Fragrances and scents that have made a home in my collection <3I'm new to fragrance and perfumery, so I might not have all the technical language down, but I've really fallen in love with the mood change that a scent can bring and the way scent and memory are so often attached. Perfume has brought me both confidence and comfort, whether I'm out running errands, on the dance floor at a wedding, or reading on my couch; I'm pretty much always wearing perfume, at this point. Sharing my favorites here for anyone else who's just starting their fragrance journey and is looking for new scents to sniff, but I'm also always on the lookout for new recommendations!

Treating yourself with kindness and grace is maybe the most important thing you can do. It trickles down to everything in your life—your mood, your mental and physical health, the way you treat other people, etc. But being kind to yourself can be a lot harder than it sounds. It's a habit, one that takes effort to build, and that's where self-care comes in. Self-care starts with being selective about the products you use and how they make you feel. I personally like products that feel like they're improving/enhancing my natural skin and hair rather than covering up imperfections. Additionally, I love a full face of makeup for special occasions, but most days I'm only rocking my skincare and maybe some eyeliner. So this list will have a bit of everything that makes me feel gloriously, comfortably myself. I hope it helps you feel like you can fight the world and win!

My favorite Costco buys (food + drink focused) that typically make it into my cart at least once a month. These are the items that make eating healthy and still enjoying what I put into my body easier. Treats are included, because life isn't as bright without a little joy.
