My Favorite Things - Featured Product
Rose Oil - Provence Beauty
There’s something luxurious about ending the day with a little ritual, and this rose oil is one of my favorites. Infused with rosehip, pure rose oil and nourishing botanicals, this elixir leaves your skin feeling soft, supple and lightly kissed with the most divine floral aroma. It’s lightweight and absorbs beautifully!
Lindsay's Tips:
I keep mine right on my nightstand. Before bed, I smooth a few drops over my arms, hands, neck and chest. It instantly feels like self-care and I swear I sleep better with that dreamy rose scent lingering in the air. It’s also a great layering oil after your evening moisturizer or hand cream.
Your skin will thank you in the morning!
My Favorite Things
Grüns
L’Oréal Lumi Glotion
Grüns Daily Super Greens Gummies I take these every morning because they’ve genuinely helped fill the nutrient gaps that show up when I’m doing GPL-1s. My digestive system took a hit in the beginning, and these greens have been the easiest way to get support from spirulina, chlorella, fruits, veggies, and minerals without mixing powders or forcing down a smoothie. They’ve made a real difference in how my gut feels day to day.
TIP: Stay consistent. Most people notice their bowel movements regulate within the first week.
L’Oréal Lumi Glotion
L’Oréal Lumi Glotion
L’Oréal Lumi Glotion has become one of my absolute favorite makeup products. I use the medium tone and apply it over my entire face right after moisturizing for an instant, even glow that wakes up my skin. It gives just the right amount of warmth without looking heavy.
TIP: Go one shade darker than you think you need so you get that soft bronze finish instead of a flat highlight.
Sweater Dress
Sweater Dress
A cozy, flattering sweater dress in a rich wine tone that works for everything from holiday dinners to nights out. It pairs perfectly with knee-high boots or a sleek pair of pumps and an oversized clutch.
TIP: Add a belt or a structured coat if you want to elevate the shape while keeping the outfit warm and polished.
