Skincare & Makeup Routine

I got my second BBL laser treatment done for a stubborn sun spot on my cheek and after sharing some of my favorite skin care products on stories yesterday, a lot of you asked for all the info in a post. Here are a few before photos/stories screen shots (with and without makeup on!) and…

I don’t have the very best skin but I feel like it’s been getting better the last couple of years as I’ve been learning what works best for me! First of all, I think drinking 100 ounces of water a day can work miracles on a lot of health related things, especially skin problems. Also breaking a sweat every day is SO GOOD for skin! I started running again a couple months ago and while my knees are not thrilled, the rest of me is loving life.

Another big key to improving my skin has been going to a good dermatologist and aesthetician (I go to Ashley and Rachel at The Skin Ritual in Gilbert). They helped me figure out a lot of things about my skin (hello sun spots! UGH.) and introduced me to some great products. I am 36 and about a year ago I decided it was time to up my skin care game and invest in better (and more expensive) products.

The best one by far is this micro exfoliating polish. It is pricey, yes, but the jar lasts me at least six months and no other exfoliators can come close in results! I’ve even tried a PMD (and really didn’t love it). Old fashioned warm water, exfoliator and a clean wash cloth does the trick for me! I use it probably two times a week or as needed after taking off my makeup with these makeup removing wipes that don’t irritate my skin at all.

After exfoliating and drying my face, I use a Tinkle razor once a week and I immediately follow with a couple of swipes of witch hazel and then Retinol for my face and for my neck. For the last year or so I’ve been using and LOVING this brand based on a recommendation from my dermatologist. But before that (in my younger years! haha) I used and really liked this super affordable Retinol. It’s cheap and does the trick! I let that soak into my face and neck while I brush my teeth before bed and then I apply this Vitamin C serum that is supposed to help brighten my skin. I moisturize like crazy with this super affordable Rosehip Oil. It’s way lighter than Coconut or Argan Oil and has antibacterial properties so it doesn’t cause me to break out at all! It gives me dewy, moisturized skin that’s not sticky or greasy. It’s the best oil I’ve ever used. I’ve been hooked for more than a year now and love it more than ever. Michael and my girls use and love it too!

I also use this fancy-but-worth-it eye cream under my eyes and on my lids. It helps a ton with dryness and fine lines, which I have pretty bad. Lately I’ve been using a light swipe of castor oil on my lash line as a natural lash serum using these cheap applicators.

I use this lip mask generously every night and can’t remember the last time I had dry or cracked lips, even in the winter!

Probably twice a week I do a face mask with these Korean Collagen sheet masks. I wish I had the time to do one every night – they give my skin a great glow and help to clear up any small breakouts.

The Retinol and Rosehip oil also really help to keep blemishes at bay, but occasionally I’ll have one or two pop up. Picking only makes things worse guys and can cause scarring, so I like using this extraction tool on a clean face before bed followed up with these zit patches that I keep on all night. They are cheap and they WORK to pull everything out of the blemish without drying out and killing the skin around it! I don’t even waste my time with blemish creams anymore. With these patches you’ll wake up with no bump and almost no redness.

For makeup, I feel like I’ve also learned a lot this year from following two makeup accounts – Huda Beauty and The BeYouTy Bureau. I find it completely relaxing to watch makeup tutorials before bed and the bonus is I’ve learned a thing or two about contour and highlight! :) Okay, so here is my morning routine for getting ready:

After spending so much time and money on anti-aging skin care products, I am now VERY intense about sunscreen. I use and love this brand of sunscreen under my make up and then I also use this tinted moisturizer with SPF as my foundation. I try to not wear very much, if any, foundation though. I feel like I look my best when my face actually looks like skin, even if some discoloration or freckles are coming though. This concealer is the best formula for me. It’s easy to put on and is long lasting and natural looking, though it has amazing coverage. I put on my concealer under my eyes in kind of a triangle shape and on any blemished or sun spots and I let the concealer “bake” or sort of dry out for a few minutes while I put on a little contouring bronzer under my cheekbones, around my forehead. I do my nose with whatever is left on my contour brush.

While my concealer is still baking, if I feel like wearing a little more makeup that day, I swipe on this SUPER CHEAP eyeliner in the Espresso color that has been my go-to since high school! I use an eyeshadow brush to blend and smudge the eyeliner and create a softer line. I try to leave the eyeliner full strength around my lash line though.

I use this grocery store mascara every day (also since high school), because I’ve tried $50 mascaras before and they just don’t work as well for me! I love that I can build this up with two layers and it doesn’t clump! I use the brown black color to match the roots of my hair color, which I think ends up being a much more natural look than a black eyeliner and mascara would be on me.

After finishing my eyes, I use a smaller make up brush to blend in my concealer. I really like this brush set! I use the same brush to swipe on a little highlighter on my cheekbones and nose. And then I use the tiniest amount of blush on just the center apple of my cheeks (rather than all over my cheekbones). I use a clean blush brush to blend everything in with small circles. If makeup videos have taught me anything, it’s that it’s ALL ABOUT THE BLEND!!!

The last step is filling in my eyebrows. I got my eyebrows micro-bladed two years ago and I liked it for the most part. The color of the ink got a little red toward the last six months or so, but I was mostly filling them in again at that point anyway. I think I really loved them about three months in until maybe the 18 month mark? I’m trying to decide if it’s worth is to go back in and do them again, but if I’m being honest it really hurt! I felt everything – and the sound of those blades! Not so fun. I think the best part about getting them done was she showed me the right/ideal brow shape for my face. It might be worth getting them redone just for that. Subtle tweaks to brow placement can really help with facial symmetry!

In the meantime, I use beard dye to tint my own eyebrows at home every two or three weeks. It only takes a few minutes and is pretty straightforward, just following the instructions on the beard box (ha). Every morning I start with this brown brow gel for color and fullness and then I fill in my brows with this super thin watereproof brow pencil. I try to mostly do individual strokes that look more like hair rather than just coloring in. I also really love this tinted gel that helps everything stay in place all day!

I think that’s it! I hope this list was helpful for those of you that have asked for a tutorial! What questions can I answer for you?

Their search functions are especially awesome, making it easy to navigate the literal millions of inventory items.

Lately I’ve also been using Wayfair to source all of our faux trees and greenery that we use in our photos. I have found the prettiest high-end looking greenery! The arrangement in the clear glass vase was a DIY I shared in my stories today and I love how it turned out!

Nightstand Roundup

We recently talked about our tips and tricks on styling a nightstand and got so many questions about which our favorite nightstands were!

We typically try to stick with a larger sized nightstand when the space allows. Use the height of your mattress to help dictate the overall height of your nightstand. A few inches higher is usually best!

We also recommend having at least one drawer, more are always a plus! If you have an open space below your drawer, baskets are a really great option for adding more storage!

Here are some of our favorite options!

One of our most frequently asked questions is “How do you style a nightstand!?”. We are firm believers that your space, especially your bedroom, should be the right combination of beautiful and functional. Use the steps below to create a serene space with the perfect place for all of your nightstand essentials!

1. Start with a lamp – Good lighting is key on your nightstand. You’ll want a lamp with a warm bulb that is not to bright, but not too dark for nighttime reading.

2. Layer in a storage basket for throw blankets or pajamas – The perfect place to toss things you use nightly that you don’t want to fold.

3. A pretty box with a lid hides lotions, chapstick and cords – These items are necessary, but can clutter your table up quickly.

4. Use a shallow tray for corralling glasses and jewelry – You don’t want to lose your favorite pair of earrings when you take them off at the end of the day! A small tray is the perfect catch-all for tiny items and reading glasses.

5. Keep your favorite book handy – The perfect way to wind down at night!

6. Florals and greenery add an extra special touch – If real is too much maintenance for you, go faux! Just a hint of greenery will make all the difference!

Our first tour comes from the lovely Allie at The Adored Abode. She totally transformed her dark, dated living room into this bright and airy space! You can follow along with all of her amazing diy projects over on her instagram.

Q: What room in your house do you spend the most time in?

A:Definitely the living room! It’s my favorite space to relax and spend time with my husband and two dogs.

Q: What was the biggest design challenge for your home?

A: We are slowly renovating our whole home (inside and outside). We have done most of the work ourselves, but have hired out some things we aren’t comfortable doing or don’t have the time to do ourselves. The biggest design challenge has been sticking to a budget and letting projects slowly play out as we have the time and money to complete then, rather than rushing to finish everything at once. I often know what I want design wise, but my initial plan may end up being out of our budget, so I have to either compromise or push another project down the road if it’s something I am not willing to compromise on. It would be nice to snap my fingers and have everything be finished, but that’s just not realistic for us and that is alright. Renovating slowly does have its perks for me since I love designing spaces in our home and have enjoyed watching my style evolve even over the 3 short years we have lived in this home.

Check out her board and batten diy here!

Q: What room are you most proud of?

A: The living room! It’s probably why I love spending so much time in it. The space was very dark when we moved in and is now a light and bright space, that still feels cozy. The decor has been slowly evolving over time and it is finally feeling more and more like us.

Q: What was the inspiration for your home?

A: I draw inspiration from many difference sources, but Pinterest and Instagram are my favorites. I love to pin images to a board or create Instagram collections when designing our home. I reference all the images I’ve saved to identify the general themes and key elements I am most drawn to as a starting point for each space. I have always been drawn to spaces that blend modern and traditional, are light and bright with moody colors mixed in, and that feel welcoming and lived in.

Q: Are you more drawn to colorful spaces or neutral?

A:I am definitely drawn to neutral spaces first, but I try to mix color in with accent pieces. As much as I love neutrals and want my house to be mostly neutral, I love a good moody toned room too, our den and bedroom are perfect examples of that!

Q: Favorite place to shop at for home decor?

A: I try to find home decor at multiple different places! Target, H&M, CB2, and Etsy are a few of my favorites. I also love to find items like books, vases, and artwork at local thrift stores. I have found some of my favorite pieces thrifting!

Mother’s Day is coming soon! Here are a few of our tried and true gifts that we know the ladies in your life will love!

1. “The Pressed Plant” Coffee Table Book – Jenny here! I’ve been obsessed with pressed flowers for the past year or so. I’ve been picked flowers and plants to press on all of our family trips and this book has some great composition inspiration! It makes for a beautiful coffee table book too.

2. Tunic Sleep Dress – I love sleeping in nightgowns in the summer and this one is amazing. It’s so comfortable and so pretty at the same time. I’m thinking about getting a second one to keep in rotation – I know I’ll love these for years to come.

3. Instant Flower Pressing Kit – Did you know you can use a microwave to instantly press and dry out flowers?! The colors preserve beautifully this way! I love this little kit and think it would make a great Mother’s Day gift! You can also make a quick framed pressed flower arrangement for you Mom. I gave my mom one for Christmas of flowers from our Grandma’s childhood farmhouse in Sweden and she hung it in her kitchen breakfast nook. So sweet and simple to do!

4. “Women” Print – by artist Candace Wiant. We all love this print at Juniper and love that it is a celebration of women and motherhood.

5. Natural Frame With Linen Mat – We’re always on the hunt for beautiful natural wood frames. This one is especially gorgeous with the linen mat!

6. Korean Sheet Masks – I randomly bought these Korean sheet masks as a splurge at Nordstrom Rack. You know how they have all the beauty products by the check out counter? I am sucker and always end up buying a few new products to try. These masks are SO SO SO GOOD. I found a bigger pack on Amazon and they are more affordable than the cheapie masks at Target and they make your skin insanely dewy! I try to do one or two a week.

7. Linen Robe – The perfect summer robe to go with your new white nightgown!

8. Byredo Perfume – My tried and true favorite perfume. I love that it’s a more masculine, subtle take on a rose scent. It’s not at all fruity or even all that floral. It’s just interesting and clean. Love it.

9. Pure Clay Mask – Another mask we all love around the office! It’s amazing for skin that’s starting to break out!

10. “My Mom In Her Own Words” Book – Jenna has us all buying these journals for our moms for Mother’s Day. The listing describes it best – Use these pages to fill with your one-of-a-kind memories whether it s a special moment from your childhood, an unforgettable adventure, or a piece of advice to share. Speak from the heart, in your own words—it doesn’t need to be formal or complex. Because when you are finished, you will create a gift that will be loved for generations.

11. Robo Vac – On the more practical side of our list, but what mom wouldn’t love a robovac for Mother’s Day?! It’s on my list for sure. And this one in particular is more affordable and has better reviews than the Roomba!

Weekly Favorites 4.19.19

1. Journals and 2. Instax Camera – We were at Disneyland last weekend (check out this post if you want lots of great Disney tips!). One of our favorite traditions is to get a little blank spiral bound journal for each our kids before a family trip (we did this when we went to Europe last summer too). We bring a couple of markers and some washi tape and my favorite Instax camera and the girls can draw and do some journaling while we’re waiting in line or in a car. We all love getting to look back on these journals from past trips!

3. Concrete Fluted Planters – I’m obsessed with the texture of these fluted concrete planters and they’re on sale! They remind me of the beautiful planters in front of Katie Hackworth’s gorgeous office.

4. Pillows – This Etsy pillow shop is amazing and I can’t believe the prices on some of these pillows! I bought a bunch for the Evergreen project and for my house!

5. Comfiest Pullover Sweater – I’ve been finding the cutest clothes on Amazon lately! This sweater is my favorite right now – I have it in a few colors. It’s the perfect weight for this time of year, when you never know if you’re going to be cold or hot!

6. Rattan Bed – This bed is absolutely stunning and we can’t believe the current price!!!

7. Round Marble Based Lamp – We spotted this one online and it’s a total dupe for this table lamp that we also love!

8. Gold Coin Necklace – I just got this 18k gold plated coin necklace on Amazon and I can’t believe it was under $20!

9. Ninja Blender – You guys had a ton of questions about my morning smoothies! I learned all about the Fab Four way of eating in the amazing book Body Love below. This personal blender with a couple extra cups makes my life a million times easier!

Chia Seeds, Protein Powder – I have tried a million different protein powders and this is the brand I love the best. I do not love the taste of most, but this one is DELICIOUS. Collagen Peptides – After about two months of drinking my smoothie every morning with collagen powder, my hair stylist asked what I’ve been taking. My hair, lashes and nails are noticeably thicker!

10. “Body Love” Book – I also have been trying to clean up my eating. This book was eye opening. In the same way I’m reframing my mindset about workouts, I’m trying to think of food and diet in a different way. The author shares interesting food science facts that I loved learning and has helped me think about eating for fuel and health instead of a restriction diet. It’s about how to eat to feel good, not how to eat to hack weight loss. It’s awesome. She shares recipes that I like that are meant to fuel your body with nutrients and healthy energy. The book recommends starting your day with a green smoothie with fat, fiber, protein and greens (the fab four). I make a chocolate banana nut butter one that is delicious and makes me feel great until lunchtime.

11. Eyeshadow Primer – A friend shared this eyeshadow primer with me and I feel like my makeup stays on SO much better through the end of the day.

12. Steamer – You guys keep asking for the link to our favorite steamer again so here it is! We LOVE it and it’s so affordable!!

13. Running Shoes – Earlier this year I started working out consistently again with the goal of feeling better, stronger and less stressed out, instead of focusing on losing weight. I use the 10k Runner app to go for long slow jogs two or three times a week and then I also do the Sweat app which is a quick, challenging but also fun 30 minute workout you can do from home. I hate (HATE!) working out at a gym, so I feel like this is a routine I’ll be able to keep this year, and so far so good. I’m sleeping better and getting a great stress release during my week. It feels wonderful! Kate on our team recommended these running shoes, and they have been GAME CHANGING.

14. Folex – We’re working on sharing some kid friendly furniture, but I always recommend keeping this upholstery cleaner handy for homes with kids and pets! Its THE BEST.

Overstock is doing their Spring Black Friday sale!!
