Ep.23 The Ultimate Guide to Hyaluronic Acid: How to Use It the Right Way, and Do You Really Need It?
In this episode of the 'Beauty Advice Made Simple' podcast, I delve into the world of hyaluronic acid, a popular skincare ingredient prevalent in products ranging from cleansers to serums and lotions. I’ll explain what hyaluronic acid is, its benefits for maintaining moisture and promoting a healthy skin barrier, and how our body's natural production decreases with age.  I will also provide essential tips on using hyaluronic acid correctly to avoid common mistakes, particularly the importance of sealing it with a moisturizer to prevent transepidermal water loss.  (TEWL.) I also challenge the notion of hyaluronic acid being a skincare necessity! I think of it instead as a  'nice to have' rather than a ‘need’ to have, and I will suggest alternatives for hydrating the skin.  If you are looking for clear, straightforward advice on understanding the role of Hyaluronic Acid in skincare products, and if it can work for you, then this is the episode for you!    My Amazon Store Link with my fave Hyaluronic Acid Serums- (note- I make a VERY small commission if you buy through my Affiliate Link) https://amzn.to/3RcG8JK   Episode TIME STAMPS  00:00 Welcome  00:13 Deep Dive into Hyaluronic Acid: What You Need to Know 07:52 How to Use Hyaluronic Acid in Your Skincare Routine Properly 14:55 Is Hyaluronic Acid Really Necessary?

We all know too much sugar causes weight gain, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes, BUT let's talk about how sugar affects the skin by causing -inflammation -collagen and elastin break down  and contributes to conditions like acne. I will also offer you guidance on breaking the unhealthy soda habit by introducing a healthy 'moonshine' drink recipe developed by the website "Trim Healthy Mama", which is a great healthy alternative to sugary sodas and chemical diet sodas. This drink, containing carbonated water, apple cider vinegar, ginger, and natural sweeteners, is a healthy choice and beneficial for blood sugar levels and overall vitality. I also provide practical tips for reducing sugar intake to improve skin health and overall well-being.

Ep. 21 SAVE TIME in Your Nighttime Routine with Micellar Water and My Favorite Brands
In this episode of the Beauty Advice Made Simple podcast, I discuss the advantages of using micellar water as an alternative to makeup wipes. I’ll remind you WHY  makeup wipes can be harmful to the skin (due to their rough texture, excessive exfoliation potential, and unwanted preservatives) and why Micellar Water is a MUCH better alternative in every way!   I’ll explain how micellar water is an effective option for removing makeup, SPF, and dirt from the skin without irritating it. I’ll tell you exactly what it is, about its origins in France, and how it can be incorporated into a skincare routine as a first step before a regular facial wash. I love micellar water for its simplicity and convenience and how it can make any skincare routine easier and more efficient.    I’ll also tell you that while micellar water is great, it’s not a “one-and-done” cleansing solution and why it’s still important to choose a quality, dedicated facial cleanser. I’ll also tell you about my two favorite brands, for those interested in trying a superior formula micellar water out of the gate.

IF YOU USE MAKEUP REMOVING WIPES EVERYDAY (OR A LOT!) THEN THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU SISTER!    Are you a Makeup Wipe Lover? If you said yes, it’s probably because you love them for their easy convenience. But - are they good for your skin?

In this episode I talk about all the reasons why makeup wipes are literally the worst way to take off your makeup, SPF, and the general grime from the day. And in case you were wondering, YES,  makeup wipes do have their place, but only when you have NO access to a sink or you have no other choice!  They are NOT ideal on a daily basis, but, If you are in a situation where a makeup wipe is the only thing you have to cleanse your face, I break down HOW  to use them with the least amount of irritation possible (and what to do after you use them!)

Ep. 18 Three BIG Skincare Mistakes to Stop Making - Right NOW!
What if you were making mistakes in your skincare routine that were aging and irritating your skin, but you weren’t even aware that you were making them? Or worse, what if you KNEW you were making these mistakes, but didn’t really see the VALUE in stopping them ( or you think…Hmmm NO BIGGIE?) Trust me you do NOT want to be making these mistakes in your skin care routine. Stop doing them TODAY and your skin will thank you - NOW and for the rest of your life!   In this episode I break down three of the biggest skin care mistakes I see women making - whether or not they realize that they are doing them! I tell you WHY it’s so important NOT to make them,and how to make it super easy that you don’t continue to do them!   From not washing your face in the evening to feeling the “impulse” to buy and try every new skincare product that comes out, (and believe me you will never be able to keep up with it all!) I will set you straight as to what you need to do to take care of and protect your skin.   These are what I see as careless errors that may “seem” like not so important things but OVER TIME, can really wreck all kinds of havoc for our skin!   I will be revealing more mistakes in future episodes, so enjoy listening to these, and for NOW -  let’s get our skin routines in order, ok?

Ep.17 Let’s Face It Lent can be Rough(How to Start to Feel Better About It)
Feb 22 2024
Ep.17 Let’s Face It Lent can be Rough(How to Start to Feel Better About It)
It happens to all of us - It seems like Lent has a particular way of “sneaking” up on us every single year. No sooner are we finally able to catch our breath from the beautiful yet hectic Season of Christmas, THEN -  Lent comes up and smacks us across the face! “I’M HERE!” It cries. UGH. Needless to say - we feel anxious (maybe even a little upset) because we just don’t feel READY. I have been in your shoes. I AM in your shoes! This year it felt like Lent came WAY too quickly for me, and I started to feel bogged down and even RESENTFUL (If I am being 100% honest!) It’s hard not to feel anxious and worried that we are not going to be able to keep our Lenten promises to ourselves and to God - whether it’s fasting, or abstaining from things like sweets, alcohol or binge watching trashy content on the internet. I mean, really Lord? Life is hard enough and I am already trying to do my best to live according to Your Word, and now I gotta give up YouTube or Netflix too?! Trust me I have been there. But what if we approached Lent Differently? In this episode, I’d like to share with you a mini transformation I underwent while reading the Book of Leviticus during my Bible in a Year Reading plan this past February.  What started as reading pages and pages of mind numbing archaic Jewish Law -started being about something different - when I started to look at it as a journey following in Jesus’ footsteps, AND His special LOVE for me! Just as our Lord spent 40 days in the desert preparing for his ministry in the New Testament, he has already prepared a Lenten model for me to follow - so I don't have to think too much about it. And JUST when I feel like I can’t hold on because I don’t feel worthy or even worthy of His Love- he revealed himself again through the OLD Testament. And what seemed like crazy detailed laws and regulations on the Israelites and their way of life - translated itself into a message for me - now - today- as someone worthy of every second of HIS  time and attention.  I wish that for you, that you KNOW He Loves you and you are worthy of every second of his time and attention. Why. Because that is the way it is! We were created in His love and to share His Love. Enjoy the episode, and I hope it helps you if you find yourself having a “moment” this Lent.

Ep.12 Your Hair is Flat and Greasy Because You Are Washing It the Wrong Way-  Re- Learn How to Shampoo Your Hair and Have Fresh Hair for Longer!

Ep.12 Your Hair is Flat and Greasy Because You Are Washing It the Wrong Way- Re- Learn How to Shampoo Your Hair and Have Fresh Hair for Longer!
If you find the you can’t go more than one or two days without feeling that you need to shampoo your hair because it’s  limp or greasy, then this episode is for you! I will explain how to ACTUALLY shampoo your hair, (and yes it’s a thing)- Why? It’s all about SAVING YOU TIME. If you don’t have proper washing technique and are not effectively removing oil and product buildup from your hair, then it will feel greasy and limp and you will have to wash more often!   This episode builds upon Ep. 11, which is about how to use dry shampoo, (if you haven’t listened to that one, stop this one and start there first) and the techniques I talk about here will complement what you learn in episode 11. You’d be surprised how many people shampoo their hair incorrectly! I will tell you-  How much shampoo to use, how NOT to lather before actually getting your shampoo blob into your roots, why you want to avoid washing your ends, and what kind of shampoo to look for (forget the drugstore!) The truth is that simple washing and lathering technique will go a long way in making sure your hair stays fresher much longer -and these techniques when followed correctly, will get you at least 2-3 days more between washes than what you are currently getting! I hope this episode helps you and frees you up a lot more time between shampoo and style days! Love,  Jennifer Links to some of my favorite shampoos- Remember - Lather up TWICE - You can probably get away with less shampoo for the second wash as 75% of all the greasy oiliness will be gone, but you need to shampoo up TWICE   These two are great if you have fine to medium hair-  L’Oréal Metal Detox https://amzn.to/48L1zJ0   L’Oréal Pro Longer https://amzn.to/3Hi7Ujx   This one says “cream: but it is great for getting out the grease without stripping your hair- If you buy it, use it ONCE as a first wash, then proceed with the other recommended shampoos   Redken Cleansing Cream Shampoo   https://amzn.to/3HjBeG9   My extensive all time fave Hair Care Products   https://amzn.to/3HEEEnj   Love the show?

Ep. 11 How to Use Dry Shampoo the RIGHT way for Fresher Cleaner Hair So You Can Save Time and Go Longer Between Washes
If you are super busy (and who ISN’T these days) you KNOW how long it can take on the days that you have wash, dry and style your hair, so it’s no wonder you want to save time by not washing your hair as often!   Enter Dry Shampoo - you’ve probably heard of it and even used it- BUT - are you using it the RIGHT way?   If you have tried dry shampoo in the past and hated it, then this episode is for you.   If you use dry shampoo incorrectly, then you WILL hate it and think it doesn’t work.   I swear by dry shampoo. As a busy mom to 10 year old twins, a full time homeschool mom and podcaster,  I would literally be lost without it. My secret? I have “cracked the code” to using dry shampoo correctly!   This is so important because when you use dry shampoo incorrectly, it can make your hair look matte and dry while STILL feeling greasy and heavy. Why not learn how to use it properly so that you can reap the benefits? Save your precious time and energy so that you can go 2, 3, 4 or even 5 days in between washes and STILL have fresh smelling,non-greasy hair!   Here you will learn THE major secret to using dry shampoo correctly, the two most popular forms of dry shampoo and which one is right for you! I also go into the safer way I use aerosol dry shampoo.   Recommended Product Links for You   Kristen Ess Dry Shampoo Original   https://amzn.to/3RMyS7p   Kristen Ess Dry Shampoo For Darker Hair tones   https://amzn.to/3THGVFm   Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo   https://amzn.to/3vtVT7D   Briogeo Dry Shampoo Powder   https://amzn.to/3vtmz8A   Amika Talc Free Dry Shampoo https://amzn.to/3HclNPT   Love the show?

Ep.9 - Why HOT Showers are Killing Your Skin - Don’t Turn Into a Wrinkled Prune This Winter - Keep the Skin on Your Body Soft and Smooth
I got an email from a listener named Kristy, who asked me - “How can I keep the skin on my body from becoming a wrinkled ‘prune” in the winter time? It always gets so dry. Help!” If this sounds like you, this episode is for you! Don’t worry - maintaining healthy and soft skin on your body during the dry winter months is easier than you think! Seriously. There are some easy fixes that take almost NO effort and don’t break the bank - you just have to basically approach your everyday showers and baths differently. Why? Because there are so many things that we tend to do as we are going about our normal shower/bath routine that sabotage our efforts for soft skin. So let’s just STOP doing them! In this episode I talk about - WHY your beloved hot showers are killing the moisture levels in your skin How to do bare bones exfoliation for your skin the easy way… (with just a washcloth if you have to) or how to buy or make your own DIY body scrub How to remember to moisturize properly and  SURPRISE- why using too much soap or body wash all over is another big NO NO…(I know, I know, it's not gross…just listen, ok?)   Here is a link to all of my favorite types of body care products that I talk about in this episode -  My Favorite Body Care Product List from my Amazon Store - https://amzn.to/4ar2VKo   DIY Body Scrub recipe -  1/2 cup brown or white sugar 1/4 cup Organic cold pressed oil (Sweet Almond and Jojoba are great) 1-2  drops of your favorite essential oil (no more!)  Mix throughly with a knife and transfer to a small plastic container that you will use in the shower after soaping up. Recipe is for one application. Discard after about 7-10 days.   Love the show?

Ep.6- Is it Vain to Wear Makeup? What does the Church Say about Makeup and Vanity? This Catholic Woman’s Opinion

Ep.6- Is it Vain to Wear Makeup? What does the Church Say about Makeup and Vanity? This Catholic Woman’s Opinion
Is it Vain to wear makeup? Or - is it just vain to wear “too much?” What about if you have neglected your looks for years and don’t wear any makeup at all?What does that say (or not) about your views on your own self worth? We all have so many ideas about beauty and makeup and grooming, and I have often pondered these types of questions, especially as I have gotten older and came back home to my Catholic faith in 2014 - after being away from the Church for 26 years. As someone who had personally, over all that time away, struggled with self esteem issues and not feeling good or “pretty” enough, I decided to do a little digging and uncover some ideas. I wanted to know - what did some of the most influential, holy, and prominent Saints in the Catholic Church have to say about makeup and the art of “dressing ourselves up?” Is it always bad, or is there a bit of wiggle room when it comes to “painting” our faces? What I found was super interesting! In this episode I talk about what I found out and how we can apply the ancient wisdom of two great Church Doctors - St. Augustine of Hippo and St. Thomas Aquinas,  to how we view and WEAR makeup today in the 21st century! Above all else, I prayed  and asked God to lead me to a conclusion that allows me (and hopefully YOU too!) to have a healthy outlook on my own self esteem and wearing makeup while following his overall plan of goodness and beauty for our lives.
