We had the first snowfall of the season this past weekend and although it was just a pretty dusting, it still was a great reminder of the fact that cold winds and dry heated rooms can have harsh effects on your hair and skin all season  With that in mind, I'm always searching for the current best ways to keep my skin hydrated and my hair silky soft.  These latest pretties are some of my favorite finds at the moment.  Skincare is a 24/7 job if you want yours to be looking its beautiful best.  Aside from proper nutrition and taking health-enhancing skin protecting supplements, your skincare routine is the most important element of getting your skin into condition and maintaining its glow.  Proper cleansing is a crucial step towards this and a tricky one as well.  Using a hydrating cleanser that cleanses without stripping my skin of its proper pH balance is always a big concern.  During the winter months this is even more important.  My favorite way to do so is with this pure and simple face wash from philosophy.  Before becoming a devoté of this miracle wash, my face would always feel two sizes too small after washing.  Now, after using it and my Clarisonic together, my skin is soft, supple, hydrated and effortlessly clean.  I recently discovered this post-wash deep-clean mask to use once a week to increase skin radiance and detoxify skin's underlying layers.  We all know how sweaters and moisture-starved air can leave your hair standing on end.  A really soothing conditioner cannot be left out of one's hair washing routine.  This high gloss conditioner from GLOSS leaves my hair soft and silky, super manageable and mega shiny.  Everything winter hair craves.  Lastly, our lips and hands so often brave the elements unprotected.  This hand cream will leave you wondering how you ever got on without it!  Lips too need some love to stay kissably soft.  My favorite way to do it is with Fresh Sugar's lip balm.  So lip nourishing and so pretty while doing so!  

 If your skin and hair are feeling the winter blues, give some of these beauty savers a try.  Wishing you all a wonderful Monday! xx

Happy Monday! I hope it was a wonderful weekend…the pre-holiday season is always filled with fun and festive times I treasure.  Through it all, I always take a little extra time to treat myself well and set aside time for me.  One of my favorite ways to do that is with some wonderful winter beauty treats.  Cold weather, warm dry heat and holiday hustle can each take their toll on our skin.  If you already care for and protect your skin daily, you know the beautiful benefits a good regime can give you.  It's also likely that  new products and innovative ways to polish and perfect are always something you can't get enough of. I know that's definitely true for me!  When it comes to wintertime faves, it's necessary to trade out your spring and summertime go-tos in favor of more deeply penetrating and richly hydrating skin savers.  This cushiony, vitamin packed eye cream from Bobbi Brown is always on standby in my fridge.  Keeping it cold helps preserve the active ingredients and reduce any puffiness you may have.  I have to admit, I am often suspect of skin care products put forward by lines that are most well known for their innovations in beauty and vice versa.  This cream, however, has changed my mind and made me a believer.  If you have any under eye dryness or just want something extra protective for winter, you must give this jar a try.  I promise you'll be dewy and fresh with no dreaded concealer slip or slide.  Hydrating your elbows, knees and essentially everywhere is also extra important during the cold weather months.  This incredible perfumed olive oil body scrub by my favorite body care line, philosophy, is the perfect way to do it all while still in the shower or tub.  I simply love how it smoothes, softens and scents my skin.  For extra tired eyes, these little eye masks are the must-have answer.  Packed full of skin enhancing retinol, they smooth the delicate area under the eyes leaving it beautifully refreshed and perfectly renewed.  These pretty shadows, pot rogue and glossy tint are the perfect trio for getting holiday glam.  Bobbi always inspires me with her gorgeous take on natural beauty.  Gorgeous.  Don't forget a quick pick me up for your tresses too.  I've never met a Kérastase product I didn't like.  This glossifier is no exception.  Add a few drops of this lightweight shine serum to your regular styler and you'll leave your bathroom with a beautiful natural shine and weightless lushness you'll love.  You can shop it and all these beauty items in the links below.  Let me know your favorites!

Happy New Year! Whenever January rolls around everyone seems to be making their resolutions for the new year.  For me, I find goals to be so much simpler and a lot easier to achieve. So many of you along with family and friends always ask me for ways to look and feel better.  These ten beauty boosters are some of my favorite picks for getting gorgeous.  Start each day fresh faced and flawless with this decedent cleanser by Eve Lom.  While yes, it's bit pricey at the outlay, the things it does for your skin and the way it softens and smooths is beyond compare.  And, it lasts forever.  I always couple it with my tried and true absolute favorite tool, the Clarisonic.  If you own it, you love it.  If not, trust me, get one. Now.  Your skin will thank you and never be the same.  This curling wand gives my hair the perfect amount of soft, bouncy curves with shine for days.  The fact that it doesn't have a clip on it was tricky at first but so worth the learning curve.  Be sure to become best friends with the heat glove it comes with.   It will save you from all those painful fingertip burns, haha.  These hair vitamin supplements will keep you healthy and your hair lush.  I especially love how quickly they make your locks grow longer.  Finally, while it's nothing new for me, if you are looking for a beautiful, feminine fragrance that you can't live without give this one from philosophy a try.

I hope everyone's new year is off to a beautiful start.  Thanks for stopping by!

Beauty products that make gorgeous promises always lure me in.  Beauty products that keep those promises keep me coming back for more.  Here are some of those products that have passed the test for me recently.  When it comes to effective skincare the core of any good regime is a really great cleanser. One that effectively cleanses your skin without striping it of what it needs to be soft and supple is worth its weight in gold.  Eve Lom's balm cleanser is so soothing on the skin and leaves it feeling super soft and looking radiant.  I've also fallen in love with this hydrating skin cream from Bobbi Brown.  It's the perfect balance of creamy and cushioning and just what my skin craves in the now colder temps.  I give the same amount of TLC to my hair which is why I can't get enough of this conditioning treatment from Joico.  So many of their products are beyond amazing that it's hard to pick a favorite.  A rosy glow and wide awake eyes are something that everyone wants.  I get mine from this peachy pink blush from Aerin and this magic wand from YSL.  It truly is eight hours of sleep in a swipe.  I never like to leave the house without a sweet smelling spritz.  Tocca makes the most incredible scents that are as intoxicating as the bottles are beautiful.  Not only are these amazing beauty wonders, they also make great gifts for the holiday season too.  What are some of your favorites?

Hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a happy weekend!
