Did you guys see my hot sauce sale on stories? Mig

Did you guys see my hot sauce sale on stories? Might have been my favorite one yet! In all seriousness, this sale insanity is kinda driving me crazy. I feel this pressure to rush and buy but the reality is, if this year has shown us anything, it’s that all the “things” don’t matter. BUT I love finding a deal- always have and always will. So I’ll continue to share the deals i find with you guys here.
⠀
Today I wanted to share a few things I snagged from @aerie 40% OFFLINE collection (and the cutest PJ / loungewear sets). Shop the sets I purchased @liektoknow.It http://liketk.it/324Le
⠀
But more than the sales, I hope you all are able to disconnect this Thanksgiving. Spend time with the people you love, and celebrate all of the good around you!

SO MANY SALES! Sharing a few items on stories toda

SO MANY SALES! Sharing a few items on stories today but @ctilburymakeup is having a 30% off Black Friday sale! Wanted to share with you guys all of my favorites from the sale. These are perfect for gifts and I’m going to include a few in my gift guide but you can get them for SO much less now! I love Charlotte Tilbury- the quality is unparalleled. From the pigments to the long lasting yet moisturized glow from the foundation. These products are some of the best AND you can customize your colors! Here are a few of my favorites all linked @liketoknow.it http://liketk.it/31Yvn
⠀
💋 Bigger, Brighter, Eye Tricks Kit (travel palette, liner, and cream shadow)
💋 Build Your Own Matte Lipstick Kit (their lipsticks are everything, pillow talk is the cult fave but I also love PT Medium andLove Liberty)
💋 Blush + Glow Complexion Kit (love the Youth Glow and blush)
💋 Genius Flawless Complexion Kit (so excited to try this concealer)
💋 Charlotte’s Mesmerising Glow Kit (highlighter is the best, eye palette is one of my faves)
💋 Flawless, Poreless Skin Secrets (this is my go to powder for touch ups)
💋 Bronzed, Blushing Beauty Kit (perfect duo)
⠀
RUN and shop this sale while it lasts!

HEART SO FULL from these Instant besties and getting to see my bestie @maribeaudrault (and @wdpalladino17!) for the first time in months! ♥️🐶 These babies had the best afternoon running in the back yard and playing for the first time.
⠀
Relaxing days like this make me ready to face the week ahead. Hope y’all had the best Sunday!

Let’s talk lighting! 💡 We found some amazing recessed lights from Halo @homedepot. They’re selectable meaning you can change that wattage (we like the 4K bright white). The lights make SUCH a difference and you just hire an electrician to pop them in. We also got pop up sockets for our kitchen islands so you can’t see them! Linking both sockets and lights here. http://liketk.it/31Ib5
⠀
Now I’m onto fixtures! You guys sent me some great suggestions and I’m including them with my list below! ALSO I was chatting with one of my HS besties and he’s helping to make sure all of our fixtures are going to work- it’s funny how deceiving your eyes can be (like I bought three 13x15” for the island and they looked HUGE). So ask any questions or DM me and I’ll share!
⠀
Here’s what I’m shopping for- kitchen island lighting, massive chandelier for living room, lighting for bedrooms, master bath slim sconces, kids bath vanity lighting. I am thinking no fans (though for some people they are practical in FL) and can’t wait to share what we find! Any suggestions please let me know!

SALE ALERT @peterthomasrothofficial ! Do you ever

SALE ALERT @peterthomasrothofficial ! Do you ever get the feeling where you just need a skin pick me up? Thats why I love masking- plain and simple. I can pop on a mask for 10-30 mins and my skin feels night and day afterward. BUT, I kinda can’t stand using the same mask all the time. IDK I just feel like I need it to do different things- exfoliate and brighten sometimes, hydrate others, etc.
⠀
So, when I saw this deal @qvc I jumped on it. Two of my favorite masks and a third I can’t wait to try. Literally $79 for THREE full sized masks (retail $200 if purchased separately). Here’s why I love them. And run, bc this is not going to last!
⠀
💛 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift & Firm: gel mask to soothe and hydrate skin with botanical extracts of cucumber, papaya, chamomile, and more
💚 Cucumber Gel Mask Extreme De-Tox Hydrator: luxurious treatment mask with 24K gold that lifts and firms leaving you with an insane glow
🧡 Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer: a three-in-one skin resurfacer that exfoliates, peels, and visibly polishes skin for a brighter complexion

It’s national #botoxcosmeticday and @alle (forme

It’s national #botoxcosmeticday and @alle (formerly their Brilliant Distinctions reward program) is offering special certificates for Botox! $50 for a $100 gift card). The major goal of Botox is to prevent “static wrinkles”, these are wrinkles that form due to expressions, but are there even when you’re not moving your face. Notice I said prevent, which is why this preventative magic is so incredible. It works to make sure those static wrinkles don’t show up (not as great at treating them once they are there). 💉
⠀
I am SUPER picky about who I will have do Botox, or really anything on my face (eyebrows, facials, etc). and I have vetted a heavy list of players in the space. And always, I end up going back to a plastic surgeon, @shaferclinic for my NYC crew- for more reasons than one. First, you want someone board certified. Second, you want someone who is the *MOST* knowledgeable in the underlying anatomy of the face and body. That is what a Plastic Surgeon brings to the table and in my experience, these are the true master injectors (and the ones who actually train in Botox and filler.
⠀
Another reason why I love Dr. Shafer is he has created a truly state of the art clinic, that combines cosmetic surgery, injections and other minimally invasive treatments, AND non-invasive treatments like lasers. He can combine all of these things to maximize results and minimize any risk (most important in my book).
⠀
Going to do a full post on Botox and my treatments with Dr. S so would love to hear any questions you have!
