The journey to balancing my skin has led me on a path to also balance every aspect of my daily life. To encourage me to not only live in my moment but to enjoy it. Now my goal is to share that with you.
Welcome to With Saj.
We've all been there, right? Drowning in new beauty trends, sticking to the same old routine because it's safe, or staring at a makeup kit that looks more like a mystery box. Here's the truth—I get it, and I've created something just for you.
The drop in temperature and humidity during these months can lead to dry, dull, and sensitive skin. To maintain a healthy and radiant complexion, it's essential to adjust your skincare routine accordingly. In this blog post, I’ll discuss some effective tips and product recommendations for transitioning your skincare for the fall and winter seasons.
As my workouts become frequent I notice that my body acne has been flaring up more and the breakouts are forming under my sports bra and workout clothes. I’m doing everything in my power to not yeet working out straight out of the door, I created a post-workout selfcare routine that has worked wonders for my skin, and I'm excited to share them with you!
t’s reveal day for this Rainbow spa themed Shared Girls Bedroom makeover! I cannot believe it’s been 8 weeks in the making, and I equally cannot believe that I made it to the end…AND on schedule! Small Miracles!Before we get into the final reveal, let’s take a walk down memory lane for a little look back and where we began our girls bedroom makeover.
There’s one week left to complete the Rainbow Spa Shared Girls Bedroom and I’m happy to report that I think I actually will finish on time! That little deadline being a birthday combo is very excellent motiviation.
Because if we have to smile at another Mom is Great mug that’s too small to hold the 16 oz of coffee needed to make it through the day…
What I thought would have been an easy paint job turned into massive drywall patching, who knew two girls could do such damage.
We’ve got a big girl bed! The beds came in early and set up was included for delivery so my little one gets to sleep on her big girl bed while I continue to work on the room. Under their supervision of course.
Hello and welcome to week three update of the Rainbow Unicorn Spa Bedroom makeover for my two little ladies. We have a combo catch up post today because I missed week two due to a dental surgery ( the worstttttt) and had to take the week off to recover.
The annual Sephora Spring Savings event is back I’m sharing the products that I’ve been using and loved along with some new products I’m interested in trying! All categorized for you by Body Care, Skincare, Makeup, Hair Care, Fragrance, and Suncare
To give you a little more about my tiny design crew, they are 6 and 4 ( big sister will be turning 7 just in time for reveal week!!!!) and share a single bedroom. They already have an amazing closet space and it’s time we get this room, which admittedly hasn’t been touched since we moved in two years ago, in alignment with the little ladys they are both becoming.
The basement office/beauty studio is 98% complete with the main feature right now being a floating 7 foot makeup vanity.
Happy holidays and welcome to the most beautiful ( and easily the most expensive) time of year. This year I’m hosting a small group for Christmas Dinner, last year was my biggest and while I’m sad everyone wasn’t able to come together this year. It also means there is some pressure taken off my shoulders.
One of my favorite things in life is gifting friends and family. There’s no better feeling than finding the perfect gift for someone, especially during the holidays. I know that the phrase “it’s the thought that counts” is synonymous with a…not so great gift.
The coziest holiday deserves outfits that are just as cozy and most importantly cute. Today I’m sharing cozy sweater outfits under $200. Perfect for the family Thanksgiving dinner or the Friendsgiving dinner party with the besties.
Welcome to the ultimate Holiday Party Outfit Guide for 2022 for your party outfit needs and for kids party looks in all budget ranges.
Christmas is hands down one of the prettiest holidays in terms of decor. You’ve got all the sparkle, twinkle, and light on every surface possible. After I became a mom that spark died down pretty quickly. Mostly because my decorations were broken within seconds by my then-active toddler. I now needed to enter the world of kid-proof Christmas decor.
With my oily/combo/acne prone skin type, I have had some pretty negative side effects from sunscreen. From breakouts to congestion to also causing Malassezia (fungal acne) flare-ups. Did that mean that I just don’t wear sunscreen? No! It means that I just needed to find the RIGHT sunscreen for my skin.
A new term has landed on an age-old system. Skincycling.
While the term may have originated from TikTok. The premise isn’t new and is the basis of any solid skincare routine. Today I’m sharing exactly what skin cycling is and how to adjust your skincare routine to it.
Don’t worry dear blog reader, you too shall be rewarded (as readers should!) Today I’m sharing the 3D design renders for each of the spaces in our unfinished basement renovation.
Before we get into the joy of fresh drywall mud. Let’s rewind and go through the most stressful part of our basement reno project….electrical. Turning my basement into my dream beauty office and content studio week 2
The skin barrier is responsible for retaining our moisture levels and preventing pollutants from entering. It can be damaged by sun and UV exposure, environmental/ pollutant stressors, or our favourite physical damage from over exfoliation.
Turning my basement into my dream beauty office and content studio. Okay not the entire basement, but obviously this is the part I'm most excited about! Commence project Saj Mack Headquarters!
Happy National Lipstick Day 2022! Keep reading for the best deals and sales for national lipstick day.
The annual Sephora Spring Savings event is here. I’m sharing the products that I purchased during last year’s sale that are 1000% worth the restock as they are now holy grails along with some new product launches worth checking out!
Nothing makes me feel more feminine, strong, and just put together in life than a beautiful crisp all-white outfit. If it has lace or eyelet in the material, then just consider me unstoppable.
Christmas is usually when I make a 12 course meal even when it was just my husband and I. I took my very first Christmas Dinner as a wife very seriously ( we were married in August) and continued the tradition ever since. This year I’ll be hosting our family bubble who are all vegetarians ( we are late to the club).
The first thing to always keep in mind when creating tablescapes is what is the mood of the event you would like to envoke. As this is a dinner with immediate family, I want to encourage a feeling of warmth, conversation, and laughter.
With crisp, cool air comes crip dry skin...unfortunately. While many take the signal of cooler weather to break out the thick occlusive creams, this isn’t always the best idea for oily skin types.
Let's chat about a common makeup dilemma: keeping under-eye concealer crease-free. While TikTok is full of creaseless concealer hacks, some tips can get a bit crazy, like dipping your concealer into setting powder—what I call pancake mix. Let’s break down the concealer creasing dilemma with professional tips that actually help.
