About Me
The Bougee Nurse80
Hi, I'm Amanda, a nurse at heart with a deep love for beauty, skincare, travel, and living life fully.
By day (and often nights), I work as a nurse, which has shaped how I see the world: I value education, safety, research, and results. That same mindset carries over into everything I share here — especially when it comes to skincare and beauty. I don't just try products; I love learning why they work and who they're truly right for.
When I'm not working or creating content, you'll most likely find me traveling, planning my next adventure, or attending as many New Kids on the Block concerts as humanly possible. Music, memories, and experiences matter to me — and I believe beauty is part of that joy.
I'm married and incredibly proud of my blended family: a son, a daughter, a bonus daughter, and five wonderful grandchildren who keep my heart (and life) full.
I genuinely enjoy discovering new products and sharing my honest finds with others — especially for women who want real results without the hype. Recently, I also launched a Maternity Concierge business, blending my nursing background with personalized support for growing families — because care should feel informed, elevated, and compassionate.
This space is where nursing knowledge meets beauty, lifestyle, and a little wanderlust. I'm so glad you're here 🤍
Travel
When you take your granddaughter across the U.S. to meet your favorite childhood band… and you're so starstruck that Donnie literally has to take the picture because you cannot. move. 🫠😂💗
