Welcome to my 12 Days of My Favorite Things. This is a curated collection of everything I became obsessed with this year. From the mom-life essentials that saved my sanity, to the skincare that literally gave me a glow even when I hadn’t slept since 2019, to the makeup, home finds, and little luxuries that made life feel just a little more put together. Each day of the giveaway, I’m sharing a new category of my ride-or-die favorites so you can browse, shop, steal ideas, or just be nosy (don't worry I am not judging). Think of this as your inside look at the products I actually use, love, and repurchase. This is not the stuff that collects dust on a shelf. Whether you're here for the beauty must-haves, the mom hacks, the home items that genuinely sparked joy, or just for the fun of the giveaways… you’re in the right place. Bookmark it, browse it, send it to a friend who needs gifting inspo, or treat yourself because you deserve nice things too. Let the 12 Days of Favorites begin. ✨

I basically have a PhD in skincare shopping (not official… but my Sephora and Target receipts would say otherwise 😉). My actual job is to research, market, and obsess over skincare products, so trust me when I say I know my way around both luxury serums and drugstore steals. Which also means I get hit up constantly by friends, family, and random people in my DMs for skincare advice. Consider this list my answer key. If you’ve been staring at the 8,000 products on the shelf and wondering, “Do I really need all of this?” the answer is no. You need five basics: cleanser, a Vitamin C serum, moisturizer, SPF, and a retinol. That’s it. Those are the Avengers of skincare. Everything else is just supporting cast (and yes, I’ll help you figure out who deserves a cameo in your routine). I’m going to break this all down for you, category by category, and then spill my ride-or-die recs—both drugstore and medical grade—so you know what’s worth the hype. Think of this as me dragging you out of the skincare aisle, gently prying that random 17th serum out of your hands, and handing you a foolproof routine that actually works. Ready? Let’s dive in.
