Hello new username!! @itslynnmichelle 💖
…simply my name…

All Gussied Up is still alive through my blog and YouTube channel & aren’t going anywhere! I’m a little emotional making the switch here but it feels like the right time.

I started All Gussied Up over 10 years ago and have shared wellness, beauty, and style content here since then. And since I’ve begun my journey to become a certified professional life coach, there has been a huge internal shift for me & what I feel called to share.

That means that I will still share all of the above in addition to my personal journey to fulfillment, whatever that looks like (because it’s always evolving!), tools to help you find yours, and just simply how I am inspired to live a beautifully aligned life from the inside out.

so happy you’re here 💋

✨ @oxygenetix oxygenating concealer 🪄

I had to share this concealer with you because it has been an absolute favorite for about a year now. While everyone is talking about more mainstream brands – this one deserves all.the.applause. 👏🏼 It’s clean AND it works. Like really works to cover dark circles, redness, etc. It also promotes oxygen absorption which = hydration. So it’s basically like skincare IN a makeup product. The icing on the cake is that it doesn’t cake or settle in to fine lines, making it fabulous for mature skin.
I use a blend of shades 1.0 and 2.0 under my eyes and on my lids as a primer and let me tell you, it’s FLAWLESS 🪄

Our favorite non-toxic toddler products 🧴 🪄

Our favorite non-toxic toddler products 🧴 🪄

@livinglibationsofficial Jai Baby Joy Moisturizing Massage Oil’s description is on point: infuses your baby’s skin with Fresh-infused Vanilla beans dipped in Coconut crème joined with jubilant Jojoba create a moisturizing elixir. We’ve loved this oil since Z was a baby and find that it hydrates her skin so nicely after bathtime. Plus the smell is intoxicating! No fake fragrances or additives. 🥥

Life-flo Pure Magnesium Spray: Magnesium is calming and we use this spray with the Baby Jai Oil at night and find that it really helps to wind down and with sleep. 👼🏻

@juicebeauty Sport Sunscreen: this one is not targeted for children, but after 6 months of age, babies/kids can wear sunscreen and we opted to apply this one as it has the same ingredients (20% zinc) as baby mineral sunscreen.

@kudostobaby diapers: We’ve quickly become diaper connoisseurs and our favorite by far are Kudos because they’re 100% cotton AND disposable. Kudos contains no lotions, fragrances, chlorine, phthalates, or latex. LOVE. If you want to give them a try for yourself, you can take $$ off your order with code LYNN10

@boka Space Paste (Orange Cream) toothpaste is a nod to NASA’s invention of nano-hydroxyapatite (nHa). Boka trades fluoride for n-Ha which was a must when we were looking for a clean toddler toothpaste. Plus, it’s 100% biocompatible and non-toxic. Z always asks for more!

There are lots of little luxuries that feed my soul and flowers are my favorite weekly ritual - to purchase and play with Zyla to arrange 💖🌸Training her young to take pleasure in the beauty and ritual of arranging fresh florals and she lovesss it 💐

retinol was an ingredient that I stopped using when I was pregnant & still avoid as I am breastfeeding. as a side note, many traditional skincare products containing retinol also come with parabens which can negatively affect your health.

so I set out to research products & ingredients that’d have a similar effect that are safe for pregnancy/breastfeeding and also clean. I found MOON JUICE from @herbivorebotanicals which is a plant-based, retinol-alternative serum containing 1% bakuchiol.

Bakuchiol has all of retinol’s benefits, but you won’t experience redness, dry skin, burning etc and as someone with sensitive skin, I can vouch for that. after using it for a month, I can see it working ✨ link to the exact product is in my skincare highlight 💖

✨AT HOME LASH EXTENSIONS✨ When it comes to eye

✨AT HOME LASH EXTENSIONS✨
When it comes to eyelashes, I sadly didn’t win luscious ones in the gene pool.
I love long, thick & fluttery lashes and I’ve tried everything from strip lashes to salon extensions to lash serums. All of the above damaged my natural lashes.

But then I started hearing some great things about @lashify DIY lash extension system. I was excited to try it, but honestly a little skeptical. But I’m SO glad I did because the results are game-changing. My lashes have never looked better!

The lashes (gossamers, the term lashify uses) I am wearing here are the chocolate stardust style in lengths 12 and 14 (two 12’s on the inner eye and two 14’s on the outer eye area). If you’re wanting a more natural looking lash, the chocolate color is sooo good. It’s a dark brown that will make your eyes pop but won’t give you that stark contrast that black does.

Lashify’s DIY lash extension system is not like salon extensions or glue-on strip lashes. The gossamers are applied to the underside of your natural lashes for a seamless look. AND Lashify's formulas are ophthalmologist-tested, hypoallergenic and free of irritants, such as formaldehydes, cyanoacrylates and latex.
It takes me about 10 mins start to finish for both eyes.

These stay on for daysss and make life so much easier & of course more glam 💖

Here to share my tried-and-true healthy @costco faves that I purchase monthly. Most are organic. 🌱Planning out Costco trips inspire me to be thoughtful with what I add to my list and the meals I plan for 💖

The list:
🧀 Organic string cheese - always to have on hand for Zyla as a snack

🥜 Organic Almond butter - Costco’s is just THE best. I add to smoothies and to oatmeal
🥣

🥥 Organic Unrefined coconut oil - cannot beat the price for organic AND unrefined coconut oil! I mostly use it to roast root veggies.

🥖 Organic sourdough

🍒 Organic dark sweet cherries (frozen): for my favorite smoothie - cherry pie smoothie

🥣 One degree organic oats - I always make sure the oats I buy are organic/glyphosate tested and free

🍁 Organic maple syrup - for adding to my morning coffee

🍜 Organic chicken stock - to get all those bone broth benefits! I use stock for so many things…to cook rice, add to soups, to drink on its own…

🥓 Tender Belly uncured bacon - Not organic, but I like that this bacon is uncured. It’s delish!

This stuff is like a spa date in a bottle. I set out to find the most impactful scalp treatment ingredients to make my own and it does not disappoint. If you have dry scalp, psoriasis, or just want a super luxurious spa-like experience in your bathroom, this is IT.

Ingredients:
All organic…

1 tablespoon Olive oil
1.5 tablespoons castor oil
5-10 drops of tea tree oil
1.5 tablespoons burdock root oil

Add each ingredient to a glass dropper bottle and apply to your scalp as needed. For an extra luxe experience, I like to leave the treatment on my scalp overnight and then shampoo in the morning.
