    How to pick your signature scent with Mandy Davis Makeup Artist - Ep. 34

    Have you ever purchased a perfume you loved in the store, only to get home and realize it wasn't the one? In this episode, Sarah sits down with makeup artist, beauty educator, and fragrance enthusiast Mandy Davis to dive deep into the fascinating world of perfume. Mandy shares how she went from owning just a few fragrances to building a collection of more than 140 bottles, and explains why finding your signature scent is about so much more than simply smelling a perfume at the department store. You will learn why fragrances change throughout the day, how skin chemistry affects the way a perfume wears, why sampling is essential before investing in a full bottle, and how scent has the incredible ability to transport us back to cherished memories. Whether you are brand new to fragrance or already obsessed, this conversation will leave you inspired to discover scents that truly tell your story. Mandy's Top 10 Favorite Perfumes1.

    Why Curly Hair May Suffer More in the Fall and What you can do today with Sarah Crews - Ep. 31

    If you have noticed more hair in your brush or shower drain lately and you have wavy, curly, or coily hair, don’t panic. You are not going bald. Your hair is simply responding to seasonal changes in daylight, hormones, and humidity. But because textured hair behaves differently from straight hair, shedding can look more dramatic. In this episode, Sarah breaks down exactly why seasonal shedding hits curls harder and how you can support your hair from the inside out, so your texture stays strong, defined, and thriving all season long. 🧴 Key Products Mentioned:  Pro Products Available at https://studiogaven.com/ Kérastase Curl Manifesto Bain Hydratation DouceurKérastase Masque RéhydratantKérastase Potentialiste Scalp SerumRedken Amino-Mint Scalp ShampooRedken Acidic Bonding Concentrate MaskPureology Hydrate Shampoo & ConditionerPureology Strength Cure MaskShu Uemura Urban Moisture Mask Additional products Mentioned: Mielle Rosemary OilArgan / jojoba / grapeseed oilsHeeta Scalp BrushSatin bonnet / silk pillowcaseMicrofiber towel (Aquis)Steam capDiffuser attachmentWide-tooth detangling combNutrafol Women’s Core ✨ Final Thoughts Seasonal shedding is natural, but with the right internal support, scalp care, and hydration routine, it doesn’t have to derail your curls. Support your hormones, keep your scalp oxygenated, and hydrate consistently and your hair will respond beautifully. Connect with SarahQuestions or topic ideas?
