MY CURRENT SKINCARE AND HAIR PRODUCTS FOR WORKOUT DAYS

These drugstore products have become recent favorites of mine, given the comparability against higher priced products. The Hale toner is almost exactly the same ingredient list as Rhode, and only five dollars.

Also loving this Trader Joe’s Dewey skin serum, which is very similar to glossier. You won’t find a better moisturizer than this one that has collagen and peptides for a plumping effect that works year round.

Finally bought the Sleepy Tie Sport, and can say it’s the real deal and having more grip when it comes to working out. I used it in my ballet class today and it was able to withstand jumps and pirouettes. It’s a must have especially if you don’t want to have dents in your hair from putting your hair in a bun with pins.

BEST ACTIVEWEAR LEGGINGS

I SWEAR BY CARBON 38. Why? The craftsmanship and fabric they use will outlast the apocalypse. I’ve had this set for over two years and I’ve had some from their same in-house line that are nearly a decade old.

The melt collection feels like literal butter on your body and gives you that naked feeling with the support you need. Think your Define leggings but infinitely better.

I wear a size XS and take a size 4 bottoms in Lululemon.

BETTER THAN RHODE

If you’ve been personally victimized by the Rhode blush, this blush stick is the one for you! It won’t rip your foundation off or disrupt any of your make up and glides on easily over anything from tinted moisturizer to more full coverage foundations. It’s also a two and one stick one side as a highlighter, and the other side is the blush.

It’s a mega bang for your buck and it lives full-time in my gym bag so as to not take up extra space in my gym beauty bag.

SKINCARE FOR WHEN YOU’RE IN A RUSH

These two skincare products are like 5 to 7 products in one! If you’re a busy mom or corporate queen, the serum and facial treatment essence will help you hit all your problems spots: improving texture, uneven skin tone, fine lines, dry skin, and so much more.

The SK-II facial treatment essence is a skin care, powerhouse full of antioxidants that helped target fine lines, dark spots, dullness, dry skin and uneven texture. I use it every morning.

McLarren double serum is a two and one formula that pushes the boundaries of what’s possible by targeting two types of aging, chronological and environmental. It’s like using 3 to 5 different serums on your face. It firms lifts and reduce wrinkles and instantly strengthens your skin moisture barrier making it perfect for winter skin. You’ll see a boost in your skin radiance slight minimization of your pores and more even skin texture.

MY FAVORITE HOME HACK WHEN I WAS UNEMPLOYED AND ON A BUDGET

using wax warmers to reheat the leftover wax from my favorite candles helped me stretch each candle to an overall burn time of almost 3 months!

You can do this with your more expensive candles or if you’re on a budget get an affordable candle like the ones that I normally get from Trader Joe’s that are $3.99! Regardless of what candle it is it’ll last you up to three months by reheating the wax

The following candle wax warmers are my favorite ones and they look super chic with any decor.

Using this nutrient blend will help you cook fresh food for your dog that’s infinitely cheaper than any of the fresh sub subscription dog food on the market.

HOW TO STORE COFFEE PODS IN A TINY APARTMENT

This Nespresso pod Lazy Susan saves an incredible amount of counter space which is key living in a tiny New York City apartment! It can hold up to 3 1/2 sleeves of pods and cuts down on the bulk in your cabinet cabinets.

I prefer it over the flat lay pod storage. That’s also out there. Horizontal space is at a premium!

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON TRENDY WARDROBE PIECES

Rent the Runway is the only place I get my trendy wardrobe items from because I can return them every two weeks and swap it out with something else. I used to spend anywhere between two to $400 on trendy items from fast fashion stores like Zara and once I replaced those specific items with a portion of my RTR subscription slots, my fashion spending dropped nearly in half.

Linked this week’s rentals here along with my absolute favorite silky robe here!

BEST PILATES WRAP TOP AND PINK ACTIVEWEAR SET

I adore this wrap top from Carbon38 as its form fitting without ties, making it super comfy for classes. I hate laying on the knotted ones! I’m wearing a size S and normally a size 6 in Lulu tops.

This perfect pink matching set from Amazon is under $35 for each piece and looks just like the Alo Bra and Align leggings.
