My Beauty Secret: 

Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize! Also, exfoliate at least 3X a week. I try to eat very healthy, organic food, take vitamins and exercise. I believe in moderation -- no extreme and depriving diets/exercise programs.

My Routine: 

For work, I try to limit my routine to 30 minutes from shower to out the door. Having a 2 year old has pushed me to be more efficient with my morning routine. For a night out on the town, I give myself an hour to get "glam".

My Horror Story: 

Hmm - where do I begin? At-home perms/color, self haircuts, "sun-in", mismatched foundation, frosted lipstick... too many beauty disasters in my lifetime.

Fav Product #1

I can't live without this product...

Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes!

This product has become my everyday staple mascara. It separates and leaves my lashes looking full and plump without clumping. Also, the packaging is absolutely fabulous!

Fav Product #2

I wouldn't die, but I would suffer greatly without this product...

Moroccan Oil

Moroccan Oil is a must have for color-treated hair. This product has a beautiful scent and leaves my hair soft and silky without weighing it down.

Fav Product #3

Without this product, I'd have to start drinking at noon ;-)

Smashbox Photofinish Primer and Urban Decay Primer Potion

Primers, primers, primers -- how did I survive before makeup primer? Smashbox Photofinish foundation primer and Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer potion are "must-haves" in my makeup routine. They give your makeup the much needed "staying power" for the entire day.
