Odds and Ends

June 25, 2021June 24, 2021 by whoorl

My obsession with sun protection grows every week so I just upped my hat game for pool days. This one keeps my face, shoulders, and neck fully shaded.

I’m the condiment queen and approve of many of these.

Up to 30% off at True Botanicals this weekend only! Here’s my list of favorites.

Deb Haaland is a badass.

Exa Beauty just launched their Light Show Color Melt Pigments and they are so fun. I really love the Dear Diary shade for adding a bit of sparkle to any existing eye shadow. Wearing it here.

Just received this top in the blue/white pinstripe and it’s even prettier than I expected! A summer staple.

This tweet made me LOL. I think I shall do that as well.

11 tinted sunscreens for dark skin tones that don’t leave skin a chalky mess.

Flash dance mobs always make me smile.

Technology is creating an ideal of beauty that literally doesn’t exist.

How cute are these belts?! Perfect for belting dresses and the price is right.

Celeste Barber is so damn funny. This video in particular is a good way to get a feel for her schtick.

I’m posting my go-to summer face tonight on Reels and this stick in Brûlée is the star. It’s just so easy-to-use and the glow screams summer bronze goddess.

Loving the best beauty Instagrams of the week feature via Vogue.

Happy Friday! Wishing you a wonderful weekend – we are headed out to Colorado for a bit and can’t wait for some cooler temps.

I’m not going to lecture you on the importance of wearing facial sunscreen, buuuut not wearing one is probably the quickest to looking weathered before your time. The sun is your face’s #1 enemy in terms of staying youthful-looking and radiant, but finding a good sunscreen is hard, trust me, I know.

Y’all, I’ve tried a lot. A LOT. And the majority have been either too greasy, too oily, too shiny, too white, too pasty, too drying, too stinky, too shimmery, too sticky, too thick, too thin, too heavy, or bad under makeup.

I’m like Goldilocks on steroids over here.

But! I’ve found some winners and I’m ready to share them with you!

March 24, 2021January 14, 2022 by whoorl

Ladies, this is the post I’ve been waiting to share with you because if there is one makeup category that becomes elusive as hell once you hit the 4-0, it’s that of foundation. Women of a certain age, do you cringe at the thought of what a “full coverage” foundation might do to the ~~cracks and crevices~~ fine lines and slight wrinkles on your lovely face? Do you find that the more foundation you apply, the older you look? Are you confused with application techniques? Well, let me whisper sweet foundation nothings into your ear. Yes, it’s time to talk about the best foundations in clean beauty for women over 40.

My Daily Supplements

January 21, 2021June 8, 2021 by whoorl

I’ve never been a major supplement taker, mainly because I’m forgetful, but also because I remember reading that some supplements “just produce expensive urine.” True? Who knows?

What I DO know is that my body does need certain vitamins and supplementation, given some subpar results in my bloodwork. So, be sure to always check with your physician if supplementation is right for you!

Best Things I Bought in 2020

December 29, 2020December 12, 2021 by whoorl

2020. What can I even say about 2020? Good riddance, perhaps?

Considering the vast majority of my time was spent at home, my purchases and spending habits definitely shifted, and looking back, none of my most-used purchases were beauty or style-related this year. Unsurprisingly, they were food, drink, and wellness-related so I thought I would share!
