The past several years have been pretty eventful – a move across continents, getting married, a major career change, starting a business, to name just a few.

Sephora. Who is obsessed with, believes in, and buys new products religiously at Sephora?

It’s no longer good enough to be a primer; now you have…
It began about five years ago. My husband, whose definition of skincare had been to quickly wash his face with soap in the shower (the soap he used on his body, naturally), one day suddenly asked me if I had any moisturizers he could use. After picking up my jaw off the ground, I began…
We had a blast partnering with Unistella for her New York Fashion Week debut at the Creatures of Comfort show, where the phenomenon of #glassnails was re-interpreted with a NYFW spin. Glow Recipe is also excited to exclusively introduce – for a limited time only – a NYFW edition of Unistella’s glass nails stickers in celebration of her debut at…
