Favorite skin care treatment right now
As someone who has dry-combination skin, I love any treatment that helps my skin glow and be moisturized, like Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream.
Favorite book
I love Atomic Habits! Any self-help book really motivates me to improve how I see and live life.
Favorite self-care activity right now
With my busy schedule of juggling work and social life, taking time to do my skin care every night is the best self-care activity. I usually start by cleaning my face with a gentle cleanser. Then I use toner, serum, moisturizer, and lip mask.
Weekend routine
Nothing specific, just really spending time with my family and friends!
It's Friday, and you've had a busy week at work. What's the first thing you do when you get home?
Grab a drink and binge-watch!

I love microdermabrasion! There's nothing like feeling your skin so smooth and then putting on your favorite serum. I love the Renew serum or the Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Serum. My skin is glowing!
Favorite book
It Ends With Us by Colleen Hoover. I thought it was such a well-written book. I had a lot of emotions from seeing a love story that turned bad. It was so amazing to see the main character break the pattern of abuse and create a new life for herself!
Favorite self-care activity right now
Either my one-line-a-day journal or walking. I like to walk and wind down after work and maybe listen to a podcast! And I love my one-line-a-day journal. It helps me reflect on each day and how fun will it be to look back on?!
Weekend routine
My Saturday morning routine: Gym class, breakfast, walk, Trader Joe's, shower, get ready for the day!

Favorite skin care treatment right now
I got a face roller recently and I love it! I keep it in the fridge and use it in the morning. It's supposed to be good for circulation, but I like it because it's refreshing and soothing, especially under my eyes.
Favorite book
Mrs. Dalloway is one of my favorites! Virginia Woolf's writing is stunning, and the story is heartbreaking but beautiful. I think it's the only book I've read more than two times—I feel like I could read it over and over again and never get sick of it.
Favorite self-care activity right now
I've been setting aside more time to read every day. I like to make a cup of Earl Gray tea with honey and milk, turn on my fireplace, and snuggle up with a good book and my cat.
Weekend routine
I like to go for morning walks on weekends with my husband or a friend. There's a park by my house where I'll usually see foxes scurrying around, and I bring my binoculars for bird watching! I also like to try new recipes and spend time with family on the weekends.
It's Friday, and you've had a busy week at work. What's the first thing you do when you get home?
The first thing I always do is say hello to my kitty! After that, I like to decompress by either cooking dinner or going out to eat with my husband.

Favorite skin care treatment right now
Genuinely the Auria Vita Microdermabrasion treatment. My skin has been incredibly dry this winter and has been looking really dull. But I've been committed to using the Auria Vita a few times a week and my skin has been looking and feeling amazing.
Favorite book
My favorite book is The Great Gatsby! I've loved it since I first read it when I was 16. It is just so achingly romantic and the writing is just-beyond-words beautiful. I love a romantic tragedy.
Favorite self-care activity right now
Definitely spending a night in the bathtub with some bath salts and a good book! It's my favorite way to rest and unwind and helps keep my aching muscles in shape.
Weekend routine
I teach a dance class on Sundays so I like to start my morning with some reading and a good breakfast, teach class, and spend the rest of the day with my dog watching scary movies.
It's Friday, and you've had a busy week at work. What's the first thing you do when you get home?
Change into my PJs and make a peppermint hot chocolate. The secret is just a splash of peppermint schnapps.

Favorite skin care treatment right now
I'm a skincare newbie, so my skin care is pretty basic. But I do love CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser—it's done a lot for my skin!
Favorite book
I'm a huge fan of the book Six of Crows. It's got characters you just adore, a nail-biting plot, and a fascinating world of magic. It's literally perfect.
Favorite self-care activity right now
I am a tea fanatic. There's nothing like a cup of tea when I'm tired and stressed. It's so relaxing!
Weekend routine
I go to my ice skating class every weekend! It's usually the highlight of my week. I'm learning how to do hockey stops and skate backwards, and I look forward to it every week.
It's Friday, and you've had a busy week at work. What's the first thing you do when you get home?
Make myself some dinner and then work on my embroidery projects. I'm working on a custom denim jacket for an upcoming Taylor Swift concert and it's so fun to see the project come together!
