Only got hair on my head, legs and ok — maybe a few other places haha! But no more unwanted hair on my lip, chin, under arms or bikini line. Goodbye wax appointments. Goodbye shaving. Let’s talk the benefits of laser hair removal girlfriends and my experience of having it done at Etoile Cosmetic Medicine Studio.

WHERE TO GO FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL

So let’s start off with where to go for laser hair removal.

5 days before Halloween and here I am posting the first official holiday post of the season. What can I say girls? They are saying to shop early this year so here we go. Expect to see gift guides coming out much earlier on HOLB this year but today let’s start off with holiday gift ideas from TULA! Tula always puts out the best holiday kits with their top selling items with huge savings. Breaking down all the kits for you and as always you can use my code HOUSEOFLEO to save an additional 15% off at TULA.

Thought it was a good time to do a little skincare chit chat. Going into a new season is a great time to access your skincare regimen and incorporate some changes. You know how it goes. Summer months are grueling on our skin from being in the sun and sweating. Then going into the cooler months we often battle dry skin. All the more reason to take a look at our current skincare products. Today I’m partnering with Walmart to tell you about the affordable anti-aging serum I’m loving and how it has made such a difference in my skin.

I get it from my mama. Actually we get it from facial aesthetics. Our mothers are often the first women to teach us about hair, makeup, skincare and fashion. As time goes by there is a shift and it’s us daughters who begin taking care of our mothers and helping them to stay young, hip and fabulous. And this is exactly what I did for my own mama. Today I’m not talking about me. I’m talking about my mom and all the benefits of facial aesthetics in your 60’s.

I always start out these posts with “love me some Tula.” And it’s true. Love me some Tula! Every single time they put out a new product I become instantly obsessed and always incorporate it into my skincare routine. And there are ALWAYS new launches. They are busy busy bees at the Tula factory. Always coming up with innovative products that you need. Sharing 6 new must have products from Tula that have come out over the past few months that I now can’t live without!

It’s nothing new around here. You all know how much I love facial enhancements and aesthetics. We’ve talked fillers around here several times over this past year but we actually never talked anti-wrinkle injections. Today I am giving you my experience with Xeomin vs Botox. I am a firm believer in if it makes you feel good about how you look then go for it. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to enhance your overall appearance.

I’m not telling you to breakup with your hairdresser. We all know that kinda breakup is as hard as the breakup with your high school sweetheart. BUT by the end of this post you may just want to “take a break” and start up your own relationship with Lambs & Wolves –– the top hair salon in Monmouth County. Today I’m bringing you on a tour of where I’ve been getting my hair done for 9 years and telling you all their story.

Goodbye dark lipsticks. Hello light and airy spring colors. Haven’t shared any beauty on HOLB lately so thought it would be a good time to do the spring beauty edit and round up some spring favs. Some are old favs. Some are new finds I’m loving. Got a little of everything to share. Foundations, lipsticks, hair and skincare.

1 | TARTE AMAZONIAN CLAY – Threw this one into the spring beauty edit because it’s back in my weekly rotation.

I don’t know about you but there have been so many times this past year that I’ve just felt rugged, drab and in need of some personal TLC. Ahem do we all recall those long months that all the salons were closed and we couldn’t cover our grays? Talk about rugged. And there have been easily more days than not that many of us opted for no makeup and stayed in our loungewear. We’ve all experienced it but enough is enough!

A very rare Saturday post from me BUT one I wanted to get out before the holidays for 2 reasons. One, I think it’s SO important to support small businesses especially during the holidays and this trying time. Small businesses especially are struggling. I know this pandemic has affected my business greatly. Two, I think some of the businesses I’m highlighting in today’s posts would make some really kick butt last minute gifts! Every small business began with one person’s (sometimes 2 persons) dream.
