In this July + August favorites video, I’m catching you up on a very busy (and very cat-focused) summer—both of my boys were home, we had a packed house, and we even took in a stray kitten for a few weeks. Because of all that, I didn’t film much, but I’m really excited to sit down and share what genuinely stood out to me in skincare, body care, hair, makeup, and perfume—especially through the lens of mature skin and that “I want results, but I don’t want fussy” mindset. I start with a tool I keep coming back to: the NEWA radiofrequency device. I use it as a treatment every 4–6 months when I notice my jowls looking a bit more prominent, and while it’s not a miracle or a facelift-in-a-box, I do see a subtle lift and more firmness. From there, I get into products that made my routine easier and better—like Merit’s silky, non-stripping foaming cleanse, Symbiome’s gorgeous (but pricey) minimalist day cream, and a Korres eye gel that actually helps de-puff. Then it’s all about body glow and texture: Soft Services for KP/ingrowns and Fre for mineral body SPF (without SPF boosters). I wrap up with easy, reliable makeup (Victoria Beckham Cinnamon kajal, Merit Flush Balms, Eadem balm) plus the scent I kept reaching for: Diptyque L’Eau Papier.
