KatWalkSF - Holiday Beauty Gift Guide

Turning 30 changed a lot for me – including an OBSESSION with ALL things beauty.

So I threw together a holiday gift guide to help you navigate your holiday shopping list for the beauty addict in your life.

FOREO - IrisThe FOREO IRIS: Illuminating Eye Massager Set

I am OBSESSED with this uniquely designed eye massager. It utilizes alternative T-Sonic technology to reduce the visible signs of crow’s feet, dark circles + bags under your eyes while dramatically improving the absorption of you favorite eye cream or serum (and the set comes with Kate Somerville Dermal Quench Liquid Lift + Retinol andRetinol Firming Eye Cream. The unique technology of the IRIS delivers gentle pulsations to the eye area, which are far more effective than manually massaging the eye contour. It features two different modes so you can choose the one to best suit your needs.

 

OUAI - style edit set

The OUAI: Style Edit Set

Which hair type is this set good for? Straight/Wavy/ Curly/Coiled Tightly. THIS must-have holiday set from celebrity hair stylist Jen Atkin features three travel-friendly OUAI styling essentials. This set contains:- 1.7 oz/ 50 mL Wave Spray – 1.4 oz/ 40 g Texturizing Hair Spray – 0.5 oz/15 mL Finishing Creme and 6 x Hair ties.

Volition. - Beauty - Holiday Gifts

The VOLITION: Ultimate Anti-Aging Custom Trio

Finally a 3-in-1 system that eliminates the need for multiple, unnecessary products. Take control of your regimen by customizing it to your skin with the gold standard of anti-aging actives – hyaluronic acid, vitamin c and retinol – all in one system for day and night.

Scent Of A Dream

Charlotte Tilbury ‘Scent of a Dream’ Fragrance

Charlotte Tilbury has created a one-of-a-kind perfume with ‘Scent of a Dream.’ I am obsessed with this perfume and actually carry it about in my purse 24/7…even though my sister is not a huge fan of the scent on me! “I have been mixing my own secret scent for years and have been fascinated by the idea that one’s perfume can attract others and also change the energy frequency of the people and environment around you.” —Charlotte Tilbury.

TNS Serum

Skin Medica: TNS Essential Serum

This all-in-one anti-aging product improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and the overall tone and texture of the skin. This product has a MAJOR cult following (including Oprah) even though discarded infant foreskins are included in the ingredients. The serum has quite the hefty price tag, but word on the street is that it is TOTALLY worth it.

Burke Williams - Gift Card

And LAST but not least give the gift that EVERYONE wants: The Burke Williams gift card.

There is a Burke Williams in almost every major city, you can snag one online + we all need a massage right about now.

Right?

Casio Vintage Collection

Have I started my holiday shopping?

Nope.

Do I spend half of the week working from the Bespoke office in theWestfield San Francisco Centre?

YES!

I literally work RIGHT next to Bloomingdale’s. So today is the day – I’m highly caffeinated and ready to hit the mall for all the tricky holiday shopping I decided to leave for the VERY last minute.

But before I get my booty out of bed I am taking a minute to throw it WAY back with the team from Casio and their vintage collection. They have created a series of timepieces that never go out of style + complement almost any outfit! They are the perfect gift for someone special (shit – anyone) on your holiday list that appreciates the combination of fashion + function in an affordable + timeless package. Vintage aficionados go for the classic retro watches – #TrustMe they are all over Instagram and Pinterest.

And the crew at Casio has been going strong since 1957, with their timepieces at the forefront of the digital revolution. Founded in Tokyo, Japanese brand Casio offers a collection of watches that spans both retro and contemporary styles. Known for their innovative features, such as calculator functions, Casio watches adopt a bold use of color to bring a modern edge to their collections of digital + analog watches.

Perfect Never – A REAL Health + Fitness Check In with Reebok

KatWalkSF 8 Comments

Reebok - Perfect Never

Am I confident + empowered?

Sure….most of the time. But in the spirit of Reebok’s #PerfectNever campaign, I decided to take a minute and chat about the pressure of creating the perfect Instagram image. Do I ask every photographer I work with to make me look skinny? HELL YA!

BUT…

Sometimes all the angled poses and talented photographers are not enough and I still look larger than I wish (or expected) in an image. Do I leave the photo alone and post it? Sometimes. Do I take a moment and reshape my big booty on Facetune? Yep, sometimes I do that too.

The reality of Instagram is the that there are NOT a lot of REAL people in the app. There are countless tools to modify and edit a photo and create an image that is in fact not very REAL.

So where do I go from here?

Do I get my big booty back in the gym? It has literally been MONTHS since I hit the gym (post-mono).

Yes! I had mono at 30.

I think the gym and a healthy diet are the best routes to get me back to the REAL image of myself that I am looking for…but getting back into the gym sounds impossible!

However, in your quest for empowerment and confidence, you will realize that seeking support is crucial. That’s when you need to stumble upon walkin clinic Oakland Gardens NYC that can provide assistance on your journey towards fitness. With their expertise and guidance, you can take the necessary steps to prioritize your health and well-being.

I think that I also need to change out my fitness routine! Hey, SF ladies where are you working out?

Do I need to get my booty into Barry’s Bootcamp?

I am REALLY asking!

Reebok - Perfect Never

Now let’s take a minute and talk about what I’m wearing here.

Does a new workout outfit motivate you to go to the gym?

Yep!

Does a flattering workout outfit motivate you?

HELL YA!

I know that fitness will never make me perfect, but it will help me be the best version of myself.

And the best version of myself is REAL.

KatWalkSF - Velvet OTK Boots

Is it me or am I the only one who is obsessed with ALL things VELVET this Fall?

From these ASOS velvet OTK boots to these Banana Republic lace-up ankle strap ballet flats I simply can NOT stop myself from filling up my online shopping cart with ALL things VELVET.

The fabric is everywhere on everything and for some reason, it brings back memories of me misbehaving at the Nutcracker ballet every damn year (sorry mom).

So I put together a KILLER collection of my favorite velvet Fall Fashion Finds.
