Blownaway App

To stay on the theme of beauty this week (don’t forget to enter the amazing Tata Harper giveaway) I have decided to share my experience with Blownaway App. Whenever my family comes in town I try to always have an activity for us to do. The last time they all came I hired a face reader (who was so spot-on and amazing). I believe it is always smart to have something planned while you have guests in town. Otherwise you find yourself sitting around staring at each other or eating your way through the city. Since it was just a mother/daughter weekend I thought a “pamper” day was the perfect activity.

Knowing I wanted us to be as comfortable as possible I downloaded the Blownaway app – a full-service make-up and blowout team to your own home. I couldn’t book the appointments fast enough! We were paired with Anthony who was exceptional. From the moment he arrived I was instantly charmed. He was charismatic, professional, and very cool. I absolutely loved his “artist” tattoo. My mom and I enjoyed glasses of wine, girl chat, and a really relaxing experience. Anthony nailed it out of the park with both of our looks and made us feel really great for a nice evening out on the town. Since I usually don’t wash, nor style my hair it was such a nice treat. The entire experience from start to finish was such a breeze. For the cost and convenience alone Blownaway is one of the best tools out there! If you are in the market for a fresh new blowout and don’t want to leave the comforts of your own home (wine and robes) then this is the solution to all of your problems. I am telling you – the perfect girls weekend activity!

Tata Harper Skincare

Skin is the first thing people see when they look at you. Which makes it a bit nerve wrecking when you feel like it isn’t up to par. A few months ago I felt my skin needed a total overhaul. It was dry and uneven. Completely lifeless. Knowing I needed to make a change I have really been working on caring for it over the past few months. I have paid attention to what is in the products I use and maintained a very specific routine. And I have to say – it is paying off. I have been receiving more complements than ever about how good my skin looks. Even I can tell a MASSIVE difference! It is so absolutely rewarding to know that a few changes in my routine could make such a difference.

One of those changes was my switch to Tata Harper products. I must say – these are really responsible for a lot of the improvement. Not only are they completely natural (made on Tata’s Vermont farm) but they are really nourishing. I tend to have very dry skin so the extra bit of oils in the products have transformed my skin from lifeless to completely radiant and glowing. When my mom came to stay with me over the weekend I made her stay on my beauty routine. She called it, “Mary’s Beauty Boot Camp.” However, even she loved the products and could tell a difference. No matter the age, Tata’s products really make a difference.

I have made a little video walking you through my Tata Harper Skincare steps and the products I use below so be sure to check that out! And as always, if you have any questions at all about any of the products please feel free to e-mail me!
