It’s my birthday today! I’m 37, which I think puts me officially into “old” territory. But things I’ve found about being in my 30’s: • I’ve never been more confident in how I feel and look. Maybe it’s finally accepting my body as it is, or maybe it’s just caring less overall what people think of my appearance. • Which is part of the next point, giving so SO many less fucks. I’m totally comfortable with who I am, what I like, and what I want. I’m going to do them and enjoy the hell out of them. • I have learned to embrace the fact that I want to be in pajamas by 6:00 and settled with a book. I still like going out to do things but to be perfectly honest, that’s my ideal night. So I’m off to eat cake and watch Game of Thrones. My goal is to rewatch all 6 seasons before the final season starts in April. . . . . *items in photo Pr gifted @bijoucandles @corsonbeauty @drunkelephant @elemis @purito_official @savorbeauty @drroebucks @palermobody

Last weekend I rearranged my mantle in order to put out some Christmas decorations and had to find space for all the plants that are normally there. Instead of shoving them in various windows I decided to create a little jungle on a mirrored tray from @potterybarn. I’m loving this little corner and may keep it once I put away the holiday stuff. If any brand deserved it’s own personal jungle it’s @naturabrasil.us. Natura is committed to sustainable practices and preserving the Amazon rainforest, where it sources many of its ingredients. Working directly with communities and the families that provide their ingredients, this Brazilian company does a lot to give back in addition to conservation efforts. I’ve been working with Natura for most of the year and have found so many amazing products, some of which I can no longer live without. Their body care is what really stands out to me, I’ve spoken at length about the triple phase shower oil, that stuff is pure magic. This last month I received a few products I’ve used and loved before, one of which is another “can’t live without.” • Castanha concentrated oil* is a highly concentrated oil that can be used on its own or mixed with other lotions. With It faint nutty fragrance it mixes well with most lotions, and makes a wonderful cuticle oil, or used on split ends. This is my second bottle of it, the first lasted for around 4 months. I used a few drops mixed with one of the Natura body lotions to keep my hands well moisturized over night. • Açaí body scrub* is a creamy scrub that gives a gentle exfoliation. In prefer a more gentle scrub because I can use it more often without feeling like I’m over exfoliating. This has a fresh and sweet scent that washes away and doesn’t linger. This doesn’t leave a greasy layer on your skin, but you do feel lightly moisturized with soft skin. • Castanha body lotion* has that nutty fragrance I love with the concentrated oil, and I find it to be light enough that I can slather this all over without overwhelming me with scent. The texture is light and milky, absorbing quickly with zero greasiness. The bottle is huge and will last me forever. . . . *pr gifted by @chokchoksocial

Wishing you a dreamy night filled with lots of love. I hope the world is treating you well and you’re happy 🖤. . . . . . . #itgtopshelfie #intothegloss #byrdiebeauty #skincarelover #vanities #skincarediary #kbeauty #indieskincare #skincarecollection #skincareluxury #skincarejunkie #luxurybeauty #lauramercier #drunkelephant #summerfridays #tatcha #elemis #glossier #caudalie

#texturetuesday with the stunning Adaptogen Deep moisture cream from @youthtothepeople. . This well-loved cream is chock-full of amazing ingredients designed to nourish and deeply moisturize. This contains their proprietary Adaptogen blend containing Ashwagandha, rhodiola, Reishi mushrooms, and holy basil. The texture is rich but leaves no heaviness on the skin. I feel this could be used either in a morning or an evening routine, depending on your own skins needs. I haven’t had the chance to try the cream yet, but it’s so beautiful how could I not show of off? . . . *YttP gifted by company

I had a day at home and took some extra time to mask. My skin is *almost* back to normal so I’m trying to give it that extra bit of pore care and hydration. I have some lingering redness and a smattering of a breakout, so I double masked with the @drroebucks Uluru purifying mask* to clear out my pores a bit, and the @wishingurbeauty advanced firming dried mask. If you check my stories you can see it on, and all the gunk it pulled out of my pores. This mask works a bit like hydrocolloid acne patches in that it draws out fluid from pimples and blackheads. I left this on for an hour until it was completely dried to my face, and then rehydrated it so I could see all the fluid it pulled out. Gross but satisfying. This mornings routine in order: • Dr Roebuck’s Uluru purifying mask* • @drunkelephant Beste no. 9 jelly cleanser* • @dulce_earth orange vanilla lip scrub* • Wishing U advanced firming dried bio cellulose mask. • @belifusa Aqua bomb mist. • @107oneoseven rose vinegar water* • Dr Roebuck’s Bondi mist* • Drunk Elephant C-Firma day serum* • Dr Roebuck’s Tassie anti-pollution serum* • @pestleandmortarcosmetics hyaluronic serum* • @jullai_official Super 12 bounce oil essence* • @maapilim lip balm* • Dr Roebuck’s Down Under collagen eye cream* • @youthtothepeople Superberry hydrate and glow oil* • Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream* • @purito_official centella green level safe sun cream* (not pictured) . . . . *pr gifted

Perfect little stocking stuffers with @drroebucks. . Dr Roebuck’s is an Australian-based brand created by two sisters, using a formula developed by their parents (both physicians) in 1978. They are cruelty-free and great for all skin types. I’ve seen quite a few reviews from people with sensitive skin who absolutely love the products. As someone with dry and dehydrated skin, I’ve been loving everything I’ve tried. All the products in this photo were gifted by the brand, but I have purchased from them before and would again. The quality is apparent across the brand, and I haven’t used a product I didn’t like. Some firm favorites: . • Bondi Hydrating Mist with Kakadu plum, cucumber, and vitamin B3 has become one of my favorite morning toners. The light mist feels refreshing as it settles over my skin, and it’s sweet scent is lovely. For being such a light texture it’s still very hydrating, perfect for a quick morning routine. • Down Under collagen boosting eye treatment with coconut oil, amino acids, and caffeine is a perfect weight for the mornings. This is rich enough to keep my eye area moisturized without feeling heavy or greasy. The finish is silky and smooth, making it perfect as a base for makeup application. However if you’re sensitive to coconut oil or prone to milia I would recommend something lighter. • Tassie anti-pollution serum with myramaze, blueberry extract, and amino acids is a light gel that absorbs quickly. With a very faint sweet scent that doesn’t linger, this is a perfect serum to quickly layer in the mornings. I love adding any and all anti-oxidant products to my routines, especially in the mornings as I know I’ll be outside in the sun. The Tassie serum will 100% be something I’ll be replacing once it’s out.
