5 Things I’m Loving This Week | #1

This summer I have discovered so many different products that I can’t get enough of & I figured it was time to get back into sharing my favorites with you all. This series will be a quick read & will feature the products I’m loving every week with a brief description of the product & why I love them. Sounds simple? Well, quite frankly it is! But like I said, I have discovered so many great products & feel like this is the easiest way for me to put them in one place for you all to find. So with all of that said, below are this week’s favorite products!

1.) Born to Run Eyeshadow Palette

I spoke about this palette on my Instagram stories recently but in case you missed those, I have put this palette in my all-time favorites category. I personally think this is the perfect palette & if I could only use one palette forever, this would be the one. I know, that’s a bold statement but the color range includes every color you could possibly ever need to create a million different eye looks. If you haven’t seen this one yet, you need to check it out!

2.) Ultimate Blending Brush

This is another thing I spoke about on my stories recently (if you’re not following along yet, head on over for all of the fun!) but it’s just too good to not share on here with you all. This brush has a  $6 price tag & works wonders! Seriously, it blends like a dream & you won’t be disappointed. It’s great for foundation but I have recently started using it with my bronzer/blush & it blends them out flawlessly. I can’t recommend this one enough!

3.) Essential Lip Enhancer Shine Balm

This formula is absolutely unreal. I personally feel like Jouer can do no wrong but they 100% smashed this one out of the park! I have incredibly dry lips & so I knew these would be right up my alley. What I didn’t realize was how buttery soft they would leave my lips & how beautiful every shade in the range would be. I posted a video swatching these on my IGTV for any of you interested in seeing the colors in action!

4.) Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil

I have used this product on and off for years now & I recently started using it again because my skin aged rapidly this summer. Sounds slightly dramatic, I know, but the wrinkles on my forehead & in between my brows became terribly noticeable & I didn’t love that. This makes such a huge difference in my fine lines & if you know me in real life, I can guarantee I’ve recommended it to you because I feel that strongly about it. Moral of the story, if you want to diminish the appearance of fine lines, this one is for you. The price tag is a bit steeper on this one ($105 for a full bottle/ $55 for a mini) BUT a little goes a long way AND it’s much more affordable than botox, just sayin!

5.) & Sleeping Beauty Purifying Mousse

Apparently I just didn’t take very good care of my skin this summer because this on has been a necessity as of late as well. Hey, you win some, you lose some! I’m happy that I have found incredible skincare products that save my skin when it’s looking a little drab. I have been applying this mousse a few times a week at night to help clear & brighten up my skin. I absolutely love how healthy my skin looks when I wake up in the morning & can’t recommend this enough if you have texture & dullness.

Those are the 5 products I’m loving this week & I hope you guys have enjoyed this post. Stay tuned for next week & make sure to comment below with 1 product you guys have been loving so we can share the love. Thanks for reading!

I am such a big fan of matching sets & I realized that I don’t wear them enough. I saw this green matching set while shopping in H&M last week & I knew I had to have it! A matching set is a perfect way to look dressed up without thinking too much about an outfit & I love that you can also wear the pieces separately for a more understated look. Plus, if you work in a professional environment, fun prints & colors can really spruce up your workwear attire! I found some beautiful sets below to share with you guys & am curious which one you would wear?

Current Skincare Routine & Favorites

I’m going to be honest, I filmed this video over a month ago & just never got around to posting it with how busy the holidays were. BUT that doesn’t matter because I’m still using these same exact products (some I have repurchased recently because they work wonders) so this is still my current skincare routine! I have added a few more goodies into the mix recently though, so I’ll list those for you guys as well! Enjoy the breakdown below of all the products that make up my current skincare regimen.

First up is this age-defying exfoliator that comes from Dr. Brandt, a reputable skincare line that fuses science with active botanicals to yield results that refine the texture of my skin and give me a gorgeous, healthy glow.

These toner pads from Arcona are amazing! They use white tea extract and rice milk to nourish the skin, while a little cranberry extract helps to clarify & protect my skin with its essential fatty-acids, and vitamin-rich composition.

Also from Arcona, I am in love with this  activating essence. It’s perfect for a boost of rehydration, while it also helps to improve the elasticity & overall complexion of my skin.

If you haven’t tried Edible Beauty products yet, it’s never too late to jump on the bandwagon! And I promise you won’t regret it. This Australian company uses pure, organic ingredients, which yield products that are so “clean” you could eat them. Vegan, hypoallergenic, & cruelty-free, what better product to put on your skin?! Right now I am obsessed with a couple different products:

First, this illuminating face oil is a great solution for dry skin, uneven texture, & loss of elasticity. It’s nourishing, rejuvenating, & supports natural collagen production to make my face look bright & radiant.

Next up is this intensive repair night cream. Deeply nourishing & moisturizing, this cream soothes dryness, redness, & irritation, & helps to boost the firmness of my skin.

And finally we have this ageless serum, which helps to reverse all my fine lines & wrinkles by charging them with antioxidants, SPF, & some of Edible Beauty’s wild-crafted botanical magic.

Another brand that I am using a lot of lately is Elemis. This company is the #1 luxury brand in Britain, & uses a combination of cutting-edge science & ingredients sourced from nature,  to produce ground-breaking & innovative skincare formulas. Here are the Elemis products that I’m currently super into:

This pro-collagen anti-wrinkle eye cream is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines & nourish the area around the eyes. It also uses an anti-oxidant derived from seaweed to lock in moisture & produce smooth & firm skin.

I cannot express how much I love this super cleansing treatment balm! Another pro-collagen product (I’m obsessed), this balm helps to dissolve makeup & other daily skin residue, leaving me with a complexion that is intensely clean & full of natural glow.

And last but not least, I heavily rely on this reviving peptide eye cream. This product targets dark circles & puffiness, making my eyes look bright, well-rested, all the while improving the elasticity & firmness of my skin.

Now that you have all the details be sure to test out these products for yourself, and get the gorgeous, youthful, glowing complexion you’ve always dreamed about!

Where We’re Headed To Next | Weekly Favorites

I have missed my weekly favorites posts SO much it’s a little absurd. I don’t know why I find so much joy in sharing all of my favorite things with you guys but I just really love it!

I thought today was the perfect time to give a little life update & let you guys know what’s coming up as well. We are headed off to Hawaii next Sunday for a week & I’ve been looking forward to it for months. Kannon randomly has the week off from school & we found a killer deal on flights so we jumped at the opportunity. It’s funny too because we were in Hawaii the exact same time last year, only we’re headed to Oahu this time instead of Kauai. Which is very exciting because I grew up going to Oahu at least once a year but haven’t been back since I met Adam! So this will be Adam & the boys first experience on Oahu & I know they’re going to love it! I’m debating booking an adventure to swim with wild dolphins.. Trying to see how brave I am because I’m kind of terrified of the ocean but also am obsessed with dolphins.. Should I do it!? I swam with sharks once but that was in a cage so I feel like it’s very different! Let me know your thoughts in the comments cause I take your guys opinions very seriously when it comes to my decision making 🙂

With this upcoming trip, we will be in full prep mode this whole week. Hair cuts, packing & prepping all of my blog posts for the week that we’re gone. I’m trying to be very prepared for this trip because I’m usually so stressed the day before departure & always wish I had just one more day to finish everything. New year, new me, right? I’ll let you guys know how my organization works out this time around!

Now onto favorites.. & these are some GOOD ones because I haven’t done a favorites post in far too long. Hope you guys enjoy & make sure to comment below with something you’ve been loving recently!

Kristin Ess Texture Spray – I discovered this texture spray simply because it was the only dry texture spray I could find at Target but I am so happy that I purchased it because it has become a favorite & it’s much more affordable than the others I have used!

Love Beauty & Planet Dry Shampoo – I forgot dry shampoo on my last trip to Utah & so I purchased this on a whim. I love this stuff guys! The scent is very pleasant without being overpowering, it doesn’t leave a white residue (I tested it on my nieces brown hair) & it honestly makes your hair feel clean! Plus, the price makes it a definite winner in my book!

My Favorite Sweater – I have worn this sweater far more than I probably should. If you’ve seen me recently, you’ve probably seen me in this beauty. Seriously, it’s that good!

Faux Leather Moto Leggings – These are the best faux leather leggings I’ve ever worn! They suck everything in without them being uncomfortable whatsoever, the material is amazing. I can’t recommend these enough if you’re in the market for some new leggings!

BECCA Bronze, Blush & Highlight Palette – This is the perfect all in one palette! The quality of BECCA products is always incredible & I love that I can just toss this in my bag because it has all 3 products!

Happy Friday!

This past week we went on a little road trip up to Monterey, CA & it was such an amazing little getaway with the boys. We absolutely love Monterey & I can’t wait to share our little travel diary with you soon so stay tuned for that! But for now, we’re home for another week before we head out on our next adventure next Friday. We have been traveling a lot lately it seems & while I love adventures, I’m really enjoying the weeks of normalcy at home in between. I definitely need balance when it comes to traveling as I’m sure most people do. It’s funny though because I feel like our boys are finally completely accustomed to traveling & now I’m the one who is craving time at home! The tables have turned!

Now that we’re home, I wanted to share some of the products I have been using & loving lately. I’m trying to test out new products more regularly so I have new things to share with you guys but sometimes it’s hard because I am so particular with products & only want to share the best with you all! With that said, below are some of the things I have been loving lately! Feel free to chime in under the comments section to share some of your favorites!

» This antioxidant face mist is the best facial mist I’ve come across in a LONG time! I used it in this video & it makes your skin look so healthy & like it’s glowing from within. I have been using this daily under makeup, over makeup & just to hydrate my dry skin throughout the day.

» I just finished this lip balm & completely scraped every last bit out of the tube because it’s that amazing. Perfect for everyday use! Now I need to repurchase & I think I’m going to purchase this trio!

» I finished up one of my holy grail bronzers & started using this pore perfecting bronzer. I can’t get over how flawless it makes my skin look!

» Now that it’s Fall, I broke out one of my favorite scents for this time of year. I fell in love with this scent last year & wore it on my trip to Rome. Now every time I wear it, it reminds me of Rome & brings back the best memories!

» This is a random favorite but these immunity gummies saved us when we all got colds a few weeks ago! Elderberry is a must during cold season & I love this gummy because it has echinacea, zinc & vitamin C!

What have you been loving lately? Comment below!

We have been unbelievably busy lately. Between shooting content, work trips to LA & Adams production jobs, we have had barely any free time. Thank goodness for weekends so that we can spend time together as a family! No matter how busy we are, our main priority is always to make sure we have enough quality time with our boys. I say it alllll the time but they are growing up so fast & we really want to cherish every moment we have with them. I’m sure all of you parents can relate!

weekly favorites

We shot a really fun campaign this week that I can’t wait to share with you guys! I did a fun BTS video for it & we’ll also be doing an amazing giveaway so stay tuned for that!
Other than that, we are adjusting really well to life here in Orange County. We are so much happier here & while some people don’t understand why we moved out of LA, it’s just such a slower pace of life down here & yet we’re close enough to drive into LA anytime we need to. It’s 100% a win-win for us! Plus, our boys love it down here & are so much happier. All in all, suburban life is treating us very well & that’s all that really matters!
I wanted to get back into the swing of sharing my weekly favorites with you guys so below are 5 things I’m loving this week!
-I can’t get enough of these jeans. They are beyond comfortable & I love the style/fit (they run TTS). I have worn them at least 3x a week since purchasing them. They might have replaced these jeans that I was wearing nonstop!
-I bought these strappy sandals last week for a friends birthday celebration & they’re not only cute but comfortable. I love the lower heel because you can wear them from day to night without any discomfort whatsoever & that’s coming from a girl who lives in sneakers so that’s saying a lot!
-I got so many questions this past week about the lip color I’ve been wearing. I layered this lip balm under this gloss to create the perfect peachy nude. The best part is that it’s a really hydrating lip combo! These lip balms are one of my all time favorite lip formulas!
-These sheet masks have been saving my skin lately. My skin has been so lackluster & every time I use one of these masks my skin is brought back to life. You guys know I’m obsessed with glowing skin & these are a favorite because they’re made completely with clean ingredients. Every product this brand makes is incredible! I just used my last mask & will 100% be ordering more.
-I think the most common question I get is, “What Highlighter are you wearing!?” & for about the past year, it’s been this one in the shade Indiscretion. This Highlighter can be very subtle or be layered to have a more glowing look, which is what I usually do. I hit pan on mine in Copenhagen but I still have so much left & I’ve been using it daily since November
Now it’s YOUR turn! Comment below with what you’ve been loving this week!
