I’ve rounded up my top finds in this rich, chocolatey neutral so you can bring the trend into your wardrobe, home, and everyday routine. This list is a mix of luxe accessories, cozy style staples, pretty home accents, and even a few fun lifestyle picks — all in that timeless, grounding shade that goes with everything.

My Favorite Hikes Across the U.S. & Canada These are the trails I dream about — the ones with jaw-dropping views, glacier-fed lakes, golden arches, misty waterfalls, and a few “we totally earned that view” moments. Some are chill and peaceful, some will leave your legs sore (in the best way), but all are 100% worth the adventure. Before you lace up your boots and hit the trail, here’s my hiking PSA: 🥤 Bring water. More than you think. And toss in some electrolytes if it’s hot or hilly. 🍫 Snack like you mean it – I’m talking protein bars, trail mix, peanut butter packs, and something sweet (hello gummy bears). 🦟 Bug spray is your bestie — and if you’re hiking in bear country, yes, bring the bear spray too. 📚 Look up the trail & wildlife ahead of time – It’s fun to know what to expect, and safety first! ♻️ Pack it in, pack it out – ALWAYS. No granola bar wrappers left behind. Not even a banana peel. If you brought it with you, it goes back with you. 🫶 Respect the wild stuff – That means no feeding animals, no blasting music, and staying on the trail. Happy hiking, and may your views be clear and your snacks well-packed 🥾🍂

I love peeking into other people’s work bags, so here’s what’s actually in mine. These are my ride‑or‑die essentials that get me through work days and travel days without skipping a beat. From my laptop and noise‑canceling headphones to the little things that make my day easier — like a good hand cream, a portable charger, and my favorite water bottle — this list has everything I reach for daily. If you’ve ever wondered what you really need in a work bag (and what’s just extra weight), these are my tried‑and‑true picks that have earned their spot in my tote.

I’ve pulled together my favorite timeless, neutral pieces for Fall 2025 (and beyond) — the kind you’ll actually want to wear on repeat. Think cozy knits you’ll snuggle into, jackets that go with everything, denim that makes you feel amazing, and accessories that pull your whole look together. Every piece is from Amazon (because easy + fast shipping is a win 🙌) and chosen so you can mix and match without overthinking. One sweater works with three different bottoms, those boots go with everything, and that bag? Instant outfit upgrade. Inside you’ll find: oversized sweaters, layering tees, chic trench coats, cozy shackets, classic denim, tailored trousers, neutral sneakers, statement boots, timeless bags & must-have fall accessories

Perfume is so personal, but these are the ones I keep reaching for over and over again. They’re the scents that make people stop me to ask “what are you wearing?” and the ones I’ll happily repurchase when the bottle runs low. From fresh, everyday staples to warm, dreamy scents for nights out, this list has a little bit of everything I truly love — and actually wear. If you’re looking for perfumes that feel like you, but better… these are the ones I’d recommend to my best friend. 💕

I am fully aware that this can be an overwhelming process. There are so many products that are out there for consumers. From someone who started piling on products and regretting it. I decided to simplify and really only purchase what a majority of the dermatologists recommend. This is my step‑by‑step routine that keeps my skin feeling clean, protected and taken care of. Do as the dermatologists say - don't overspend on cleanser and moisturizer and save your money for actives! Remember - if you are spending money on skincare and NOT wearing SPF, you are wasting your money. SPF is the best anti-aging product! MORNING: 1. Tower28 Hypochlorus Acid (I don't wash my face in the AM because of my PM routine. 2. AM Active: Naturium Vitamin C 3. OPTIONAL: Rhode Glazing Milk 3. Illyoon Moisturizer 4. Colorscience SPF (most important step!) EVENING: 1. Prequel Pre-Gleanse Nourishing Oil Cleanser 2. Prequel Gleanser + SA Non-Drying Salicylic Acid Cleanser Serum 3. PM ACTIVE: Tretinoin (I also apply vaseline to my smile lines and around nose to prevent drying out) 4. Illyoon Moisturizer 5. OPTIONAL: SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Overnight mask
