I obsessed with sunscreen. After trying all kinds of sunscreens—from affordable drugstore picks to high-end favorites—I’ve found a few that truly work for my combination skin (which can be breakout-prone at times). I prefer lightweight, water-based formulas that don’t feel greasy or clog pores, but still give strong SPF 50++ protection. These sunscreens not only sit well under makeup but also keep my skin feeling fresh and calm throughout the day. If you're looking for sunscreens that are gentle yet effective, this list is for you!

I chopped my hair in August ‘23 and have been on a journey to regrow it in the healthiest way possible. Not only is it the thickest my hair has been, I’ve also seen thinning areas around my temple regrow. A few months ago someone said “well Megan has thick hair” like that was obvious, and I’m still riding that high 👏
Every October I stare at my mantel, surrounded by cute ceramic ghosts and pumpkins, and realize the vibe is only visual — the scent never matches. If you're someone who goes hard on fall decor but your house still smells like last night's dinner, this is the fragrance and beauty lineup that finally made my whole living room feel like the cozy autumn scene I was going for.

Every December I do the same dance: panic-buying gifts the week before Christmas and swearing next year will be different. Spoiler — next year is never different. I'm a dentist, so my gift radar has one non-negotiable: nothing that quietly wrecks a smile (sticky caramel, I'm looking at you). This is the list I wish someone had handed me years ago — thoughtful, actually-gorgeous gifts for the women in my life: my girlfriend, my mum, my sister. All teeth-friendly, all shippable from Amazon in time for the tree. General guidance only, not a substitute for your own doctor or dentist — just one dentist's honest picks.

You know that moment when you catch your reflection mid-burpee and realize your mascara is halfway down your face, your skin is breaking out from clogged pores, and your dry shampoo gave up twenty minutes ago? I spent way too long buying products that claimed to be sweat-proof but melted off before my warm-up ended. This lineup is what actually stayed put, kept my skin clear, and made post-gym life way less gross. If you work out regularly and hate re-doing your entire routine after, start here.
