In case you hadn’t noticed, in the last (almost) two years we made a big move - from Los Angeles to my hometown, Seattle. As anyone who’s moved can relate, moving to a “new” city means finding all new people, go-to places, and adjusting to a new routine.
After having lived in LA for 10+ years, it was a difficult quest to find replacements for all my go-to beauty pit-stops. The thing at the top of my list was to find someone local that I trusted for botox, skin care, beauty maintenance, and whenever I felt in need of an extra “glow up”.
I love experimenting with new beauty products – it’s kind of my thing. Although I love the discovery process, I know it's not for everyone!
‘Tis the season to sparkle, hustle-n-bustle so let me simplify things for ya and introduce you to a revolutionary skincare brand called, NEOVA.
It’s called, Smart Skincare for reason! It’s the only brand proven to treat, prevent and repair photodamaged skin. Oh hi, miracle worker. Their products are scientifically tested (not on our furry friends, but on Dermatologists and Ophthalmologists instead) and creating breakthroughs in the anti-aging realm – woo hoo. I don’t know about you, Mamas, but I’m always trying to keep that twenty something glow.
Ok mamas... I don’t know about you, but I live for my nighttime wind-down routine. In a world where the #juggleisreal between Mommyhood, married life, model life and being an entrepreneur, it’s essential for me to take time to protect my energy, show myself some self-love, and unwind at the end of the day. How else do you wake up the BEST version of yourself each morning??
I’m kicking off a brand new series on The Model Mama Show called, The Expert Series. I couldn’t be more excited about this and the opportunity to share so much wisdom with you from the best in the business. This new wave of episodes is going to be a deep dive with my favorite specialists in their respective fields. And most of them are people I’ve either worked, hired, or been listening to for my own personal growth. As a result, I’ve learned so much from them and I wanted to share their inspiring stories and insights with all of you.
Earlier this month, I had the privilege of co-hosting the grand opening of the newest location of this amazing facial bar: FaceHaus. Anytime you get to work with good friends on a project, it’s always a million times more fun (shout-out to Carly, Kerry and Jen)! My other favorite part of embarking on this new journey of being a blogger + influencer is I just love experiencing new innovative products and experiences that I can’t wait to share with all my Modern Mamas. This new, quick, and over-the-top lovely facial spa certainly takes the cake. It’s the perfect solution for busy Mamas that want to boost their skin care regime.
Hi truly amazing Mamas! I hope you all had an incredible week and a fabulous fall so far. It’s Friday and you know what that means… a new episode of The Model Mama Show is now LIVE (woo hoo!). It’s time for episode 11 of our FEATURE FRIDAY series and I’m thrilled to announce this week’s truly inspiring Mama and major beauty guru. Sara Happ (AKA The Lip Expert) is amazing in every way. She’s the Founder of her wildly successful luxury lip product line, Sara Happ Inc. This mega babe is also a devoted and loving Mama to her adorable little girl, Julia.
Ok Mamas, I’m talking all about the B-word today. By “B-word,” I mean B-O-T-O-X. For some reason I feel like this topic is still a little taboo. However everyone gets it, but no one wants to admit it or talk about it. Well I think that’s boring! Because this is such a relevant and hot topic - I’m diving in. For the record, my goal isn’t to convince you to do anything. My mission all along is simply to educate and empower on all topics – beauty is one of my favorites. When I launched The Model Mama, I vowed to honestly share all my secrets in hopes it would allow other Mamas to make informed decisions about how to feel like the absolute best version of them-self.
Hi truly amazing Mamas! I hope you all had an incredible week and a fabulous Summer. It’s Friday and you know what that means… a new episode of The Model Mama Show is now LIVE (woo hoo! ). It’s week 9 of our FEATURE FRIDAY series and I’m thrilled to announce this week’s truly inspiring Mama and major beauty guru. Lauren Gores Ireland, is amazing in every way. She’s the Co-Founder of the new skin and beauty line, Summer Fridays. The mega babe is also the Creative Director behind her successful lifestyle blog, You + Lu. Most importantly, she’s a devoted wifey and a loving Mama to her adorable little boy, Evan.
When it comes to makeup, I’m a firm believer that healthy skin is the most important piece. If your skin doesn’t look amazing, then all other make-up doesn’t really make that big of a difference. Sorry, I know that sounds harsh, but stay with me. I have all the insight on achieving that perfect GLOW in just a few steps.
On the days where I’m in busy mom mode, I like to keep my beauty routine and fashion choices simple, spending just 10 minutes putting myself together and getting out the door. Here’s how I do that in just eight steps.
