My ultimate list of hair care products. After turning 40, my hair has got so weird so I'm on a mission to curate a collection of the most amazing essentials and build the perfect routine. I have always had fine yet very very thick hair that would get so oily and my scalp has major issues I think from gluten and dairy allergies and it will literally peel off itself. Recently my hair has got more dry and brittle and so dull its honestly unbelievable!

These are all of the skin care products I love and most likely have a subscription for so I never run out. And now a story about why I have multiple snail mucin products on this list. Once upon a time I worked for a cosmeceutical company (these are the types products usually sold at a med spa or dermatologist office) as a marketing assistant. While I only worked there a short time, I got to learn a lot about snail mucin which was the active ingredient on their crown jewel product. This product worked so well and had great clinical trial result. Years later when I started seeing K beauty brands popping up and they they had snail mucin product I knew I had to try them. Guess what, they are just as good, if not better, than the one that company sold for over $100. Granted, I was in my early 20s when I worked there and had the skin of a baby already, but still I could see a more glowing and even skin tone when I used them. The moral of the story is quality effective products don't have to cost a lot.

I struggled with strawberry legs throughout my teen years and spent sooo much time figuring out what actually worked for my skin. After trying different products and changing the way I shave, I finally found a routine that keeps my legs looking smooth, even and basically dot-free. 👏🏽✨ Strawberry legs can happen when things like dead skin, oil and buildup collect around the hair follicles, and shaving with a dull razor can make irritation and ingrowns even worse. For me, the biggest difference came from cleansing, exfoliating, shaving properly and moisturizing consistently. Sooo I put everything I use into one list! These are my personal recs for my full shower + shaving routine — from the soaps and exfoliators I use before shaving to my shave essentials and the lotions/body butters I use afterward. 🫧🪒🧴 IMPORTANT: Pleaseee use a fresh, sharp razor!! 😭 I know constantly replacing blades can get expensive, but I noticed such a difference once I stopped trying to stretch dull razors for too long. Obviously everyone's skin is different, so you definitely don't need every single product on this list. These are just the products + steps that have worked for me and helped keep my legs super smooth. 🤎

I am a makeup LOVER and have spent years doing makeup. As a performer I know my more full coverage makeup but I like a more natural look for my day to day. Something that shows off my freckles and doesn’t feel like I have anything on the skin, I just look a bit more glowy! Check out these recs!

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 keep coming back to these K-beauty staples whenever a bottle runs low, because they make my routine feel calm, hydrated, and easy to repeat. Inside: gentle cleansers and exfoliants, hydrating essences and serums, moisturizers and sun care, plus lip and eye care for a soft, comfortable finish.

a little roundup of the sweetest products that actually smell like strawberries. body scrubs, lotions, perfumes, etc…

If smelling like a warm vanilla cupcake fresh out of the oven is your end goal… you’re in the right place 🤍🍰 I’ve loved vanilla scents for as long as I can remember, and over the years I’ve tried a lot of them, from sweet and sugary to creamy, cozy, and more mature. This list is a curated collection of my favorite perfumes, body lotions, sprays and shower gel products that I actually use and reach for, not just things that smell good once and sit on a shelf. As a dry skin girlie (especially in the winter), scent longevity matters to me just as much as hydration. A good vanilla routine isn’t just about perfume, rather it’s about layering: starting in the shower, locking in moisture with lotions and oils, and finishing with fragrance so the scent lasts all day and actually smells rich, not artificial. Everything on this list gives that soft, sweet, comforting vanilla cupcake vibe, think warm sugar, freshly baked sugar cookies and creamy vanilla without being overpowering.
