My skin has opinions — and it loves to remind me via texture, enlarged pores, and that lovely unevenness that shows up just when I think I’m glowing. This is my personal toolkit of products that actually help smooth things out. From pore-blurring serums to exfoliants that don’t strip, these are the MVPs that keep my skin looking way more polished than it feels some days.

If you’re hunting for the perfect lip liner that glides on like a dream and instantly levels up your whole look, you’re in the right place. These are my absolute favorite lip liners — creamy, flattering, and guaranteed to have strangers doing a double take. Whether you love a bold, defined lip or a soft, blurred vibe, these picks deliver serious “who is she?” energy. Trust me, your makeup bag deserves these.

Don’t get me wrong, I do have my favorite higher end beauty products that I love to splurge on. HOWEVER, the classic brands like Maybelline and Revlon that you can find at Target and drugstores, as well as some newer brands like Elf and Lottie London have really been stepping it up this year! Here’s a list of my current favorite buys that help me achieve elevated makeup looks without totally breaking the bank!

These are my TOP, tried and true go tos' for a fair to light skinned girly who was just born to be tan! These will help you achieve the most natural looking tan you have ever had! Let me know what some of your favorites are if you don't see them here! :)

This is for all you lovely ladies in your 30s and up that love to take care of your skin and let that youthful glow shine through! These are my personal favorites by La Roche Posay, which in my humble opinion, is one of the BEST affordable skincare brands that makes high quality, effective products and they have a forever customer in me! ALL of their products are amazing, and safe for sensitive skin, have given me noticeable results in terms of anti-aging, and is priced at a decent price point. You can even get it at Target!

This list is for all of my girlies in search of the perfect nights sleep! All of my family + friends consider me an expert in building the coziest beds of all time, and I have spent years curating my lists of ALL of the best bedding available to build YOUR ideal bed that are my top picks so far in 2025!

These are the products I used to get started on my DIY nail journey! This is an everything you NEED list, I will do a much more detailed list with sections for EVERYTHING nails, but this will be enough to get you started with doing gel-x style nail extensions and gel manicures at home!
