I'm no makeup genius or influencer, but these are things that I really like. I refuse to go to the nail salon every month for a manicure so I do it myself. I want my makeup to not break the bank but last all day in the heat of Disney World. These products do their job well without breaking the bank!
Body care that makes your skin smell yummy and feel soft, i used all these products!! Body scrubs, lotions, body washes, and even tools that you can use!
One thing we do not play about is our hair! I’m on the journey to having long healthy hair through length retention, hydration and moisture! These products are making all the difference for me!

I’ll be honest—self-care didn’t come naturally for me. For a long time, I thought it was optional… something I’d get to “if I had time OR the money.” But I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) that taking care of myself isn’t a luxury—it’s essential to not just living, but thriving. This list is full of little things that help me feel better, brighter, and more like myself AND they don't break the bank!!!. From cozy comforts to energy boosters, these self-care must-haves remind me that I deserve to feel good—and so do you. 💛✨ #SelfCareEssentials #YouDeserveTheBest #FeelGoodFavorites #ThrivingNotSurviving #SelfLoveInAction
In your 40s, skin naturally becomes thinner, drier, and more sensitive to sunlight. My skin doesn't like direct sun and heat because it irritates me a lot in the summer! Therefore, I made a list of SPF products with absolutely reasonable prices! Believe me, do not skip the daily sun protection even in the winter.
being an oily skin girly really made me cautious abt my sunscreen, to help a fellow oily skinned, these are all water-based, broad spectrum, and SPF 50+ so you’re getting 10/10 protection without looking like a frying pan by noon! ;>
I can’t leave the house without smelling good - in my experience and opinion these perfumes will absolutely get you the most compliments ever. (I don’t own all of these of my list but they are perfumes I have owned, have smelt on friends, or in store).
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by makeup or like you need 50 products to look good… you don’t.
This is a curated list of what you actually need—the staples that do the job, look good in real life and on camera, and won’t have you wasting money on trends that don’t stick.
Think: skin that looks like skin, products that multitask, and formulas that are easy to use whether you’re doing a 5-minute face or a full glam moment.
No duplicates, no unnecessary steps—just the essentials that earn their place in your routine.
Perfect for:
* Building your makeup bag from scratch
* Simplifying your current routine
* Getting that effortless, put-together look without doing the most
Because the goal isn’t more makeup… it’s better makeup. 💋

I struggle with redness, sensitivity, and acne, but these products have never failed me!
I gave my self the worst hair cut about a year ago and immediately started doing everything I could to help my hair grow longer FASTER. Obviously genetics play a huge role, but I changed a few things about my hair care routine that helped. I have oily roots and dry ends but my main goal was to not spend a fortune, so comparing high end vs drugstore ingredients to find dupes was a must. I also increased the frequency I was washing. Healthy & clean scalp will create a better environment for hair to grow. That means I also hardly EVER use dry shampoo. If my hair is dirty, it gets washed.
I love to do a hair mask and oil treatment once a week/two weeks. I will let it “marinate” for 6+ hours before washing.
Cold air, indoor heating and hot showers strip skin faster than anything in summer. This is sorted by what has actually gone wrong — flaking, cracking, redness or an eczema flare — so you can skip to your problem.

As an oily-skin girly who gets acne from time to time, these are the products that my skin really appreciates. If you’re a fellow oily-skin and acne-prone person, you really have to try these.
I put this list together after dealing with adult acne myself and spending a lot of time figuring out what actually helps (and what just irritates my skin). These are products I’ve tried, researched, or consistently come back to because they support clearer skin without being too harsh or stripping. The focus here is on keeping pores clear, calming inflammation, and maintaining a healthy skin barrier - since adult acne tends to need a more balanced approach. If you’re navigating breakouts alongside sensitivity, dryness, or post-acne marks, these are the products that have made a noticeable difference for me.
While in Seoul, I interviewed two dermatologists on what products they can't live without and want to share them with you. The Korean skincare we get recommended in the US is actually not as popular in Korea, so I was surprised with their recommendations. Hopefully this helps you glow up as much as it helped me :)

Is your silk press not silking like it’s supposed to? 🤨It’s because you’re not using the right products! The key for silk presses is lightweight moisture.

I’m a very minimalist girl! I don’t wear a full face of makeup ever, I love to smell good and I love a light makeup look. A basic mascara and blush will work for me!!
