I have met many women over the years who share how complicated and overwhelmed they feel when it comes to skincare, makeup and beauty.  Many confess to owning lots of pricey serums and lotions, but have no clue how to use them or even what results to expect.  When I identify a problem, I like to come up with a solution. I feel I can be that solution, and that is why I created BeautyRoams. If I’m able help just one person feel good about themselves by answering a skincare question or give them a time saving tip so they can fit a little self-love time in, well, I’ve done what I came here to do!

Hello there! I’m Jess and I live in a van! I have over 20yrs experience working in the beauty industry. I’m experienced in all facets of the skincare and beauty industry, from client, to makeup artist, to service provider as a licensed esthetician, to spa manager, to educator, then to skincare sales. I have worked in department stores, day spas, medical spas, and 5-star luxury resorts. I’ve personally suffered (and naturally recovered) from adult acne due to developed dietary allergies in my 30’s. Through the lessons learned and knowledge gained, I have curated tried and true skincare and beauty tricks that work. I’m genuinely passionate about health, beauty, and wellness and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others.

In May 2019, I left my career in luxury skincare to travel with my husband in our self-built van. I went from #citylife to #vanlife and had to adapt very quickly to changing climates, time-zones, and a lot less counter space for all my skincare products! I now share 70sq feet of living space with my husband and ALL his fishing poles, so I needed to find another space for me that was all mine. I created BeautyRoams blog to be the place where I can go and share my love for all things skincare and beauty, and to do what I enjoy most, teaching and empowering woman to feel their best. Here you can find professional skincare tips and advice, honest product reviews, travel hacks, and the occasional gluten free and dairy free recipes. All of my tips, tricks, and recipes I personally implement in the van, which means you can easily do them at home too!

I have already been on the road for over a year traveling from San Diego to Alaska, over to Maine and then to Florida. We do not have plans to stop anytime soon. So follow along with me here on the blog, connect with me on instagram and youtube because we plan to head south into the Americas and you won’t want to miss a thing!
