, AHA BHA toners, SPF 50 and SPF 40, exfoliants, body oil shower wash, eye patches, glow and bronzing drops, and eye creams are incredible for anti aging, acne prone skin, combination skin, and oily skin.

TALL GIRL FRIENDLY WEDDING GUEST DRESS

I swear by MacDuggal for not only elegant and timeless wedding guest dresses but also because they’re tall girl, friendly! I am 5 foot 9 and able to wear heels with this dress without it being too short. These silver platform heels add an additional 6 inches and the ham is still perfect even though I lost most of the train in the back.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO GET READY FOR WORK AT THE GYM: SKINCARE & MAKEUP EDITION

If you think it’s too stressful to carry everything that you need with you to get ready in the morning to include your skin care and make up and hair products, I’m here to tell you that you can do it with everything you see here in one tiny pouch. Of course, bring your own brush!

Step one is building a travel size version of everything you already use and love. Bonus points if the full size is small enough to fit in a travel pouch yep, I’m looking at you, Versed skin tint!

This is the smartest time to build your travel size make up and skin care set as the Sephora sale is coming up on November 4th. Save this post and come back to it when you’re ready to shop!

The Versed skin tint is my favorite foundation at the moment. You should know that I am an Armani gal, and have been using their wildly expensive foundation for years. This $20 version from versed is nearly identical in formula when it comes to the feeling on your skin and the coverage level, which is buildable.

The second most important tip to building a kitchen sink and a tiny pouch is finding products that pull double or triple duty. The sunscreen by Uktra Violette has been my go to for about six months because it’s wildly effective has a little to no white cast and acts as a moisturizer, skin primer, and SPF all in one!

My new favorite setting spray by Idun will change your life! If you’ve been heartbroken that the OG formula for all nighter is gone, this is going to be your replacement. My makeup has stayed on in wildly, humid heat and through a 12 hour workday.

I also prefer products that are slim, which is what makes these elf contour and blush tubes so convenient. They fit everywhere.

BEST PILATES WRAP TOP

I’ve tried quite a few over the years and this one is the best fitting one I’ve ever tried! No shock that it’s from carbon 38. It conforms to your body shape perfectly whether you’re more curvy or straight.

The best part about the carbon 38 melt fabric is the fact that it’s so durable and can last you over a decade if you care for it properly. The colors never fade. I snag this for $22 in the archive sale last week however it’s still on sale, although much less savings. It’s now under $100.

Astoria activewear has become a fast favorite of mine, this gingham set is incredibly cute and gets tons of compliments in classes. Unintentionally went for a Dorothy look today 😂 the fit runs a bit small I’m wearing a size medium in the bra top as a size 32D bust and wearing a size small in the bottoms when I normally take a size 4 in lululemon or extra small and CRZ. Would recommend taking a size up in all of Astoria active wears pieces carbon 38 runs true to size and this is a size small in the wrap top.
