Where to Get the Best Botox in Chicago

My Journey to Getting Botox

After turning 40, I started to consider the idea of Botox. Prior to then, I was always nervous about the idea. First, I can’t stand the thought of needles – much less near my face. But additionally, there’s still a negative stereotype associated with the procedure among some people. In fact, some women I know would rather eat a bowl of slugs than admit to anyone they’ve received Botox. Thankfully, the perception is changing, and it’s become more prevalent than ever. Today, I wanted to share my experience and the location for the best Botox Chicago.

How to Properly Clean Your Makeup Brushes

I have a daily makeup routine. So, I’m sure most of you do too! Maybe it’s primer followed by concealer followed by foundation. Then contouring, shadow, lip stick, and mascara. Finally, maybe you spritz on a little setting spray. And then, boom! You’re ready for the day.

The Best Amazon Buys So Far this Year

Top Items We're Loving Lately

Today, I’m excited to share some of our top Amazon purchases so far this year. Prior to 2020, I wasn’t a big Amazon gal (seriously). Yes, Amazon is taking over the world and making things more convenient for consumers along the way. But frankly, I didn’t rely on Prime since I was working and traveling so much. While a fabulous option, I was always on the road and never had a “I need… insert item” right now type of situation.
