The THALAC Difference…

January 24, 2018

Leave a comment

Happy Wednesday Loves ♥

I don’t know about you but with another birthday just around the corner and another year older, something I am fully committed to this year is taking care of my skin + making sure I am using the right products to do so. Let me give you some back story, I have been going to my favorite facial lady for almost a year now (if you are LA based it’s Beauty Mermaid Skin Spa in Pasadena) and every time I went, she would use these great smelling + feeling products throughout the treatment that I became obsessed with! I finally began examining everything she was using and discovered it was THALAC. I began researching + discovered all of the amazing products THALAC has + they come straight from France…only the best for my skin (that’s my new motto haha).

Being a blogger I have received countless mailers from skincare brands with tons of new products every week. While I love trying the newest + latest from all different brands, I tend to stick with what I love + know, so when it came to trying out THALAC I was excited to try out the whole line since I already knew I was a fan from using the products during my facials.

The THALAC line is filled with all good things for your skin…minerals + key ingredients extracted from algae make all of the products perfect for combatting any skin issue. Whether it is keeping your skin looking young, combatting acne or combination skin or adding extra hydration for dry skin, THALAC has products that are perfect for all types of skin.

While when I think ‘skincare‘ I automatically think about facial products, THALAC has products for the body as well. I have been struggling with acne on my chest + back and the exfoliation products have done just the trick!

My favorite face products from THALAC are their Marine Tonic Lotion + Fluid Cleansing Emulsion. These two products go hand in hand, making them the perfect cleansing duo for morning + night. I swapped out my go-to La Roche Posay with these babies + my skin is GLOWING. What I love most about these products is that they actually make your skin FEEL fresh. I find this to be the one thing I love most about all of THALAC’s products because with so many products on the market, the ones I tend to gravitate towards are the ones that I can feel immediate results from!

Ready to switch up your skincare routine?

Message me for more info on the products or to purchase! They aren’t available in stores yet but I can connect you with the brand directly!

Big Sexy Hair…

Big Sexy Hair

Happy Monday loves ♥

I don’t know about you but with Valentine’s Day quickly approaching + plenty of events to go to with award season in full swing in LA, one of my go-to hairstyles time + time again is voluminous, shiny, healthy hair! To save money I tend to do my hair myself and over time from working in hair salons while I was in college and testing out numerous haircare products through blogging, I found my go-to products that help me achieve the hairstyles I love for any occasion AND a lot of them are from Big Sexy Hair.

Anytime I have to take photos or have an event I tend to let my hair air dry, then I add some dry shampoo to add a little more texture and for that extra bit of volume I use Big Sexy Hair ‘Get Layered’!

What is great about this product is that you case use it before curling your hair to add extra volume and then flip your hair over after curling it and spray it an inch to two inches away from your root in separate layers to add even more va-va-voom.

With Big Sexy Hair products your hairstyle not only lasts all day long but also can last you for a few extra days (for a gal that dreads curling her hair because it is so time consuming, this makes doing my hair a bit less of a struggle since it can last longer to avoid re-doing it multiple times throughout the week).

My favorites from Big Sexy Hair have always been their hairspray products. They smell good, have various levels of hold (whether you like a light spray or a firm hold, Big Sexy Hair has an option for you) AND best of all? They are affordable! ONE can of hairspray lasts me months because of the huge size and when using the products, a little goes a long way.

Ulta typically has Big Sexy Hair on sale every other week with BOGO or Buy Two, Get One Free promotions which makes the Big Sexy Hair line even more affordable.

Also, the Big Sexy Hair line has multiple products for color treated hair as well to lock in + keep your hair looking fresh, shiny + as if you just walked out of the salon.

Olay 28 Day Challenge…

December 5, 2017

Leave a comment

The secret to young, vibrant + hydrated skin? Easy…it’s all about using the right products + the right routine, that’s why I am excited + proud to share my results from the Olay 28 Day Challenge!

I have been switching up my skincare routine by using the Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 + Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel for 28 days now. I used the Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15 every morning + the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel every morning + night! I added these Olay skincare habits to my normal health routine. I would wake up in the morning, have a glass of green tea and then apply the Olay Total Effects Moisturizer + Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel.

It made my face feel instantly rejuvenated + hydrated! What’s better than getting ready to seize the day by feeling refreshed?!

These two products are easy to use, work on all skin types + feel great on your skin.

After a busy day filled with pollution in the air, makeup on my skin etc, the best way to unwind + refresh is with wiping away my makeup at night + then applying the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel to keep under my eyes hydrated…preventing any dark circles after long days at the office or out with friends 😉

The Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel has reduced the dark circles and puffiness around my eyes, making me feel + look more energized – now that’s something I have been wanting for a while now!

I have combination skin meaning some days it is oily + prone to breakouts, and other days it is dry from my acne medication + needs some hydration. What has been my life saving moisturizer? The Olay Total Effects Moisturizer with SPF 15! This helps keep my skin hydrated even when I am dealing with breakouts. It is lightweight + doesn’t drown my skin and feels AMAZING!

Using the right skincare is beyond important to any healthy lifestyle. With exercise, healthy eating + keeping hydrated with plenty of water, it is imperative to keep your skin hydrated + fresh with the proper skincare products as well! I learned this throughout the Olay 28 Day Challenge!

Happy Thursday! ICYMI – I LOVE ‘pops of color’…whether it’s a bold bag, a statement dress or colorful shoes I am all about adding bold colors to my everyday look! So what inspires me to be bright + bold? The colorful hues I surround myself with at home…starting in the bathroom with Tone® Brazilian Glam™ Body Wash + Tone® Mango Splash® Body Wash! Not only do I LOVE the way it feels on my skin but also the fun scents that inspire + invigorate me first thing in the morning!

I want to share with you #HowITone everyday to make everyday a bold, bright + colorful one! Who needs a vacation when you can have a ‘Staycation’ at home making it feel like summer all year long!

The first step to achieving those summer vibes at home is with the right products! Where do I go to snag the best body wash that makes me reminisce of summer? Walmart!

Walmart is always my go to for summer accents for the home + also the best smelling + feeling body wash from Tone Skincare!

What I love about shopping at Walmart is there is always great offers and deals on the products you love (including the Tone Skincare products I am talking about in this post).

You can take advantage of this offer from Walmart which will get you on your way to your summer staycation – IBOTTA Offer – Earn $2 when you buy 2 Tone Body Washes

After picking up your favorite Tone Skincare body wash scents at Walmart it is time to create your staycation ‘happy place‘ in your bathroom!

Honestly, having a clean space and adding ‘pops of color’ is what inspires me everyday. I love having a blank canvas to work with + Tone Skincare body wash is the perfect ‘pop’ to brighten up my white bathroom. It’s funny, I tend to dress similarly to how I design my home. I start with neutrals as a blank canvas and work my way to adding color through little accents…I am pretty sure this inspiration comes from the colorful packaging of Tone Skincare (seriously who doesn’t love a bright hue to make you feel like you are in paradise everyday).

You can check out more photos of how Tone Skincare inspires others on their social landing page HERE!

Now that your bathroom looks like one you would find at a resort at your favorite tropical destination, it is time to lather up and embrace the scents + ingredients Tone Skincare body wash products are made with that feel like something reminiscent of a spa!

This body wash makes me feel beautiful and like I am being spoiled at my favorite spa on a tropical island thousands of miles away!

This is #HowITone because it makes me feel confident, beautiful + relaxed…and nothing beats that if you ask me!

I love all of the products of the Tone rainbow, but I really love to use the Tone® Brazilian Glam™ Body Wash to feel relaxed + glamorous in the morning, and the Tone® Mango Splash® Body Wash scent to feel like I am ready to head to the beach!
