Basic Info 04
A random list of things and products you should know about.
Okay, well that took a little longer than I thought. 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 - Vintage Ralph Lauren Sweater, Vintage suede pants, Mansure Gavriel Boots
Dr Stolberg Rest and Digest Tea:
I will try anything that helps with digestion and bloating, but this is truly my desert island product. I’m addicted. One cup of tea before bed, and the next morning my puffiness and bloat is gone. I swear it works better than anything else I have ever tried (I’ve tried every single one…) I’ve been a fan for years, and I can safely say it gives comfort ASAP. It’s herbal and mellow in flavor.
Staud Mother of Pearl Timmy Bag:
Inherently, this newsletter is about consuming, but I’m trying to be more thoughtful with my wardrobe—stick with the basics in clothes and dress up/change the vibe with accessories. This bag is an excellent companion to a big event like a wedding, fancy night out, birthday, etc… A detachable strap allows you to carry it around as a clutch. Ugh, I love it with a super basic outfit!
Pacifica Spot Treatment:
Hands down my favorite pimple killer. It’s clear (no white cast, so you can wear it all day), I can feel a little bit of a burn, and my pimples alwayssss shrink within a few hours. I am battling adult cystic acne, and it’s awful. This is amazing on small whiteheads to larger, under-the-skin bumps. Last forever.
Reformation Jadey Cashmere Sweater:
Have not been able to take this sweater off for the past 4 days. I bought it my sister for Xmas—she ended up buying it in another color, and my mom ended up buying 2 for herself. I know people are particular about their shapes and sizes, but there is nothing better than a knock-around, loose, incredibly soft cashmere sweater. I have it in Compost, and this color looks great with black pants, jeans, khaki…everything. It’s a little expensive, but cost per wear evens out in about a week! I stayed true to size but it runs big —I think it looks best baggy.
Farah Homidi Concealer
If it seems I’m being hyperbolic, I promise you I’m not. This is my favorite product from 2025. It’s a bit pricey but worth every cent. This Farah Homidi compact makes me look flawless and dewy. It’s buildable coverage (meaning you can really control how much you put on). I have a ton of acne scars/pigmentation, and this stuff makes it seem like I just got laser. I can use my fingers and just tap tap tap it under my eyes or on a red spot. Blends soooo easily, and they will color match you online here (shade concierge). Also, you will know when you buy it, but it has an unbelievable feel in the palm.
Siete Chocolate Chip Cookie
I am THE BIGGEST snacker. I keep coming back to Siete’s chocolate chip cookies. These cookies are not for when you are craving a homemade cookie… They are, of course, a “healthy snack,” but they taste like the Famous Amos cookies you would have for an after-school snack. No bad crap in them, and they definitely cover any sweet tooth craving. I have been a massive fan of the Siete brand for the past few years. Trust me, I have tried their whole product suite, and these are tied for first as my favorite product they make. Obsessed with the chocolate chip. Hot tip…throw them in a glass of milk (or almond milk) and have decadent cookie milk. Just trust me on this one.
I have 2 of the reformation sweaters and they are great! You really can't tell by the photos but they are super soft but thick and very light weight. No sure how they did all of that in one sweater. I have 2 and LOVE LOVE them either alone or with a thin layer under.
I also got the concealer...I can't wait to try it!
So happy to get newsletter. Thanks
