My Favorite Clean and sustainable skin care products and brands to date. I stick to a super tight budget when it comes to beauty and skin care so most of these are super affordable. You don't need the high end trending brands to get the perfect skin! I buy 95% of my makeup and products from the drugstore! It is super important to me that my skin care is crulety free. I also use the app YUKA to scan my body products to know what I'm putting on and in my body.
Someone once told me I was “salty” so I decided to smell like it too. As a self proclaimed salt perfume expert, here is my list of my all-time favorite perfumes
with a salt note!
I have been on a kick recently (more so since covid) about wanting to get into cleaner skincare products. So, I hope this will help you if you are looking to do the same! (A lot of these things I scanned on Yuka!)
Everyone wants their partner to smell good, these fragrances will do just that! These are masculine smelling fragrances that you are sure to love. This list has some for every price range and every season!
For reference, my hair’s thick with a mix of straight and wavy textures — kind of that “combination hair” that does its own thing depending on the day. My roots lean a little oily but my ends get dry, so I’m always looking for products that smooth frizz, add shine, and keep everything balanced. These are my go-to hair care favorites for thick, wavy hair that actually feel lightweight but make a big difference in softness and manageability.
I’ve handpicked my favorite shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling tools that actually work. Whether you’re aiming for healthy hair, effortless waves, or just taming frizz, these are products I trust and regularly use.
This is the no-fuss, real-life makeup routine for moms who want to look fresh, polished, and put-together without spending forever in the mirror.

Everything here is easy to use, blends quickly, and makes you look like you actually slept — even when you didn’t.

I’ve also seen what things clients use and how that can affect their hair for the better or the worse. Here is a compiled list of hair accessories that I have found and really enjoy!
I’ve gone through trial and error with my skin care. I have sensitive, acne prone and dry skin. These products were game changers for me! I want to note, although I’m sure it’s obvious, I do not use all these products every day. I use whatever the day calls for and what my skin is feeling that day but I usually use 4-5 of these products per day ☺️
After years of trying to find clear makeup alternatives, I've finally curated a list of my favorite items for a healthier makeup routine. These products not only enhance natural beauty but prioritize clean and safe ingridients.
