I just, like, I want to be proactive about my skincare.

This is something that matters to me, and I really want to do it well.

Ladies, this is one of those good old episodes where you get to hear me and my bestie, Rebecca

Sacron, sitting down and chatting about things that we love. However, this isn't just any old

favorites episode. It was actually supposed to be. And then we realized we really needed to split it up

between two different episodes because I completely went down the rabbit hole of skincare and

beauty in this episode to the point where we're like, okay, this is all we're going

to end up covering and talking about. But it was so much fun. I've been doing so much research

in this area lately. It's been something that I have loved all my life, makeup and skincare, but also

more so on the skincare lately, now that I've turned 35, really thinking about

what's it going to take to keep me looking young and feeling good about the way that I look.

So this episode covers a lot of in-depth stuff that can feel a little bit overwhelming, but

don't worry if it feels overwhelming right now. I'm going to have more stuff coming out in this topic over the coming months and especially into fall. Remember I talked about last week? We're doing a little bit of a rebrand, some fun things coming up. So those are some things that you can be expecting. Don't get overwhelmed. Just know I'm here for you. I'm going to hold your hand and help you every step of the way.

And it's going to be really good. And we're all going to be looking fabulous. It's going to be great.

Okay. So basically that's what we're doing on this episode. And if you want more of that behind the scenes content of what's going to be coming up in the fall with our rebrand, you're going to want to get in Patreon because that's the number one place to find me and chat with me and get the real goods.
