Current Beauty Favorites

I’m finally getting around to sharing my current beauty favorites.  There are so many great products out there, so I’ve included some of my OG favorites and also my newer loves.  I’m breaking down every category, so keep reading! To begin, I love these monogrammed beauty train cases.  They make traveling easy peasy because so many products effortlessly fit in this bag.

My Vivace Microneedling Treatment

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to try out the Vivace Microneedling treatment at Bella Tu Med Spa in Nyack, NY.  I’ve been wanting to try out this professional grade treatment for some time.  Vivace is an in-office skin rejuvenation treatment that combines the benefits of radiofrequency energy and microneedling.  This FDA-cleared, minimally-invasive treatment stimulates the natural production of collagen and is shown to be effective in alleviating facial wrinkles, fine lines, and tightening and toning the face, neck, hands, and body.  Microneedling, combined with radio frequency, provides heat to stimulate your body’s own natural collagen production, which…
