It’s 2015! Happy New Year!! Can you believe it, another year has come and gone. It has been a great year for my family, watching Samuel grow into such a fun (and funny) little boy, we were able to see my out-of-state grandparents (aka the coolest people I know) many times, and celebrated many good times with friends and family! During 2014 I was also given the opportunity to begin writing for a South Florida magazines group, which has been an incredible experience! My sincere thanks to everyone for following and reading!
Sidenote: Can we talk about how sick this month’s cover looks with Miami Heat’s own Birdman? Love it!
Well it’s a new year which means new resolutions for a “new you”. Start out by treating yourself to some new beauty treats! Here are my top picks for the month:
NARS Velvet Stick: Dare to be daring in 2015 with these new sticks that are sure to intensify any eye look! You can use them to line and shade your lids and they are so velvety, they glide right on! Available in black, brown, grey, blue, and purple to help compliment any eye color. ($28, NARS Cosmetics, Nordstrom)
BECCA Shimmering Skin Protector Pressed Limited Edition Champagne Gold Highlighter: Keep up your festive glow with this new illuminator for your face and body. Like the other colors in the line, this limited edition shade is like crushed gemstones in a compact on cheekbones, brow bones, inner corners of the eyes and even in the center of lips for a fuller pout. ($38, Ulta)
Dr. Brandt Skincare Microdermabrasion Skin Exfoliant: If you’ve been meaning to schedule a facial or microdermabrasion but haven’t had the time, you’re in luck with this unbelievable exfoliant by Dr. Brandt. Remember, your skin deserves a happy new year as well! ($78, Sephora)
Laura Mercier Body Butter: Starting your post-holiday diet but missing all the decadent desserts? These delicious body butters will cure any sweet tooth without the calories! My favorites are Crème Brulee and Almond Coconut! ($35; Laura Mercier and department stores)
Essie Smokin’ Hot Nail Polish: If you’re feeling a little gray that all of the parties are behind us, you can at least show it in style with my go-to gray polish! Smokin’ Hot is a deep gray crème with purple undertones and flattering on any skin tone! ($5-9, Amazon and drug stores)
Cheers to a fabulous year ahead!
