Natural pregnancy photos, they are some of my faves. I do makeup, hair and photos for the best mommies to be in Arizona. 🤍 McKenna’s look here is smoky on the eyes, natural on the rest of the face. I used R + Co products for her hair and used a large barrel curling iron to give her these wispy, free flowing waves. The perfect mix of glam, rock and roll and motherhood. 🦄 Click the links below to get your hands on what I used for this look! The lip combo was my fave on her too. It’s Charlotte Tilbury in Pillow Talk Fair plus CT Lip gloss. 💞

✨ Timeless elegance, without the worry.
These nearly 4” marble ornaments are hand-swirled in soft vintage white and gold — each one completely unique. Their shatterproof design means you get all the luxury of heirloom glass without the stress.
I love how they catch the light on the tree — subtle, classic, and so refined. Perfect for anyone curating a high-end, neutral Christmas look this year.

Chicken Alfredo in the All Clad cookware tonight. I have to say that All Clad is one of the most reliable cookware brands you’ll find. After awhile it will start to show significant signs of wear, but the product itself will last for a long time. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s not the most aesthetically pleasing cookware, but it’ll probably outlast most of the trendy pieces.

Go for the best value with a set. I have an induction oven, so I get the HA1 10 piece nonstick set from Williams-Sonoma. It’s everything you’ll need to make anything for your family or to host guests for dinner. Definitely worth a look before the holiday madness starts.

Afternoon sips of green juice! The Nama J2 juicer is the most advanced, incredible machine I’ve ever juiced with! After years of using a centrifugal one, I am so blessed to be starting a journey with a slow masticating beauty like this. 😻

Here’s what to know:

It’s quiet, allowing you to juice to your heart’s content without waking up the baby, your husband or neighbors.

The juice pulp is super dry, letting you know that the juicer is truly extracting all the juice and nutrients that you need.

Cleanup, though a necessary step, takes only about five minutes. Easier than you think!

I am looking forward to making all the beautiful and healthy juices and even nut milks in this machine. I’ll take you along with me. If you have the Nama already, juice along with me an send me recipes! If you’re on the fence about this machine, hop on over as soon as you’re able, this is the real deal. 😻 Makes the perfect gift for the juicer in your life, especially if the juicer is you. Treat yourself!

Still the most comfortable and cute shoes for work and lounging days. ♥️ They’re easy to slip on and take off, and they’re honestly the shoes they get me the most compliments when I’m out working or shopping. I love the color rose (pictured here), but I also love that there are so many other colorways to choose from. I want them all, lol. Shop them at this link!

Time to bust these candles out again. The ultimate holiday welcome is the scent of these amazing candles. Fresh and crisp, it smells like the forest. They burn so cleanly and are so aesthetically pleasing. I see them at my local fine food store an I want to buy them fifteen times over. Linking them here, they’re from Thymes!

This Christmas tree is a nod to a simpler and softer style. Hanging crystal chandelier ornaments on a grand, Victorian style tree and elevated for all to see. This tree is a Balsam Hill classic, one that’s so lush and full of traditional green tips to hang ornaments from. If you’re looking for a faux Christmas tree that will last a long time and get more beautiful every year, this one is for you.

I really suggest getting your tree prelit! I usually love a white or warm white light situation, but the Twinkly lights are so so good. There are so many ways to customize their look and it’s such a fun experience to share with your kids and family members. You can either buy the tree with Twinkly lights hand strung, or you can could get an unlit tree and string them yourself! Linking them both here. ❤️

Glitter ornaments, but make them yourself! These DIY options are both going on my trees this year, I’m just not sure which one I like better. What do you think? Glittery shatterproof ornament, or textured glitter on a styrofoam base? The glitter I use is what you need, it’s from Michael’s and it’s absolutely stunning. A few other must haves for crafting are linked here too. Stock up and have fun creating from now until December!

This season, take dinner outside with an Ooni pizza oven. Once you’ve made pizza at home, you’ll never want to go to a restaurant for it again! The craftsmanship and detail of this oven is unparalleled. It’s an investment that will make your dinners, parties, events and more super special. The setup is easy, just hook it up to a propane tank and you’re good to go! There are essential accessories that in going to link here so that you can get started right away. The aluminum and bamboo peel are both necessary. Maybe I’ll make an additional video sharing why.♥️ I made a pesto and cheese pie tonight and it was gone in 60 seconds. 🤣

The Bible Study by The Band Sunday is the perfect accompaniment to your physical Bible. It’s written to help you read and understand the Bible in one year. I highly recommend getting both books, the New and Old Testament. One will help you understand the other and vice versa. Writing and reading together will really deepen your knowledge and keep you focused. Find both on Amazon as a set! Linking it below for you. ♥️

#LTKOver40 #LTKFamily #LTKFindsUnder100

Studying the Bible helps me every day. I love that mine has four different translations side by side. When I need to understand certain words or parts, I can quickly switch over to another translation on the same page instead of looking it up in my phone. Definitely a great resource with which to study and understand the Word! There’s nothing like having a physical Bible, and this one is under 50 dollars!

A few products that will hold your brows in place, soften pencil or brow powder and create a natural look! I like to use Anastasia Beverly Hills wax and the Perfect Brow Pencil.

The glitter every crafter needs in their kit for ornament making! This comes from Michael’s and is so beautiful. Make sure to get the extra fine version for a look like this, but know that there are chunky and standard versions if you prefer. Take a look at all the other colors too and get creative! I am using the shatterproof ornaments, but Michael’s has glass ones too. Make a ton of beautiful New Year’s ornaments and pop them on your tree for a few days. So gorgeous to look at!

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin bronzer is so nice! My favorite is still the Airbrush Flawless, but this one is too different to compare. It’s got a creamy and silky feel, an it blends really well. Comes in the same four shades as the Airbrush, so it covers a wide range of skin tones. This is one you’ll use for a long time, and a primary staple of your makeup kit. Way worth it!

Late nights with my Cricut Maker 4. I love this cutting machine so much! I love that in able to customize absolutely everything and let my creativity flow. I’m making Christmas ornaments tonight and I can’t wait to share.

I’m a makeup artist, and one thing I’ll always focus on is smooth, natural looking foundation. My biggest tip for this is to mix either a moisturizer or beauty oil to mix with your liquid or cream foundation.

It doesn’t have to be a lot, just a drop. But I promise, a little goes a long way and it makes your foundation glide and blend seamlessly with your skin.

The brush you use is also important, I like to use something dense that you can stipple onto the skin.

I’ll link to the products I used here to help guide your process. What is your favorite way to apply foundation?

Slow your mornings down and try making your coffee by hand at home. Less plastic, less waste and more opportunity to customize your drink. 💙 I use a French press a kitchen scale from Amazon, and I use a ratio of 40 grams of coffee to 6 or 700 grams of water. Heat the water, pour it over the coffee and put the lid on. After about 4 2, press the top down. I make my own creamer with a bit of half and half plus brown sugar. Whisk it up an pour in your coffee. Done! Delaying your coffee a bit in the morning is good for you, I promise! Making it at home will save you some money and it’ll give you some chill time in the morning too. 💙 Linking the kitchen scale and press here, an also my favorite sturdy coffee cups from LeCrueset. I hope you try this!

If you love to create things, I think a Cricut is the perfect addition to your life. It’s a cutting machine that helps you make SO many things at home. Things like puzzles, boxes, ornaments, t shirts and more. You’ll be able to personalize virtually anything, and there’s something super calming about using this machine. There’s so much to choose from in Cricut’s collection, but I love the Maker. It’s the model that allows you the most flexibility in regard to what you can make. The Explore series is awesome too, it was my first machine and I loved creating with it! I suggest buying a starter kit of sorts, so you can start creating immediately. Nothing’s more annoying than having to order tons of little things just to get started. Imagine being able to make custom stockings, handcrafted gifts, labels and more from home, with your personal touch. I’ll link to a kit that will get you started immediately! Michael’s is where you can get the Sage color way, it’s my absolute favorite. All the machines are on sale right now, yes! I hope you take the journey with a Cricut, you won’t regret it!

The game-changing skincare duo that you NEED to try—especially if you love soft, nourished, and glowing skin like my lovely model Jaden’s. 💖✨

Homemade Pasta Night Just Got a Major Upgrade 🍝✨
I’ve officially entered my Italian homemaker era and it’s all thanks to my KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer paired with the 3-piece pasta roller & cutter attachment — both absolute game changers. 🙌
This mixer is a powerhouse for serious home chefs — perfect for big batches of dough, bread, cookies, and more. The bowl-lift design gives it extra stability and strength for thick pasta doughs. 💪
The pasta attachment set (sold on Amazon!) rolls and cuts your dough into flawless fettuccine and spaghetti, making homemade pasta faster and so much more fun. And if you’ve ever made pasta, you know the drying struggle is real — this pasta drying rack saves the day. It holds a full batch and collapses for easy storage. 🙌
