Hi there! Happy Monday! And here in the U.S., Happy Memorial Day.
I post my outfit each day on my Instagram. I wear neutrals and many of the pieces I have I have had for years because they are classics. Today I am going to share a few of my favorites from my spring capsule wardrobe.

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I have decent eyebrows, they’re fairly full and I thankfully missed the overpluck of the ’90s, but I decided to try a hair growth serum to try to fill in the more sparse areas and get a little bit more fluffy brow hairs. The brow serums tend to be expensive, so I wondered if the well-reviewed hair growth serum from The Ordinary, a company I love, and I have loved the results. I love The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density.

Hi there! Happy Monday!
Today I want to shout out my favorite and most-reached-for lip gloss, Buxom White Russian Full-On Plumping Lip Polish. I love that lip gloss is on trend, it makes my ’90s girl heart so happy! I still remember applying Bonnie Bell Sparkle Lip Smacker in Vanilla Frosting (now a cool $100 on Mercari…) during commercial breaks during T.G.I. Fridays. Ah, the simple days. And I love that lip gloss offers a youthful, fresh look, or can be applied over lipstick to add dimension.
This lip gloss isn’t too sticky but lasts well, and the smell is pleasant. I love the color White Russian because it is the perfect pinky nude.

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I am a big fan of denim on denim, and it wasn’t gone that long but now it’s back in a big way for 2023. I love any monochrome, tone-on-tone, dressing, and denim on denim is a fun look. Some people are worried that they’ll look like they’re rocking a “Canadian tuxedo” or be imitating Brit and Justin circa 2001 (IYKYK), but if you give it a chance it can be an easy, pulled-together look.
I styled my Abercrombie 80’s Mom Jeans with an old denim (chambray) shirt worn open (similar one linked here) and wore a green-gray neutral tank (similar).
What do you think of this trend? Are you into all this denim? Let me know in a comment below! You can view my outfit daily on my Instagram.

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I started using the CeraVe Skin Renewing Nightly Exfoliating Treatment Glycolic Acid Face Serum recently after I decided to switch to a drugstore glycolic acid face serum to replace a more expensive serum I was purchasing from Sephora. Today I want to share my thoughts with you.
Glycolic acid works to exfoliate the skin, speed up cell turnover, and boost the production of collagen. It also helps clear pores, smooth fine lines, fade sun spots, and hydrate your skin. Glycolic Acid is a powerhouse!
Product Highlights:
CeraVe Skin Renewing Nightly Exfoliating Treatment features a 5% AHA blend of glycolic acid and lactic acid for gentle exfoliation to help smooth fine lines, accelerate skin’s surface cell renewal, and clarify dead skin cells, without causing flaking or redness. With continued use, skin looks healthier with an improved radiance as signs of aging are visibly reduced, including the appearance of wrinkles, dullness, dark spots, and enlarged pores. Potent, yet gentle and lightweight, this multi-tasking, leave-on face serum is formulated with 3 essential ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and licorice root extract, and helps maintain the protective skin barrier and immediately boost skin hydration. Serum for the face also helps visibly brighten and even skin tone with 8 weeks of use. The creamy, hydrating formula is non-comedogenic, fragrance-free, and suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
Key Ingredients:
Glycolic Acid – Lactic Acid Blend: 5% AHA blend gently exfoliates and increases surface cellular turnover for visibly smoother, radiant skin
Three essential ceramides (1, 3, 6 II) help restore the skin’s natural barrier
Licorice Root Extract helps visibly brighten skin
Hyaluronic Acid helps retain skin’s natural moisture
MVE Technology provides a steady release of all-day hydration
I use this after cleansing and toning my face and after I apply this I apply either my moisturizer or my vitamin C, depending on the day (I alternate certain skincare items). I love this product and my skin looks just as good as when I was using a more expensive version. I will continue to use this product.
Hi there! Happy Monday!
In late 2022 I got a pair of green Adidas Track Pants and decided that I should have a pair of Adidas sneakers. I read a ton of reviews and decided that I wanted a pair of Adidas Ozweego sneakers. These are the coolest Adidas sneakers.
I ended up getting these in one of my favorite shades of green, a sage color that is totally neutral to me. And the sage Ozweego Sneakers are on major sale! I have worn these snappy casual with a blazer, and very casual with a T-shirt and jeans. These are a bit of a clunky and wide shoe, but not so much that they overtake the rest of your outfit. They’re incredibly comfortable! I did size down 1/2 a size because I have quite narrow feet and these are wide.
What are your favorite casual sneakers? I reach for my New Balance 574s, Nike Air Force Ones, and now my Adidas Ozweegos quite often, especially now that there is no snow but it isn’t always sandal weather.

Hi there! Happy Monday!
Today I want to talk to you about Differin Gel as an anti-aging product. I enjoy my mid-30s skincare routine and some of my favorite items that I don’t talk about often because they aren’t new but they are things I use daily. I have used Tretinoin in the past but if you need an over-the-counter, affordable retinoid, I want to encourage you to try Differin Gel.
Differin contains the ingredient adapalene which is a retinoid that fights fine lines, dark spots, and dull skin. Differin stimulates collagen production and helps with dark spots by exfoliating the skin. It also helps with clogged pores and acne, which is what I originally used it for in the early aughts when it was by prescription only. It also has anti-inflammatory properties. You do need to ease into it, and you only need a pea-sized amount. I use it every other night and tretinoin on the “off” night. I apply it after my toner and before my moisturizer. It is very important to use S.P.F. when using a retinoid (but really, all the time! 365!).
Do you use a retinoid? Have you tried Differin Gel?

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I wore these Abercrombie linen pants so much last year. My favorite is white, but I also have them in a natural tan shade that is also so versatile.
Linen is a wonderful fabric for spring and summer, and I love having linen pants for days when I want more coverage, especially when I’m going into places with A/C but it’s hot or I’m at appointments and don’t want shorts on.
These pants are a linen blend, which helps because they do wrinkle some but not nearly as bad as many linen items I have. I steam them in a minute and they look great all day, even when I’ve sat or been in the car.
Have you tried linen pants? I’d love to hear!

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I’ve been a big fan of the NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray for years, but a few weeks ago was unable to find it at my local big box store, so I decided to try the NYX Plump Finish with Electrolytes. Today I want to share my thoughts.
I have combo/oily skin, but I mentioned last week that I have been enjoying a *bit* of glow and a dewy look. I don’t want a “dewy finish” spray, because a big reason I use the spray is to avoid my makeup melting off, but I love the youthful glow I’ve recently been embracing.
Do I think this keeps my makeup perfect for 24 hours? No. Do I think that this adds moisture for 24 hours? Also, no. That said, I love how my makeup looks after I apply this. It is an almost halo, natural beauty, I woke up like this look when sprayed lightly over makeup.
This product is a WIN for me. Have you tried it?

Hi there! Happy Monday!
I recently started using the Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Instant Perfector 4-in-1 Glow Foundation Makeup and want to share my thoughts.
I have always had combo/oily skin, and for years I gravitated to matte makeup and matte skin only, but as I’ve gotten older my skin isn’t *quite* as oily (though my nose still is), and at the same time, over the last several years trends have changed and more glowy makeup has come into style, I’ve been enjoying a bit more glow. If you have oily skin, I hear you and I see you, but now I look less oily and more glowy, and I’m here for a little more of a dewy look.
The Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Instant Perfector 4-in-1 Glow Foundation Makeup is considered by many to be a dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter, which is a product I haven’t tried but the comparison piqued my interest. I’ve seen the TikTok videos showing the Maybelline Perfector 4-in-1 and was excited to try it. I purchased it in the lightest shade, and it’s quite sheer so the range that could work with is larger than concealer or foundation.
When I first received it I didn’t twist enough (even though I’ve used other similar twist sponge applicator products from Maybelline) and it was watery and it messed up my makeup. Once I twisted up enough product I realized that I LOVE it. Do I think it’s a foundation? No. Concealer? No. But I do think that under makeup in areas where you want a little glow or my favorite way to wear it: applying it onto my cheekbones and blending with a sponge, it is stunning. It’s just enough glow but it’s natural. It looks like it is your skin, that the glow comes from within, as opposed to adding a shimmery or powder highlight on top of your skin.
This product is a WIN for me. Have you tried it?
