Sharing my current skincare routine for those of us edging ever-closer to 40. My current regimen has been refined over years of trial and error, changes to my skin, and trying to address the many missteps made back in my 20s. I now focus on hydration, effectiveness, and gentle but potent care. You'll notice most of the products mentioned are from Korea. There is a reason for that - skincare products from Korea seem to be more innovative (hello snail mucin!) while focused on prevention instead of just correction. The prices of Korean products are typicallay more cost effective than that of Western brands, too. One caveat - beware of dupes!!!

my personal fav drugstore products that are just as good as more expensive! I use these every day and swear by them!

Perfume has become one of my favorite ways to express personality, create memories, and set a mood. While I'm open to almost any fragrance if it smells good, I've found myself especially drawn to darker, smokier scents lately. There's something about those warm, woodsy notes that reminds me of autumn and instantly makes me feel cozy, grounded, and safe. For years, By the Fireplace by Maison Margiela Replica has been one of my absolute favorites, but recently I've started exploring more niche fragrance houses and discovering just how many incredible scents are out there. These are the perfumes that have captured my attention, earned a place in my collection, and continue to inspire my ongoing fragrance obsession.

I’ve tried so many different skincare products in the past that never worked for me. I recently started using Korean Skincare products and I’ve noticed a tremendous improvement in my skin! Here are some products that I’ve tried and my very honest reviews on each of them.

When I was younger and had all the time to get ready, I would spend hundreds of $$ to cake up my face 🤣 Now, I still have the time, but I'd much rather spend it in other ways such as scrolling on social media or playing my phone games 🤦‍♀️ I'm not sure about you, but during the pandemic, I took full advantage of wearing a mask at work (health care). I didn't have to wake up early to do my face. So, I made it a point to start taking better care of my skin. Since then, I don't think I've purchased any high end make up brands. I don't wear foundation or concealer anymore. If I have to wear makeup, I wear a drug store powder, blush, mascara, and eyeliner. I have combo skin with an oily t-zone, and I do get pimples monthly 😒. I hope you find my recommendations helpful. Remember, what works for me may not work for you.
