This morning I had the opportunity to sit down for a one-on-one interview with the lovely Tata Harper at the Nordstrom Galleria spa to learn all about her skincare product line, which prides itself on its organic and natural ingredients.
Tata was born and raised in Columbia, where beauty was a way of life. Tata had a similar experience as us with our father, where she discovered the importance of skincare products when her stepfather was diagnosed with cancer. As she began to research the ingredients in these beauty products she had grown up using, she discovered many of these ingredients in fact were causes of cancer. This discovery, combined with her engineering background, was what inspired Tata to research and develop her own line of healthy and all-natural anti-aging skincare products.

What I loved most about Tata’s skincare line is the hands on approach she has in the development of its products. Tata develops all of the products on her farm in Vermont, and combines natural ingredients from all over the world to produce an anti-aging product like none other. As we sat and talked, I tested out each of her products and have to say, my skin has never felt more silky smooth! Not only is my skin glowing, but the delicious scent of fresh flowers is still lingering throughout the day.
For anyone who loves a fresh facial, I highly recommend stopping by Nordstrom for one of Tata Harper’s facial treatments. My new favorite, which will be launching soon, is the Red Carpet Facial. This treatment combines four different masks to give you that event-ready look in just 90 minutes!
Though I am still in my 20s, I have come to appreciate the importance of preventative skincare. Starting an anti-aging routine at a young age is the smartest thing any woman can do, and I am so excited to try out all of new products I received today! Serums are definitely one of my newest favorite products, and I love the variations available from her line. Be sure to check out all of her products available online to give you skin a healthy and natural glow!

I can’t wait to try all of my new products! (c/o)

For 20-something years, I’ve been the “oldest sister” of the family, so I think it makes sense that I’m trying to be proactive with my skincare routine to avoid those wrinkles we all dread! As you know, we trust our dermatologist and our sunscreen with our lives, so it’s safe to say we take skincare very seriously in this family.
Since finding the right products is imperative for your skincare regimen, I wanted to share mine with you all. First, everyone needs a Tassi! I gave all the girls in my family a Tassi for Christmas- I swear it makes washing your face more enjoyable and great to use when applying self-tanner.
I’ve been using the Bliss face wash ever since I got a sample while staying at a W Hotel years ago. It’s reliable, smells nice, and takes all my makeup off easily. I apply a small amount to my Clarisonic daily, and my skin instantly feels refreshed and exfoliated! Couple that with what I believe to be the best face mask in existence, and your face will be clean and refreshed beyond belief.
Now onto the serums- over the past year I kept hearing all about serums, so I was thrilled to find a day (c/o) and a night (c/o) serum in my Lucky FABB swag bag. They feel amazing and my skin stays so moisturized throughout the day.
The AM/PM moisturizing cream is the perfect cream to put over the serum. It is perfectly light on my skin and also has SPF, which is extremely important in a beauty routine.
Lastly, you cannot forget the eyes! I have been using Clarins eye cream for several years, and it remains my favorite eye cream I’ve tried.
Though my skincare routine may seem like a lot of steps, the whole process is very quick and my skin will thank me later. What products do you love to keep your skin healthy and moisturized?

As I’ve entered my 20s, I have become aware of how important a solid skincare regimen is. Not only am I trying to prevent blemishes, but I am becoming more and more focused on adapting a proactive routine to fight against aging. So many products on the market today claim to be “anti-aging” skincare products, but in all actuality, do these products really work? I have been researching a lot of different lines and I have discovered what I believe to be the best product on the market right now. Discover L’Occitane’s “Divine Skincare”
L’Occitane’s “Divine Skincare” is a new and advanced formula that helps fight aging more than ever before. The secret is the Immortelle flowers – the flower that never fades. The oil derived from these Immortelle flowers is abstracted to give the skin a youthful, radiant glow to make the skin appear visibly younger. This patent-pending formula has become an instant favorite of mine. I have been using these products every morning and evening, and not only does my skin feel silky-smooth and fabulous, but the floral smell of the products is absolutely intoxicating!
The process is simple: after washing your face in the morning and evening (preferably with your Clarisonic Brush), you start the 3-step process. First you apply the Divine Lotion which moisturizes the skin leaving it silky smooth with the smell of delicious Immortelle flowers. Next you apply the Divine Extract, which is a gel-like formula that sinks in immediately to boost the effects of the Divine Cream (step 3). Finally, you apply the Divine Cream, which is a patent-pending cream which helps to fight visible signs of aging and restores skin’s lost substance, giving your skin the youthful glow you desire! If you are looking to add a final boost of anti-aging, check out their Divine Eyes formula for a wonderful anti-aging eye cream.

If you don’t already know, I take skincare very seriously and I am very confident in my skincare I’m currently using. I’m one of those people, who can be convinced to buy every product under the sun when I walk through the mall, get a facial, go to the dermatologist, read a magazine, etc.
After filling my cabinets with all sorts of creams and lotions, I’ve finally determined OBAGI is the best line around! Not only do you actually see results, the products go on extremely smoothly without much scent. My favorite product which I will never be able to live without is their sunscreen/moisturizer-Healthy Skin Protection SPF 35. I wear this daily and it has enough moisture to keep my face from drying out, but it is also light and sinks into my skin quickly. Your skin will glow, I absolutely believe it!
OBAGI is only offered through a physicans office, so go see your doctor (get a skin check while you are there) and start a regimine with OBAGI! You won’t be disappointed.
