Westman Atelier Illuminator Drops
I won’t lie. When I purchased these illuminator drops and picked it up in store at Sephora, I thought they gave me the wrong size. I thought they gave me a travel size. Nope, in fact they are a bit pricey for the size you get and I thought WTF. BUT then I realized a little goes a LONG LONG way. And I’ve since been using it daily mixed with my SPF (linked below). I like them better than the Drunk Elephant drops because those made me a little too BRONZI lol, which is probs why they named it that. It was just a tad too much for my pale skin. The Westman drops are luxe and a perfect bronze hue and I get complimented on my skin’s complexion pretty often when it’s simply just SPF and these drops. I’d call that a win. Someone even said, “Where have you been all sunny and tan?!” I’m like Sephora, girl.
K Beauty (korean skincare) SPF
Korean beauty is all over social media and for good reason. It’s typically inexpensive and when my esthetician carries these lines, I KNOW it’s proven skincare. I purchased two separate SPF’s from my esthetician at Sapien Skin (in South Lake Union for my Seattle girlies) and I am obsessed with both. But the one linked has been taking center stage every day with my illuminator drops and it keeps my skin so hydrated and protected. It’s not thick or sticky or white. It goes on like a hydrating moisturizer that I don’t even feel the need for a thick cream underneath it. I’ve seen a lot of other K-beauty products like cleansers that I haven’t dabbled into yet but I am really tempted to try and start incorporating them in with my medical grade products. Will keep you posted as I try more.
I typically only wash my hair once, maybe twice, a week and on those days later in the week when my hair is a little more greasy, I typically opt for a bun. I saw that Hailey Bieber’s team uses this stick (or something nearly identical) to slick back any stray away hairs and I can tell you it’s like glue. I am really trying to avoid all heat to get my hair in better shape so even when my hair is clean and I want to style my hair for a night out, I usually just slick it back into a clean girl bun with my glue stick. I am on a hair health journey and I am testing out a lot of different products right now to see what works best so I will share as I learn more but in the meantime, the slicked back bun it is.
I’m really on my skincare and beauty this month with favorites, aren’t I? Well, I use this snail serum, these eye patches, and figured it was time to purchase the sheet masks because of how much I LOVE this product. You guys, I don’t even know what is in this product besides snail secretion and niacinamide but I AM INTO IT. It’s so hydrating and clearly someone, somewhere has proven this point. I’ll put snail secretion all over my body at this point. Doesn’t freak me out. I always complete my medical grade skincare first because those are expensive but then I top it off with the serum, eye patches, and a sheet mask when I’m feeling really dry and I can tell you it makes a huge difference. IDK, snails for the win.

Clean Skin Club Towels
I’m late to the game here. I’ve seen these before and 100% wrote them off as unnecessary. I think Heather has even posted about them. Anyways, chatting with a friend about skin stuff and she is obsessed with them, so I finally added to my Amazon cart. I LOVE THEM! Not only am I drying my face with a clean towel every time, I use it to wipe up all the water and mess I make when I wash my face and toss. I also like using them to clean my makeup brushes and sponges and not ruining my towels with makeup.
ALO Yoga Mat
This mat is still on major sale (30% off) making it under $100 which is insane for such an high quality mat. I love the pink tie-dye so much I got the matching no-slip towel for hot yoga (also on sale). It’s thick and gives good support when doing yoga or stretching and easily rolls up after.
Organifi Gold Chocolate Mix
I’m very into evening sleep drinks. I love something sweet after dinner and I’ve been making a little hot chocolate drink once the girls are down and I’m ready to unwind and prep my body for sleep. This Organifi mix has all the right ingredients to help with relaxation and sleep with zero sugar. Win win. You can only buy through their website and it is $$$, so I’ll give you a great alternative. I’ve used Blume in the past for my night time drink and it’s also a great, lower cost option you can get on Amazon.
Nike Hot Pink Air Max
I’ve had my eye on these for a year and finally pulled the trigger. I love the color pink and obviously I needed hot pink sneakers to spice up my workout uniform. These are so fun as we head into the month of February and then spring and summer months. I wouldn’t run in these, but they make great shoes for errands, walks, etc.
