How I'm Creating a Stress Free Holiday Season (Without Going Off the Grid)
Every year, the holidays sneak up on me. One minute it’s Halloween, and the next it’s a full calendar, crowded stores, and a dozen people asking, “Can you make it?” I’ve spent more than enough years running on coffee and nerves to know I don’t want that anymore. This year, I’m choosing something different—a slower, more intentional, and yes, stress free holiday season. Not perfect. Just peaceful enough to actually enjoy it. I’m being honest about what I can handle for a stres

The Case for Slow Skincare: Doing Less, But Smarter
In the age of instant gratification, skincare has become another race. Every week promises a new “miracle” serum, a viral acid, or a 10-step ritual that claims to transform your face overnight.

Originating in ancient Egypt and Persia, this simple blend of sugar, lemon, and water was used to polish the skin of queens and brides alike. Today, the same golden paste is making its modern revival — reimagined with clean ingredients, sustainable values, and a cult following that prefers its gen

The Undertone Equation: Why Your Tan Should Start with Color Theory
The Secret to a Natural Glow: Understanding Tan Color Theory Ever wonder why some spray tans look sun-kissed and others look… citrus? The answer isn’t luck — it’s tan color theory. Just like makeup artists use undertones to create seamless foundation matches, professional spray tan artists use color theory to balance warmth, depth, and DHA percentages. It’s the secret behind that believable bronze that looks like it came from a week in the Amalfi sun — not a bottle. When your

Ozempic: High Hopes, Real Risks
Ozempic started as a breakthrough for type 2 diabetes, but it’s become the most polarizing name in modern wellness.
