My obsessions with beauty and fashion began at a young age.  When I was a little girl my Grandmother used to say "It hurts to be beautiful”. While I truly believe that beauty comes from within, she had a good point. We will wax, pluck, soak, tweeze and squeeze until we’re bruised, battered, and bleeding. But despite all the pain, I’m constantly looking for ways to not only look better, but feel better. This includes eating well and exercise in addition to great skincare, hair and make-up. Since I turned 40 this year, and have two small children I'm always looking for more energy and quick ways to make myself look awake when maybe I'm not! I have spent a ridiculous amount of time wandering French Pharmacies, Sephora, CVS, and I love to read magazines, labels and blogs to compile any and all information that might have the slightest ability to make me look and feel better and shave off years….ok at this point days/minutes are fine too! 

It’s quite obvious that Vina has passion for making people look and feel their best. Over the years we’ve bonded over our love for all things beauty so we hope to deliver a piece each month to share new finds, beauty routines, and feature salon products. Enjoy!
