This calming cannabinoid serum has become a hero item in my skincare routine. Itās helped me tone down redness which is one of my primary skin concerns ā Iām sure Iām not alone here, since this stuff sells out quickly.
The thing that helped me most was just focusing on moisturizing and absolutely not listening to dermotologists who tried to dry out my skin - I love the kana lavender sleeping mask and serum as well as anything from big wood farms. I also use this mask once a week and that helps keep me clear and makes me feel like a special princess.
Every night I use theĀ Sofie Pavitt Face Mandelic Clearing Serum: this is nothing short of life-changing. I was experiencing a very strange hormonal skin flare up early in January, and I bought this product as a pregnancy-safe exfoliant and acne serumāthe before and afters (just 1 week apart) speak for themselves. I get worried when I start to run low on this product, and its one the few products in the world I would subscribe to monthly deliveries of. Sofie is so so so incredible and knowledgeable- this comes through in the authenticity of her brand. Her cleanser is shockingly good for a simple, gentle cleanser. I recently got hooked on this.
I want to take a bath in this serum. Itās a luxe, indulgent, everyday necessity that makes your skin look and feel like it just had a fat drink of water. From the bottle, to the scent, to application to absorption - my morning and night moments with this serum are the best parts of my day.
I watched an obscene amount of early-to-mid 2000s reality TV during quarantine, including this delightful MTV series starring Travis Barker and his then-wife, model/actress Shanna Moakler. Viewers can tell the couple is keeping it totally real in front of the cameras: Travis was at the height of his Blink-182 fame while becoming a father for the first time, and watching the Barkers balance their hard-partying rock star lives with starting a family is endearing.
If you run into me IRL this fall, thereās a high probability that I will be wearing this skirt ā as you can see, I am wearing it in my photo for this very newsletter. Itās surprisingly versatile! When youāre feeling punk, throw it on with some Doc Martens and a vintage band tee; if youāre all in on the prep aesthetic, opt for some ankle socks, loafers, and a V-neck cashmere sweater. Buy one in solid and one in plaid for even more āfit possibilities!
Yes, these are expensive, but if you think in terms of price per wear, theyāre worth every penny. I have them in all three colors and in a couple of different sizes for days when I want a baggier fit. Theyāre straight-leg, have no stretch, and legitimately look like they couldāve been found at a vintage store, which are my top three qualifications when it comes to buying denim.
