Hello my loves! A few days ago I asked you over on my Instagram to send me any questions you had relating to beauty, lifestyle, health and anything in between. I received over 600 questions – thank you guys so much! I filmed a video answering a few of them, which you can watch here, and as there were so many interesting ones, I am answering a few extra questions below in this post! How do you whiten your teeth and keep them so white? I occasionally use the Crest 3D Whitestrips. They’re not the best for your teeth so I don’t do it too often, but man do they work! 🙂 I’m also not a huge red wine drinker or coffee drinker, which I think helps a lot for maintenance as well! Pro tip, when I do drink coffee I sip it through a straw to avoid staining my teeth! Was there a pivotal moment that “switched” you over to healthy eating and living, or did you come to it naturally? After I lost a lot of weight as a teenager (click here to watch my video about it) it made me a lot more mindful of the food I was putting in my body (I definitely did not want to go back to my unhealthy ways!). With that said, as a teenager and young adult I didn’t know as much as I do now about healthy eating and a balanced lifestyle so I definitely indulged a lot more. […]

As 2018 was coming to an end, I created this simple planner to help me keep track of the healthy habits and goals I wanted to focus on for the new year.

As summer comes to an end, another beautiful season approaches, FALL! I love long summer days and endless sunshine, but there’s something so magical about this new season, seeing the colors of the leaves change and gently shed to the ground, temperatures drop and we all get a bit cozier and cuddlier and the return of hot teas keeping our hands and hearts warm as we go about our days. To welcome this new season, I am showing you a beautiful makeup look perfect for this time of year, with a luxurious twist. This classic look featuring nude lips and a soft golden glittery eye flatters every skin tone and face shape. The touch of glitter on the center of the lid and deeper smoked out lower lash line create mystery and perfectly compliments the fall season. Wear this makeup look with warm nude cozy knits, a pair of denim jeans, a beige scarf and brown boots.   Step 1: SKIN  – I love prepping my skin before makeup by exfoliating and applying a good moisturizer – it makes a world of difference to how smooth and evenly the makeup goes on! – Apply a light layer of foundation to even out your skin tone. I used the Yves Saint Laurent All Hours Full Coverage Matte Foundation which instantly blurs fine lines and pores, and has beautiful long wear coverage without feeling too heavy or cakey. It is flawless skin in a bottle! – I then conceal and brighten any […]

Hello my loves! Last week I sat down to film a Q&A video answering lots of questions you had sent in under this photo on my Instagram. I received over 600 questions ranging from all different topics on health to money management, love advice, breakups, fashion tips, birth control, how I’ve lived in different countries, positivity, and everything in between 🙂 Thank you to everyone who sent in their questions! You guys are all amazing and I am humbled every time by your curiosity and willingness to hear my opinions and thoughts on things. I answered a lot in the video, which you can watch here, and also covered some more frequently asked questions like where I am from, where I currently live and our wedding plans. Since there were so many other great questions, I wanted to sit down today and answer some more, including the top ones that got a lot of likes / thumbs ups. I hope you will get to know me a bit better through these types of videos and posts and if there are any other questions you have leave them below in the comments! How do you manage your finance and what is your advice for young girls aspiring to become their own #girlboss?  
I grew up with very independent and strong women around me. My mother and grandmother instilled in me at a very young age that I must earn my own money when I grow up and be smart with it. […]

I love my neutrals on a day to day basis, but there’s something so classic and timeless about a winged liner and a bold red lip! This type of makeup can instantly dress up any look and works beautifully for both day and night. Plus it’s actually quite simple and straightforward to create – effortless and classic! Follow my tips below to achieve this look!   Step 1: THE PERFECT BASE Fun fact, I am obsessed with base products! Primers, foundations, concealers, powders are some of my favorite categories when it comes to makeup. I love finding products that perfect the skin, smooth texture, but still look natural and life-like on the skin. – Make sure your skin is exfoliated and moisturized before applying any makeup. – Apply a primer to prep for your foundation. I used the Guerlain L’Or Radiance Primer, which is a radiant primer containing pure gold complexion-perfecting flecks! It smooths fine lines and provides an even finish for makeup application. – I also like to prime my lips so they’re nice and moisturized by the time I get to lipstick. I used the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviver Balm in Pink Glow. It’s a moisturizing balm that brings out the natural color of your own lips – so pretty! – Apply a light layer of foundation to even out and perfect the skintone. I used the Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation, a red carpet classic as it works great with flash photography. It’s a lightweight, medium […]

A few days ago I sat down to film a spontaneous Q&A video where I asked you to send me your questions via Snapchat and Instagram. I got lots of questions on the topic of self-love and feeling confident in your own skin – it seems like a lot of you are feeling overwhelmed (I hear you girls!) so I thought I’d sit down today and write a dedicated post on this topic. I CHOOSE LOVE “I am in charge of how I feel today, and I choose happiness.” I think it’s important to start by saying that loving yourself and feeling confident in your own skin is an active process and ultimately a choice that you make every day – it’s something we must actively pursue. From my own experience over the years, self-love and confidence is not something that you work on obtaining for some time, and BAM once you feel like you’ve got it, it magically stays part of your DNA forever. It’s kind of like wishing to tone up your body and get super healthy – you decide to ditch the junk food and start nourishing yourself with lots of healthy food and exercise. A couple of months go by and you start to notice lots of positive changes in your body, you’re super happy, have more energy and start feeling really confident and sexy in your new figure – amazing! Then all of a sudden you might get a bit ‘too comfortable’ and stop putting in […]
