New Cruelty-Free Beauty Buys We’re Loving

Have you noticed? more and more beauty brands are becoming cruelty free. According this Allure article, California became one of the first states that passed a law banning the sales of any products that are tested on animals to be effective starting January 1, 2020.

My Favorite Hair Care Products Right Now

When I find something I like, I tend to stick to it, but I try almost anything that will promise me fuller, healthier, stronger, shinier hair.   So far this year, I've been impressed by more hair products than anything else.  Here are the standouts.  Make sure to put them on your radar! 

Hoboken: Best of Beauty & Wellness

Hoboken: Best of Beauty & Wellness

When I first moved from the city to Hoboken a little over four years ago, I was convinced that I was going to hate it.  A typical New York attitude.  Today, I can't express how much I absolutely love this little city and am so proud to call it home.  Of course, I did my fair share of exploring and testing out all of the beauty and wellness offerings the town has to offer.  While I still go to NYC for many of my services (see my round up of the best salons and spas in NYC here), I found some real talent in Hoboken.  Here's my edit of the best of beauty and wellness in Hoboken.

Scientific Proof My Hair Growth Supplement is Working

As someone with very fine hair (and not a lot of it), I've tried every extension variety to make it appear fuller throughout the years.  Being on TV, it's important for me to be able to enhance what I have.  From tape-in to clip-in and bonded extensions, I've tried them all, but while I love the way they look, they're really just temporary bandaids for a bigger problem.  I've taken different types of skin, hair and nail supplements since I was young, but always remained skeptical of their efficacy until now thanks to science.

Bridal Beauty Countdown: 6 Months

Bridal Beauty Countdown: 6 Months

With six months until your wedding it's really time to tune into your skin. Personally, I've always been a bit anal about mine and focused on getting rid of hyperpigmentation before my wedding. For some reason many brides jump to injectables right before their wedding.  Here's some advice on skin, hair and makeup.
