KG’s Fave Lipsticks ATM
Hi, my name is Katherine and I am addicted to lipstick. Nice to meet you. I know most women have their one or two lipsticks that they swear by and wear on repeat, but this woman is a little excessive (as you all know). Compiling this list was tough, how do people just choose one or two? I love me a good lipstick, lip gloss, lip balm, etc… So much so that often times my handbag is filled with them and people think I am completely insane. However insane it may be think of me as your human guinea pig – because my desire to try all things beauty becomes your guide to finding hidden treasures you may never have known about.
KG’s Favourite Cleansers
Although it may seem obvious to most it’s important that I reiterate the importance of cleansing your skin. In my opinion it is the most important step in any skincare routine and should be done morning and night. It’s the first step and therefore if you skip it, or don’t actually cleanse properly you are setting off the next steps. If your skin isn’t properly cleansed, your serums will not penetrate as deeply or effectively. In the morning I cleanse with a wash off cleanser and at night I oil or balm cleanse first, and then wash with my regular wash off cleanser. There are different cleansers for different skin types and skin concerns, most of which I have dealt with, so I have made a list of my must haves below.
What’s In My Bag!
What type of vlogger would I be if I didn’t do the standard, what’s in my bag video? This is my first time attempting something like this and it was actually so fun! Check out my video/s below, don’t skip over the bloopers, they are worth the watch! Below is a list of items you may have spotted in my bag, feel free to shop these too.
Why KG Loves Keratin Treatment
If you knew me before virtually meeting me on Instagram, you know that my curls were REAL. I know it may be hard to believe, but once I had curls that could not be tamed without hours of work, no matter how hard I tried…until I discovered keratin treatments. I never thought I would be able to go in an ocean or pool or even take a shower and still be able to have manageable (straight- ish) hair without needing to get a blow dry done in a salon. It now takes me about a quarter of the time that it used to, to style my hair and I cannot thank the hairGods enough.
KG’s Must Have Sports Bras
I truly do not remember what life was like before I started wearing sports bras. As you guys know I film in them every morning, workout in them and even wear them throughout the day. The NUMBER ONE QUESTION or topic you guys ask me via Instagram is ALWAYS about my sports bras, so I knew I had to list my essentials below. Keep in mind, I have my boobs done so I don’t need as much support as someone who is all natural. Shop along with me!
Baked Fries
I think we can all agree that fries just seem to go with everything. With the winter coming up, I love to cook hot side dishes and these fries are a crowd pleaser. I make mine with sweet potatoes or russet potatoes depending on what I’m in the mood for. The below recipe serves 2 and works for either type of potato.
Strawberry Chia Seed Jam
Kris loves a good jam spread and it’s not always easy to find packaged jams without tons of added sugars and preservatives. When I do find better options to purchase, the taste and texture is generally not the best, so I decided to make my own! The magic ingredient here are CHIA SEEDS. Chia seeds thicken the jam, perfectly giving the jam that “jam” texture. I sweetened mine, but you can also not sweeten yours at all since the fruits generally are pretty sweet on their own… Especially strawberries.
KG’s Steps of Skincare
Newsflash: I am a self-proclaimed skincare junkie. Anyone who knows me in real life or follows me can vouch, I am one with my skin. How can I preach the importance of skincare, without teaching the basics, which is why I am going to break down my top 6 steps. Knowing the proper steps and order of the process to use your products, is almost more important than the products themselves. We spend so much of our hard earned money of these fancy, skin changing products but if we aren’t using them properly then what’s the point?! ???????? An easy way to think of the correct order is by going from lightest weight to heaviest. I can’t think of a better way to kick off this beauty section, can you?
