The Tween Skincare Gift Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I think one of my most commonly asked questions via DM’s, in person, etc. is regarding tween and teen skincare. “What are some products that I can buy for my tween/teen daughter, neighbor, friend that they will be excited to use, but not Sephora prices?”Ulta Haul Days is here (until October 3rd), so I figured now would be a good time to share my recommendations while most of their affordable brands are 25% off or BOGO 50% off.

A June Recap (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Happy July!! We spent the weekend on the South Shore and it was so fun to spend time with friends and their families. We stayed in Plymouth, MA right on the water and finally got a cool breeze on Saturday! Our hotel had an indoor pool and mini water park inside, and we were walking distance to food, breweries and ice cream etc. Fitz was living his best life. He LOVES a hotel. I hope you had a lovely fourth and stayed cool and dry.<a class="image-link image2" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/f
