Fit Skin Fridays

Let’s chat skincare, shall we?

One brand that I’ve loved using for years is Dermalogica. I started out by using their spot treatment, and one time in Ulta, I had a Dermalogica rep recommend that I try their Cleansing Body Wash for my chest and back acne — and the rest was history. I was hooked.

The kind folks over at Dermalogica invited me to try out their Fit Skin Fridays program over the summer. A disclaimer, I was gifted this consultation service and set of products, but I had no obligation to post about it. The program worked incredibly well for me, so I figured I’d detail my results in a blog post!

7 Wineries in Virginia You Need to Visit

The Best Wineries in Virginia

Maybe I’m a bit biased because I’m a native, but I think Virginia produces some of the best wine in the country. Did you know that there are over 230 wineries in the state of Virginia? We take our wine production pretty seriously over here!

The month of October is Virginia Wine Month, and IMO it’s the best time to plan a winery trip in our great state. Towards the end of the month, you’ll get stunning fall foliage views, and you can also try all of the incredible cuisine that our state has to offer.

What to Wear to NYFW

True life: I attempted to write this post yesterday, sat for an hour typing this out (and organizing images and proper links) and when I was 95% done with the post, my WordPress tab reloaded and I lost it all. Pro tip: always write your blog posts in a separate editor, because WordPress won’t always auto-save your drafts!

Anyway: the title of this post is a little deceiving, but this is something that’s been weighing heavy on my heart for a bit. When I was at NYFW last week, I was at an event and having a great time with someone that I thought was my blog friend. Turns out: I was very wrong.

NYFW Recap: Day 1 

First things first: I cannot believe I haven’t updated the blog for a week! I can’t remember the last time I’ve gone this long without any updates. I tried to schedule a couple more posts before leaving for NYFW, but I just ran out of time.

Now that my week is winding down, I figured it was the perfect time to start sharing some recaps of New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2019. Out of all the NYFW’s I’ve attended, this season has to be my absolute favorite. Let me share some trends with you that I can’t wait to rock next year!
