Festive parties, family get-togethers and gift swaps with friends are hallmarks of the holiday season but it’s no secret this time of year can also bring a tremendous amount of stress with giving and receiving gifts at the top of the holiday anxiety list. Because gifting is the name of our game over here at Wren and Wild we thought we’d put together a short list of helpful hints that will have you leave you stress-free and enjoying the smiles on their faces each time they open one of your amazing holiday packages. 

It will come as no surprise to any of our clients that we are fangirls of all the brands we carry. We get the wild privilege of product training with brand founders and team educators. We learn the stories behind their fabulous formulations, insider tips and tricks from the pros themselves and we share these with you in-store, on our social pages and in our newsletters each week. With such an amazing list of insider secrets, we thought we’d put some of our favorites together for you in one place. ENJOY, you’re about to look more amazing than you already do!

Wren and Wild is now offering IV Therapy in collaboration with Activate Bend. IV Therapy is new to the Nest Beauty Lounge but not new on the scene of health and beauty. Touted as a biohacking dream by celebrities like Crissy Teagan and Cindy Crawford to Gwynth’s Guru Dermatologist who believes it’s the boost we all need for the skin treatments we are receiving. We thought, who better to ask about all things IV Therapy than our in-house RN, Tiffany, the owner and founder of Activate Bend? 

Turns out the notion of beauty sleep is not a fairy tale. There’s plenty of scientific research backing the recommendation of 7-9 hours of sleep for your skin’s health and although we can’t rearrange your busy schedule for you, we are here to help you get the best sleep you can while you rest and in turn a radiant glow each morning. 

Here’s the skinny on sleeping sound and waking up with stunning skin. 

We give a lot of air time to the products that give our skin a natural glow, soften our complexion and allow our makeup to sit perfectly placed on our skin without lines and creases. Naturally, when we were putting together the spa services we knew we needed an expertly executed Dermaplaning Procedure on our menu. To introduce those of you new to the procedure we sat down with TNBL’s lead esthetician Maddy Brennan to ask her about the process. 

We can all relate, sometimes we look in the mirror and the condition of our skin seems scary. We see the effects of overindulging in the summer sun, the horror! We catch a glimpse of a photo and wonder why our eyes look so puffy and tired, yikes! Or the face looking back at us is simply lackluster and dull, ugh, chilling. It’s enough to want to crawl under the covers and hide our most forward-facing feature from the world. 

This Halloween, let’s keep the movies scary and our skin healthy, revitalized and radiant with one of our high-functioning, stress-relieving, skin-loving face masks? 

Over 25 years ago, Tammy Fender pioneered a movement towards natural, plant-based luxury skincare and holistic living. Today, lucky recipients of a Tammy Fender spa experience are still reaping the rewards of her ingenuity and expertise. And very soon her influence and product line will be a signature experience in The Nest Clean Beauty Lounge. We’ve had the wonderful pleasure of meeting the TF team and getting to ask Tammy herself a few questions. 

Wren and Wild has always existed on a small but mighty team. As our coveted clean beauty boutique expands, the staff is still an intimate group of cosmetic queens but their knowledge and expertise are as expansive as the beauty industry itself. This is especially true for the lead esthetician of The Nest Beauty Lounge, Maddy Brennan. 

Hi Beauties, talking trash can be dirty but, I promise, there’s a silver lining: All of those tiny tubes and itty bitty brushes that were headed for the landfill and our oceans can be kept out of the environment by discarding them through our PACT collection program. But, for it to be successful we have to follow a few rules. Learn all about how to help here.

Exfoliation is one of the surest ways to get smooth, glowy, softer-looking skin in no time and it’s one of the easiest products to overuse because of these immediate results. Let’s take a look at what exactly is giving us that illuminated skin and how do we use it to maximize the benefits and keep our skin healthy and bright. 

Here's to mornings made easy, quick mid day pick-me-ups and an any time routine that is simple, chic and won't break the lunch money bank.

Together, let's end packaging waste in the beauty industry

Concern for our personal wellbeing is not the only issue with the beauty industry, nor is it the only reason Wren and Wild  Clean Beauty exists. The health of the planet is a major reason companies are going “green” and has a huge influence on how Mandy & Carly curate the store. Here's how you can help.
