Sometimes you can’t shower after a work out or run so these are products I use to cleanse and deodorize and freshen my face, body, and hair after a sweaty work out or run.

My daily drivers. From high end to cheapies. Crowd pleasers and scents that make me happy. I live in Southern California so these are mostly year round/warm weather perfumes.

Dry, dehydrated, sensitive skin edition of all my Korean beauty skincare favorites.

Budget finds I enjoy for running, Pilates and lagree. Lots of items to stock up on for prime day sales!

My favorite vitamins and supplements for everyday use. Things I take regularly for immunity, hydration/exercise, skincare, and dry eye.

I’ve been slowly transitioning a lot of my daily wear to natural fibers. These are a few of my favorites from the past couple years.

Sensitive skin but tough on active wear odor edition. Since starting my fitness journey I’ve had to rework my laundry routine to be even tougher on odors but still gentle for my sensitive skin and nose. I prefer unscented products most of the time.

My favorite everyday and seasonal scented candles to light up a space. These lean more fresh, floral, and/or cozy since I’m not a fan of anything too overwhelming, sweet, and gourmand.

My favorite products to keep skin feeling plump and hydrated in a dry climate. Lots of gentle, unscented, and sensitive skin friendly options that I use and repurchase regularly.
