“I am ridiculously busy. I run a fast paced PR firm and I’m also a wife and mother of two small children. Needless to say, I get little sleep. I like an effective, quick and easy beauty routine. I’m a simple girl at heart, but often have to play myself up for work. My routine has to carry me from power breakfast to parent/teacher meetings and then to evening cocktail parties.”
The Facial: “I have combination skin. I get facials with microderm at The Red Bloom in Bethesda with Germaine.”
The Hair: “I go to the hairdresser weekly. Shirley Gordon at Strands Salon in Wheaton keeps me looking my best.”
The Massage: “I get my massages at Parma Spa in McLean.”
Nails & Waxing: “BluWater Day Spa in Rockville. Julie Nguyen is a brow superstar.”
The products: “My must-have is my Alchimie Forever eye cream and Obagi Sun Fader. I use that Obagi system morning and night to keep my skin clean and bright. I use Bobbi Brown cosmetics like their warm walnut oil free foundation, glosses, brownzers, and shadows.”
