🍂 From trick-or-treating at the zoo to riding trains through peak fall colors, Cleveland is packed with cozy, spooky, and family-friendly fun this October. I pulled together my favorite insider picks across the West Side, East Side, South Side, and Downtown—with prices, pro tips, and exactly what to expect so you can make the most of fall in Northeast Ohio.

Skincare doesn’t have to be expensive to actually work. This list is packed with the best affordable skincare under $20 at Ulta — cleansers, toners, serums, moisturizers, oils, masks, and SPF that dermatologists love and TikTok can’t stop talking about. These are the everyday products I’d recommend to my best friend: some target acne, some hydrate like crazy, some give you that overnight glow. The best part? Every single one is budget-friendly and beginner-friendly, so you can build a routine that makes your skin look healthy and radiant without maxing out your card.

Welcome to Christian Girl Autumn! My cozy fall edit of everything I actually reach for this season. Think chunky knits, pumpkin spice candles, modest church fits, journaling Bibles, and a little glow-up beauty. This isn’t a “use it all at once” list! It’s more like a menu of the things I grab depending on the day: some lean practical & faith-centered, some lean fun & cozy, all of them fit that warm, pumpkin-patch, Sunday-best vibe. If you’ve ever searched fall outfit inspo, Christian girl aesthetic, cozy self-care nights, or faithful autumn routines, this is literally that — in shoppable form.

Think of this as my little shelf of go-tos for when my skin needs something extra. These are not “use them all at once” products — they’re different masks, serums, oils, overnight treatments, and skincare sets that I reach for depending on what my face is craving. Some of them lean more clinical — like niacinamide, retinol oils, or resurfacing serums that really do the work when it comes to fine lines, breakouts, or uneven texture. Others lean more fun, like hydrating sleep masks, brightening creams, and self-care sets that make your nighttime routine feel cozy and pampering while still giving you results. Whether your vibe tonight is a medicinal, no-nonsense fix or a fun, spa-at-home ritual, this list has something that will make you wake up feeling fresh, balanced, and glowy. Perfect if you’re building a self-care night routine, upgrading your glow-up skincare essentials, or just looking for tried-and-true overnight beauty products that actually deliver.

Yes… I’m talking about autumn. If you’re anything like me, fall is when I feel my most romantic and my most feminine.

I’m a self-proclaimed perfume aficionado and I’m completely obsessed with smelling good. What I’m not obsessed with? Dropping $150 on a single bottle of perfume or spraying chemicals on my skin that big brands don’t even try to hide. As women, we already juggle so much — the last thing we need is overpriced fragrance filled with harsh ingredients. We deserve to smell amazing at an affordable price and with formulas that are way better for our bodies. That’s why I’ve fallen in love with Dossier. These perfumes are inspired by designer favorites, but they’re clean, accessible, and honestly? A lot of them last longer and smell better than the originals. I’ve been a loyal Dossier girl for years, and I’ve tested a lot — so here are the ones I keep going back to. The best scents. The best value. The ones I think are actually worth your money.

As someone who deals with hormonal issues, I’ve learned how much our everyday makeup choices can affect our health. So many commercial products contain ingredients that act as endocrine disruptors, and for women especially, that matters. Over the last few years, I’ve been on a journey to switch over to cleaner, non-toxic makeup. It hasn’t always been easy. I’m used to a certain level of performance and payoff, and honestly, a lot of clean products just didn’t cut it for me. But the ones on this list? They’ve earned their spot. These are the products that made me realize I don’t have to sacrifice quality for peace of mind. I hope this list helps you find something that works for you too. These products have been such a big part of my own low-tox living journey, and I really think they’re worth trying.

Discover my ultimate makeup favorites—tried, tested, and totally worth the hype. From skin-like foundations to creaseless concealers, contour that blends like a dream, and a setting powder that won’t kill your glow—this list has all my go-to beauty staples for everyday wear. Perfect for fair skin, rosacea-friendly picks, and anyone who loves makeup that just works. 💄✨
