  • Episode 28 - Sanity & Self-Care
    Sep 18 2025

    When life feels chaotic, beauty rituals can be the grounding force that brings us back to ourselves. In this cozy catch-up, we’re talking about the self-care routines that keep us sane—from skincare staples to the tiny rituals that make us feel human again.

    ✨ In this episode, we cover:

    • Morning vs. evening routines & how they shift with our energy
    • The self-care practices we rely on (gua sha, cryo globes, body oil, candlelight, & more)
    • What’s currently living on our bathroom counters (hello, top shelf lineup 👀)
    • The products we’ve just finished (& whether we’d repurchase them)
    • Holy grails we’ll always go back to, no matter what
    • Beauty rituals that go beyond products—like shower playlists, energy resets, & turning skincare into a soul-soothing practice

    💗 At the end of the day, self-care isn’t about perfection or a 10-step routine. It’s about those little moments that remind you: “I’m worth taking care of.”

    💌 Share your self-care staples & top-shelf faves with us! Don’t forget to subscribe, leave a review, or send this episode to someone who could use a little extra love right now.
