🤝🏻 HANDS are so often overlooked… carry this with you EVERYWHERE, girly! I apply generously and often so my hands are always smooth and put-together. Pro tip: makes you look good during business trips (make sure to shake hands firmly)!

Apply and let sit to the ends of your hair before taking your shower-- trust me! Suitable for all hair types, even super oily scalps like mine. My hair is a lot healthier after using, and makes a great evening wind-down routine as well.

🌻 Having a signature scent is hands-down the coolest thing a girl can do, ever. I really like the peppermint and floral ones. One or two spritzes a day is sufficient, and it's always long-lasting.

🌷One of my favs in KBeauty! Essenherb offers clean, non-artificial solutions. It's also collagen-infused, and I've noticed a big different in how plump my skin is already!

🌹 After all my skincare, I use this to massage my face before bed. Consistency is key-- notable lift and clearer jawline for me after several months. Super cute color, cool and refreshing.
