Discovering health, wellness and the little things in Chicago.
If anything, this year has truly taught me the less makeup the better. My 6 skincare must-haves for summer days have been keeping me mentally sane and my skin looking rather clear. A year ago, you would have never caught me in the summer makeup free. Whether it’s the fact we’re in a pandemic or I lost interest, I feel much better this year. Letting my skin breathe most days is crucial to me when ...
