I am loving this high-quality sweatshirt from CALIA. Loving the long zipper, high collar and feel of the material. It comes in a lot of different colors, but I chose this soft lavender. And silly me forgot to take the tag off my jeans. But that’s how I make videos. What you see is what you get! Just a real woman in real clothes, #calia #activewear

I definitely simplified the science a little bit, but I think you get the idea. Using a portable blender allows me to have a delicious and healthy snack anytime. #blender #portableblender #healthy #healthysnack

Yes, I own an infrared sauna. It includes light therapy and aromatherapy.

Comment SHOP and I will send you all the details. I will send you a list of my top recommendations because I did all the research before buying one. I consider it an important investment in overall health and beauty.

Why? Because regular heat exposure helps support circulation, promotes relaxation, and encourages the body’s natural detox pathways. Studies show that saunas can help relax muscles, reduce stress, and support a healthy cardiovascular system, while the heat and increased blood flow can also help give skin a glowing, refreshed look over time.

So let’s get into it. The following are why washing your face and hair with dechlorinated water can matter.

1. Chlorine creates repeated oxidative stress, which can push skin toward collagen breakdown over time. Not swimming pool damage, but a low grade, daily oxidative stressor that adds up.

2. It disrupts the skin barrier, increasing water loss and making dryness and fine lines more visible.

3. It increases skin reactivity, which reduces tolerance to active skincare ingredients. Stressed skin is more inflamed and less responsive to the products you already use.

Now the science.

Chlorine is a strong oxidizing agent. In water treatment, oxidation kills microbes. On skin, repeated oxidative exposure damages barrier lipids, fatty acids, ceramides, and structural proteins. This increases transepidermal water loss and inflammatory signaling. Chronic oxidative stress is also one of the biological pathways involved in collagen and elastin degradation over time.

This does not require swimming pool levels. Municipal tap water contains chlorine or chloramine at low parts per million, but daily exposure matters, especially with hot showers that increase skin permeability.

Chlorine and chloramine are not the same thing. Chloramine is chlorine bonded to ammonia, which makes it more stable and longer lasting in water distribution systems. That stability is useful for public health, but harder on skin because it does not dissipate easily.

Ascorbic acid neutralizes reactive chlorine species at the water level.

If you like beauty content that is backed by science and explained simply, follow me. I have a lot more of this coming.

Microneedling helps create tiny channels so peptides can reach deeper layers of aging skin instead of sitting on the surface. Deeper delivery can support collagen production, skin repair, and overall firmness over time. #seranova #agingskin #skincare

For everyday wear, I don’t like to put on full eyelashes. Sometimes I just like a little extra on the outer eyelid. So I use a corner eyelash. And complete my eyeshadow routine to complement that corner lash #cornerlashes #idole #lancome

There’s something that shifts once you cross 50. You stop pretending certain relationships are “fine” when they’ve been wearing you down for years. You feel the difference in your chest. You feel it in your nervous system. You feel it when you walk back into your own house and finally breathe again.

Keeping bad company hits harder now because you actually know what your peace is worth. You’ve lived enough life to see the pattern. If someone keeps pulling you off your own path, you stop calling it loyalty. You call it what it is. And you walk away without apologizing for it.

We don’t get bonus points for suffering through people who refuse to grow. You get one second act. Protect it. Build it. Fill it with people who don’t confuse access with permission.

Repurposing items in your closet is truly a thing. The stress was completely unflattering, until I gave it another chance, and that’s the purpose of styling.

Reinvention gets sold like some big dramatic moment, but most days it’s just you standing in front of a mirror deciding you’re done disappearing. Sometimes it’s the mindset. Sometimes it really is the clothes. Both count. Both shift something. Both remind you you’re still in there and you’re not done yet.

Many of the items in this post are vintage or no longer being sold and sold out. Nordstrom’s used to sell this Aldo bag but now they are getting harder to find. I put some similar product so you could re-create the look below.
