💡 Less Makeup. More Meaning. Let’s Redesign the Way You Glow.

Hey beauty,

This week, we’re taking it back to the basics but with intention.
Forget chasing trends or covering up symptoms.

This is about tuning in to your body, simplifying your routine, and building a life (and look) that actually fits you.

Let’s create a life and a face that you feel good in.

  • Cream blush stick – cheeks, lips, and eyelids

  • Brow gel – lift, define, done

  • Mascara – wide-awake magic

  • Glow serum or face mist – finish fresh

🔍 Hormone Symptom Decoder

That puffy face? That breakout? That wave of “meh”?
It’s not random. It’s hormonal.

What your skin & mood might be telling you:

  • Breakouts along jawline? Estrogen & androgen shifts

  • Mid-cycle glow then dullness? Rising progesterone

  • Mood dips before period? Cortisol spike & serotonin drop

  • Dry skin & fatigue? Estrogen dip + hydration imbalance

What to do:
✨ Track your cycle
✨ Add anti-inflammatory foods (think: berries, greens, turmeric)
✨ Sleep. Seriously.

🧠 Life Design Tip: Build Around What Feels Good

Instead of trying to fit into your schedule, your jeans, or someone else’s expectations, what if you built your days around your energy?

Ask yourself:

  • What part of the day feels easiest?

  • What task always drains me?

  • What do I need more of—movement, stillness, light, laughter?

Then reverse-engineer your routine around those answers.

You’re not lazy. You’re misaligned.

🫶 Wrap-Up Vibe

Strip it back. Listen in.
Let your beauty feel light. Let your symptoms guide, not shame.
Let your life work for you.
