The Sephora Sale is occurring from Oct. 31 through Nov. 10! I love to take advantage of the discounted prices to either stock up on my favorites or try new products! I have added items from my Skincare Hall of Fame, the Skincare Hall of Fame Contender list, and other products that I like using but aren't skincare related.

I am in the midst of planning my outfits for my honeymoon - we're going to Singapore and Bali! Specifically Ubud and Nusa Dua so PLEASE comment any must see places you recommend. I am trying to shop my closet as much as I can for this trip and also buying staples that I know I'll rewear after the trip.

Boston's Seaport neighborhood is ever changing and over the past few years I have been on countless coffee break walks, gone out for drinks and apps with coworkers before we head home for the night, and tried out some new lunch spots if we need a break from our usual Sweetgreen. While this list is a compilation of places I discovered as a result of working in Seaport, these are great for tourists or locals on the weekends as well!

As someone who remembers more about the decline of department stores than the days when department stores were at their peak - I didn't really shop at Bloomingdale's until a year ago when I went in to see if I would be interested in doing my wedding registry there. Not only was it my favorite wedding registry experience, but I saw so many brands there that I knew would keep me coming back post wedding. My best approach to Bloomingdale's is to look up brands you already shop and see if they have it.

These are products that I am currently using that I love and may be repurchasing or items that I have used in the past that I still think are great products and would recommend to people. For some of these products, the only reason why I did not repurchase but continue to recommend to people is that my skin leans on the more sensitive side so I may have needed to switch to a more gentle product. *I do try to point those out with a “*” to start the description.

~5 years ago, I started to take my skincare a lot more seriously. I started researching the products I buy to ensure it was actually supporting my skin goals and taking note of how my skin feels after application and if I felt like there are any results. These are my hall of famers! To make it into my Hall of Fame, I have to had repurchased it and continue to see myself repurchasing it in the future. For items that are buy once (like the eye masks or the pillowcase), these are items I am passionate about that I have given them as gifts or would replace in a heartbeat if needed. These are the items that I feel confident enough to not explore more products in that category for the near future since I’m so happy with it.
