In this vlog I’m mixing real life with beauty maintenance, and we’re starting off with a vulnerable check-in: my month one GLP-1 weight loss update. I was hesitant to share it, but I’m removing all shame from my process because I don’t know who I may be helping. I’m talking through what I’m noticing in my body and how I’m feeling, and I’m keeping it honest—because that’s the only way I know how to do this. Then we roll right into a cozy mini spa moment because your girl was bloated, lethargic, and on her cycle. I walk you through my winter skincare and bodycare essentials to keep over-30 skin hydrated and comfortable in the cold, especially when your body just needs extra care. After that, we hit the beauty room for a ruthless bronzer declutter—keep, maybe, and throwaway—for brown skin. I’m swatching, calling out undertones (because red bronzers are not always it), and talking formula performance on textured, mature skin. The big takeaway: I’m keeping what I actually reach for, letting go of what’s expired or uninspiring, and I’m not “making” pricey bronzers work when the shade range isn’t inclusive.
