I hope you are enjoying the holiday season! We are getting close to the finish line of 2021 and I can’t wait to take some much-needed downtime.

This year was filled with many new experiences! I spoke on a variety of podcasts and web shows, offering my lifestyle advice with easy, actionable tips. I worked quite a bit with my daughter Rachel, and she helped me raise my game in terms of the creative direction for my brand. You can see our mother-daughter series blog content HERE.
I also had the opportunity to partner with several digital rockstars, Erin Busbee of Busbee Style, Susan Feldman of In The Groove, and Janet Gunn of The Grateful Gardenia! I’m also grateful to continue to be featured regularly on the homepage of Who What Wear and have had the opportunity to partner with Rachel and my friends in some of these articles.

Another highlight this year was when Amazon Fashion reached out to me to create my own curated store that you can see and shop HERE. I also expanded The Glow Girl Deals page and hope you check it out to take advantage of these exclusive discounts, many of which are small and female-owned businesses. As an advocate for clean living, I also updated my Glow Girl Certified Lists so you can see the clean skincare and beauty products I love and use the most!
This past year has been incredibly rewarding and The Glow Girl brand continues to grow. In terms of my sponsored content, many of these relationships have been nurtured for years. It's very important to me to cultivate authentic relationships with you and with the brand partners I love so much! I’m truly passionate about researching and discovering new brands to share with you after my careful product curation.

Below are my top 10 most popular posts from 2021!
Being an editor turned influencer, I’ve had the luxury of being able to road test hundreds of lifestyle products over the years. There’s just so much info and so many products out there to review and digest—I think most women these days may not have the time or budget to thoroughly vet them. It’s my job (and I love it) to weed through all this “stuff” and to recommend the top things, to my knowledge, that help me to look and feel my best.
Janet Gunn and I have a passion for style and love the casual California vibe that seems to be so “of the moment” these days! While we are both well into our 50’s, I’m a true believer that age should not dictate what you should or shouldn’t wear. We’re sharing 9 key trends we love for 2021. These looks are very versatile and work well with a range of pieces in our closets.
I know I’m not alone when I say I love shopping on Amazon. It’s a one-stop-shop for everything you’ll ever need. That’s why I’m excited to introduce my new Glow Girl Amazon store! You will find hundreds of my favorite picks in multiple categories including fashion, beauty, wellness, home, and more.
As we age, the quality and the nature of our skin changes. Due to a loss of collagen, the wrinkles and loose skin are now our new canvas. However, there are makeup tricks that can achieve a more youthful appearance without looking like we are trying too hard.
For every day, I like to use makeup to create a natural look. To achieve a more youthful, fresh face, I only use clean brands, so you may find some new ones to try and add to your beauty arsenal.
My blogging bestie Janet Gunn and I love classic fashion but we also like to follow some of the newest trends that work for us and style them with our own twist. Since we like to stay abreast of the important fashion trends, I thought I’d share our “trading this for that” and highlighted some new pieces that freshen up our wardrobes!
While my daughter Rachel and I certainly have our own personal styles, we both gravitate towards the same trends. In an article for Who What Wear, we recently shared the trendy staples we are both loving right now. From oversized coats to chunky sweaters and lug sole boots, read on to shop the must-have staples we are both currently loving.
Fashion trends have changed quite a bit over the past year. I wish I kept some of my great pieces from Y2K and the '90s as they are reminiscent of my past and are totally back in style now! I think it’s time to give up some looks that have grown tired in my closet and make room for some new (old) styles.
I’m always testing tons of products for all things skincare, makeup, and wellness—there’s always something new to try! It’s a lot to curate, but I love to find the best brands available that are clean and effective. Once they pass my test, I share my finds with you! Read on to see my hand-picked list of all the haircare products I’m loving and using in my daily routine.
If my daughter, Rachel, and I have learned anything over the past year, it’s how to be cozy chic. Whether you’re getting dressed to stay at home or styling a comfy out-of-the-house look, the secret to building a cozy wardrobe is to choose relaxed and versatile staple pieces.
We are sharing cozy-chic fashion trends we both adore and think will work well for everyone given their versatile nature. After all, those comfy items are a must as we’re spending more time at home.
This past year, even during covid, many clean brands were able to launch some amazing new products worth noting. I love discovering the best products available and then sharing them with you! When I was growing up, my Dad told me I was a marketer’s dream because I always had to try all the “latest and greatest” beauty products. Read to see my curated list of the newest clean skincare products that stand out in their class. I truly love them and think you will too!
