I loved putting this New York Live segment together. How often do you see people trying to sell beauty products on Facebook? While they may seem pushy, many of them are selling truly effective products and as entrepreneurs it's their job to be a bit pushy. In this segment, I cut through the clutter and found the best selling products from the top brands out there. Enjoy the segment!
I first met Cait about ten years ago when I was a beauty editor at Cosmopolitan magazine. At the time she was a beauty editor at Life & Style, and I looked up to her as she seemed to have it all figured out. She's always been supportive of my freelance career and I'm incredibly proud of what she's accomplished during the past few years. Now a cancer survivor, Cait utilized her relationships in beauty and personal experience to help others fight their battles while looking and feeling their best by writing "Pretty Sick: The Beauty Guide for Women with Cancer." At her book launch party, she said, "This was never about me writing a book. This was about me wanting to help others." And that's exactly the type of person Cait is – selfless. Here, she speaks to her journey and gives valuable life advice.
For two weeks after my chemical peel, my skin was super high maintenance. These are the products that helped to calm and heal my skin as well as show face in public.
Thanks to my on-going battle with hyperpigmentation, bi-yearly moderate peels have become part of my skincare regimen. I've been fighting hyperpigmentation since what seems like the beginning of time (or more truthfully, since I learned what the brown spots on my face were back when I worked at Cosmo). For me, it's 100% from the sun. While I used to bake in tanning beds when I was young (I was an idiot), as soon as I became an beauty editor (over a decade ago), I've been shunning the sun or at least slathering my skin in SPF and being diligent about reapplying. No matter how careful and mindful I am, the hyperpigmentation always comes back. Therefore, after the summertime, I always do a good peel as a jumpstart to a new skincare regimen with a focus on lightening.

It was January of 2016 when I first heard of Skylands Animal Sanctuary in Wantage, NJ and visiting has been on my bucket list ever since. This past weekend, Joe and I had the opportunity to take a tour of the sanctuary given by the Founder, Mike, who's one of my heroes. You can only imagine how excited I was as he began to tell his story and the stories of all of the rescued animals that he treats as children. Founded in January 2015, the 232 acre property is now home to animals he personally rescued including cows, goats, pigs, chickens, even a bull and more.
One of my favorite things about working with New York Live is shooting field segments with Joelle Garguilo. She's full of positive energy, a real hustler and we just have the best time on set together. While we've shot many beauty segments together in the past, this was by far the most fun. I'm so grateful to be able to work with people who inspire me. Check out our latest featuring new express treatments in NYC.
Overnight masks are genius, because they take little to no effort. When I first received this Overnight Recovery Mask from Exuviance, I placed it in my "must try" basket in my bathroom along with about eight other face masks. (They're my favorite products to test!) Now, I use it once to twice per week and wake up with simply refreshed skin.
