“How Do Your Nails STAY White?”

Good question! I think this is because I don’t get regular nail polish. Instead, I get the powder, which is much thicker than typical nail polish and it doesn’t stain as easily! So my nails stay white (and zero chipping too!) for at least 3 weeks! I love it!

“What Do You Tell Your Hairdresser When You Get a Haircut?”

I get this question a lot, so I wanted to address it. I JUST started sporting short hair towards the end of 2017 and have LOVED it! I’ve always been a HUGE proponent of layers and always ask for as many as possible – especially around my face. I find that having lots of layers helps give my hair personality AND it tremendously helps with achieving the volumized look I love so much. Honestly, without layers, I feel like my hair looks SO “blah.” I always try to go to an Aveda salon because I love the way they’re taught to cut hair in training – I think they have a specific technique or something? I don’t know; I’ve just always gone to an Aveda salon! If you live in Dallas, I go to Jennifer at Michael Raymond salon in Mockingbird Station.

“What’s You Skincare Routine?”

Ohhh this is a tricky one because I’m JUST now getting into skincare and I feel like my routine is constantly switching as I learn more. And quite frankly, I feel like I’m still trying to figure out what works best for me! At the moment, I don’t really do much (but want to do more!) I use coconut oil to take off my eye makeup, a generic cleanser to remove my face makeup, all-over day moisturizer, eye cream, and facial cream for night.

BEAUTY

“How Do You Get So Much Volume In Your Hair?”

This question. I LOVE it! Because I am so passionate (is that weird?) about hair volume! I truly believe that EVERYONE (yes, you!) can get more volume in their hair. And it’s part of my mission to help all of you figure out what works for you by sharing every trip I know and learn along the way. I’ve written a few blog posts on the topic and filmed a few youtube tutorials as well! Check out my hair category page to learn more!

BEAUTY

“Do You Use Self-Tanner?”

Yes! I honestly go back and forth on my commitment to it though because I feel like it’s A LOT of work to keep up with. And it get’s all over my clothes and sheets. BUT I will say that I’m most confident when I’m wearing it! I’ve only ever tried St. Tropez and have loved every minute of it. It doesn’t make you look orange or yellow and gives such a natural glow. I’m a big fan!

“Which Foundation Do You Use?”

Gosh, this is such a hard question because I feel like I’m always trying new ones! And it really (also) depends on whether or not I’m using my self-tanner or not. I go through phases where I’m like, “I can totally pull off the pale/natural look” and then I freak out, feel ugly and resort back to using self-tanner. ha! Whatever the case, I truly love L’Oreal’s Infallible in shades 205 and 207.  I also love Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation in color 5.5.
