These are the perfumes I've found while browsing and buying on Amazon and they all somehow work together to create the exact vibe I love. These are scents with soft florals, creamy vanilla, juicy fruits, airy warmth, and that effortless “you smell really good” energy. I’m super picky with fragrances because I still want them to feel feminine, cozy, and a little addictive without being too heavy or overpowering. These are the scents I keep reaching for when I want to smell soft, put-together, and just a tiny bit sexy.

My 13 year old daughter has great taste and knows what she likes. She seems pretty plugged into the young teen trends so I thought I'd share some of her favorites here since it can be SO hard to buy for them (if they aren't always telling you what they want like mine is), but I know it's hard for other family members to know what they like.
Fall is not the time to play it safe. Sephora just dropped a wave of brand new products and we’re honestly shook.

Skincare favorites that keep my combination skin happy ✨ I tend to get oily through my T-zone while other areas need more hydration, so I’m picky about what makes the cut. I'm always shopping on Amazon based on best reviews, at the drug stores or discount shops. These are the cleansers, serums, moisturizers, SPF, and treatments I genuinely enjoy using, have used already and have liked them and or are currently using and keep coming back to. I don't believe to have sensitive skin, so as a disclaimer, some products may be too strong for some, so it is always recommended to introduce new products slowly if you are unsure if your skin will work with it :)
My skin is sensitive and dry. I live in the desert. So I need moisture + sensitive skin friendly products. My skin is reversing in age! Since changing my routine, I get compliments on my skin ALL THE TIME. People ask if I’m wearing makeup and I AM NOT! I cannot stress enough how important it is to invest in your self care. It is the bare minimum! Let me know if you use any of these OR if I should make a budget friendly list!

Took me a year of trial and error so you can skip straight to what works.

My favorite haircare products for thin to thick, wavy 2B to curly 3C hair. These help with frizz control, curl definition, hydration, softness, shine, and damaged hair repair. Also products that help with my dry, itchy scalp.
Spent years layering serums, toners, essences, and actives like a chemistry experiment. My skin was red, irritated, and somehow still breaking out. Turns out less really is more, but only if you pick the right less. This is for anyone drowning in half-empty bottles who suspects their routine is the problem. Took me two frustrating years of scaling back to land on what actually works.
I'm a big fan of low damage products when it comes to my hair. Any kind of heatless products for styling are my fave! Same with colour depositing masks, nothing with any nasties in it!

As an acne prone girlie, I am well versed in skin barrier wreckage. I have enlarged pores, rosacea, acne, pitting, scaring, hyperpigmentation, and dark under eyes. It SUCKS not having perfect, flawless skin! I love having a good skincare routine, and I'm a huge skincare/beauty lover, so I like to try a lot of products. But sometimes I wreck my skin barrier, and I think I've passed the point of no return. The worst thing is to have an acne flare up, or just a wrecked barrier. It's a huge struggle for so many people, and personally, I know it destroys my confidence. Makeup can only cover up so much, but to get to the root of the problem you have to take care of your skin! I had an allergic reaction a few months ago that I thought I'd never recover from, but thankfully skincare saved me! These are my favorite skin barrier repairing products! Most of these are meant for barrier repair, but I'm also going to include products that I used that helped me repair mine, even if they're not designed that way. This list is broken up by product category, but I think these products can be mixed and matched to whatever your skincare concern may be! Under the caption for the product, I will include the ingredients that make it a barrier repairing product. If you're struggling with your skin, you're not alone! If you don't know where to start, let this be your first step! Please feel free to ask questions, and checkout my TikTok - you'll see how my skin looked before and after using these products, my favorite routines, and so much more!

I have been on a journey of doing my own nails for the last few months and it’s been SO FUN. I’ve strictly been using DND gel because that’s the only gel I’ve found so far that actually works on my nails, but I will be sharing regular paint colors as well that I’ve loved in the past for fall!
All recs UNDER 10$ !!! For nights out, long lasting looks. I stand by ELF products and drugstore ones in general. Because of how affordable and how they perform these days. These are my must haves for polished and killer looks without breaking your bank account. They are all mostly ELF, maybelline and l'Oreal products.
Beauty boosts self-esteem and confidence, allowing individuals to express themselves and feel good about their appearance. Me personally, I’m an eyes and lip make up beauty. I do not use foundation or any other makeup that covers your whole face. My focus is my eye lashes and lips.
my favorite favorite body products! shower routine and beyond- Great if you have dry skin or just want amazing smelling products that deliver!! I love gourmand and vanilla scents, so I am always looking for new lotions, sprays, scrubs and washes to try! I also included my products I love to use for self tanning. I have pale, dry skin with patches of KP and ever since using this routine my skin IS so soft! The most important step in my opinion is always always using lotion on damp skin right out of the shower!
Sometimes looking pretty doesn’t include “pretty” products. These are my non-makeup suggestions for keeping myself feeling like myself while navigating being a working mom!
Vanilla if my favourite scent, taste, and overall vibe so I think you’ll find something interesting whether your a warm vanilla, spicy vanilla, or sweet vanilla.

If you've squeezed, stripped, and scrubbed your nose raw trying to clear blackheads and they just keep coming back, I was right there with you for years. This list is for anyone with oily or combination skin who's scared oil cleansing will make things worse. Spoiler: it didn't. It took me six months of trial and error to land on this exact routine, so you can skip straight to what works.
My hair care for all things wavy/curly hair. I do diffuse my hair on occasion but I mostly let it air dry. I can't recommend these specific beachwaver and other products enough. These have brought my curls back after heat damage.
Peri menopause and menopause can dramatically affect your hair. It becomes less dense with more fallout and the natural aging process means more grey - which in turn means coarser, frizzier texture. I focus on hydrating products as well as scalp treatments to keep mine in the best condition. I'm about 70% grey now so I need to work that little bit harder to happily embrace it. These products really worked for me ♥️
