I’ve used and loved dry shampoo for over a decade and tried them all. It’s not often I don’t like one (unless the scent is just way too strong) but here are some of my go-to dry shampoos that I would buy if I lost my suitcase

@livingproofinc is one of the best of all time, truly

@amika is another classic worth the money

Lush and @odelebeauty are great powder options

@dove is a great drugstore pick

@colabhair is my most recent favorite that gives tons of volume and is also super affordable

What’s your favorite dry shampoo? Shop my picks in my Amazon Storefront!

The year was 2016, and it went like this:
✨ we adopted Luca
✨ I dyed my hair pink (& crown braids were HUGE)
✨ was grumpy with Grumpy Cat (RIP)
✨ saw Selena Gomez & DNCE w/ my HL fam (who?)
✨ had a quality NYCC press experience
✨ became an AUNTIE!!!
✨ co-mod’d (what should have been) a historic 90210 cast panel at the weirdest con ever w/ @emilylongeretta
✨ had life changing surgery
✨ experienced peak squad goals

PS How come “Closer” isn’t on IG?! That’s just rude.

We kicked off Thanksgiving week with a Beauty Holiday treasure hunt at @youthhaven and it a beauty🤩💫🙏🏼

We invited these young women to explore beauty, self-care, and personal style while building confidence-boosting gifts for themselves…and others!💗

And in the spirit of giving back, the girls joined us in creating self-care gifts for families at @valerieshouseswfl , a grief-support organization helping children and parents navigate life after loss🙏🏼❤️‍🩹

Our goal was simple:
Deliver a dose of love, support, and self-care to uplift teens facing some of life’s hardest challenges, reminding them that they are worthy, seen, and supported.

Mission: COMPLETE 🥰💫

Thank you to the incredible brands, editors, creators, and volunteers who helped to bring this @beautyholidayinc Magic✨ to life for these young women!

We are SO GRATEFUL for YOU!

Today @pacecollier we turned product excess into pure purpose and boy was it BEAUTIFUL🩷✨

We surprised the girls with a #BeautyHoliday treasure hunt with tables full of makeup, skincare, hair care, fragrance, fashion, nails and more— all donated through our #PurgewithPurpose initiative, where we help editors and influencers transform their product clutter into impact🙏🏼❤️

The girls curated self-care gifts for themselves, and paid the love forward, building beauty gifts and handwritten notes for their sister center @pacemanatee 💫💕

It was a beautiful morning in every sense of the word, transforming excess into impact, and our hearts are so full 🙏🏼❤️💫

Special thank you to the kind editors and influencers who joined our mission and #purgedwithpurpose to help bring this @beautyholidayinc magic to life!🙏🏼✨

Our first-ever NYC PR debut brought together beauty editors and creators to experience KNEMO’s vision firsthand — where integrity, longevity, and true innovation shape every formula.
Our guests got to experience the KNEMOVERSE to the fullest, getting an exclusive experience with the cutest activities like:
🍑 A first look at our Liplock Jelly Serums that pair perfectly with fruity mocktails (and cocktails).
💋 A lip reading by special lipsologists that can predict your future and your most unique character traits.
👛 Crafting cute custom keychains to attach to your lippie(s) of choice
🍡Kneading fresh rice cake and punch out any shape you want with your choice of filling for a sweet, texture-ful treat.

📸 And of course, plenty of camera rolls were filled.

A special thank you to Pape PR for putting together the perfect launch event.
