Hi, I’m Kate — Esthetician, newish photographer, vintage lover, and the heart behind Teresa Rose Authentic Living.
I’ve always felt a deep pull toward beauty—not the superficial kind, but the kind that shows up in chipped paint on old wood, the warmth of a home-cooked meal, a quiet trail walk with someone you love, or a handwritten note tucked in a box of treasures.
I created this space because I was craving a slower, more meaningful way to live and work. A place where I could blend:
- 20+ years in the beauty industry
- My love of vintage items and soulful spaces
- A longing for connection, purpose, and peace
This isn’t a perfectly polished lifestyle brand—it’s a real one. Some days are about healing your skin and your spirit. Others are about cleaning out the junk drawer or rearranging thrifted finds to make a space feel like you. It’s all part of the journey.
Here, I share the things that make life feel richer:
- Creative projects that calm the mind
- Small-town adventures (often with my dad by my side)
- Wellness habits that actually feel good
- Stories, photos, and handmade pieces that come from the heart
If you’re someone who finds joy in the little things… someone who wants to live intentionally, even if imperfectly… then you’re in the right place.
Let’s build a life that feels beautiful, grounded, and real.
Welcome.
— Kate
