This is for my 30-something's who are like me: sensitive skin, prone to fungal acne and perioral dermatitis, and are on a budget. You will notice there is a mix of affordable and pricier items. I have found I can use a cheaper cleanser and moisturizer, but when I added in a few luxury items, it really took my skin to the next level. Bottom line is, save where you can, splurge when you can. If you have a minimal budget I would recommend at minimum the cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen!

These are products I love for my thinning, fine hair. They keep it healthy while I re-grow.

As someone who doesn’t do a full beat, like ever, these are my easy makeup favorites! All of these have been safe for my very sensitive skin (fungal acne and perioral dermatitis prone). This list has products that are easy to apply and many of them are multi-purpose which definitely helps with budget. I included two eye products for the very few times I feel like getting fancy (weddings, etc.).

These books are the ones that will stick with you forever. You will be challenged, you may have to look up some terminology, but you will grow and evolve into a smarter, better human.

These are places in the United States that I would LOVE to camp and/or hike one day. Mostly these are located in the Midwest where I am, but some venture further out to the coasts. If you find your way to the center of the country, hit up some of these beautiful places!
