The season of lights and festivities tends to bring out the glamorous side of most of us - and why shouldn't it? Ain't no shame in finding a reason to celebrate your best self. Often times, we're feeling like we want to try something new to spruce up an event, yet lack the inspiration to know what that something is. For your taste-testing pleasure, we've rounded up three makeup looks to try for your next holiday party.
This time of year, the chances are high that your body has had some sort of sugar and carb overhaul from your holiday tradition of choice. It's hard to pick just one poison - that third slice of pie? Or piece of candy? Or how about that cup of nog? It's all the same to your body, and your hormones, sleep, energy levels, and habits are likely to be all kerfuffled. Whether it's post-turkey, tofurkey, holiday ham, or roast beast, it's probably time to take things down a notch and get back to your healthy roots. Here are the best ways to detox after too much indulgence this holiday season without breaking a sweat.

As we get older, the appeal of a giant bag of trick or treat candy starts to lose its appeal (especially if you are like me and too much sugar makes your skin hate you). Instead of wearing a stinky latex monster mask, I'd rather opt for a pore refining charcoal mask. It just so happens, your favorite Sugarhouse day spa has a remedy for those who feel they are outgrowing Halloween: Trick Or Treat Yourself! Yes, friends - cozy up on this fall eve with your favorite scents and pamper yourself with some of our favorite luxury items.

Those first few moments of waking up can be so lovely...right up until you look in the mirror and realize that a monstrous breakout has made its way onto your face. Ugh. First of all, why? Second of all, how do we make this not happen again? Lucky for you, we've done some trial and error ahead of time to narrow down a few random causes of adult acne so you aren't left scratching your head.
An anthropological phenomenon of the 21st century, we really have no idea how or where this originated from, but I've found myself dawning this look frequently in the fall months because, hey, "The Basic" look is COMFY! Who doesn't love the smell of pumpkin spice on a crisp autumn morning and a big cozy sweater paired with cute boots? Every fall without fail, the iconic 'lewk' resurfaces, it's clear that the "basic" isn't going anywhere. With this notion, I exclaim: If you can't beat em' join em'. This is your basic girl's guide to all things autumn, keeping you cozy and cute during your favorite season!
By this time, I'm sure you've been hearing these three letters buzzing around your social media feed. What's the deal with hemp and CBD, anyway? What is it? What does it do? THC is illegal (in some places) and CBD is legal, so what's the difference? I am fascinated by holistic and naturally sustainable beauty alternatives, so of course I had to dive in and do some research. If you're curious about this new game-changing super oil then stay tuned, because according to what I learned, it's more than a passing beauty/health trend.
If you've rounded the thirty year mark, you might remember the toner craze of the 1990s (Sea Breeze, anyone?). Back then it was a harsh, alcohol-laden slumber party-style spa skin treatment that stung like crazy, and which subsequently faded into obscurity. Thanks to cosmetic and dermatologic advancements, facial toner has made a comeback and achieved a certain sophistication with formulaic adjustments and variances to satisfy all skin types. In light of these changes, here's why facial toner is actually good for your skin, and why you should consider adding it to your regimen.
Makeup hoarding is something I'm sure many of us, including myself, are guilty of. We buy that new bright purple lip with EVERY intention of rocking it on the daily, but in reality it ends up sitting at the bottom of our bag for years searching for it's day of reckoning when it can bless your lips with violet fierceness. So how long do you hold onto those makeup products that keep piling up in the bottom of your bag? Some of them can last for years, others could cause infections after just a couple months (gross)!
