Basic Info 01
I'm back! Trying this out again. A random list of things and products you should know about.
I decided to not put pressure on myself and just push this out the door— feel free to leave comments about products/advice on things you are looking for! (and tell me if you buy anything. Makes me happy :)
*me in my work elevator - old Cos sweater, Cos Jeans, old Mansur Gavriel boots and a necklace I’ll tell you about next time :)*
Borboleta Eyelash Serum:
The small but most notable upgrade of 2025—my eyelashes. I have never received more compliments in my life (random women AND men have noticed). I swear by two products: This was referred to me through my eyebrow girl, who has seen and tried almost all of them. I don’t have any irritation or eye-watering when I use this. Every night, right before bed, I swipe a coat on the top lashes. I started noticing a difference in about 1.5 months, so keep it consistent! Unlike Revitalash or Grandelash, this doesn’t make your lashes grow forward; they kind of grow with a slight curve, and I noticed MORE lashes. PS: I never received compliments before using this and never gave a thought to lashes.
Thrive Causemetics Mascara:
The other product: this is tubing mascara. This does not flake or spread. Not exactly sure how to explain why I love this so much, but I always get a very clean swipe, no clumping, lots of length, and it never smudges. I think it makes my lashes look extra full and feathery. Combine it with your new lashes (via Borboleta) and you will be shocked.
Chanel Stylo Ombre et Contour - Contour Clair
This pigment is kind of grey/brown and it very subtly enhances every single eye color. Day or night. So easy to use. Here’s one way I use it— Smudge it quickly along your top lashes (try to keep it close to the lash line). Take your finger and gently rub it out. Then, very lightly guide it along your lashes on the bottom— you don’t really want to see a dark line, but it will make your eyelashes look fuller! If you hardly wear makeup, another way to use it is to draw a little Triangle “>” on the outer brow bone of the eye and smudge it out/upwards to create a little more depth of the eye
Nike Vomero 5 - Silver and Pink
I’m a sneaker girl through and through. I’m a firm believer that you can’t have too many sneakers and that you should have FUN with your sneakers. Love these pink, white, and silver Vomeros from Nike. They are definitely ‘sporty,’ but you can dress them up (the silver!) I like these with a blue jean, white t-shirt, and a cable knit draped across your shoulders (good ones here & here) for an easy but trying-a-little look. You can also wear these to work out in (versatile!). An easy workout to run errands shoe that will inherently look better than a big, chunky running sneaker.
Quince Leather Handwoven Tote
Hate that I’m even sharing this bag because I own it and love it, but I’m not going to gatekeep. I spent about 4 months looking for the perfect black leather work bag that I could beat up— after a round of 4 returns, I landed on this Bottega Venetta-inspired handwoven leather bag from Quince. Super roomy (I can fit workout clothes and my laptop), but it isn’t bulky and sits very flat on the body. It feels buttery soft, looks very expensive, and the straps are long enough to keep it on your shoulder. Under $150! Madewell also has a great brown option. If you don’t care about fitting a laptop in your bag, I tried this one and loved it—it felt very “for a lady.” It will fit a Kindle ;) FINALLY, while we are on the topic of bags from Quince—this is a perfect bag for travel (dark brown).
Hume Deodorant in Amber Woods
Everyone’s always complaining about natural deodorant, but somehow this deodorant made it to my top product of 2024. Not only does this actually work, it literally smells SO good. I use it as a perfume (I rub it on my wrists, hah). I know people get freaked out by natural deodorants, but oh man, I promise you there is no detoxing or light coverage. I wore it to a workout and into a sauna and there was no “natural ramifications.” It’s formulated with prebiotics and probiotics that support the skin’s microbiome, preventing odor before it starts. That’s the complicated definition… Just buy it. It’s amazing. I get complimented on how I smell every time I wear it!
Glad to see you're back and thank you!!
