Because skincare is so important to me, SPF plays a vital role in my routine. I didn't fully realize I needed this particular one until I experimented with others and found that this formulation's non-greasy but tinted quality was something I needed in an SPF. 

Canvas bags are having a major moment. From Celine and JW Anderson to Fendi and Balenciaga, designers are reviving the chic classic. But let's not forget about the classic itself. 

A candle is always a good idea. Located in Brooklyn, Apotheke candles have a range of different scents that blend all the right essential oils to elevate your home.

I updated my nameplate necklace to this custom one because why not?
