welcome to my corner of the world-wide web
I am a beauty and lifestyle blogger who gets a kick out of learning and sharing time management hacks, healthy recipes, and beauty tips!
I'm also a licensed esthetician. So by trade, I know a thing or two (or 5-10, lol!) about skincare, cosmetics, treatments, and so much more. This is one of the many ways my blog stands out! You're getting skin, beauty, and wellness tips from an actual professional, who makes it all easy for you to understand!
Throughout the blog, you'll get the latest on the current skincare and beauty trends, as well as product reviews. I'll also share my journey as a flexitarian and recipes that I think you'll enjoy as much as I do.

My Work
I am a woman who wears many hats!
Time is so precious and I am often trying to find ways and tools to maximize my time, while still living a FULL life.
I hope to cultivate a community of women who can benefit from the information I share here and in turn, have them begin to share THEIR expertise, as well. I believe we ALL have something valuable to contribute to The Jewel Collab. So let's lay it all out there and help each other get better!
