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

I love tarot decks, and I love switching them out for the seasons. I've organized them by tarot decks and the season I pull them out for, and oracle decks have the tarot deck I like pairing them with! You will see some are year-rounders for me, and some are not. Have fun exploring these decks, they are really special!

This is the routine I featured on my TikTok series “My Hair Journey”! You'll do a weekly routine “1x/week”. Then the rest of the days, you will do your “daily” routine. I recommend if you have fine/thin hair that you wash 2-3 times a week. Our scalps need to stay clean in order to promote hair growth. Dirty scalps can cause more shedding, AND your scalp doesn't have massive amounts of hair to soak up natural oils, and it can get greasy/weighed down quick.I've included tidbits with each product. If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment, I'm happy to help!

These are my favorite fragrances of all time! I choose based on mood or season mostly. I have separated them into affordable and luxury categories! The fragrance notes and pairings (if I pair it, I don't always) are listed in the notes!

These are places in the midwest that I would LOVE to camp and/or hike one day. If you find your way to the center of the country, hit up some of these beautiful places!

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!

I can’t believe 2025 is almost over! From the 10 Before the End TikTok trend! I put all of my books in one spot for you so they are easy to find! I encourage everyone to shop small on bookshop.org instead of Amazon, or use a library for free!! I am supporting a local bookstore called BookMarx!
