Friends, we have a bit of a Sephora problem. While I’m pretty sure it’s the basis behind all things Sephora, I go in for new mascara and well, you know how it goes. (photo source) I shared some of my latest beauty faves here, but (collective sigh of relief) failed to mention the hundreds of…

Homemade Orange Honey Body Wash
I told the Pilot that it’s time to prepare… my hippie is about to be unleashed in a serious way. Never before have I been in a land where all of these natural options are at my fingertips. I fondly remember the time in Tucson when I called a natural health store to see if…

Homemade rose lip balm
Rose-flavored and scented things? Nope, not obsessed at all 😉 I’m not obsessed with lip glosses, either.

I stock up…

DIY Bath Bombs
Two things officially turned me into a bath person: our tub, which is much larger than any we’ve had in the past and LUSH bath bombs. It’s a huge deal, as I’ve always preferred showers, but there’s something seriously awesome about sitting in a super hot bathtub with your hair in a messy bun, a…

DIY: refreshing rose facial spray
There are so many beautiful and extremely different personalities in our work locker room. We have the dancers, the spinners, the hardcore ass-kickers (that’s their official title), the yogis and more.

You listened to me rant and rave about the Clarisonic, which I love. Well, I have discovered the cherry on top that certainly completes my skincare beauty routine! You may have heard of BB Cream, and if you haven’t, you’re in for a real treat! BB creams (the double B’s stand for beauty balm) are essentially…

At-home Beauty Mask
If you could Photoshop yourself on a daily basis, would you? The truth is, many of us have skin issues. We have things we don’t like. But we have what we have, we should rock what got, and fix what we can. (source) I have always been diligent about taking care of my skin,…
