Take a look at my favorite beauty recommendations! I always look for good ingredients and try to use hydrating products.

Now that I'm 56, I'm noticing fine lines and things I didn't have even five years ago. I've been on a quest to find the absolute best beauty products you can buy that work with maturing skin. From makeup that doesn't settle into lines, to serums that actually help, to hair care products that don't dry your graying hair, I have a list of my favorites for you to try. Since every person is unique, you should try the ones that make sense for you. Much of finding the best products is trial and error. Not everything lives up to the hype.

Skincare to close pores, stop breakouts, and brighten skin and my fav makeup 💝

With the products listed, I made sure to include the ones that helped and cured my acne and what I still use to clear my acne scars.

A curated list of my favorite perfumes to show off who I am to everyone I meet. I’m a big spicy, warm, amber scents as well as fruity florals, deep gourmands, and occasionally a good skin scent.

These are just a few of the beauty products I use daily to keep my skin glowy and hydrated. Each product plays a role in supporting my routine and helping my skin stay fresh, moisturized, and radiant throughout the day.

I love scent. It takes me to a memory or a place. Which is the most important factor in determining which one I wear.
