skincare’s spicy glowtician
Here’s the tea: we were tired of recycled skincare advice, overpriced trends that flop, and product reviews that sounded like they were written by a PR intern with a thesaurus. So we built a corner of the internet where glow-ups get gritty.
Espresso to Glow is where skincare meets wit, caffeine, and questionable decisions. Our reviews are brutally honest, our routines are tested on late nights and breakouts, and our standards? Unreasonably high. We don’t gatekeep—if it works, we spill. If it doesn’t, we drag (respectfully).
Think of us as your glow-obsessed group chat—minus the bad advice and pyramid schemes. We decode the marketing filler, test the viral hacks, and hand you the receipts with a cute font and a side of sarcasm.
This isn’t your average beauty blog.
It’s the one that tells you what’s worth your money, your time, and your bathroom shelf space.
What if skincare content didn’t feel like a sales pitch or a science class?
We created Espresso to Glow because we got tired of searching for answers that never really answered anything. You want to know what works. You want to know why. And you want someone to explain it without sounding like a commercial or a chemist.
So we do that. Thoughtfully. Relentlessly. And occasionally with a side-eye.
Who’s Behind This
This site is run by women who know their way around an ingredient list, who double-check claims, and who are deeply allergic to wasted time and bad product recs.
We’re not selling you a lifestyle. We’re offering clarity. One page at a time.
The Approach
We believe good content should do two things: inform and entertain. We’re not here to deliver sermons—we’re here to break things down, point you in the right direction, and keep it moving.
If it’s featured here, it’s been tested, talked about, and edited within an inch of its life. Nothing makes the cut just because it’s trending
You’ll Like It Here If:
You want your skincare to make sense.
You like your beauty content smart, sharp, and lowkey funny.
And you’d rather get a real answer than a roundup of 12 “maybes.”
We don’t think skincare—or wellness, or beauty—has to be complicated, condescending, or cost your last brain cell. Espresso to Glow is for the girl who wants clarity without clichés, results without the runaround, and reviews that read like your group chat, not a lecture from someone who just discovered hyaluronic acid.
We test everything so you don’t have to. From beauty hacks to wellness obsessions to the skincare step that’s secretly breaking you out—this is your edit of what’s actually worth it. Every pick is filtered through a blend of common sense, curiosity, and good lighting.
Because glowing isn’t just about your skin—it’s about feeling like you’ve got it together, even if it’s only from the neck up.
Let’s Collaborate
We experiment so you don’t have to
Think of us as your unofficial test kitchen for everything beauty, wellness, and skin-related. If it’s trending, we’ve probably already slathered it on, iced it down, or zapped it with something FDA-adjacent—all in the name of research.
No Buzzwords, Just Breakdowns
Retinol, peptides, lymphatic drainage—we don’t name-drop ingredients to sound smart. We translate the science, decode the marketing, and tell you when that $90 serum is just overpriced moisturizer with a PR package.
More Trial, Less Error
This is where girl math meets beauty math. We’re not here to hoard half-used products or pretend a jade roller changed our lives. If it’s worth your time, your money, or your countertop space—you’ll hear it here first.

First of all, that is so sweet of you to ask! It means so much to me that you love to read my blog and are inspired to create your own. While I love answering these questions, I have been getting quite a bit lately and I should probably just make a blog post about it! There is too much I could say that a simple comment would not do it all justice. As for right now, please e-mail me and we can chat. The more specific your questions, the better I can help!!
am pretty sure I am 5’4″, but I haven’t measured myself in ages. Does this count as petite?
My first blog post on here was September 2015! My very first blog was called Kelly Ruth’s Closet back in 2013. I then changed the name to Simply Glam Style in 2014… then The Glamorous Teacher in 2015. I quit teaching (lol) so it became The Glamorous Blonde. And now… my domain name is Kelly Ruth Hans. I will always be The Glamorous Blonde.
Yes! I started my dance career when I was on Drill Team in high school (hence my first big girl job). When I went to Baylor, I was on the pom squad, the Songleaders. My last year I served as a captain. After college, I danced for the Dallas Mavericks. #dreamcometrue #MFFL. Currently, I am a freelance dance coach and choreographer.
I have in the past. For a long time, I had microbead extensions in my hair and I loved them. I also have tried tape ins (which I didn’t like) and currently use clip in extensions when I am feeling fancy or want some added volume in a braid or updo!
It changes all the time, but I do have a couple makeup tutorials on my YouTube chanel.
