In the growing pains and the glow up—with a standing appointment with grace.

NEWEST IN FAITH LIFE
Can we talk about what this has been like on this side?
” […] Though prioritizing and constantly anticipating the needs or wants of others birthed early on from a place of self-protection, and later adapted as a wholesome intent to be of service–when I realized how much I relied on it to feel competent, worthy and included, and how often it actually left me feeling exploited, beside myself, and deeply discouraged, I knew something needed to change.”
After years of reflection, I finally know what this space is for.
The new GOOD GRACES blog is where you’ll find meaningful conversations about beauty, motherhood, faith, becoming, and the daily practice of not pretending.
If this sounds like the scroll-interruption you’ve been looking for, you’re in good company.

PHLUR | Heavy Cream Body Mist
With key notes of Whipped Cream, Coconut Cream, Jasmine Blossom and Vanilla Mousse, this decadent body and hair mist was named perfectly–it has a heavy hit. With that said, if you enjoy creamy, sweet, seductive gourmands, you’ll likely enjoy the lasting power and full-bodied presence of this mist. Very coconut forward! I love this to go right on skin after a bath or shower.
YVES SAINT LAURENT | Libre L’eau
With key notes of Green Mandarin, Bergamot and Orange Blossom, this alcohol-free fragrance was a stunning summer, skin-like scent for me without being overpowering. (I found it quite inoffensive for my sensitive nose during pregnancy!) This scent was clean and sophisticated to me, while giving a warm, citrusy floral essence that compels you lean in to smell it more.
TATCHA | Dewy Milk Moisturiser
One of my favorite lightweight moisturizers I have tried maybe ever. All the magic of their iconic Dewy skin cream–in a summer-friendly and oil/combo skin-friendly milky and lightweight formula. BEAUTIFUL under makeup. Not overly dewy, heavy or slippery, just a deep dose of hydration and radiance that dries down to a balanced, bouncy, happy skin finish. I personally loved this as a dry & sensitive skin type during summer.
EADEM | Mami Face Mist
This decadent, ultra-fine hydrating and soothing mist has been a go-to for me post-cleanse to restore hydration and calm my my dry, sensitive skin. If you are using exfoliating actives, treatments or retinol in your routine and experience any kind of sensitivities, this refreshing mist effectively reduces redness and irritation, and it supports your skin barrier. Not your average hydration mist, but a real luxury addition to the average routine.
A faith-full double feature.

You may have noticed this is no longer a self-titled blog. It was always meant to be bigger than me.
If I were a broken record, after having the most stunning, promising beginning chords—I’d say over and over, “allow me to reintroduce myself-” And just as you get ready for the beat drop, I’d begin skipping and sputtering out, until eventually, the whole track restarts again. Never getting much further than laying the lovely concept itself. Rounding a melody or two before ripping the record back to the 0-second mark. Reintroducing myself. Starting over. Again.
