    Jumbo Chiffon Scrunchies

    These oversized chiffon scrunchies from Free People have been a long-time favorite, but I wore one at the end of a French braid last week and got stopped TWICE by people asking where it was from. So I must tell the people it’s from Free People! They offer great hold without creasing and in eleven bold colors, they’re a fun way to add flair to your hair.

    Typology Exfoliating Lip Trio

    This lip trio from Typology Paris includes a resurfacing peel, a repairing mask and tinted lip oil and somehow it keeps my lips in equilibrium — especially in the winter when my lips get super dry and peely. The exfoliating ingredients in the resurfacing peel remove dead skin cells, leaving your lips soft and smooth. The mask is packed with hyaluronic acid. And, the tinted oil, which comes in five shades, is enriched with squalene, jojoba oil and vitamin E. On no-makeup-makeup days I do this (just adding a little lip liner with the tinted oil) et voilà!

    Tinted Brow Gel

    When the star is out sick in theater, they send in the understudy. Sometimes when I run out of a product, I also take chances on an unknown replacement. (Sorry for being wild and spontaneous!) When I ran out of my trusty Gimme Brow gel from Benefit, I decided to try this tinted brow gel from NYX which is *checks notes* less than $10. I’ve been using it the past few months and I think it’s actually a permanent replacement. Gimme Brow, take a bow. Although it’s called “brow glue” this formula isn’t sticky at all, but it does live…

    Kitsch Flat Lay Clips

    I love a butterfly clip but God forbid your head hits a headboard or grazes the back of a chair, you get stabbed in the skull. That’s where my obsession with these flat-lay claw clips from Kitsch began. These clips, which come in packs of two, have the same ease of use as butterfly clips, but are so much more comfortable, especially if you think you might find yourself on a plane, train or automobile.

    Clarins Multi-Active Day Cream

     I didn’t think this day cream from Clarins could get better and then they went and reformulated it. Like many of the working moms I know, this cream is a killer multi-tasker: it moisturizes, targets fine lines, smooths skin texture and remembers to RSVP to every single birthday party. Clarins’ blend of Niacinamide and their new Organic Sea Holly bio-extract supercharges this cream to strengthen the skin, giving it a silky, hydrated glow.

    My Long-Awaited Hair Tutorial

    I finally made good on my promises and posted a hair tutorial. I linked all of the products I use in the HAIR TUTORIAL highlight on my Instagram profile, but here’s a quick rundown: I start by drying my hair in this lightweight, antimicrobial hair wrap towel. Then I apply Olaplex bonding oil for heat protection and shine. Next, it’s time for my secret weapon for lasting volume: Aveda volumizing tonic (once you get addicted to it, and mark my words you will, invest in the bulk refill). Then, a little styling foam, which is great for boosting volume without…

    Kitsch Bungee Elastics

    Speaking of hair ties, I just discovered these brilliant bungee elastics from Kitsch. Whenever you want a voluminous ponytail these are amazing because traditional hair ties tend to kill all the volume you’ve created when you have to loop them over your hair. These bungee elastics wrap around even the thickest of ponytails without diminishing your ‘do or pulling too tightly.

    L. Erickson Braided Ponytail Holders

    These braided ponytail holders from L. Erickson are my absolute favorite hair ties, going on five years. They’re strong enough for thick hair and offer a good amount of grip without causing breakage (or breaking themselves). They come in six different color-themed set ties so work with any hair color. I just ordered a new set, only because I’m really good at losing them, not because they need replacing.

    I’m back with another haircare recommendation, did you miss me? This time I’ve turned my focus to this award-winning healthy hair brush from Manta.

It’s flexible, gentle and exfoliates the scalp, leaving hair silky and smooth. Every day feels like a spa day with this brush.

    Crystal Bow Barrette

    We all know that bows are having a real moment this season, and I immediately raced to checkout upon seeing this crystal bow barrette from Lelet NY. It’s the perfect way to add a little elevated holiday sparkle while keeping the rest of your look comfy and classic. I also think it’s the kind of holiday sparkle that I’ll be wearing throughout the winter season.
