It’s inevitable that things will change as I age and I have to let go of the things I can’t control, but it doesn’t have to be all doom … [Read more...]

Heather’s Recent Sephora Haul

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum - I use this after I prime and mix it with the Illuminator drops for a hydrated and glowy base.

FEBRUARY FAVORITES

H E A T H E R Charlotte Tilbury Magic Serum I haven’t purchased this serum in the past due to the price tag and not really knowing what it was meant for.. fast forward to this past month where I saw it all over some makeup tutorial videos/content creators I follow and decided to give it a try.

A Round Up of My Favorite Workout Shoes

One shoe does not fit all workouts. I’ve become a bit of a workout shoe snob in my old age and I’m very picky about what shoes I’m wearing based on my workout.

Happy Hour

I’d love some interview outfit ideas! I have some nursing interviews coming up at the end of March/April and any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! When in doubt, go the more conservative route. Slacks with a button up cardigan, pencil skirt, blouse and blazer, or midi dress. Stick to blacks, whites, greys, and creams. Nothing flashy in my opinion! Go for sleek, timeless, and … [Read more...]
