I thought it was finally time to knock out this blog post! I wanted to create an FAQ “Masterlist” – a place where you can find answers to all of the common questions I receive via e-mail, DM’s, comments & more! I’m including links to all product questions & lots of links to other blog posts on my site that will give you more in-depth answers! I’ll always keep this up to date & add more as I get them! Enjoy! xo

Fashion/Beauty

Q: Where are your gold dainty necklaces from?
A: Depends on which one you’re talking about, ha! Y’all know I’m a sucker for a gold dainty necklace, and I’m constantly wearing at least one! I love to layer them. My everyday gold dainty necklaces include my mini cross necklace, my gold coin necklace from Resera (20% of the sales go to Love One, too!), and my mini initial necklace with the “n+s” on it, from Oak & Luna!

Q: What self tanner do you use?
A: Right now, I am loving all self-tanning products by Tan Luxe! They have great deals, their products are great quality & don’t leave me streaky…and I love the color it gives your skin! As far as my absolute favorites go, I love using The Face drops for self tanning my face, The Butter for a gradual everyday lotion, and Hydra Mousse for an extra-deep, more obvious tan. I love using Loving Tan’s self-tanning mitt for the mousse – it helps it go on streak free!

Q: How often do you get botox? What do you ask for when you get it?
A: I started getting Dysport (a type of Botox) when I was 27! I wanted to start it for preventable measures – which it totally has! I don’t get a ton – just a little above my brow to give me a “brow lift”, a little sprinkle along the top of my forehead to decrease movement that causes creases/lines, and a little in-between my brows to prevent those “angry lines” that I get. I go to Saving Face in Austin, TX – and they are THE BEST! Seriously, they are one of the top injectors in the US. If you mention me, you can get 10% off your services!
