Everywhere I go, people always ask me what I’m wearing. When I say it’s, for example, a $10 top from H&M, they trip out. I remember starting out in the industry. Back then, I couldn’t buy all the outfits I thought I needed to keep up with my influencer social life. I’d attend three or four events every week, and…
Over the past 11 months, I’ve been working hard to take the weight off my body. I gained 50 pounds during my pregnancy with my second child, Christian. And for the second time around, it was a lot harder to take off the baby weight. Looking back, it feels like the weight just sweated off after I had my first-born,…
When it comes to your personal style, you don’t have to break the bank to look like a million bucks. The key is mastering the art of mixing highs and lows, i.e., wearing a few high-end pieces mixed into an otherwise affordable ensemble. I won’t lie: I love me some designer clothes. But over the years, I’ve gotten really skilled…
Eyebrows are one of the most important features of your face. I remember the first time I met the queen of eyebrows, Anastasia Soare of Anastasia Beverly Hills. She told me that the eyebrows are the architect of the face. That’s why I’ve been rethinking my approach to my own brows recently. I’ve gotten a lot of messages from people…

As a mom of two children under the age of 3, my life gets pretty chaotic. So every second I to spend with my kids is extremely valuable. To make the most of my time with them, I’m always looking for ways to be more time-efficient in other areas. That includes hair maintenance and styling. I don’t have room on…

The Facebook page is one of the biggest mom forums out there, reaching a community of more than 40,000 loyal moms. I was honored to speak on the…
With the latest surge of working mothers — I call us “mompreneurs” — older generations keep asking us what’s going on. My own grandfather, who’s in his 80s, asked me recently, “Why are you working? You just had your second baby, and your husband works. Let him take care of the bills.” I’m happily married millennial mom, and my partner…
Last week, I announced on social media that I was off to New York to film my first movie, “Apalachin.” It’s an indie feature directed by Danny A. Abeckaser from a script penned by Abeckaser and Jon Carlo. It tells the true story of New York state trooper Ed Croswell (David Arquette), who, in November 1957, foiled the infamous Apalachin…
I was at New York Fashion Week last week, so I want to tell you guys all about the trends in my closet that I’m living for right now. PLAID Every time I wear plaid, I feel like Cher from “Clueless.” Especially the yellow dress that I wore recently here. For fall, I’m wearing a long-sleeved, sheer top and a…
