Quality skincare and cosmetics I swear by. I won’t recommend any skincare or cosmetic I haven’t personally tried and loved. I create UGC content in exchange for free products and have gotten to sample many a beauty or personal care item. If they don’...

Kissable Lips and Juicy Pouts

I don’t wear a lot of makeup, but I always have something on my lips. Whether it’s a luxurious lip serum, a powerfully hydrating lip balm, or a colorful lip, one you won’t catch me with is dry, cracking lips.

Beautiful tinted lip balms that hydrate like no other. Luxe lip balm is the best, especially when applied after using their lip serum. I have the smoothest lips ever when using the serum and luxe lip balm in conjunction.

Waves and Curls: The hunt for long lasting volume and definition

My whole life my hair was treated like straight hair. News flash… it’s not. I have ringlets at the base of my neck and a mix of waves and curls all over the rest of my hair. Since 2024 I’ve been on a journey to find the most low effort curly routine....

This stuff is incredible for my hair. I apply it to soaking wet hair and gently scrunch to work it into the strands. Then I plop my hair with a cotton T-shirt for a few while I get dressed, followed by air drying. Effortless moisturize and soft, shin...

I use this in my hair and my sons. I have wavy/curly hair, and he got his dad’s ringlets. Use as a primary styling tool or to refresh limp curls for instant definition and bounce.

I really need to order more of this. This is a co-wash (conditioner wash) for curly hair. You massage it into your scalp and rinse like you would with shampoo, but it doesn’t strip your hair and leave curly hair dry and brittle and frizzed out. Inste...

Colorful Claws and Polished Paws

As a former nail biter (gross, I know) I’ve been obsessed with nail care since I chose to stop biting them in high school. I made a pact to myself that any time I’d catch myself wanting to chew on my nails I’d manicure them instead. Fast forward 17...

Frequently wearing darker nail polish, especially if applied without a base coat, can yellow your nails over time. Essie’s hard to resist neutralizer and brightener works like a toner for your nails. The purple hue neutralizes yellow tones like a pur...

Onyx is the only nail polish remover I use. It’s affordable, works great, and the coconut scented version is much more pleasant to use when soaking off gel manicures.

For the ultimate skin hydration and silky soft hands, L’Occitane shea butter hand cream is hard to beat. Luxuriously creamy and rich, a little bit goes a long way to soften and soothe your hands.

If you’re really good at painting your own nails, if you have a steady hand, and if you apply properly (wear gloves on working hand, apply barrier before applying product and DO NOT cure gel on skin) this set is great. Now, I’m no professional. Gel...

I wish I’d had this nail biting deterrent when I was breaking my own bad habit. My daughter started biting her nails at about 4.5 years old. She’s just shy of 6 and no longer bites them thanks to Orly No Bite. I’d previously tried another nail biti...

For perfectly manicured nails a glass cuticle pusher is hard to beat. Infinitely reusable etched glass gently buffs the nail plate and pushes back overgrown cuticles. Simply wash and let dry after use and it’s as good as new.

Scent Moods

Olfactory senses can alter your mood. Certain scents can help recall memories. Fragrance can make you feel uplifted, fresh, sultry, and mysterious. Bright citrus notes can make you feel happy or energized. Soft florals often feel feminine and class...

One of my absolute favorite fragrances. Juicy summer strawberry mingles with pink peony for a fruity, floral scent that’s perfect for warm days. Just a hint of sultry allure, this perfume oil isn’t overpowering. You won’t smell it from across the roo...

L’Or de J’adore is timeless. Bright, fruity, and floral notes are so perfectly balance in this fragrance. Orange blossom and jasmine notes stand out with warmer undertones coming through as it settles in. A classy, sophisticated scent. No need to a...

Skincare

Clean, fresh skin is my main priority. I don’t wear a ton of cosmetics. I focus on a good cleansing routine, hydration, and protection. Gentle cleansers that help preserve the skin’s natural barrier and don’t strip skin of precious moisture. Hydr...

I was skeptical about trying this. I’m a skeptic when it comes to most things that gain popularity on TikTok. I am SO glad I gave it a try. After cleansing, I pat my skin dry and apply a bit of peel shot to my t zone, focusing mostly around my nose...

Some things pass the test of time and stand up to generations of use. This is one of them. Vaseline is probably the ultimate beauty hack. Lips, hands and cuticles, heals, diaper rash… the uses for Vaseline are endless. It can even make perfume last...
