Summary

In this solo episode, I’m covering everything from overrated beauty trends to the wellness habits that actually make a difference. I share the product I’ve been gatekeeping, the beauty brands I’m currently loving, and how my AM and PM skincare routines have evolved as I’ve started aging—publicly. We get into how my perception of beauty has shifted, thoughts on constant innovation in skincare, and why sometimes doing less for your skin and wellness actually works better. I also talk about the supplements I take, how I stay flexible without slipping into over-optimization, and what it really means to hear your intuitive voice. Plus: the real purpose of meditation, navigating people’s opinions about not having kids, balancing an active social life as an introvert, and a few honest updates from the chair (you’ll know what I mean)!

I have some things to catch you guys up on. And as usual, I did questions on Instagram. And I tend to get a lot of similarly themed
0:58.2	questions when I do these Q&As. I tried to today break them down into like beauty, wellness,
1:04.3	but we'll just kind of see where things go. So I'll start with lightning round like I do with my guests. Rapid fire,

1:32.0	out of my own experience, there were some trends that I jumped on in the past few years that I
1:39.2	definitely wouldn't do again, and I wouldn't necessarily recommend. So one of those would be microblading.
1:45.5	Eyebrowlibrillating. Tessa, did you ever get on that trend?
1:48.9	No, thankfully.
1:49.9	Yeah. This was like huge around 2018, I want to say. And I did it then. And it's kind of advertised
