Still climbing. Still glowing.

My first job out of college was as an Assistant Manager at Lord and Taylor in the Chicago suburbs, surrounded by cosmetics and skin care. I was hooked from day one. Somewhere along the way life took me through tech and sales and leadership, and I built a whole career there too. But skin care always stayed my thing.

For a long time I put everyone else first. I was a single mom raising two boys, and their needs came before mine, every time, for years. That was the right call and I would not change it. But my sons are grown now, and this season is mine.

I still want to climb Stone Mountain. I want to hike, ride my bike, and feel great doing it, not just manage. I swam Division I in college, and that same drive to move and feel strong never really left me. So I started paying real attention again, to what I put on my face, what I take for my body, what actually works versus what is just packaging.

Olive My Glow is where I share the products I have found and trust, the ones I actually reach for. Not because someone paid me to say so, but because I have used them, I believe in them, and I would love to share them with you.
