I love fashion and beauty, yet am also a minimalist. I'm a professional dancer and model and have been a part of the entertainment industry for years. I've also worked in one of the largest beauty retailers as a consultant. Minimalist Beauty is a lifestyle of simplicity, freedom from clutter and the unnecessary, using organic and natural beauty products free of any chemical or toxic preservatives, and spending more time doing what you absolutely love most. Minimalist Beauty is my journey of thoughts, inspirations, and lessons creating a life of simplicity and therefore more artistic expression. I hope you enjoy!

“Pina”–Dance, Dance Otherwise We Are Lost
Yesterday I saw the film “Pina” a tribute to German modern dance choreographer Pina Bausch. I feel heightened with new senses, inspired to express my art with unabashed honesty, and more dedicated to do whatever needs to be done to achieve my dreams. It is so amazing that seeing another in their divine expression can [...]

Terressentials Pure Earth Hair Wash
Last December I decided to finally try the Terressentials Pure Earth Hair Wash, especially after hearing so much about it from Minimalist Beauty readers, on the Hairlista forum, and on YouTube. So I went to the website and found that there was a local retailer that sold Terressentials products. I purchased both the Organic Left [...]
Insatiably Satiable
Every day I get closer to not even being inclined to buy just to buy, just as I’m no longer craving sugar and desserts now that I have cut them out of my diet. When I began my minimalist journey two years ago, I remember thinking that a minimalist lifestyle was for those who wanted [...]

Curly Confession–The Curly Girl Method
Yesterday I picked up the expanded 2nd edition of Curly Girl–The Handbook by Lorraine Massey. I read the entire book in one sitting and truly enjoyed it from cover to cover.

Catnip–A Beauty and Health Herb
Last month I did a trial using catnip tea for a hair rinse and also as a facial toner. If you are at all familiar with catnip also known as catmint, it is a herb from the mint family that most cats go crazy over. I learned about catnip from Ktani on the Long Hair [...]
