Hello! I hope everyone is having a wonderful week. As we are approaching the cooler months, my skin is going through some changes. I have recently changed up my skin care routine and it does include retin a. I am on the lowest dose and use it three times a week. On the days that I don’t use my retin a, I have been using the new Double Serum from Clarins. They recently reformulated it and I love it. It’s very hydrating and my skin just soaks it up.  It’s very lightweight and the smell is amazing. If you have ever tried any products from Clarins, then you know that their products all have an amazing spa like scent. I feel like the serum has reduced some of the redness in my skin. I have used this in the morning as well, but do prefer it for nighttime. I am trying out the Ordinary Buffet right now and I use that as one of my morning serums. I feel like I am always changing out my skin care, but this is one that I have stuck with since they came out with the new formula.

Next I have been using the Dear, Klairs Moisturizing Toner. I love this toner because it’s so hydrating and does not contain alcohol. The formula is a lot thicker than what I am used to, but I don’t mind it at all. At first I thought it might be a little heavy for my skin for day time, but that’s not the case at all. With some toners my face will get a little red and feel very tight, but with this toner my skin just feels hydrated and doesn’t get red at all.

Kristin Gehm mentioned on her YouTube channel quite a few times that she loves the Trader Joe’s Coconut Body Butter. I don’t get to Trader Joe’s very often, but the last time I went there I did pick it up. This is an amazing product and very affordable. I use this almost every night and sometimes in the morning on my legs and arms. It is not heavy feeling and dries down pretty quickly. I have tried other body butters before and typically don’t like them because they seem to always leave a greasy feeling on my body. This body butter does not do that at all. Next time you are at Trader Joe’s do yourself a favor and pick this up.

Something that I have been reaching for lately is the RCMA No Color Powder. I use this under my eyes to set my concealer. It does not emphasize my crow’s feet at all. It really brightens up my under eye area. The only thing I don’t like it the packaging. I end up unscrewing the whole top and dipping my brush into the jar that way. This is such a good powder and very affordable. I have the 3 ounce bottle and I have had it for a very long time. A little goes a long way.

I love Jouer products. Today I received their new full coverage foundation and this cool brush. I am so excited to try it!  I have quite a few of Jouer products, and they are all fabulous. One of my favorite products is their Essential Matte & Shimmer Eyeshadow palette. If you are looking for a neutral palette than this is the perfect palette for you. I have neutral palettes from Tom Ford and Viseart. Yes, they are beautiful, but I find myself always reaching for this palette. It is the perfect neutral colors and the quality is right up there with my high end palettes.

I have talked about my weight loss journey before. I am a member of Corinne Crabtree’s program. I love it so much. If you ever have the opportunity to try her free program (she offers it a few times a year) then do it. It’s not like anything else out there. She also has an amazing podcast that she uploads to a couple of times a week. Something that I have been struggling a lot with is stomach issues. I have trouble with certain foods, especially since having my gall bladder taken out a few years ago. Corinne recommended a book to read called The Clever Guts Diet by Dr. Michael Mosley. I just ordered it yesterday and will start reading it as soon as it comes in. If anyone has read this book, I would love to hear what you thought about it.

Let me know what fall beauty products you’ve been enjoying along with the cooler weather.

    Nice reviews. I have been curious of the Jouer products but more so the lipsticks. I see some of the most beautiful shimmery metallics Jouer has. I should just go ahead and get one at least. Have you used them at all?

    I use the Clarins Double Serum and the toner for dry skin (yellow one). I love love love the toner and I don’t have dry skin. I am still debating on the double serum. Why do you think Clarins is not reviewed by more YT and bloggers?

    The Clarins Double Serum is amazing! I tried it a while back and loved it. I often change up my skin care routine as well. I’m curious about The Ordinary Buffet as I’ve been wanting to try it.

    I also love the rcma powder and totally agree about the packaging. I saved an old loose powder container from another brand and transfer it into that as needed.

    That Trader Joe’s body butter seems like humble stuff, but it’s great on elbows and knees.

    I usually don’t go for body butter because I also don’t like the greasy feel of them but I’ll have to give Trader Joe’s Coconut Body Butter a try next time I stop by there.

Just a few vacation highlights while we were able Just a few vacation highlights while we were able to enjoy some sunny outdoor fun.

Currently enjoying the same views, but from under an umbrella. No complaints from me!

Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of Let’s face it, we all have insecurities. One of mine is the vertical lip lines in and above my lips. 

When @rebekahstarkey_np told me about this type of treatment, I was intrigued (but nervous). I did my research and decided it was time to just go for it. 

The numbing cream and Rebekah’s skill and attention to detail made a huge difference. I didn’t feel a thing and I’m so excited to see the difference in a few short weeks.

Skinvive is a hyaluronic acid treatment that is used for hydration, texture and radiance.

Yes, I did have some swelling and bruising, but things are already looking better.

Skin Pharm started in Nashville and now has locations in Texas, Georgia, Florida, the Carolina’s and opening soon in IL. Check to see if they have one near you for all of your cosmetic dermatology needs to help you feel more confident too!💖

One dress, two looks!✨ This soft + comfy green One dress, two looks!✨

This soft + comfy green knit tank dress from Coldwater Creek comes with a matching long sleeve sweater for endless styling options. #ad

Wear it during the day as a tank style and switch it up for the night with the cropped sweater when the temperature cools off.

It’s flattering, fun, and available in multiple colors—perfect for every body. 

I love wearing it with the tall black boots and adding a few finishing touches.
