Let’s talk all things hair and beauty related today! Over the weekend I had the opportunity to visit JOOJ Blow Dry, a mobile “at your service” blow out and hair style hub, based in one amazingly chic Airstream trailer.

It’s no secret that during traveling your skin becomes dehydrated and dull. Coming from Chicago, and flying to Europe was somewhat of a climate change for us. We literally left freezing temps behind us and arrived in Europe in full on spring mode which can have an effect on your skin. Hence it’s super important to me that I take extra care of my skin while traveling. I make sure that I have a good skincare routine to combat dehydration while on the road. We traveled a lot while in Europe. We started in Paris, France and afterwards flew to Germany in which we traveled quite a bit as well.
I’ve been using Kristals Cosmetics during my entire trip in Europe, a brand known for its bio-energized formulas inspired by ancient and holistic traditions. I brought with me my RUBY Super Thermal Repair Mask, Facial Nourishing Cream and Facial Serum. The Thermal Repair Mask really did wonders to my skin – it’s unique self-heating system not only smoothed my deep lines but also encouraged my skin to renew itself. As it gently warms to the touch, the mask prepares your skin to absorb the powerful ruby gemstone’s strengthening and nourishing properties.
RUBY Super Facial Serum – I use this serum every day (morning/night). It helps halt and reverse the aging process using the famed ruby gemstone. The serum also contains jojoba seed oil, a rich and powerful skin emollient which made my skin wonderfully soft!
RUBY Super Facial Nourishing Cream – Just like the serum, I use the cream every day. I apply it in the morning to help hydrate my skin by binding moisture to my skin. To amplify ruby’s age-defying properties, Kristals Cosmetics infuse their cream with Hydroviton, which deeply hydrates dry skin. It really helps me seal in moisture for the day ahead!

PS: A special thanks goes out to Christiane, a dear friend of mine who was kind enough to let us shoot at her house. She’s a beauty, inside and out. I love you, Christiane.

Much love.

Hair Tutorial: Everyday Curls
Happy Monday, and thanks so much for stopping by! I hope all of you had a blessed Holiday Season! I spent Christmas with my family and loved ones despite the fact I was sick during the Holidays. My son and I made chocolate covered candy canes, my husband cooked a fantastic Christmas meal, and my son dared his grandpa to eat a sour warhead candy during Christmas dinner which resulted in much laughter! You see, I love creating memories like these. To me, this is what Christmas is all about: Creating loving memories together.
But let’s talk about my hair tutorial, shall we?
I am excited to finally share my hair secrets with you after receiving so many questions on how I curl my hear to what products I use. First of, I love curls. There is something very untamed and sexy about them, and they are actually quite easy to create. While getting ready to go shoot today (outfit post for Wednesday), I decided to do a quick tutorial on how to create pretty, loose curls in 10 minutes flat.
STEP 1
I prep my hair by applying argon oil to the tips of my hair. I swear on argon oil – it’s not only beneficial by providing fatty acids and vitamin E to your hair but it also softens it beautifully.
STEP 2
I section my hair, and start curling away from my face. I use a 5-in-1 curling iron from Bombay Hair. NOTE: I only curl my ends since I prefer a loose curl/wave vs. thick curls.
STEP 3
After curling I brush through my hair with my fingers to loosen up my curls.
And that’s it. It’s super easy. I hope you found this tutorial helpful! Please, let me know if you have any questions, and let me know if you are interested in future tutorials. As always, I would love to hear your feedback!
Thanks much for reading & have a lovely Monday!
Much love.

Every now and then you need to take a break and get away for the weekend and this is exactly what my family and I did. We spent the weekend at the W Hotel in Chicago, to relax and to take some time off of our daily routines. We constantly answer to our schedules, routines and calendars. It’s a cycle we repeat every day, which leaves no room for spontaneity or change. But not this time, we packed our bags and off we went! This little getaway was exactly what we needed to recuperate and energize.
Day-to-day life can drain you which can have an effect on your skin, too. I have always been very passionate about skincare but this weekend I wanted to take extra care of my skin – with the help of Adore Cosmetics. Now first off, good skin care requires cleansing and moisturizing. Cleansing is essential to remove dirt and dead skin cells. However, cleansing can leave your skin dry and ruin important stem cells. Stem cells account for 2-7% of your skin’s total cells, yet they’re responsible for all of its ability to renew itself. As time passes and environmental damage mounts, they lose effectiveness—and skin loses its vitality.
I treat my skin to the anti-aging power of Plant Stem Cells with the Cell Max Collection consisting of a redefining facial cream, facial serum and thermal mask. It works perfectly with my skin – it combines a rich blend of vitamins, essential oils, organic flower extracts and organic vegetable proteins to my skin. Using these beauty products help me protect my skin’s own stem cells, the key to its regenerative ability, and by preventing UV stress and environmental damage. It also delays the skin aging process while promoting vitality and longevity of skin stem cells.
Adore Organic Innovation represents the most advanced breakthrough in anti-aging found in the beauty industry today. And it’s yours exclusively to adore.

Many of you have asked me about my daily beauty regime and I’m excited to share an essential part with you today. I’ve been vacationing in Aruba which is known for its tropical weather hence skin care is a must down here. My philosophy regarding skin care is that it should never be a constraint. It should remain a pleasure, something to be enjoyed, a beneficial ritual, an intimate moment when you can let life’s worries drift away.
I have been using Orogold’s 24K Nano Collection for two months now which consists of a 24K Nano Hydra-Silk Mask, 24K Nano Day Recovery Creme, 24K Nano Night Recovery and last but not least the 24K Nano Ultra Silk Serum. OROGOLD Cosmetics is a luxury skin care brand that brings you exciting skin care products which combine the top of the line in anti-aging ingredients, vitamins, minerals, and botanicals with the opulence and luminosity of real gold. I am especially fond of The Hydra Silk Mask which I use once a week. You only need to rub a small amount of mask into your skin until liquid droplets form. You let these droplets absorb into your skin for at least 10 minutes and that’s it. No rinse required. It leaves your skin hydrated and refreshed.
After spending all day in the sun my skin would often look inflammed and dull. The 24K Nano Day Recovery Cream was and still is my go-to product when my skin needs a special treatment to fight the dullness and tiredness. The cream is super lightweight, and absorbs quickly into the skin. The formula is designed to re-hydrate tired and dull looking skin. I’ve been using it daily to lessen visible puffiness and inflammation, while enhancing the complexion during my entire stay in Aruba.
What is your daily beauty regime, and what are your favorite beauty products you cannot live without? I would love to hear from you!
