Sponsored by Sephora but all opinions are my own.   "What's my #1 skincare secret" you ask? Simple babes - I ALWAYS WEAR SPF. Now I love soaking up the beautiful California sun as much as the next girl, but when it comes to protecting my skin I don't mess around. The sun is the [...]

I know I’m only on day 2, but turning 45 feels pretty AMAZING! Aging is a beautiful gift. At this stage of my life, I choose to embrace the things that bring me joy, to live in the moment and stop fearing what the future holds. I’m grateful to be surrounded by family and friends […]

Last week I had the distinct pleasure and honor to be a panel speaker for Dove’s Love your Silver event. You darlings know how passionate I am about changing the narrative of white hair. As a woman who's embraced my silver hair for over 20 years I'm all too familiar with the harmful beauty ideals [...]

Sponsored by Sephora but all opinions are my own. I know what you're thinking, contouring can be intimidating. And yes, even a bit unnatural looking. But you know what, it doesn't have to be that way. You know me darlings, I love a natural makeup look and so I'm going to show you how to achieve [...]

Can I just take a minute to say how grateful I am for my TTL family?! I started TTL with the hope that I could inspire women to embrace their individuality and pursue their joy, but what I got in return was so much more. In getting to know you, I can’t help but feel […]

Winter is coming darlings! Shucks, in places like Michigan or New England winter is already here!!! LOL!! Thanksgiving can often mean snow for some of you, but is your skin ready??

Okay babes, it’s game time! The SEPHORA Holiday Savings Event is here! I literally can’t wait for this time of year — it’s the perfect time to stock up and save on all of my beauty favorites and even grab items I’ve been wanting to try. My favorite part is that it’s also right on […]

I’d say 100% of the time when I post a makeup video you babes wanna know what brush(es) I’m using. For me, just like when I’m cooking I need to have the right utensil to bring the dish together. Well it’s no different when applying makeup. No matter your skill level or how many products […]

If you’ve purchased skincare lately, chances are you’ve seen brands touting products that “fight free radicals”. It sounds great, but what does that even mean? WTF are free radicals?  What are free radicals?  To answer that question, I’m about to go a bit science nerd on you (LOL) so bare with me. Our bodies are […]

I f*cking LOVE having a cute manicure. A chipped nail or a bad paint job seriously bums me out LOL. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I remembered how much I love doing my own nails!! You see, in my flight attendant days I had to get gel manicures simply for the fact that I […]

I recently got the “Curly Girl Haircut”aka Curl by Curl Haircut, and I’m sure some are wondering, Tennille what is that? Before I explain, I want to share that I have always worn my hair natural but I didn’t always know how to get my hair to its maximum potential. That all changed after discovering […]

OMG Babes!!! Can you believe that it’s TTL’s 6th year anniversary!?!? I still cannot believe that this is my reality, and it makes me so emotional to think how I went from being a single mom with no job to now running a successful business. Of course none of this would have been possible without […]

On the heels of my Instagram Live with Nutrafol & expert dermatologist Dr. Hope Mitchell where we discussed all things regarding hair thinning, I want to have a place for this important topic to live.  Not only for the benefit of my beloved TTL community, but for anyone out there struggling with thinning or shedding […]

Tell me if you can relate: “Oh wow, I have a pimple on my cheek.  Cool, let me put some spot treatment on it.  Couple days later – yayy that bugger is gone!!  THEN in its place is a not so cute dark spot where the pimple once was, lingering for days, weeks, months who […]

There are many rituals this skincare junkie has adopted over the years.  And I must say dermaplaning is the only one I was super skeptical about trying.  Even my daughters tried it before me!!  In my mind I was like, “am I gonna grow a beard??” Lord I would be the one!! What is Dermaplaning? […]

Would you believe that I didn’t start a skincare routine until I was 32? I share this to say that if you’re a late skincare bloomer like me, all hope is not lost. As they say, “better late than never”. My biggest advice to anyone just getting started is to keep it simple yet consistent. […]

The choice to embrace your white hair is individual and there is no right or wrong in the journey or process. I want to share my journey to help anyone out there who might be struggling with the transition or has questions, as well as to share a few tips on caring for grey hair […]

When I was younger I used to feel so frustrated with my hair.  When I say younger I mean when I was like 36 or 37 lol! Most of my life I have been fighting my hair: fighting for definition, fighting the frizz, fighting for hydration, fighting for consistent results. Babes it has been a […]

Does one bishh need all these products??!!  If you’re asking ME then the answer is HELLSSS YEAH!! All year long I receive dozens and dozens of phenomenal products to try.  Not all of them make the cut but the ones that do have that extra something that stands above the rest. You see, for me […]

There are some skincare ingredients that have major street cred in the beauty world.  I would have to say Retinol is definitely head-of-the-class.  Be it in a serum, cream, mask, or even an eye cream, skincare enthusiasts swear by it.  BUT like why is retinol such a widely held must have ingredient in your skincare […]
