Episode 24 | Taking it All Off & Exposing the Real You with Lauren Napier, Founder of Lauren Napier Beauty

THE BEAUTY EDITION

Lauren exudes zen vibes. And if you know me, I am all about the vibes.
What I really enjoy about Lauren and her story is her penchant for simplicity.
When society calls us daily to layer on, cocktail this, smudge that, Lauren calls for us to take it all off.

From Flight Attendant to Founder of her own beauty line, Flaunt, Lauren brings to market her eco-friendly and sustainably made make-up removal wipes; so that we can indeed, take it all off and feel good doing it too.
