Helping mamas feel confident and beautiful in their skin with simple makeup and skincare.
In my latest YouTube Video I'm sharing all about the bags I keep packed up for summer adventures. We've got this Mamas!

Why does my makeup look so skin-like?!
That’s hands down the number one question I get. And here’s the truth…. As our skin ages it needs more hydration. Switching to a makeup line that hydrates and nourishes my skin allows it to sink in beautifully. No cakiness, no drying ingredients.
If you’re loving your current products, I love that for you! But if you’re feeling like your skin sucks and makeup just doesn’t work on you, let’s chat. A few product switches is sometimes all it takes to reveal the glowing skin you’re dreaming of.
Have more questions? My DM’s are always open. Ready to experience the magic yourself? Comment COMPACT and I’ll get you started. 😌
Got out of town with the kids today and it was spectacular. 🤩
I don’t know where the time went or how these kids got so big but I sure do love the special night I spent with them. 🥰
If you would have told the girl on the left that she would love her skin more in her 30’s then in her 20’s and people would stop her to comment on her skin and makeup she would have NEVER believed you.
As a makeup girlie from a young age I have always enjoyed doing my makeup every day. But as our family grew it got harder to prioritize getting ready for the day. Enter SEINT cream makeup.
Not only am I able to get ready in a flash but look how much younger my skin looks. It’s the BEST!
If you’re struggling with your skin and makeup my DM’s are always open to chat. 🫶🏼

Are you forgetting about your brows?
Hey, super moms! We get it – time is precious, but so is your confidence. Filling in your eyebrows doesn't have to be a chore; it's a quick beauty secret that can transform your look.
Here's a basic technique:
1️⃣ Start with a brow pencil or powder that matches your natural brow color.
2️⃣ Use short, light strokes to mimic hair and fill in any sparse areas.
3️⃣ Follow your brow's natural shape, extending slightly if needed.
4️⃣ Finish with a clear brow gel to set everything in place.
The result? Framed, polished brows that enhance your face and make you feel unstoppable. 🙌💃

Here I am in my 30’s wearing less makeup than I ever have and finally feeling confident in my skin.
What changed?
I started drinking water. A lot of it.
I started getting enough sleep. I went from 4-5 hours a night to 7-8.
I switched to cream makeup with simple ingredients that don’t irritate my skin.
I stopped using makeup wipes to “wash” my face at night and got consistent with skincare.
If your in a season where you’re not loving the skin you’re in, let’s change that! 🫶🏼
The strange thing about packing a diaper bag or mom bag is, you reach a sweet spot right before potty training where you can downsize. You can keep the changes of clothes in the car and skate by with a diaper, wipes and a snack or two.
Enter potty training and summer vacation and all of a sudden you’re packing for multiple kids and accidents again. As with anything in life, it’s always variable.
Needless to say this bag from has been a go to this summer. From its sporty vibe and chunky zippers to the most comfortable backpack straps on the planet, it is a winner for the mama who needs alllll the things. And if you’re a lighter packer than I am they make it in two other sizes!
If you follow me on YouTube, I’ll have a full packing video of everything I packed for my 3 kids this summer for on my channel this week!
Meet Devereaux 💕
When Curran asked me to marry him I said, “It depends will you let me get a puppy?” 🤭
Just about 12 years later when talking about our anniversary I said I want a puppy. 🐶
All our animals are getting older and so are my kids. I want them to remember their childhood and getting to pick a puppy and then see them take ownership of it and care for it.
No regrets. We love you Devereaux and can’t want to add you to life’s adventures.
I might be in the same clothes as yesterday but it feels good to have a fresh face of makeup. Happy friends!

My WHY. Sometimes you pull out the real camera and capture a photo like this that needs a permanent spot on the feed. 🫶🏼
I hate this bike. This bike has stared at me for 2 years telling me this journey would be hard. And I avoided it.
I’ve never been good at exercise. I couldn’t run as far as the other kids…. I couldn’t reach my toes or get to the top of the rope in gym.
Fast forward my body has done so much for me. It’s given me 3 babies. It’s nourished them and supported them. And through all my body has given me I felt defeated by it. Why didn’t I bounce back? Why is it harder for me?
It’s still hard. I don’t look forward to it. But I’m doing it. With the help of I’m slowly building healthy habits and for the first time I’m seeing my body work for me.
I’m getting stronger. I’m sleeping better. I’m feeling happier. So even though it’s hard, I’m gonna keep going.
2 years I let this bike sit here taunting me. And time didn’t wait for me, the time still passed.

My mind is a wild place 😅
She’s small but she is MIGHTY. A few weeks ago I had you vote on which bag to take to the beach this was the clear winner. And boy does she check all the boxes for me.
This bucket bag from @onequince is so functional with the multiple compartments AND two ways to carry. 👏🏼
Ok but isn’t Noodle the perfect name for her?! 🥹
Which would you pick? For reference I have THREE kiddos and a husband.
☑️ Buttery leather ☑️ Smooth zipper ☑️ Convertible carry ☑️ Comfortable A bag that checks all the boxes. #whatsinmybag #packingvideo #asmr
I’ve entered a new era in my life where there are days I don’t need to pack a single item for my kids and I don’t know how I feel about it. 😅 #whatsinmybag #scrunchymom #mombag
Just a few short years ago I HATED my skin. I covered it up in makeup and wished it was different. I wished I could run an errand without feeling like I needed a full face. Here’s the thing. That girl had no idea how to take care of her skin. I was using products that were stripping my skin of its natural glow instead of focusing on nourishing and hydrating my skin. Comment HYDRATE and I’ll send you the link to the skincare product that changed everything. #skincareformatureskin #mama #scrunchymom #glowingskin
