The Power of Rose

The Power of Rose

As Valentine’s Day draws near to call upon the celebration of love, our attention is drawn to the signature flower, rose.  Rose is more than just a symbol of affection, it is a champion skincare ingredient as well.  The essential oil that rose produces bears remediable base properties that rejuvenate, restore and refresh the skin with its natural potency of Vitamin C.  Here are some of our favorite rose infused beauty buys.

A Face Mask Worthy of Your Regimen

A Face Mask Worthy of Your Regimen

For the past month, I've been using the Nuvesse Firming & Anti-Aging Face Mask once per week and am impressed by the results.  I first wrote about this serum-infused biocellose mask, because I was in awe of the technology (more information on that here) and had high hopes that it would help to smooth out my fine lines and like promised, give me a more youthful appearance.  I'm only (only?) 33, but of course, like most of you, have been chasing my youth for quite some time now. 

The Best Vampy Lipsticks

The Best Vampy Lipsticks

If you've been following my InstaStories, then you see that I've been testing a ton of lipsticks and glosses lately.  Personally, when choosing a lipstick color, I love wearing neutral or berry shades, but my real lipstick obsession is for anything vampy.  This may sound insane, but when deciding I'm in the mood for a vampy lip, I revolve the rest of my outfit (and of course makeup) around it. It's a look that's strong enough to take center stage.  With Valentine's Day approaching, it seems appropriate to share some of my favorites.  Here are the best lipsticks for a seductive smile.

It's been a year since I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training at YogaWorks and I am still so grateful that I had the opportunity to take it on.  It was by far, the best personal growth opportunity I've ever had.  I've never been stronger than I am today and have never felt more comfortable in my own skin.   Besides teaching, my practice has drastically changed.  Here's how:

If you follow me on Instagram, then you saw that Joe and I went to Sundance opening weekend and took full advantage of all Park City, UT has to offer.  Besides attending film premieres and practicing yoga (of course), we had a blast in the snow.  With temperatures in the 20's and 30's layering up properly was crucial – starting with my moisturizer.

The Bellagio: A Fountain of Fun in Las Vegas

After a business trip to Salt Lake City, UT for Sundance, Joe and I decided to hop over to Vegas for a few nights.  We were right there, it would have been a sin if we didn't.  Our hotel of choice, The Bellagio.  Located in the center of the strip and famous for the fountains that are beautifully choreographed to music, the hotel had everything we were looking for from food to fitness.
