A Southern Girl's Guide To All Things Beautimous...
A lot of things happened when I traveled to Louisiana for Thanksgiving. I realized the hair oil I brought was just not good and the whole “big hair” thing is really not me. It was solidified when the potion lady kindly put to me “you really look better with short hair.” Thanks mom for the [...]
I’m currently channeling my super girl powers here in Louisiana. I am so relaxed and it is hard to put on makeup. I am having a blast hanging out with family, but I plan on putting on my face at least once before the husband arrives. In honor of Paris and this time of thanks [...]
Over the past few years I have gotten into using essential oils. I realized with all the traveling and life in general I needed some natural pick-me-ups and something to help me relax. It started with lavender. At the yoga studio where I practice in DC, Tranquil Space, the teachers spray lavender aromatherapy mist during [...]
It’s time to embrace your curls for the fall. The leaves are falling and the temperatures are dropping. This means your hair needs one word. Moisture. It happens to me every fall. The start of dryness on my curls. This year I’m going to try something different. I plan to drink more water so hydration [...]

I have a confession to make. I really didn’t drink spirits until I met my husband. Yes, I had a whiskey, cognac, and scotch here and there. But, really savoring and enjoy a spirit, well wasn’t my thing. I am a wine girl. I love wine and believe one glass a day is actually good [...]
I remember when travel was easy. Security was a breeze to pass through, you didn’t have to put your liquids in Ziploc bags, and the majority of people didn’t dress as if they just rolled out of bed. Times have changed. Travel today is hard, even I will admit that. But, there are ways to [...]
Fall has arrived. While driving recently I noticed the leaves had started to change colors. Growing up in the South I was always curious of seasons. A season for different food, clothes, and daily living. I always knew I would eventually live in a place with seasons. There is something magical about seeing the days [...]
I never met a body oil I didn’t like. But I have met one that makes me want to embrace fall. I don’t mean the freezing cold, but golden leaves, crisp mornings, and taking things slow for the time of hibernation. It is also time to discover an oil that makes me crave a fireplace, [...]
