Just because you might be in your prime doesn’t mean you can’t wear Rem Beauty. It is not just for young girls. I m loving the Glossy Balm in the shade Cosmo. It is a nourishing lip treatment that doubles as a high-shine tinted gloss. It has hyaluronic acid and replenishing super-fruit antioxidants. I love the color and texture.

The Dreamglow Highlight Serum is a hydrating, lightweight serum that provides a shimmering veil for face or décolleté. It can be used alone or mixed with your favorite complexion products. It is perfect for mature skin.

The Starlet Lustrous Liquid Eyeshadow is a pigmented, high-performance liquid shadow in stunning lustrous shades. I am loving the shade Siren.

AISPIRE MD was created by Dr. Liu as she collaborated with Korean developers to combine the cutting edge of science and the soul of nature in skincare. There are four amazing products and I’m just so proud of Dr. Liu and this incredible line.

The DNA Moisturizer contains salmon PDRN (2%). This is a high concentration of wild Pacific salmon DNA for skin regeneration. It is currently the highest concentration of Salmon PDRN in a cream worldwide.

I have been reaching for the Instant Age Rewind Eraser Makeup Treatment from Maybelline lately, and I finally understand why it has such a cult following.

This formula feels lightweight but delivers real coverage. It instantly brightens under eyes, smooths the look of fine lines, and evens out skin without settling or looking heavy. The goji berry infused formula keeps my skin feeling hydrated throughout the day, and I love that it works as both makeup and treatment.

The applicator makes it incredibly easy to use. Check it out on my Instagram Reel. Just twist until product appears, apply directly to the skin, and blend outward. It is perfect for busy mornings or touch ups on the go. I also appreciate that the applicator is protected with an anti microbial system, so it stays clean without needing water.

This is one of those products that truly simplifies your routine while still giving polished, fresh results. If you are looking for a foundation that covers dark circles, softens fine lines, and gives a natural finish, this one is worth trying.

Happy Makeup Monday! Today I’m sharing some of my everyday go to makeup goodies.

Personally, one of my faves is IT Cosmetics CC Cream. It is one of my holy grails. I use it everyday and it has an SPF of 50+ which is great for women at any age.

I’ve been using this Merit Beauty Solo Shadow and loving it. It is a great addition to your everyday routine.

The Rhode Skin Pocket Blush is soooooo good. It is a cream blush that is so easy to use and the shade Piggy is my favorite.

If you’re looking to sharpen your brows and create the perfect shape for your face, I’m loving the Billion Dollar Brows, Brows on Point Micro Brow Pencil. It’s perfect for filling in sparse areas.

The Tower 28 Swipe Serum Concealer is one of my faves. It is hydrating and instantly cover dark circles, redness, and blemishes. I also love that Tower 28 is a clean beauty brand.

Currently, I’m also hooked on the Charlotte Tilbury Rock N Kohl Quick Kajal Long Lasting EyePencil. The shade Barbarella Brown is very complimentary for any skin type.

My all time favorite mascara is Two Faced Better Than Sex. It is the perfect way to provide volume and  lengthen your lashes. You will love it.

I have been struggling with my eyebrows for years! Just recently, I ventured into the world of micro blading, and tried it twice, and it just didn’t stay and wore off very quickly both times (and I had great brow technicians). Honestly, I don’t believe it was compatible with my skin. But, now I have found Billion Dollar Beauty and Brow products and they are great!

The Brows on Point Micro pencil has an ultrafine tip that fills brows while mimicking the look of natural brow hairs.

The Raising Brows Pen has a precision tip that mimics hair-like strokes that blend with natural, permanent and micro bladed brows.

The Microblade Brow Effect Liquid Brow Pen is a no-commitment alternative to microblading. It has a precise tip and waterproof formula to help you achieve bold, defined brows. They stay put all day, with no fading, no appointments, and no stress.

Every day, I’m inspired by the beauty of living here in Newport Beach…the sunshine, the ocean air, the fashion, the food, the friendships, the memories. Being able to share my lifestyle through my blog and social media has been one of the greatest joys of my life.

But one of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been writing for Newport Beach Living Magazine, led by the incredibly talented Kym Whitney. Each month, Kym curates a stunning, elevated publication that celebrates the very best of Orange County. I am honored to contribute my voice, my style, and my favorite finds to a magazine that reflects everything I love about living at the beach.

Along with Newport Beach Living, I also contribute to Newport Coast Living, another gorgeous publication that highlights the beauty, sophistication, and lifestyle of our coastal community. I love being part of both magazines, each with its own unique voice and audience, dedicated to celebrating the best of Southern California living.

A Magazine That Celebrates Coastal Luxury and Local Connection

Newport Beach Living Magazine doesn’t just report on our community, it truly spotlights the best parts. Kym and her team highlight inspiring women, local businesses, travel destinations, beauty trends, and unforgettable OC experiences. I admire this publication because it embraces authenticity. When I write for the magazine, I get to share real recommendations, products I actually love, restaurants my hubby Jeff and I actually step foot in, and places that bring joy, beauty, and meaning into my life. That alignment matters.

A Few of My Favorite Articles:

1. Coastal Glamour, Island Adventures & Fragrances I Adore

In this story, I celebrated those shimmering end-of-summer days with beauty, travel, and style favorites.

I featured two fragrances I can’t stop wearing:

• Born in Roma Donna Extradose Parfum

• Uomo Born in Roma Eau de Parfum

Both scents are warm, modern, and luxurious — perfect for transitioning into the cozy months ahead.

I also shared a peek into my recent trips:
A dreamy Hawaiian getaway that left me sun-kissed and inspired
A luxe staycation at Pelican Hill, one of my favorite escapes in Newport Beach
A fabulous night at A Restaurant in Long Beach with some of our closest friends — delicious bites, great wine, and the best company

2. Clean Beauty, Wellness & Self-Care That Makes You Glow

Spring always feels like a fresh start, and I love helping women feel beautiful and confident from the inside out.

In this column, I shared my obsession with Prepable Meals, created by my friend, Kim St. Clair. Every dish is portioned, nourishing, and delicious — and each purchase supports women’s shelters. That is food with heart.

I also highlighted my favorite clean-beauty picks from Beautycounter:

• Dew Skin Tinted Moisturizer with SPF

• All Bright Vitamin C Serum

• Beyond Gloss in Peony

These products deliver real results and keep my routine fresh and glowy.

Why Working Together is BETTER

I believe in collaboration that feels genuine, creative, and aligned. Newport Beach Living Magazine shares that same vision.

Together, we highlight:
Coastal living
Style and beauty

The magic of Orange County

I love working with Kym because she builds community, elevates local creators, and champions real stories. Our partnership is built on trust, authenticity, and shared passion — and I’m grateful for every opportunity to bring my lifestyle, fashion, and heart to her audience.

More Beautiful Stories Are On Their Way

Happy Makeup Monday, beauties! I’m diving into one of my all-time favorite brands and sharing a few tried-and-true gems that have been staples in my makeup bag for years. Whether you’re a die-hard MAC fan or just looking to explore some high-quality makeup must-haves, these picks are perfect for creating effortless, long-lasting looks. Let’s get into the MAC magic!

I have been using these products for so many years and I’m excited to be sharing some of my most favorites. I love the Pro Longwear Paint Pot Cream Eyeshadow in Painterly. It is a  highly pigmented, long-wearing, blendable formula that acts as an eye primer and cream eyeshadow.

The Brushstroke Liquid Eyeliner Pen is a water-resistant liquid eye liner pen with a precision brush tip that wears strong all day long for 24 hours.

I’m loving the Longwear Fluidline Eyeliner and Brow Gel is a long-wearing ultra-smooth gel liner that provides the precision of a liquid liner with a silkier, softer finish.

I have always loved so many different shades of the Mac Eyeshadows. They are all so good.

The Pro Brow Definer Tip Brow Pencil is perfect for doing hair like strokes that is smudge proof and waterproof.

I literally use these products every morning and night. I start with Neutrogena Hydroboost Cleanser, it is a fragrance-free cleansing gel with Hyaluronic Acid. This lightweight cleanser increases skin’s hydration level and locks in moisture while effectively washes away dirt, oil and makeup without leaving skin feeling dry or tight.

I then use Sunday Riley CEO Vitamin C Serum which visibly minimize pores, brightens dark spots, and target signs of aging. The CEO Afterglow is a moisturizer that nourishes skin with high-potency, advanced vitamin C and delivers a non-greasy, satin-skin finish.

I am also using the Clarins Double Eye Serum, which is a two-in-one formula that combines into one eye serum to visibly smooth, firm, and hydrate for more youthful-looking eyes. The Clarins Double Serum Anti Aging Serum is a two-in-one lightweight serum, that firms, boosts radiance, and diminishes the look of wrinkles and pores in as little as seven days.

I think one of the most important beauty holy grail products is Alastin Hyaluronic Acid Serum. It helps instantly boost skin hydration at the surface for smoother, more radiant looking skin.

I know you will love these skincare products as much as I do. You can shop by clicking on the links above.

Milk Makeup is a clean beauty brand that I am absolutely loving. Their products are vegan, cruelty-free, and made with skin-loving ingredients that give you that effortless, natural glow. From their Hydro Grip Primer to their Cream Blush Sticks and Kush Mascara, this brand has become my go-to for achieving fresh, dewy, everyday looks. If you’re into minimalist beauty routines or want clean, high-performance formulas that actually work, Milk Makeup is definitely worth trying.

The Hydro Grip Primer is a gel formula to lock in makeup for up to 12 hours. It boosts hydration and leaves. dewy glow.

Lip + Cheek is a cream blush that comes in 11 non comedogenic shades.

KUSH High Roll Mascara provides natural volume and lengthening of lashes.
