My love of winter runs deep.
Other people embrace the hot summer months, but I look forward to cold weather all year.
Then I discovered LOccitane Shea Butter hand cream.
I keep a tube on my nightstand and ritually apply it when I get into bed.
(Listen, when I find something that works, I go all in!)

It wassocomfy that Im actually embarrassed to say how many days I wore it in a row.
The fabric is silky smooth and theres no padding, meaning no stitching to cause rubbing.
I need a soldier in every purse and coat pocket to stave off the dreaded, inevitable chapped lips.
But after a few weeks of applying the mask nightly, Im a believer.
Its deeply hydratingmy lips actually feel fuller when I wake upwithout feeling sticky or oily.
Its also a lighter weight than my tried and true Aquaphor, and it goes on glob-free.
Plus, its added a little extra glamour and ritual to my nightly routine.

Sundays have officially become the day I take all to myself and go on self-dates.
I usually take myself out for coffee or breakfast and listen to audiobooks.
Virtue Scalp Treatment
Virtue Clarifying & Exfoliating Scalp Treatment
My hair surprises me every day.
Sometimes its wavy, sometimes its curly-ish, and sometimes it holds a sleek blowout like a champ.
So, safe to say, I need a little reset each week!
So I wanted to find a way to connect my past to this next chapter of my life.
I chose the artsy candle as Im not someone whos all that creatively inclinedplus it smelled incredible.

I researched alternatives and ended up buying aLogitech K380 Bluetooth keyboard.
made it an instant win.
I got them both in white, but they come in other soothing colors like rose and dusty blue.
For some reason, my left ear always gets water-logged.
Thats where these great ear plugs come in.
I use this about once a week or whenever my skin is feeling congested or looking super dull.
