Looking and feeling great while traveling doesn’t have to be a stressful experience! To prevent having an inconvenient rendezvous with airport security, make sure your carry-on bags meet the airline’s size requirements before proceeding through the checkpoints. The TSA has strict regulations about carrying liquids, gels and aerosols. By mandate, all products must be in individual containers that are 3 oz. or smaller, and all products must be placed in one quart-size, zip-top, clear plastic bag.

Here are some TSA-approved (3 oz. or less) items that I suggest cramming into a quart-sized bag before takeoff:

For all you ladies-

Guinot Gommage Grain D’Eclat Gentle Face Exfoliating Cream When traveling, I sometimes go with the sunglasses and no makeup route, but still need my complexion to look bright and smooth. This will gently eliminate dead skin cells and smooth and refine skin’s texture.

Last week I fell in love with Jo Malone (in a platonic way!). I’ve known about the luxury colognes for some time now, but never stopped to smell the scents. I tend to find a fragrance and stick with it (I’ve worn Hane Mori for over a year now), but recently decided I need to venture out and try something new.

I wanted something totally different from what I’ve been wearing, but not too far away from my love of fruity, floral notes. I was instantly captivated by Jo’s fragrances. The notes are so different from anything I’ve worn. Their fresh, yet soft…crisp, yet subtle- just delightful! My nose led me first to Honeysuckle & Jasmine and it was love at first sniff. Jo could not have said it better about the fragrance, “inspired by the scent of a country garden after a spring rain, Honeysuckle & Jasmine is a soft, inviting scent. Fragrant honeysuckle spiked with sandalwood rests on a layer of sweet jasmine, evoking a sense of tranquility.” This is just one of Jo’s many scents that spans spicy to woody, and everything in between.

If you’re looking for something new, I suggest you try Jo Malone. Drop me a comment of your current favorite fragrance and I will help match you to a Jo Malone scent that you might like. The scents are on the pricey side, but if you shop by Friday, you can save 15%, enter code SEP883 at checkout!

Are you a victim of oily or acne prone skin? Well I am! I get minor breakouts here and there and when I use foundation, my skin tends to get oily and shiny. My skin is also very sensitive.

Lately with the hot weather and with working out, my skin has gotten worse. After seeing that my skincare regimen wasn’t enough, I knew I needed to use something that targeted my acne. I heard good things about Murad’s Acne Spot Treatment- that it cleared active breakouts and healed on contact, that it was very gentle and that it was clinically proven in over 90% of users to reduce blemishes in just four weeks. So I decided to test it out for myself.  Last night, I stuck to my skin regimen of cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Afterwards, I applied a thin layer of the application on blemishes and acne and left it on overnight.

With the new season comes a new fragrance! I’ve got the inside scoop on the latest fragrances you have to try this summer!

My new favorite is Flora by Gucci for Women. The perfume evokes a young, natural, spontaneous, elegant, classic and refined woman who posseses the ‘Gucci edge’ of power & sensuality. With notes of citrus, peony, rose and sandalwood it is light, clean, fresh and pretty.
