A few weeks ago I was challenged on Instagram by @rawandroasted to list 5 facts about myself. One of the facts was that I use a facemask everyday. Spoiler alert: this doesn?t mean that I sit in a bubble bath reading magazines, face-masking away for...

This seasonal, heart-warming recipe was adapted from this recipe by the Queen herself, Ina Garten. I just love her recipes (who doesn?t) because they are ALWAYS delicious and quite easy to follow. But because I really don?t do dairy or gluten and I...

I?ll be honest with you. I am 7 months pregnant and I have yet to buy a single piece of maternity wear. While it?s been a little challenging, I have managed to get through the past wintery months wearing big sweaters and leggings practically (uh,...

Lately I have gotten really into dry skin brushing. Why" Well, I heard that you can dry-brush when pregnant. Now there are sooo many things that you can’t do when pregnant, aka basically everything, so I thought to myself, if this is something...

With every new season comes a modified beauty routine. For me, while many of my rituals will stay the same, I?m always on the hunt for the best of the best to keep my mind, body and style aligned with the season. To keep you all in the loop, I...

I?ll be honest with you, I wasn?t into moisturizing my body until I got pregnant. Now, it?s part of my my nightly (and sometimes daily) ritual. I actually look forward to it. The best part" It doesn?t take more than a few minutes to actually make a...

When I found out I was pregnant, I started tossing all the products in my cabinet that weren?t totally clean. I really believe that, when possible, it?s smart to incorporate natural and organic beauty into your routine during pregnancy. Since this...

A few weeks ago, I had the most transformative experience I couldn?t wait to share with all of you. I had the pleasure of visiting Susanne Kaufmann at her spa at the Hotel Post Bezau. The blonde beauty comes from the Bregenzer Forest, a unique...

When it comes to summer skin (and pool party attire!), less is certainly more. Instead of covering it all up, aim for a natural glow. Enhance your best features and subtly disguise your problem areas. To do this, all you need are a few...

Dry skin is my least favorite thing. It makes your makeup caky and weird. The skin flakes off and the texture just isn?t as smooth. It can also lead to premature aging in the form of lines, wrinkles and lack of plumpness. One of the best things you...

Why I Flew to Munich to Meet Dr. Barbara Sturm In January, I set aside time to meet with Dr. Barbara Sturm. Since I was moving to Switzerland, I thought I should get to know my beauty neighbors. It was actually my third trip to visit a woman...

Just in case you haven?t noticed already, pink has been everywhere. From fashion to published a story chronicling the hue?s rise to fame, summing up why we can?t get enough of 2017?s answer to Barbie pink: ?It?s cheeky, sincere, and nostalgic all at...

I found it no surprise at all that in Switzerland, skincare is the priority and makeup is practical, modern and minimalist. Natural and clean products are at the heart of the minimal movement and simplified beauty routines and multi-functioning...

Are you using a serum" If the answer is, ?wait, what is a serum"? you should probably be reading my blog a little more religiously Simplified, a serum is that step in between your toner or facial essence and your moisturizer. It?s probably the...

Is it just me or is it very hard to find a clean body lotion/ cream that actually works"! I’ve been struggling to find one for YEARS… I thought I would have to settle for body oils for the rest of my life, until I got a major beauty tip from...

When your LA beauty BFF gives you a solid recommendation, you have to pay attention. While visiting New York for our mutual friend’s baby shower (more to come on that soon!), Taylor (above) told me about a brow tool that, she claims, is the best...

For the first time in my adult life I have a desk. Like a real proper desk, with a big computer screen and a mouse pad – I guess you could say that I have graduated from my laptop. I’ve been so excited about this (long overdue) milestone, I’ve...

I have never been super into facial cleaners. For whatever reason, they have always taken a backseat too some of my more prominent skincare selections, like serum or eye cream, for example. Last fall, I attended a press preview at Shen Beauty in...
