Reflecting on my beauty routines, it is clear that this year I have incorporated some major upgrades across the board. Thanks to TikTok, my friends, and my clients, I have changed some beauty habits to be less harmful and to help me achieve my own beauty goals. Most of these principles are very simple and the result has been a slow and steady transformation in all areas. Here are some principles (that I have learned the hard way) that you can start incorporating into your own routine.

The 30-minute service focuses on professionally cleaning, extracting, and hydrating the skin on the vulva, being careful to avoid the inner areas of the vagina. Using steam, we apply a cleanser to clear away dirt and debris. If you’ve never felt steam on your vagina, well, you’ve got to give it a try! Talk about feeling pampered. Then, we clear the area of any ingrown hairs or clogged pores. We apply a jelly mask that is specifically tailored to your skin and follow it with a soothing and hydrating skin serum.

Many people don’t know where to start, especially those of you beginning your Brazilian hair removal journey. And because of my experience, this is one of my favorite questions to answer: what are the real differences between waxing and sugaring?

When it comes to your face, it is so important to be gentle because even small inconveniences like acne and tiny scrapes can end up causing permanent and unpleasant damage. But what happens in those moments where you wind up with stitches after hitting your head on taco Tuesday? Or you went a little too hard popping a pimple on your cheek and now have a massive mark?
Read moreFall swaps that your skin will thank you for
An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of repair! And skincare should be changed throughout the year to tailor to your skin’s current needs. Things like the weather and lifestyle will affect the health of your skin. Generally speaking, during the summer, our skin is assaulted by more sunlight. Activities in the summer usually include staying up later or being out at the beach all day, in and out of the salty ocean. And even though we did our best to protect our skin by staying out of the sun and wearing sunscreen, we are only human. Tending to your skin every fall is a valuable anti-aging practice that will contribute to younger-looking skin without years of buildup to deal with down the line.
Read moreA Lazy girl's guide to the "Clean Girl Aesthetic"
The “clean girl aesthetic” is a trend that embraces the inner basic pumpkin-spiced-latte girl in all of us…the girl that social media wants us to strive to be, perfectly put together without seemingly any effort…Arriving early and still somehow fashionably late whilst sipping a homemade iced matcha latte. It’s the vibe of a slicked-back Olaplex bun with no flyaways and a perfectly dewey fresh tan…you get the picture. In line with this trend, there have surfaced some wild 10-step skincare routines along with one-hour “no makeup makeup routines”…you know the routine you do when someone says “you look so great without makeup” and you think to yourself, “wow, if only you actually saw me without any makeup.”

So let's get this out there - men wax too! All parts of their body, and for all different reasons...and it’s not weird. When I tell people I do sugaring, the first question is usually, “do you do men!?” And we love our male clients! Sugaring is all about looking and feeling good in the skin that you are in. And there are so many reasons that men seek out hair removal.
Read morePlump me up - Why drinking water is crucial for your skincare routine
Most of my life, I have been what I refer to as…a dehydrated sufferer. I have chronically dealt with dehydration and done absolutely nothing about it. Drinking water is too basic for me. It’s monotonous, I have to pee, and it’s one of those annoying daily habits that just never stuck. I have been in a cycle of over-caffeinating, under-watering - then crashing, unable to concentrate because I end up opting for another coffee instead of doing the thing my body is screaming for - drinking WATER! And then I have anxiety and wonder why! Does this sound familiar?
Read moreYour First Brazilian Sugar Wax - From Start to Finish
If you are considering or feeling apprehensive about getting a brazilian wax, this article is for you! This was inspired by a very sweet client of mine who shared with me that she psyched herself out of coming in for over a year and a half! During that time, she made two appointments and canceled them both because she just didn’t know what to expect. The unknown can be a freaky thing. So here is how it goes down, from start to finish.
Read moreRoll, Roll, Roll...Your Face?
We have all been there- ate chips and guac, tacos…had a few too many margaritas, and finished it off with a cheesecake dripping in blueberry sauce. I don’t know about you but last taco Tuesday, I woke up looking like the puffer fish in finding Nemo - not a cute look. Even after washing my face and applying my skincare, I did not look anything like myself. Bloated and puffy, my dark under eyes broadcasted the story of the night before. I have so many tools and skincare that promise to make me look chiseled like Angelina Jolie… and I have been down the rabbit hole quite a few times. Instagram even targets ads at me specifically for bloating, that’s when you know you really have a problem! So I have a routine to restore me to sanity.
Read moreA Complete Guide to Exfoliation after Sugaring
So you decided to start sugaring! Congratulations, you did it! Your skin is smooth and slippery. Now you are engaged in a process. Remember - the goal here is smooth beautiful glowing skin, and the skin is an organ that needs to be looked after. Sugaring is a process, not a one-time event. You can’t go to the gym once a month and expect an amazing body, or get a facial every 4 weeks and expect perfect skin without any aftercare. One of the best ways that we can take care of our skin is to exfoliate!
