Hi, I’m Lauren!
I’ve loved beauty for as long as I can remember. So much that I became a licensed cosmetologist when I was young. Since then, I’ve spent my career around beauty from just about every angle: I worked in a dermatology office, where I learned how much healthy skin starts with gentle, consistent care, and I worked for Lancôme in prestige retail, helping women find products that truly worked for them.
I’ve modeled for lifestyle shoots and learned so much from pro makeup artists in the chair.
Along the way, I learned that the best routines aren’t complicated. They’re simple, kind to your skin and hair, and easy enough to do on a busy morning. That’s what this space is all about.
Here you’ll find my favorite tips for hair, skin, and eyes: the leave-ins that keep my hair soft, the lash routine I swear by, the concealer trick I picked up behind the counter, and the gentle skincare I come back to again and again. You’ll also find a little cozy living, because feeling good is about so much more than what’s in your makeup bag.
One part of my story that’s close to my heart: a while back, I noticed my hair just didn’t feel like mine anymore plus I was under a lot of stress in an abusive relationship. After getting labs done, I learned my vitamin D was low. With my doctor’s guidance, I now take D3 daily, and it reminded me how connected the way we feel is to the way we look. I’m not a doctor, but I’m a big believer in regular checkups and asking questions. Sometimes the answer isn’t another product.
I also wrote Fresh & Pretty, a Kindle ebook full of the simple habits and tips I’ve gathered over the years. If you like what you find here, I think you’ll love it.
I’m so glad you’re here. Grab my free Fresh & Pretty Starter Guide, come say hi on Pinterest (@laurengabrielle_), and let’s make getting ready the easiest, prettiest part of your day.
xo, Lauren
