One thing I love about being pregnant is being told I’m “glowing”. It’s great, because it either means: a) I look awful, people feel sorry for me and are trying to make me feel better by giving me a compliment. My husband brings me tacos on particularly rough days. b) I really am rocking it! Because I have a 2 year-old to chase around, this is rarely ever what people mean, but when it’s on, I know I look good! I hope you flaunt it when you’re feeling it too!

As an esthetician and makeup artist, I get endless questions from clients and friends about how to achieve beautiful skin. My answer always involves the topic of exfoliation — or the removal of dead, dull skin — to reveal that ethereal, perfected glow we all want.
