The Skinny Confidential is all about creating a healthy lifestyle through balance. Think kale in one hand, champagne in the other. Lauryn created The Skinny Confidential while studying at San Diego State University. She was inspired to create a platform for women to connect through her tips & tricks, as well as their own. Since then, the blog has grown into a full-on lifestyle brand, book, fitness guide, YouTube channel & social network, with a product line coming soon. The blog is her home base, where she shares recipes, workouts, fashion, home décor, travel itineraries, personal stories, & more. You can also find her actively engaging on social media; Snapchat (@LAURYNEVARTS) is her current favorite!
Now for the fun part! Here's the 411 on Lauryn's daily essentials:
- Alligator Clips: I use these little suckers RELIGIOUSLY. The Sleep Bun will save curls & give you perfect mermaid hair. You can use it daily too just to keep your hair out of your face. The best part is that they won’t damage your hair.
- TSC Business Cards: You never know who you’ll meet. You definitely want to be ready to share your contact info whether you’re out with friends, at the car wash, or on an airplane.
- Pink Eyebrow Brushes: Every woman should be armed with eyebrow brushes. Throw them in your purse, car, desk drawers, boyfriend’s car, KEEP THEM EVERYWHERE. Brushing your eyebrows up gives your face a serious LIFT. See this eyebrow tutorial for more info.
- Lip Fusion XXL: Who doesn’t want a little lip plump throughout the day? This lip plumper is the most effective one yet. You’ll notice a HUGE difference, especially if you use it regularly. KYLIE JENNER style.
- Sunglasses: This is probably a staple in every girl’s purse during summer. Gotta protect those eyes & skin around them from harmful sun rays!
- Time Cube: Time blocking is HUGE for increasing productivity. Keep it in your purse so that no matter where you’re working - at home, in your office, at a coffee shop - you can be the most productive & efficient version of yourself. More on time blocking HERE.
- Bling Wipes: These are the best wipes for giving your jewelry, engagement ring, or dog’s name tag (YES I polish both Pixy & Boone’s bling ) a quick clean & polish. They’re also super easy & convenient to carry in your bag.
- Dry Shampoo: When you wash your hair as little as I do, you’ll need this in your bag. Giving yourself a little spritz of dry shampoo after a workout or just to liven things up is ESSENTIAL.
- Glossier Highlighter: This highlighter is a total game changer. Reapply if you feel like your face needs some brightness or a quick contour.
- Cute Pens: One of the best habits you can get into is writing down inspiration wherever you find it. All you need is a pen & a cute little notebook, you’ll be shocked at how many AMAZING ideas you get every day.
Huge thank you to Lauryn of The Skinny Confidential for letting us into your bag! I know I'll be running out to pick up the Lip Fusion XXL and Glossier Highlighter STAT. If you LOVE this series, comment below & let me know who you want to see featured on the blog!
