Ms. Healthy Face

I love to wear hats year round, especially in the summer when I'm outside the most and need to guard against harmful UV rays. (No wrinkles for this healthy face!! Well, at least those caused by the sun). For inspiration, I've put together four summer hat situations.... I love the leather detail on the black wide-brim hat . Both the black and cafe au lait colored wide-brim hats can be worn year round - so it's a great staple/investment piece.  I love fedoras because they can be worn with almost any summer outfit. From summer dresses, to shorts and a tee, a fedora can make an outfit complete. Make sure to pick one with a little weight because sometimes strong winds, like at the beach, can blow your fedora right off. Snapbacks are great to throw on at the beach or when you're moving around a lot like at a music festival or block party. Super cute to wear with almost anything like a bathing suit, or jeans and a tank! Are you feelin any look?  Shop

Hi beauts! Today's barefaced muse is fellow beauty blogger and inspiration, Marianna Hewitt. She snapped this barefaced selfie a couple days ago while in Thailand. Her skin looks absolutely amazing, and it is always refreshing to see beautiful women, look just as beautiful without makeup. She, too, believes in minimal make-up! On the right, she has her go-to summer glowy make-up going on, which I absolutely love. It looks natural and fresh. If you haven't check out Marianna's blog, La La Mer, definitely don't miss out!

So if you can recall, I was looking for a phone case for my new iPhone5c. Well, I ended up purchasing a White Chanel Lego bag-inspired case from Velvet Caviar . They had a 20% discount promotion at the time, so it was the best deal out of all the other retailers.  Isn't it dreamy?! I love how crisp the white is. I had a hard time debating between the other colors it came in (black, light pink, yellow, and hot pink), but I was super thrilled with the white. It's especially pretty because the case has a glossy finish. An additional nice feature about this case is the removable chain. The sad part of the story is that it doesn't fit my iPhone5c because it really is meant for a 5s.  Both the cases come in super cute packaging  So, I contacted Velvet Caviar, and they so kindly shipped me this Navy Chanel Le Boy bag-inspired case. It's super cute! And the chain is so practical for this mommy of 2! (Although, hubby thinks it's quite annoying when I w

I have so many posts to do, but everything is on hold because Operation MiniMac failed when I realized the batteries in my old Mac keyboard corroded. ::sigh::  Thus, I am stuck blogging from my iPhone. It's super limiting, but I can do some basics, and I just have  to let you know about my new found fave. I went to Target to look for the e.l.f.  Cosmetics lip scrub, but they didn't have it.  On a whim, I ended up buying this Lip Balm in Nude. The SPF15 caught my eye. I've tried other tinted lip balms like Maybelline's Baby Lips and Burt's Bees, but I find those formulas aren't  moist enough for my lips, and the colors always seem to fall into the lines on my lips and accentuate some of the cracking. I've been loving this  e.l.f.  one though because it is sheer enough to not draw attention to the dry skin on my lips, but pigmented enough to give your lips a little pop. It's super hydrating so I can use it instead of my Aquaphor, when my lips j

Hello beautiful faces! It's Wednesday! I double-checked to make sure it was really #BarefacedWednesdays! Today's' sans makeup muse is @lanadelrey! I've been obsessed with her since I first heard her hauntingly beautiful voice a couple years back. She had me transfixed the first time I heard her sing about a man in blue jeans and a white shirt (I was, at the time, in love with my boyfriend, now hubby, whose daily uniform was exactly that).  Without makeup #LanaDelRey is so gorgeous though! I mean she's super, super cute! I just love her easy-vintage style, her blinged-out tooth, her long red hair, and her genuine feminine charm.  Her infamous #cateye is definitely her signature look though, rightfully so! Her glam is on point 👌 Which look do you prefer? #nomakeup or #glam?
