  • Self Tanning Tutorial 2022 – Best Self Tanner

    Self Tanning Tutorial 2022 – Best Self Tanner – Self Tanner For Pale Skin

    Self tanning tutorial 2022 is finally here.  I mention all the products, whether it be self tanner itself, or all the add ons that you need to make the self tanner really work well.  Because of my past cancer scare, this one really hits home and I hope it helps you making smart decisions.  Self Tanner can be very expensive if you don’t prep your body for application.  Because of my esthetician background, I’ve been able to try a lot of different options over the years.  I started spray tanning in 2007, so have tried a LOT of products.  I love helping others and making sure we choose what’s right for each of us.  Each body is so very different.  So you may have to try a multitude of different products to find the right set.  So, here we go….

    Here are the products to SHOP:

  • Fire and Flow Review – Fire and Flow May 2022

    Fire and Flow Review – Fire and Flow May 2022 – New Beachbody Workout

    Fire and Flow review is here!  I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am to do this program!! May 24th starts the exclusive Fire and Flow launch window of this new program. I’ve done both Elise and Jericho’s programs before. Every time I’ve completed the program, I see chiseling results and feel so much stronger! Here’s a blurb from the Beachbody blog below: 

    What Is FIRE AND FLOW?

    FIRE AND FLOW is a 4-week program designed to bring more balance and joy into your life while helping you get in great shape.

    For just 25–30 minutes a day, six days a week, you’ll alternate between Jericho’s intense FIRE workouts and Elise’s stress-reducing FLOW sessions.

    This allows you to go hard, but at the same time have plenty of time to help you recover and rejuvenate. Jericho and Elise want you to work out, not burn out.

    You’ll also be showing yourself some major love with the FIRE AND FLOW 4-Week Journal.

    Filled with 5-minute self-care prompts and a handy habit tracker, the journal is part inspiration, part creator of healthy routines.

    By the end of the program, Jericho and Elise will help train your body to be active, as well as help train your mind to embrace new opportunities, release anxiety, and quiet the self-judgment.

    Want to join me? I will coach you through every step and walk alongside you answering any and all questions. I will also be there to celebrate the small and big wins. 

    Simply email me at:  

    [email protected] with the subject line “Fire & Flow” and I’ll know exactly how to get you started. I’ll also go over your goals and any nutritional help needed. 

    Can’t wait to connect!!

  • Merit Makeup Review – Luxury Clean Makeup

    Merit Makeup Review – Luxury Clean Makeup – Makeup Haul 2022

    Merit makeup review is here and I wanted to give you a quick rundown on a company striving for better ingredients and everyday beauty products called Merit.   Merit is a winner of multiple Allure beauty awards in 2021 and in 2022, they are now one of my essentials. This clean brand is now carried at Sephora and gaining major momentum in the beauty industry.  It is vegan, minimalist, and is amazing to use!

    Here’s a breakdown of all I shared:

    Mascara: https://rstyle.me/cz-n/f8jesuckbap

    An everyday mascara that defines, separates, and lengthens lashes for a wide-awake look with no smudging ever.

    Tinted Lip Oil in shade Au Natural: https://rstyle.me/cz-n/f8jgafckbap

    A slick of sheer color infused with rosehip oil and shea butter for healthy-looking lips all day long.

    Also shown: Lip oil Warm Clear and link is the same as above. Great for a tween or teen who wants a little shine and glow.

    Brush #1: https://rstyle.me/cz-n/f8jgkvckbap

    A go-to brush to blend out any complexion product so well that you won’t be able to tell where your skin and makeup meet.

    The Minimalist Perfecting Complexion Foundation and Concealer Stick in shade Bisque : https://rstyle.me/cz-n/f8jgubckbap

    A lightweight, medium-coverage complexion stick with a natural finish to replace both foundation and concealer in your makeup bag. Long wearing and top-rated. 

    Cheeky cheek color: https://rstyle.me/cz-n/f8jhjqckbap

    A foolproof, flexible balm that deposits a creamy and transparent veil of color to let your skin show through. 

    Day Glow Highlighting Balm in Bounce (rose gold) : https://rstyle.me/cz-n/f8jhtdckbap

    A sheer, lightweight moisturizing highlighter made for daytime wear that visibly illuminates your skin for a dewy glow with zero sparkle. I like to use this on my lips too. This is probably my favorite product from this review and I feel like every woman young or old should own this!! 

    I hope this gives you some insight to finding your best “clean” products that work well and look amazing!!

  • Air Fryer Review 2019 | Is It Worth The Money?

    Air Fryer Review 2019 | Is It Worth The Money?

    Girls, here’s my air fryer review!  I finally got the air fryer!  I saw so many of my fellow health coaches making incredible looking meat and veggie dishes and the fomo got me.  It’s claim to fame is how it can turn anything into a crisp, quickly cooked meal with less fat. 75% less actually!  For instance, I love to order sweet potato fries at restaurants but I know they dip them into all the nasty oils to give them the crisp texture.

    Well this gadget doesn’t use oil. It uses a high speed convection system that makes everything taste like restaurant foods! Winning!!! Anytime we can get nutrient dense vegetables and lean meats to taste delicious, I’m on board!  You will need to coat them a little with 1 tsp-1 Tbsp but that’s it! My community is all about this new discovery & a lot of my clients are jumping on the airfryer train!

    “Skinny Taste One and Done” is a book I highly recommend: Recipe Book HERE!.

    If you have an Instant Pot (my exact one is here, My Instant Pot) or air fryer, it’s worth your investment.  One and done style meals that will not compromise your waistline but be full of flavor!  Check out my Instant Pot Article and Recipe HERE

    Here is the specific TOP rated Philips HD9220 Airfryer that I have: Philips Airfryer HERE!

    Nothing has taken longer than 15 min to cook, it sounds like a small fan when it’s on and then beeps when it’s done. It is loud enough to hear from your laundry room! 😉 #momlife

    The handle doesn’t get hot so if your kiddos are old enough to pull the drawer out and dump their own fries, you could take a break for a second.  I love that I don’t have to wait to preheat the oven anymore, this air fryer just gets right to work! Between amazon prime and my amazing kitchen gadgets, I’m set for speed & last minute planning!

    I recently saw a turkey burger recipe I’ll be making and want to try salmon soon!  Roasted veggies will not take as long now so we will be having those more as well! I hope this air fryer review helped you. Let me know if you snag it because I’d love to hear what you make!!

  • FabFitFun Winter 2019 Full Review | Is It Worth It?

    FabFitFun Winter 2019 Full Review | Is It Worth It?

    I finally did it!  After a year of asking all my friends what FabFitFun box was their favorite, this one WON!!

    Save $10 on your box with my link here so you know you’re getting the same options I’ve shown here.  FabFitFun Custom Box HERE!

    The main reason this box stood out to me was because of the jade roller.  I get terrible “puffy face” if I get on a plane or even look at a glass of wine.  I’m excited to travel with this tool and keep it in the fridge for the refreshing and relaxing effects it will bring.  The rollers at Nordstrom are around $20 so I thought all the other products I got would be worth my extra investment.

    It was really fun customizing my box!  You get an email before your box ships every three months so you can see what you want and what you don’t want.  I think I could use some of the fun products as gifts for my friends or family if I don’t think I’d use them.

    If you delay on investing in self-care goodies like I do, wait no more!!  This is something that will bring fun and excitement each season to your home.  I’ve heard Birchbox and Ipsy are fun as well (Birchbox winning in popularity) but everyone still says FitFabFun is their favorite!  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

  • Babyliss Pro Curling Iron, The Best Curling Iron EVER!

    Babyliss Pro Curling Iron, The Best Curling Iron EVER!

    I am only slightly freaking out right now, girls. If you have been frustrated at all with your hair and how it’s styling, something from this blog should help you start enjoying the entire process. I know first hand how frizzy and unruly hair can be in humidity and also from the highlighting chemicals and styling tools. Did you know your flat iron and curling iron can actually be damaging your hair every time you use them?

    I know now that my curling iron was not helping me one bit!!! I was so tempted to invest in the T3 system I kept seeing women rave about and while I’m sure the tools are beyond amazing, my budget does not fit that type of investment right now.

    So I asked my hair bestie and she quickly knew where to send me. Straight to the Babyliss Pro line of tools. After posting about this on my Instagram stories today, about 4 of my friends immediately responded that they have been using this brand of tools for a while and LOVE it!! I was behind the times on this but not any more!

    Here is the curling iron I purchased. 1 inch is the perfect size for me right now. https://amzn.to/2PlpcyI

    I also talk highly of these tried and true styling products I’ve been loving lately. Here they are in order of how I use them on hair wash day. I explain how and why I use them in my video for you.

    First I sleep on this pillowcase to prevent fine lines and hair kinks: https://amzn.to/2UmtKsl

    I also love these hair ties for my workouts because they don’t leave marks in my hair: https://amzn.to/2QhkXts

    Sexy Hair Active Recovery: http://bit.ly/sexyhairactiverecovery

    Moroccan Oil Root Boost: https://amzn.to/2L4mPjq

    Amika The Shield: https://amzn.to/2Ssd40A

    Living Proof Volume Blast is great for refreshing day old hair and adding volume and texture anytime you need it: https://amzn.to/2Urfyy5

    Moroccan Oil Medium Hairspray: https://amzn.to/2SvHpLZ

    If you get this brand of styling tools, you have to message me and let me know how much better your hair wash days are.
