“The obscene bird of night”

by José Donoso

Originally published in 1970, this Chilean novel has recently been re-released with a beautiful, unabridged edition. Surrealistic and thrilling, this book is better experienced than explained. Those interested in existentialism and paradoxes will not be able to put this labyrinthine novel down!

“pride and prejudice”

by Jane Austen

My mom has always been a huge fan of Jane Austen’s novels, with Pride & Prejudice being her absolute favorite. Growing up, I often found myself watching the film adaptations with her, which led me to develop a deep appreciation for them. Now, I’ve taken the plunge into the original work and started reading Pride and Prejudice, falling in love with Austen’s timeless story just as much as I did with the films.

enzyme cleansing booster

Finally purchased a bottle for myself! It’s my go-to because it gently exfoliates without irritating my acne-prone skin. It keeps my pores clear, reduces breakouts, and leaves my skin smooth and bright—and it’s perfect for staying fresh in summer heat.

Chamberlain Vanilla Matcha Powder

Ceremonial grade matcha blended with Madagascar vanilla makes for a delicious morning latte! If I have time in the morning, I love to pair this with a vanilla bean cold foam for an extra indulgent sip!

mega serum for an extra glowy base

Add Mega Serum to your pre-makeup routine! I love using it because it gives me an extra glowy base for my BB cream. Plus, it’s super lightweight, so I don’t end up with a cakey look afterward!

make cleansing your face a ritual!

Cleansing is the most important part of your skincare routine. I love to thoroughly massage a creamy cleanser into my skin, and for an extra skin bonus, I allow the cleanser to stay on while I shower, make my coffee, or make my bed. Whatever you do, don’t skip your AM cleansing!

regular biolift facial sessions

My skin has been in need of some TLC, especially after the brutal summer heat the past couple weeks. The BioLift truly helped to calm my acne and refresh my skin. I recommend getting facials especially during the turning of seasons to help your skin during the weather changes!
