Mindful Skin Rituals
The non-negotiable step to feeling grounded. These are the simple, effective products I use for a fresh start. It's the small, consistent routine for me that says, 'I've got this.'
The only teeth whitening strips I will use. Natural, safe - made with coconut oil. Whitens teeth without causing sensitivity issues.
Coconut Oil Teeth Whitening Strips
I looooooove this mouthwash. Safe to use morning and night without making my teeth sensitive! Whitens immediately! (and we all know how much I love my coffee - but coffee equals stains) This mouthwash takes care of stains and prevents new ones from occuring.
Whitening Mouthwash
A tad pricey… yes. Totally worth it… yes! Whitens teeth, tastes great, prevents cavities. My dentist says she's never seen my teeth healthier since starting this toothpaste.
Whitening Fluoride Toothpaste
What can I say - I like a manual toothbrush. These are the best - keep teeth feeling clean all day.
Oral-B Pro Health Toothbrushes
Gentle to use daily - removes dirt, oil and makeup without irritation.
Cetaphil Oil Control Foaming Face Wash
To dermaplane or not to dermaplane… that is always the question. Well, guess what? I dermaplane and these have been the best I've found to date. Comes in different sizes and lasts for multiple uses.
Dermaplaning Tool
My very favorite smoothing and firming cream. I use it on my neck and chin area to keep skin firm. This goes on smooth and is not greasy at all!
Naturium Multi-Peptide Advanced Serum
I have extremely sensitive skin and this face wash has been amazing!!! It is gentle enough to use daily but also tough enough to remove impurities and makeup at the end of the day. Doesn't leave skin oily or dried out.

Microfiber Body Wash Mitts
Basic? Maybe. Perfect for all skin types? Yes! I have loved this body wash for years. It is a staple in my shower routine. I love the scent - it's perfect without being overpowering. Keeps my skin soft and doesn't dry like other body washes.
Olay Body Wash for Women
It's an Allure winner for a reason. This body lotion not only smells amazing but it keeps my skin super soft. And the scent lasts literally all day
eos Shea Better Body Lotion Vanilla Cashmere
I've tried other shave oils and nothing compares to Tree Hut shave oil. It is thin but covers a lot of area. Prevents knicks and cuts and leaves my skin so soft.
Tree Hut Vanilla Moisturizing Shave Oil
I love this body scrub. I mainly use it on my feet to keep rough heels from showing up. Removes dead skin and leaves it super soft. A little bit goes a long way which is perfect to make this last for a long time!
Tree Hut Vanilla Shea Sugar Body Scrub
By far my favorite hair and body mist. Doesn't make hair greasy. Smells absolutely amazing and the scent stays with you all day long.
OUAI Hair and Body Mist
My daughter and I both use this brand for the perfect manicure. I love that they have a sensitive skin line which is perfect for those with skin issues who still want on spot manicures!

Biolage Scalp Sync Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
I love this dry shampoo for the days I just don't feel like washing in the shower. Absorbs oil and keeps hair fresh in between washes.
amika talc-free dry shampoo
I love this oil so much. Leaves my hair so soft, protects my ends from damage. Doesn't weigh hair down - doesn't leave it greasy. Light scent is perfect - not overpowering.

Best concealer I've ever used. Lightweight and perfect coverage for under eyes or for blemishes and red spots. Doesn't look caked-on.
