The Life She Wanders

If you’ve been following me for any length of time you know my love for an at-home manicure and pedicure. It is much less expensive than going to the salon and for someone like me who likes to change their color up nearly weekly, it allows for that flexibility. Last month I shared on Instagram this new to me non-toxic nail polish that I found at Target called TenOverTen. I had been thinking of making the switch to non-toxic for some time and finally decided to bite the bullet…and I’m so glad I did!

My Recent Sephora Haul

You know my love for all things beauty and skincare runs deep so when Sephora offered an opportunity back in December to trade in Beauty Insider points for a discount in January, I immediately said YES! I opted for 15% off in exchange for 1,000 points which was the highest tier they were offering. Given that the next Beauty Insider Sale won’t be until spring, I took this as a perfect opportunity to stock up on a few essentials that I’m running low on and snag a few new products, too.

Sephora's Beauty Insider Spring Bonus Event

Never did I think I would enjoy and be so passionate about skincare and beauty as I am now. Just a few years ago my skincare regimen - or lack there of - consisted of “washing” my face in the shower. Fast-forward to today where I have a morning and night routine, wear sunscreen daily and am a big believer in clean products. So yes, I fully understand that skincare and beauty products can be a bit pricey but that’s why this time of year is like Christmas…it’s the Sephora Spring Beauty Insider Sale!

My Go-To Products from Sephora

I’m a Sephora girl through and through and have always loved all things beauty. I grew up in the competitive dance world so makeup was normal to me from a very young age…although performance makeup is much different than everyday looks! I don’t look at makeup as a means to cover things up, I look at it as tools to enhance and bring added life. I’ve also become a big proponent of clean beauty products over the past couple of years and love all of the options Sephora has.
