Since the word "chaos" seems to sum up my life lately, I've been devoting significantly less time and energy to my beauty routine. Fortunately, I've found a few amazing products that help me stick with my commitment to "clean beauty" and pack a punch in terms of function and versatility. Concealer/Foundation I love Rose Marie Swift 'Un'Cover Up. This creamy, hydrating and healing concealer brightens the under-eye area and evens out blotchy skin tone.

With regular dry brushing, you can help normalize lymph flow to assist the body to detoxify itself naturally. Dry brushing can also be a great way to boost energy. I like to dry brush right before I shower in the morning versus the evening, as it really gets the blood flowing and energizes me for the day to come. It can be especially beneficial during t
As winter approaches, our blood and lymph retreat deep, away from the skin's surface. Because of this, our skin receives less of the natural nutrients its accustomed to in the warmer months. As a result, winter skin does not heal as quickly and can be dull and lackluster. This is a crucial time to protect and nourish your skin!
