It’s my birthday week, and I’ve been doing little “treat myself” moments pretty much every day—nothing wild, just cozy, practical, and fun. In this video I’m sharing a quick Sephora birthday haul, plus a little life update from Toronto (yes, it’s getting colder). I also mention why I finally bought a walking pad: I work from home, I sit all day, and my doctor has been getting mad at me because I’m not hitting enough steps. I show you the Sephora birthday gift I picked (the Moroccan Oil set) and the two samples I chose: Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Lip & Cheek and Skinfix Barrier+ Peptide Cream. I also talk about how Sephora’s online birthday gift made me spend at least $25, which honestly felt crazy—especially because in-store birthday gifts are basically sold out all year. I grabbed Benefit Benetint (rose-tinted lip and cheek stain) because I’ve never tried it even though it’s been around forever, and I redeemed points for a Sephora Beauty Insider shower caddy bag—because after losing over 4,000 points during the pandemic, I’m not saving points like I used to. Then it’s back to real life: I’m off to walk on my walking pad.
