My Skin's Greatest Hits

items My Skin's Greatest Hits— biggest organ we've got, so it deserves more than "whatever's in the shower." Turning 58 this Friday, and my skin's still holding its own (moisturized, plump, and acting a bit younger than my actual age). Having had melanoma,...

Cream of the crop
Cream of the Crop (body creams & lotions) The lotions and creams that keep my skin hydrated, plump, and cared for from head to toe. Skin is our biggest organ — these are the products that actually earn a spot in my routine. 💪
Almond Milk Body Butter — the one that finally won. I've tried a lot of body butters for my drier skin, and this is the one that stuck. Thick, just like I like it, but it goes on smoothly and soaks right in without feeling greasy — leaving my skin soft with a light, clean scent. Whether I'm coaching c...
Almond Milk Body Butter
Epsom Salt Bath Bomb — post-workout recovery, made fun. I always recommend an Epsom salt bath to clients when their muscles are sore — so why not make it enjoyable with a bath bomb? This one's magnesium-rich with 50% Epsom salt, plus energizing peppermint, spearmint, and eucalyptus to wake up your senses...
Salt Water Soother
Super Milk Dusting Powder (Lush) — the quick-change essential. Trying to get into athletic clothes on damp skin after a shower never goes well — this fixes that fast, and it smells amazing while doing it. It's also my go-to when I'm heading straight from a workout into a meeting, absorbing sweat so I feel fresh,...
Super Milk
Hands Down, Feet Up
Hands and feet do a lot of the work and rarely get the credit. This list is dedicated to keeping them soft, cared for, and not forgotten in the skincare routine. 🙌
Dream Cream (Lush) — a hand-saver when the seasons shift. This can be used all over the body, but for me, it's a lifeline for my hands. When the Okanagan air dries out and my eczema starts flaring, I slather this on before bed and wake up with hands that are moisturized, calm, and ready — for coaching clien...
Dream Cream Self-preserving Body Lotion
Pink Peppermint Foot Lotion (Lush) — the soothing end to a busy day. Between my own workouts, coaching clients, and walking Maximus, my feet put in serious work — and this is how I take care of them. Cooling, soothing, and the perfect way to wind down after a shower. Foot care matters just as much as the shoes you wea...
Pink Peppermint
Ultrabalm (Lush) — the deep-moisture step my heels thank me for. Great for heels, elbows, or any irritated skin that needs some extra care. This gives ultra-moisture to help prevent hard, cracked skin before it starts. My routine: Pink Peppermint Foot Lotion first, then Ultrabalm once a week to keep my heels prev...
Ultrabalm
Face Value
Face Value — The Ordinary Edition. I use The Ordinary because I want products with simple, targeted ingredients that do one thing well — not a single product trying to do everything. That's just my preference for my face, and this line delivers exactly that. The price point is excelle...
Squalane Cleanser The "clean slate" step — and after a day of coaching, sweat, and outdoor walks with Maximus, my skin needs a proper reset. Gentle enough not to strip it, effective enough that I know it's actually working.
Squalane Cleanser - The Ordinary
This is where the magic starts happening. Between gym sweat and whatever the Okanagan elements throw at me on walks, a little exfoliation goes a long way for keeping skin smooth and supporting my aging-skin goals.
Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toning Solution - The Ordinary
The repair crew. This one works on minimizing and repairing visible skin damage, which matters a lot to me post-mole-removal scars — and after years of outdoor activity, my skin's earned some extra care here.
GF 15% Serum for Visible Skin Repair and Wrinkles - The Ordinary
Think of this as reinforcement for my skin's structure — firmness and resilience, especially important when my face is dealing with sun, wind, and everything in between. One job, done really well.
"Buffet" + Copper Peptides 1% - The Ordinary
Basically a big drink of water for my face — especially needed after sweating through a coaching session or getting windburned on a Maximus walk. Pure hydration, no complications.
Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 Hydrating Serum - The Ordinary
The finishing touch that ties it all together, locking in hydration no matter what the day (or the elements) put my skin through. The "mic drop" step of the routine.
Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA - The Ordinary
Mane Event
The hair products keeping my short, natural curls healthy, defined, and looking their best — because good curl days shouldn't be left to chance. 💇♀️
Love Ur Curl 3-Step System — the winner after trying it all. As someone with naturally curly hair, I've tested plenty of products, and this system is the one that stuck. A small amount goes a long way, giving me that bouncy curl I'm after without overloading my hair. The next-day curls hold up well too — just ...

Irish Sea Moss Gel — for the "soft and put-together" days. When I want tighter, softer curls, this is the move. Simple, effective, and gives my curls that polished, defined look. Tested and approved. 💪
Irish Sea Moss Gel
Volumizing Foam — for the "bouncy and a little sassy" days. This is what I reach for when I want looser, fuller curls with some attitude. Honestly, which one I use depends entirely on my mood — but this one always brings the volume. Tested and approv...
Volumizing Foam
Moisture Milk — for the "no time, still cute" curl days. This is my second or third-day save — a little moisture to bring my slept-on curls back to life without a full wash. Being a busy coach, I don't have time to fuss over my hair every morning, but I still want it to look good. Quick, effective, and cur...
