Softlips™ Shea Rich 85 Repair Lip Balm in Almond is the ultimate winter treat for my lips! It’s packed with hydration and has a subtle almond scent that feels so comforting on cold days.
I always misplace my lip balms in sweaters and coats, so having extras is a lifesaver—and this one’s a perfect addition to my collection. Bonus points for being preservative, colorant, mineral oil, and silicone-free. My lips are soft, smooth, and ready for anything.

Big thanks to Butterly and @Nexcare for sending me the Nexcare Thin & Transparent Acne Patches! These have quickly become a staple in my skincare routine. I personally love going to bed with them—they’re so thin, I forget they’re even on. Plus, I’ve had no worries about them falling off or mysteriously disappearing in the night. They stay put for the full 8 hours, doing all the hard work while I sleep.
The hydrocolloid material absorbs oil and pus. Just apply and let it handle those stubborn blemishes.

The Golden Hour Brightening Vitamin C Serum from Birch Babe aims to do it all—brighten, soothe, boost collagen, and fade dark spots while restoring your skin’s elasticity. It’s packed with heavy hitters like Vitamin C, Ferulic Acid, Niacinamide, and Peptide Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (AKA “Nature’s Botox”). The promise? A healthier, firmer, and more radiant complexion. And for anyone with sun damage, this serum tackles it head-on with its antioxidant blend, including Buriti Oil.
While the lavender fragrance is noticeable, it might be more of a personal preference. If you enjoy that scent, it could add a nice calming touch to your routine, but for those sensitive to stronger fragrances, it’s something to keep in mind.

From the very first use, the rich, velvety formula envelops your skin in a deeply hydrating embrace, leaving it feeling soft, supple, and utterly pampered. Infused with almond milk and oil, this cream goes beyond basic hydration, offering up to 48 hours of moisture while working to smooth and firm the skin.

The product’s long-lasting hydration and firming effects make it ideal for those looking to address dryness or improve the skin’s texture. With consistent use, I noticed my skin not only felt softer but looked visibly firmer and more toned.

The wide opening ensures you can easily scoop out the perfect amount of product and access every last drop, avoiding any waste. There’s a tactile elegance in the way the jar feels in your hand—substantial and well-crafted, making it a beautiful addition to your skincare collection.

The Vida by PADERNO Colour Series Electric Variable Temperature Steeping Kettle has truly transformed my tea experience. With four temperature pre-sets ranging from 70°C to 100°C (160°F to 212°F), I can now steep my tea at the exact temperature it needs for perfect flavor every time.
The clear glass steeper is a standout feature—I love watching the water change color as my tea brews, adding a sense of anticipation and elegance to the process. The height-adjustable stainless steel steeping basket ensures optimal infusion, and the 30-minute keep-warm function is perfect for those moments when I want to savor a cup at my own pace.
In my latest reel, I demonstrated how effortlessly the Vida kettle heats water for tea that I then chilled for refreshing iced tea. The rapid boil feature and 360° swivel base make it incredibly convenient, while the soft beige Shortbread color adds a touch of style to my kitchen.
Dishwasher-safe accessories, including the bottom of the steeping basket, make cleanup a breeze. Overall, the Vida by PADERNO isn’t just a kettle; it’s an elegant addition to my tea-making routine, enhancing both the beauty and precision of each cup!

I recently tried ENSO Granola in Pistachio & Sea Salt, and it’s become a staple in our household. The granola adds an irresistible crunch to any bowl, whether it's yogurt or just as a standalone snack. The blend of crunchy pistachios with a sweet and salty flavour, thanks to extra virgin olive oil and maple syrup, makes it not only delicious but also satisfying.
My husband, son, and I all appreciate how it enhances our snacks and meals, making us feel fuller and more satisfied. Even my picky toddler loves it, which is a huge win. It’s perfect for on-the-go snacking and has become a must-have for our family walks in the evening.
The quality ingredients and exceptional taste make this granola stand out as a versatile and enjoyable choice for any occasion.

I recently started using the Philips Epilator Series 8000, and it’s been a game-changer for my hair removal routine. As someone who’s very self-conscious about the hair on my arms, I regularly self-wax, but this epilator has completely won me over. It’s faster and cleaner to use, with no sticky mess to deal with.
The epilation process was a bit more painful than waxing, but not by much. I experimented on different parts of my body and found that my legs were more sensitive while my armpits were not. It really does depend on your pain tolerance, and each person’s experience will vary. Despite the initial discomfort, I found the results to be well worth it.
The shaver and trimmers worked as expected, delivering smooth and precise results. I also love that all the attachments can be used on wet or dry skin, adding to the convenience. The Series 8000 makes hair removal a breeze, whether you’re in the shower or just need a quick touch-up.
What sets this epilator apart are the additional attachments that come with it. The exfoliating glove is fantastic for prepping your skin before epilation, ensuring a smoother finish and helping to prevent ingrown hairs. The contact cap provides a more comfortable and closer epilation, perfect for larger areas like the arms and legs. The delicate cap is a lifesaver for more sensitive areas, offering a gentler touch that’s ideal for underarms and bikini lines.
Another major plus is that these attachments are reusable, which means you’ll save money in the long run compared to regular waxing sessions or disposable razors. It’s an investment that pays off with every use.
If you’re looking for a versatile and efficient hair removal tool, the Philips Epilator Series 8000 is definitely worth trying. It’s become an essential part of my routine, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to waxing.
