After a whirlwind of a November, D and Jac are back in action and officially leaning into the festive spirit! D shares the joy of putting up her first Christmas tree in over 13 years, while Jac reflects on the positive energy surrounding her this holiday season. Then, with the dry winter months in full swing, D, our beloved in-house skincare expert, is sharing all her secrets to maintaining a glow. She dives into the basics of skincare for late 20s and 30-somethings, breaking down the essentials—cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and protecting—and gives us insights into the benefits and proper usage of retinol. To wrap up, D shares valuable advice on which products are worth investing in, the purpose of botox and filler, why you should avoid influencer recommendations, and how to go about finding a reliable injector.
