KRISTIN ESS HAIR Signature Hair Gloss - Cherry Cola | Ulta

Busy mom beauty = anything that works fast and lasts all day. The Sacheu lip liner stain has officially earned a permanent spot in my everyday routine.

Just line, let it set, peel… and you’re left with the prettiest natural lip definition that doesn’t smudge on coffee cups, snack breaks, or school pickup kisses. It’s the easiest way to look a little more put together...even on the days when you’re doing your makeup in the car between errands.

If you love low-maintenance beauty that actually lasts, this one is worth the hype. Linking the shade I’ve been wearing on repeat.

Weeknight dinner upgrade that actually meal time easier.

These Momofuku noodles are air-dried (never fried), high in protein, and full of flavor; perfect on their own or customized with your favorite protein and veggies.

Slow mornings, glowing skin & elevated rituals💫
This is my current morning skincare lineup. A luxurious mix of body care, red light therapy, facial skincare, & lip care that helps my skin feel nourished, hydrated & radiant from head to toe.

I’m especially loving my clean, glow-boosting body and skincare essentials from Naked & Thriving and my lip exfoliator + lip balm from Sara Happ for soft, hydrated, polished lips that feel as good as they look.

This is self-care that feels elevated but still realistic for everyday life. Glowing skin at 40+ is about consistency, quality products & intentional routines.

Day 4 of my 40 Bags in 40 Days Declutter Challenge and the laundry room cabinets were finally getting the deep clean + organization they needed 🧺✨
This space is all about functional home organization, aesthetic storage solutions, and creating simple systems that actually stay organized.

I used two organizing essentials that made a real difference:
• A neutral felt storage bin from Sort Joy. Perfect for closet organization, laundry room storage, and cabinet organization while keeping everything elevated and minimal
• Adhesive cord keepers — the easiest solution for cord management, small appliance organization, and now the perfect iron cord organizer for the laundry room

Decluttering is step one.
Intentional organization systems are what make it last.

Target Western Edit Try On🤠
Some cute design details but most of these fits were oversized, awkward, or just not my everyday mom style. The only piece I'd personally consider is the gingham cropped jacket. Everything else was a miss for me.

2 shades, 2 moods & I’m obsessed with both. 💄✨
Muah-ve is the perfect everyday natural brown (PSA: it looks darker online/on the box than it actually i. IRL it’s the prettiest soft neutral), P-inked is that rose-pink pop when you want a little glam without going full bold. Long-lasting peel-off lip stain, no smudging, no reapplying every hour. Just easy, defined lips for busy mom life. @sacheu

I’m a bold lip girl at heart but lately I’m living in my soft tinted gloss era 💄 I’ve been missing the definition of a liner without committing to a full lipstick look so I’m finally trying the viral peel-off lip liner stain everyone’s talking about. What do you think? 💋

Your winter skin doesn’t need more products. It just needs the right ones. 🤍❄️

I created this skin barrier edit with tried & true essentials that help repair, protect, nourish & restor. Especially during the coldest month of the year when our skin takes the biggest hit. Most are products I actually use & love, and they’re the foundation of healthy, resilient skin (not just quick fixes).

This collection goes hand-in-hand with today’s blog post all about how to repair your skin barrier in winter. Glowing skin isn’t about layering everything, it’s about choosing better.

Save this edit, shop the routine, & read the blog for the full breakdown. ✨
