After one brutal sunburn and a breakout that lasted all of June, I stripped my routine down to what actually works for warm weather. This is for anyone who wants to look good poolside without treating their bathroom like a science lab. Took me two summers of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

My hope is to help you find a new staple in your makeup kit!

I got into Korean skincare this year. Prior to that, I've heard alot of good reviews about their products but I was scared at first coz I felt it won't be compatible with my skin.

This is my personal collection that suits me

With Tiktok being our leading source of information, after Google of course. I have come to the realization that I suffer from low porosity hair. What is low porosity hair, you may ask? It is when your hair takes an eternity and longer to get wet and soaked. I always suffered from it, but i just never cared to think more about it. I would always sit in the shower and soak my hair with water but each and everytime I would go and apply my shampoo some part would STILL very much be dry!! SOO, in short low porosity hair is when you hair has a hard time absorbing water for it to attain its ultimate wetness to begin shampooing.

As I've grown beyond my 50s, my skin needs have changed immensely. So, the products that used to work are no longer benefiting my mature skin.

Great grooming is a quiet confidence move, and the right products genuinely change how a man looks and feels every morning.

Glow on a budget ✨ My real, everyday routine, no gatekeeping. Step 1: a gentle hydrating cleanser that washes the day off without stripping my skin. Step 2: a rich, soft cream that keeps me moisturized from morning to night. Step 3: a lightweight SPF 50+, because sunscreen is the real secret to healthy skin. Three steps, five minutes, happy skin.
My mom has always said “Christmas isn’t about what you need, it’s about what you want” (a joke sort of, but it was our one time of year to go buck wild with requests) and followed with “and remember it never hurts to ask”… These are just some of the things that have been top of mind lately, so I curated this list and am just going to forward it right on over 🤗 (hi mom!). And before your heart drops through your butt in this economy, I give her a big list so she can pick and choose easily from a few 💘💘

Our nails deserve lots of love and we can show it love by making it a canvas for art <3 I hope you find at least one product in this list that can inspire you to take care of your lovely little nails :0
I must admit cleansing is my favourite part of my skincare routine. There is just something so relaxing about cleansing away all your makeup at the end of the day ☺️ I have a combination skin so I tend to go for more gel cleansers but I do love a good creamy one or a cleansing balm if I have heavier makeup! 🙌
All things to do with perfumes, lotions and potions to smell AMAZING. All things I have personally used! Good luck on your journey to your signature scent! 💎🥥
