Skincare
Good skincare doesn’t have to be expensive or complicated. I focus on simple, well-formulated products with proven ingredients that support the skin barrier without unnecessary irritation. Many high-end skincare products are mass-produced and don’t a...
Hands down one of the best facial sunscreens I’ve tried. It absorbs fast, has a dry-touch finish, and doesn’t clog pores or leave a white cast. Ideal if you want strong SPF without feeling like you’re wearing sunscreen.
La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin SPF 60
Even though it’s a body wash, I use this on my face also and it’s amazing. It cleans well without irritation and never leaves my skin feeling tight or dry.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Foaming Wash
This is one of those no-frills moisturizers that just works. Lightweight, fast-absorbing, and suitable for face or body. Proof that simple ingredients often outperform expensive creams.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar Daily Repair Lotion
I love this very gentle, milky cleanser that’s perfect for dehydrated winter skin. It cleans effectively while helping maintain moisture, making it ideal for sensitive or easily irritated skin.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser
A well-formulated retinal serum that focuses on results without unnecessary irritation. Best for those easing into vitamin A and wanting gradual improvement in skin tone and texture.
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 3 Firming Night Serum
Uses retinaldehyde, a more effective form of vitamin A, in a mid-level strength. Best suited for those who have already built tolerance and want to level up their nighttime routine gradually.
Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 Firming Night Serum
A very gentle exfoliating powder that can be used regularly without being harsh. It helps smooth texture and brighten the skin while staying kind to the skin barrier when used properly.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Face Scrub
A true skin barrier hero. Perfect for lips overnight, irritated or compromised skin, and as a rescue cream when using retinol. Proof that simple, well-formulated products can replace multiple overpriced treatments.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 Healing Ointment
Fitness & Movement
Simple training tools I use to stay active at home. Nothing excessive- just reliable basics that support strength, movement, and consistency.
Great thickness and cushioning. My back feels supported and my joints are noticeably happier during workouts.
KEEP 32" Extra Wide 7mm Non-Slip Yoga Mat
I love these for low-impact workouts and even walks. They’re comfortable, adjustable, and add just enough resistance to make a difference without straining joints.
Gaiam Adjustable Wrist & Ankle Weights for Yoga & Fitness
Adjustable, space-saving weights that are actually CUTE. Easy to switch between weights and great for home workouts without clutter.
Adjustable Dumbbell Set 2, 4 in 1 Weights
Nutrition & Supplements
I keep supplements simple and purposeful. These are basics I use to support overall health and recovery, not quick fixes or trendy blends. Everyone’s needs are different, so it’s always best to consult your doctor or healthcare provider about any spe...
I use this as needed, not daily- usually half a packet mixed with water. Great for days with workouts, sweating, or when hydration feels off. Simple and effective without overdoing it.
LMNT Zero Sugar Electrolytes Raw Unflavored
I use this when I need a convenient protein boost, not every day. Great on busy days or after workouts when I don’t feel like making a full meal. Easy to digest and simple.
OWYN Pro Elite Protein Shake Variety Pack
I use this when I need a clean, simple protein option. Unflavored and easy to mix into smoothies or food without changing the taste. Great when I want protein without extra ingredients.
Isopure Zero Carb Whey Isolate Protein 3lbs
A straightforward multivitamin I’ve repurchased and use consistently. I like that it keeps things simple and easy to digest. As always, individual needs vary, check with your doctor about individual needs or deficiencies.
Ritual Multivitamin Women 18+ Vegan 60ct
Big enough to matter, light enough to carry, and the markings do their job in the background. I end up drinking more water without paying attention to it.
Giotto 32oz Leakproof BPA Free Water Bottle
Personal Care & Body Basics
Personal care and body basics that I use regularly and have chosen for practicality, comfort, and ease of maintenance.
Reliable, gentle, and easy to use. I wanted something that works without irritation and doesn’t require a learning curve. This does what it’s supposed to do and stays out of the way.
Panasonic Bikini Trimmer & Shaver ES-WV62-H
One of those habits that sticks because it actually makes a difference. Lives in my bathroom, travels with me, and makes regular floss feel… inadequate.
Waterpik Cordless Advanced 2.0 Water Flosser WP-580
