As I got into my mid 20s, I really started appreciating skincare. Now that I’m in my 30s, I notice a difference if I go even ONE day without my skincare. I feel like I have my morning and night routines down to a T, and there are products that are absolute staples. These are skincare products you’ll want to buy in bulk – unless you live in a 600 sq. ft. apartment like me. But let’s be honest, that hasn’t stopped me yet. So let’s get into it, shall we? Skincare Products You’re Going To Want In Bulk Kiehl’s…

I didn’t start taking my skincare seriously until I was like 26/27. Maybe even a little later than that. But now that I’m in my 30s, I cannot believe how much attention my skin is needing in the winter. I’ve always had some dry patches here and there, but over the last month my skin has been PAINFULLY dry. I was actually so nervous about it because it was so new to me – so I booked a dermatologist appointment. She was very much like “your skin is just super dry”. I wish there was some magic thing to help,…

WHOA. DANA TALKING ABOUT BEAUTY?! SAY WHAT? Yes. It’s true. This is a groundbreaking time here on The Champagne Edit. Yes, it’s true. I’ve decided to start talking about beauty on the blog. Although I’m not an expert by any means, I figured a lot of people can actually relate to that. A few months ago, I decided to start taking my skincare routine seriously. With the help of Linda (my beauty guru), I went out and purchased all of the necessities and just started. Now, I have a new appreciation for skincare, and love getting new products to play…

One time in high school, I chopped my hair off to my chin. NIGHTMARE. And then I did it again in college. NIGHTMARE PART II. So for the last four years, I didn’t cut my hair once. I was petrified (#dramatic) of the thought of looking the way I did in high school and college. In turn, my hair was dead, gross, and just a lot to work with. Honestly, the decision to cut my hair was very impulsive. I actually saw Carly post about her hair cut on IG Stories, and booked an appointment with the stylist she went…

A round up of the best beauty products from the TCE team – Dana and Elle (Keely sat this one out!) image via Another month, another round up. Personally, I love September so much.

Now that the weather is going to begin changing, I’m looking forward to all of the new products that will be put to the test! dana’s picks Laura Mercier Translucent Powder Seriously didn’t know I needed this in my life. I’m SO happy I did though because BYE, BYE SHINE. I love…

I’m always surprised when people tell me I have good skin. Who knew that by taking a few simple steps your skin could be great. I’ll preface this by saying two things: I really only got into skincare this year, and I can’t take credit for it. Linda forced me to start getting into a routine. I’ve never really had terrible skin. I’d get a few pimples here and there, but nothing major. Trust me, I know I’m lucky. Like I mentioned above, I started really caring about my skin this year after Linda pretty much yelled at me for…

For this month’s Beauty Edit, I wanted to talk more about something I’ve been researching (and worrying about) lately: BLUE LIGHT. A little over a year ago, I was introduced to a term called “blue light” (I believe it was Krista’s blog where I first read about it). I had been getting really awful migraines, and once I started wearing blue light lenses, it was all fixed. I was shocked at how my eyesight and motor skills were being impacted by all of the screen time. I even wrote a post about it here . I’m so reliant on my…

There’s nothing I value more in this life than sleep. I typically get home between 7:30p and 9:30p, depending on my post-work SoulCycle schedule. That doesn’t give me too much time to do a lot of things because I like to get to bed between 10 and 11. And that’s a pretty firm rule for me. There are a few things I like to do every night before I hit the sack. My bedtime routine is v. sacred to me, and I feel that I get the best sleep ever when I complete all of these steps…so I wanted to…

A round up of this month’s favorite beauty, skincare, and wellness products! HUM Nutrition A few months ago I was sent Hum Nutrition’s Vitamin C gummies ( Glow Sweet Glow ) in a press package, and I was intrigued by the brand. I started looking into their other supplements and really wanted to try them, but never purchased. Luckily, I was sent another press package with Flatter Me , Daily Cleanse , and Gut Instinct . The reviews were all amazing, so I started taking them towards the end of December. I have such an issue with being consistent with…

You guys, the digital eye strain is realer than ever. That’s why I’m so into blue light glasses. Honestly, I’m wearing blue light glasses from about 8:30AM to 10:30PM. Every Monday-Friday without fail. I believe in blue light glasses SO much. I believe it’s a real issue that not many people talk about. I wrote a post about digital eye strain a while ago (including how random episodes of vision loss and numbness in my hands led me to get diagnosed with chronic migraines), and I still don’t think people know how important it is to raise awareness for digital…
