And I recommend seeing a derm or esthetician if you’re unsure what your skin needs! Also- I LOVE SPF! #1 anti aging product!

Rooney was my soul dog. We shared over a decade of love, laughter, and quiet moments that made every day brighter. He crossed the rainbow bridge on Saturday October 11th, and while my heart aches, I wanted to create this list for anyone going through the same kind of loss. These are gentle comforts, memorial keepsakes, and small things that can bring even a little bit of peace while you heal. Sending love to every heart missing their best friend 🐾💛
