Things That Stayed — January
Little things I loved and kept reaching for.
This is a new series that I’m starting, called Things That Stayed, where I want to share with you my current obsessions and discoveries that I’m choosing to keep.
Through my work as a celebrity makeup artist and as a content creator, I’m lucky to be sent a lot of product and clothing. I am very particular about what gets to stay in my house. Beyond that, I believe in being equally intentional with what I consume and how I choose to spend my time.
This series is dedicated to sharing the things I actually love and recommend wholeheartedly, along with anything new that sparked inspiration for me this month.
I will also share a new photograph of my husband every month that fits the time of year and vibe.
Flow gummies on slow mornings.
A vitamin C serum that made winter skin look awake again.
The black diamond face mask I reach for whenever my skin feels tired and needs a quick lift.
I cannot get enough of this vanilla body cream, the scent is addictive.
Dry January, but still wanting a small ritual at the end of the day.
A toothbrush that somehow feels… chic.
Chocolate protein packets that taste amazing and are perfect on the go.
The only overnight hand treatment you need.
The daily health drink that actually lives up to the hype.
You had me at the name: Guilty Pleasure candle.
A tinted sunscreen that doesn’t make you break out and leaves you with the nicest glow.
A youth serum I kept using and loving.
A beautiful tailored nude trouser that I can’t wait to wear in the spring.
Another pair of black pants that already feel like a staple.
A classic trench I know I’ll wear on repeat.
Barely-there nude sandals waiting for warmer days.
A spontaneous girls’ trip to Cabo that felt like sunshine in the middle of winter.
My New Year’s resolution to read and write more German, and a new daily ritual of listening to the Hotel Matze podcast for thirty quiet minutes.
Binge-watching The Night Manager on Amazon Prime.
I placed everything HERE in case you’re curious.
See you at the end of February.
Until then, staying warm.
