CATCHING UP
The week between and slow reset.
Playing catch up with an end of the month recap. The week between Christmas and New Years is always a bit slow. As I unwind from the flurry of December, I gradually ease back into my routine. All of the indulgences that came with celebrating the season have taken a toll on my skin and energy so it’s easy to welcome a reset.
I’ve talked about drinking AG1 before but it’s especially satisfying when I feel the need for a boost. Sometimes I’ll mix it with an IQ Electrolyte packet just to switch up the flavor.
Despite staying consistent with my skincare routine, a change in diet and late nights have left their mark. I’m using Prequel Multi Acid Milk Peel to freshen up the dullness.
I’m very happy with a skincare regimen I’ve committed to this year that’s easy and effective and will continue to use:
Dr. Diamond’s Metacine Insta Facial Plasma (AM)
Tretinoin (prescription) (PM)
Dr. Diamond’s Metacine HYDRO/O moisturizer - if I’m feeling dry (AM/PM)
European sunscreen everyday.
I’ve newly added Multi-Quench Mist. I’ve only been using it for a few days and love how hydrated my skin feels with a mid-day spritz.
I’ve been living in a rotation of sweaters and loungewear while nesting this week. The knits I’m wearing on repeat are cashmere from COS and &DAUGHTER. When I’m relaxing at home, I’ll wear sweaters with my Uniqlo sweatpants then switch to jeans when I go out.
I’m having trouble finding a good series to stream on TV so any recommendations are welcome. For movies, Song Sung Blue was excellent, with an incredible performance from Kate Hudson. Hamnet was equally strong with outstanding acting across the board.
My husband and I are taking a road trip up the coast this week, reviving a tradition from the early years of our marriage. We’ll be visiting old favorites and exploring new. Follow along on Instagram for updates.
Happy New Year!
