Heather: what peel pads and retinol do you use again? I'm thinking of starting retinol and don't know where to start. You can check out my entire skincare routine in this blog post but I use Dr. Dennis Gross peel pads 2-3x a week paired with the retinol + Ferulic serum from his line as well. I do retinol 4-5x a week. Retinol is a pretty intense product so you want to introduce it slowly and … [Read more...]
11 Wellness Trends: Healthy or Hype
Charcoal HYPE: This one makes me cringe when I see people drinking it. Put it ALL over your body if you want, but please don't put it INSIDE your body. It's touted as a way to "detox" but charcoal cannot identify the good vs. bad internally and will strip good nutrients from the body as well as so called "toxins". We have a liver that does a fantastic job of detoxifying so let's just let … [Read more...]

March Favorites
Heather: Quay Studded Sunglasses I asked my husband if he liked my sunglasses and his response was, "I mean they have studs all around them." Thank you CAPTAIN OBVIOUS! Precisely why I love them. I like to think I have pretty versatile style.. but most days I am minimalistic in my clothing. Think jeans, a neutral color top, jean or leather jacket and flats. Hence why I like to spice it … [Read more...]

Our First Mac & Mia Experience
Is there anything better then getting a package filled with new clothes in the mail?! I used to get Stitch Fix boxes for myself all the time and absolutely loved them. Some of my favorite clothing pieces came from those boxes and they are mostly items I wouldn't typically pick out for myself. However, when I first heard about a similar type of service for kids I initially dismissed it … [Read more...]
5 Ways I Created a Cranky Toddler
Two is cool. Said no one ever ;) Let me start by saying that I don't intend to beat myself up in this post. I know I'm a good mom and doing the best I can.. just like all of you. I also know that every kid is different, evidence is right there with my three, and playing the comparison game is a dangerous one.. especially with your own children. And that's exactly why I think we have struggled … [Read more...]
Happy Hour
I know you've done lots of posts on skincare but can I get the 101 on just facial sunscreen? For everyday.. budget and splurge! By now, you know that wearing SPF is a non-negotiable for both of us. Daily SPF is the most important thing you can do for your skin. No moisturizer or miracle serum in the world is as beneficial as basic sun protection. So here are the ones we love and why: … [Read more...]
Skin Nutrition: Diet + Acne
I’ve struggled with acne since I was a teenager. I know some people who had much more severe acne, but my hormonal chin acne is something I’ve always been self conscious about. I’ve gone through periods where it hasn’t been an issue (pregnancy skin was amazing for me!) and times when I just can’t seem to catch a break. I would say I started paying better attention to my skin health starting in … [Read more...]
How to Incorporate Acid in Your Skincare Routine
Honestly, I decided to tackle this topic for personal reasons as I have always been a little confused by all of the different acids in my skincare products and what AHA and BHA really means. Back in the day, if someone told you to put acid on your skin, you'd run the other way and tell them they're bat sh*t crazy. Ok, psycho killer. Now, acid is a buzz word in skincare and we're all trying to … [Read more...]
