Slip Pillowcase: $85

This is a celebrity dermatologist and hair stylist  secret. I had heard the importance of changing and washing your pillowcase regularly to prevent breakouts, but did you know that your pillowcase also plays a role in aging skin and hair health? The Slip Pillowcase is made with 100 percent silk making it the softest, best pillowcase out there. Say goodbye the waking up with bedhead and those annoying sleep creases on your cheeks! Slip also makes silk  hair scrunchies for a just-as-fun less pricey option.

G. Tox ultimate dry brush: $20

A brush for you skin? Yep, that exists. Dry Brushing is perfect to do in the dry winter months, right before a shower. It removes dead skin and stimulates blood flow, I’ve even heard it can help prevent cellulite. I love mine!

Halluci Indoor/Outdoor Fuzzy Slippers: $23.99

I literally have been living in these! If you follow me on the gram then you might have seen the make an appearance in a couple of my stories. They are so soft and cozy and cute. The best part is that you never have to take them off because they’re designed to be able to wear outside too. ;)

Jillian Dempsey Lid Tint: $28

This tint is easy to apply with you finger and gives  the prettiest, glowing, dewy finish. It can be worn by itself for an effortless look or used a primer for full eye makeup. I have the tint in nude and love how it adds a little sparkle to my  go-to, no-makeup look.

Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical serum: $65

This serum is the perfect gift for your mom or anyone with more mature, normal skin types. I love the way it feels going on to  my skin but it was a bit heavy for my skin personally. It’s a multi-correctional facial serum made with 22 of the finest botanicals. Healing, balancing, nourishing, and brightening if you’re looking for a good serum this one does all the things.

Goopglow Morning Skin Superpowder: $60

I’ve been really into creating a healthy morning routine for myself that I can stick to. The yummiest part of my routine is a glass of antioxidant-rich goopglow superpowder. It tastes amazing and helps your skin glow from within - you are what you eat (and drink)!

Goopglow Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator: $125

This is my new favorite product. This scrub combines exfoliating minerals with glycolic acid and vitamin C to truly reveal brighter, healthier looking skin.


Goopglow Overnight Peel: $125

I first want to start off by saying that when a skincare product has the word “peel” in it does not mean that it’s going to make your skin peel off like you got a bad sunburn. It simply means it refines, retexturizer, and brightens your skin.  These glycolic acid pads are AMAZING, I use them 1-2 times per week in addition to the Microderm exfoliator.

Supergoop’s Superscreen Daily Moisturizer: $38

Supergoop makes  incorporating sunscreen into your everyday skincare routine easy and seamless. This is their most basic moisturizer and it can be worn easily under makeup or without - either way it gives an awesome dewy finish.

Vanity Planet Ultimate Skin Spa: $130

Bring the luxuries of a deep-clean spa visit to your bathroom with this spa kit. I used to wash my face with my hands, but have noticed a huge difference in how clean my face feels, looks, and an overall improvement in my complexion since switching to the VP Skin Spa brush. It’s not only relaxing, but so good for anyone with problem skin.
