Hair can be your best accessory: it’s totally unique to you, you can change it, color it, style it and make it different as much or as little as you want! But of course there are always challenges and the grass seems greener on the other side of the hair fence. For me, I have super fine hair and luckily I have a decent amount of it so I do whatever I can to make it appear as full and volumized as possible.
If you had asked me before putting together this post if I was a makeup girl, I probably would have said “not really”. Don’t get me wrong, I love to feel beautiful but I grew up riding horses and coming home smelly with dirt under my nails and in my hair and didn’t really discover fashion and makeup until I was 14! Kind of late to the game I know. My mother was never big on makeup either so most everything I learned was from magazines, movies and friends (don’t worry mom, I learned so much more from you and it’s much more important stuff! like how to pick a great horse!).
As a child, I remember my mom spritzing the sweetest, most floral scent. I would sneak into her vanity and spray myself with her signature perfume. Now, I love to try various fragrances and depending on my mood, I’ll try perfumes with different notes. I will still always love floral aromas as it will bring back the memory of my mother. Currently, I’ve taken a rather interesting approach to my perfume selection….I’ve chosen a cologne by Hanae Mori with notes of blackcurrant and spearmint and was inspired by the sea. But on a more traditional note, I wanted to share some of my favorite perfumes I’ve tried over the years.
In these harsh winter months, my skin gets so dry and itchy just like so many others. I’ve found some beauty products that really work and hydrate to make my skin feel soft and smooth during this cold weather.
1. Coconut Oil | Not just your ordinary cooking oil! Coconut oil has so many uses and is a great natural way to moisturize dry skin
As a little girl, I was always fascinated by my mom getting ready in the mornings. She was so beautiful and at my young age I thought she was painting her face. I would with her at the vanity and copy her look. Of course, she looked so put together and I looked like a clown.
As an adult, I’ve learned how to properly apply makeup and no longer worry about looking like a hot mess. I absolutely love cosmetics! To be honest, I wear minimal makeup most days however on special occasions I always get my look done by a makeup artist. Throughout the years, they’ve shared with me their beauty tips and suggested products that work with my skin. I want to share with you, the cosmetics that I think every woman should own.
The holiday season is upon us and I still have so much holiday shopping left to do! One of my favorite things to gift to my girls and the ladies in my family are gifts that make them feel beautiful and like its spa day everyday. Beauty gifts are super easy gifts because what girl doesn’t want to feel pampered, special and try new beauty lotions and potions. With this in mind, Seek Wander Share created a holiday gift guide for all your beauty needs!
