I spritzed on
Bond No. 9’s The Scent
of Peace
every single day during the first
few weeks of the COVID-19 crisis, and
there is something about this soft and
calming scent that truly lifted my spirits
each day. It was my saving grace. (And
even my husband would often say as I
shuffled past in my pajamas, “Oh wow,
you smell so pretty!)
$370, BondNo9.com

surprise? I have tried bunches of

APPLAUSE-WORTHY HAND CARE
Who knew our hands would play such a
significant role in our lives? I applaud
SPA
of ICELAND
for its gentle hand soap with
icelandic sea salt and sea buckthorn fruit
extract and hand cream with shea butter
and sea buckthorn fruit extract. They are so
soothing and have nice, light, refreshing scent of
Icelandic moss and thyme.

GRANDEST STRANDS
I always felt like the Goldilocks of
good hair serums but the
Ricardo
Rojas AMORE SERUM
is nothing
short of spectacular for my long
hair…it’s j-u-s-t right! The top-notch
serum creates a reflective, sexy shine.
The more it’s used, the healthier,
stronger, and more shimmering and
luminous the hair becomes.
$49, Neiman Marcus
HAPPIEST DISCOVERY
A weightless, medium coverage stick foundation with SPF 20 that feels light-as-air, breathable and
lasts for 16 hours…
finally!
Benefit Cosmetics Hello Happy Air Stick Foundation
glides on
so effortlessly and feels silky-smooth. It’s formulated with a blend of botanical extracts, including
chamomile, green tea, and Ginkgo Biloba, and oh, how I love the light lavender scent.
