Skincare

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten much more interested in skincare. From ways to take better care of aging skin to items I’ve added to my routine, I’m having fun with skincare – and hope to dive into more on this topic soon! I’m definitely not an expert, but I am certainly a researcher. After turning 28 and then starting to notice changes in my skin, I’ve become much more avid in learning as much as I can about how to best take care of it! In this category, I document what I’m learning and share skincare beauty tips as I figure out what works and which products I love!

Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum: Review & Thoughts

I’ve been trying to get back into beauty reviews lately so I decided to start with some of my absolute ride-or-die products that I’ve been using for a year or more and have repurchased multiple times. One of those products is the Bader Cream and the other is Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum. Now, I’m not an expert on beauty products, I just try a lot of different products for…

Augustinus Bader The Cream: Thoughts & Review

Getting a little fancy today and sharing my thoughts and a little review of the Augustinus Bader The Cream!! I say fancy because in case you don’t know, this face moisturizer is one of the most lux options on the market. I decided to share a review because I feel like there are a lot of questions out there about whether or not the hype is real and if it’s…

2 Skincare Tools I’m loving

I love sharing new products with you guys on stories, but I’ve really been slacking when it comes to sharing on my blog as well. And I really miss creating more informative, long-form content here. I love sharing on stories, but once it expires, there’s not really an easy way to share it again (even if it still lives in highlights). So that being said, I wanted to put together…

How I’m Transitioning My Beauty for Spring

Sometime over the last five years or so I learned the importance of switching up your beauty routine based on the season. Now, I definitely do not consider myself a skincare/makeup/hair expert, but I try a lot of products for my job and also I just really love playing around with my beauty stuff in general. So expert or not, I have picked up a thing or two over the…

How to Do a Spa Night With Your Guy

OK friends, I’ve been working on this post for the last week or so and I am so excited to finally share it with y’all! It’s all about how to have a spa night with your guy at home! I mentioned a little while ago on Stories that Duncan and I have been doing some masks together in the evening and y’all were so curious about it! Duncan has been…

6 Face Masks Under $75

Outfit Details: Jamie Crewneck Sweatshirt (wearing size xs) // 90s Runner Shorts (wearing size xs) One positive thing I will say about this time is that I am showing my skin way more attention than usual. Duncan and I are basically having “spa nights” (that’s what we call them LOL) almost every night of the week and ya know what? I’m not mad about it. Yes, Duncan will even do…

My Favorite Tula Products to Gift This Holiday Season

Hey friends! OK, so my love for Tula is widely known around here, so it’s no surprise that when the holidays roll around, it’s the first thing I think of to give to the ladies in my life. You can read about why I love Tula products so much here and here – OH and here – if you’re not familiar, but I promise it’s the best! To say I’m obsessed might…

The New Skincare Brand I’m Trying for Extra Hydration

It’s been a minute since I wrote about skincare and new products I’m loving (I’m constantly trying new things!), so I thought I’d take today to tell y’all about IMAGE Skincare available at Dermstore. Dermstore has been around for forever and it’s one of my favorite places for skincare products because they have all the best brands – including this new brand – IMAGE Skincare. I’ve been so impressed with…

The Skincare Routine I’m Loving [Summer 2019]

Wow it’s been forever since I’ve written a beauty post on here! I realize that I share a good amount of beauty (mainly hair) on Instagram, but I lack at bringing that same content to the blog, so I’m sorry about that friends! It’s been a long time since I shared my skincare routine and that’s for a couple reasons. 1. I never feel like I KNOW enough to share…

7 Things Making Your Skin Freak Out

As part of my goal to get better at skincare, I want to learn about more than just what products to use. Y’all know I love testing things out and giving recommendations when I find something I love (like Tula products or what the heck to do for hormonal acne – more on this later), and then I also like to get to the WHY behind certain issues. What I’ve…

5 Quick Tips for Anti-Aging Around the Eye

Y’all know that I’ve been trying to get better at skincare and slowly but surely I think I’m getting there! Some days I forget to do anything but throw on moisturizer or whatever, but some days, man some days I’m on it! The thing about skincare is that it’s kind of like working out. You really do see positive changes the more effort or time you put into the routine…

The Holiday Tula Products Y’all Have to Gift (Or Keep for Yourself!)

Are y’all sick of me talking about Tula yet?! HA! I feel like between the posts and Stories, I’m always mentioning it, but I just love it so much. It’s the one brand that’s stuck around throughout the years and I feel like I must share the info! Plus, it’s something I always end up gifting a lot of Tula this time of year – my friends, sisters and mama…

3 Reasons I’ve Been Using Tula & Loving It

I’ve shared that I use Tula on Insta Stories before, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized I hadn’t dedicated a blog post to it. Which is kinda funny because I’ve been literally using it for years and it’s one of my favorite skincare lines. I’ve been using them in some way or another since all the way back when they were first getting started – maybe back in…

5 Things Keeping My Skin Hydrated This Summer

I’ll be honest that I’ve been blessed with pretty regular skin. I don’t get a ton of breakouts and it honestly doesn’t give me TOO much of an issue, but y’all know I’ve been trying to take better care of it. Honestly, it not being too much of a problem area has made me lazy with it over the years – and I thought it was time to change that.…

The Makeup Routine I Rarely Leave the House Without

Even though we talk a lot about beauty on BTD and I’m a Southern girl who loves to get all dolled up on occasion, honestly, I’m pretty low maintenance with my routine. Rarely am I into something that takes more than 20 minutes or makes me look unnatural. I’m much more into easy, effortless beauty routines or products. Because as you probably know, I’m constantly running 20 minutes behind, ha!

4 Things I Just Learned About Skincare No. 1

So…I wanted to start a skincare series that’s basically Skincare For Dummies (aka me right now). I LOVE learning about new topics (as you know), so I’ll be sharing the best or most interesting things I’ve learned about skincare every month or so. Some stuff you’ll probably know, some you may not, but I hope you learn alongside me through this series! I’m really, really excited about it. I’ll be sure to share the products I’m loving slash actually seeing results from along the way too.
