Just a little public service announcement on amazing deals to be had on one of my most favorite brands. Check out some of my favorites here. Today through April 24th, 20% off goodies like Divine Oil and Crushed Cabernet Scrub. Not to mention some amazing snags on sale items.
This week, I lost 2.9 pounds for a total weight loss of 31.9 pounds. WHOA! So excited to report a big number and blowing by a huge goal. After a couple slow weeks, I can identify with the quote above so much. While we might have some failures, the key is keeping after it for me in this journey. And it is so worth it.
This weekend, I am in Dallas for a conference and, for the first time since blogging, I feel confident and exuberant about picking out my clothes. Being around fashion has always been a joy for me. But pulling on those smaller jeans, a tighter dress and my old leather jacket feels so darn good.
Once again, Nutrisystem makes it a cinch for travel. I’ve been stocking up on the bars – favorites are Peanut Butter Granola and Trail Mix. And yes, I will go as far to say that the Thin Mint Crisp Bar is basically candy. So yum! They will be stocked in my purse for meals on the go and to avoid those last-minute travel-related hunger pangs.
Check out last week’s Nutrisystem post here.

The Spring/Summer collection from Laura Mercier just hit counters. And this collection, inspired by cultures of South and Central America, have definitely been warming me up. Did I mention it was in the 40s here this week? Where are you, Spring? The rich, earthy colors are easy to wear and suit a summer glow perfectly. Or manage to fake one until the sun reappears.
First up is the product that seems to me the one that is getting the most buzz. Laura Mercier Limited Edition Baked Blush Bronzer in Ritual
is one of Laura’s classic formulas but with five shades that blend together. Each tile of bronzer is hand-mixed. When I first applied Ritual, I had a WHOA reaction. It was pretty darn dark. But for my light to medium skin and with a lighter hand, it proved a great option for a more dramatic warming. The natural color stays beautifully. And will transition well into the summer months.
I’m a long time fan of Laura’s Crème Eye Liner and the new Espresso shade offers a softer version of black that works so well in the summer. If you are on the hunt for a long-wear eyeliner, give this waterproof formula a whirl. Could it just be perfect for the beach? I think yes.
And I’ve saved the best for last. These creamy lipsticks hitting counters lately have me swooning. Laura Mercier Limited Edition Lip Crayon in Folklore has that hydrating feeling but great long-wear. And the shocking pink translates to a punch of spring color on the lips. Bonus points for the packaging, allowing great precision application.

So thrilled to be a part of the current issue of Katie and Meg‘s joint venture, To & From Magazine! There are some great ideas for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day Graduation and, of course, I picked out some ideas for the Beauty Junkie’s in your lives. Enjoy!
Last night I had the great pleasure of fetting famed designer Rebecca Minkoff at Saks Tulsa. Part of her #RMRoadShow, Rebecca spent a “Girls Night Out” signing bags and enjoying some beauty treats. There was a ponytail bar, manicures with MAC nail polish and touch ups by Laura Mercier. Not to mention a fashion show of Rebecca’s latest spring looks (I’ve got my eye on this dress).
But the best part for this beauty junkie was sitting down with Rebecca before the festivities to talk about her own beauty routine. Whether on the road or back in New York City, I got the dirt on her favorites. First, what is in this fabulous purse she’s carrying? Below are her tried and true favorites:
And for her regular beauty routine in NYC? Facials at Joanna Vargas, massages at Bliss Spa and regular Pravana Keratin Fusion Texture Control treatment on the hair (FYI this is safer, newer version of keratin).
What a thrill it was to have this sweet and fashionable designer in Tulsa. Thanks for having us, Saks!
A reminder on how we view our own beauty – it is a can’t miss:
Kudos to Dove on their continued work to spread a healthy message about beauty.
