I swear by this shit for NYC winter. I’m a Georgia Peach so these dry ass NYC winters really do not sit well with me. Spray away on your face as needed. I feel like the only dewy bitch in these streets amongst a sea of chalky dried up New Yorkers :) but I share! Just ask, I keep that thang on me ;)

Want to look literally wet (on your face! sheesh!)? Do not pass go, do not collect $200, and go get this cream right neowwwww. I first learned about it during a quick trip to Seoul while teaching abroad in Japan a decade ago (hi, any fellow JET program alum!), and have yet to find anything that tops it for the smoothest, dewiest, dream bitch skin. It's thick without being heavy, absorbs quickly, pretty budget-friendly, and you just wake up with *the* softest, most fresh skin. UGHHHHH.

i really like this one from Pixi beauty. It’s disgustingly cold in London rn and sometimes my skin gets flaky… all I have to do is swipe this on and get Vitamin E oils right where I need them. No need for creams and dirty fingers.

I wish everyone would cut the freaking crap and just get moisturizer with a pump attached to it. People have less money than ever (no evidence to support this) and yet are flushing it all down the drain spending the most ever on skincare (also no evidence to support this.) For $16.99 at Walgreens you can get this fabulous lightweight moisturizer that doesn’t clog pores and straight up lasts you an entire year. CeraVe has MVE Delivery Technology that ensures a controlled release and therefore all day hydration, along with hyaluronic acid to retain your skin’s natural moisture. I’ve tried a lot of expensive moisturizers and serums (Kiehl’s, La Mer, Olay lol) and they basically do the same shit CeraVe does but cost 5-10x more. Martha Stewart was just on What What Happens Live and she was asked what secret “trashy” habits she has and the first one she offered up was “the only moisturizer I use is hospital grade and it comes in a blue and white bottle.” Um.. hello!? She’s talking about CeraVe!! A huge benefit of using an industrial size product with a nozzle is that you can use it all day without being stingy. I think a lot of us are neglecting our neck and decolletage and if you use expensive creams you’re rightfully hesitant because you can practically see how much money you’re wasting with each application. Use it on your face and bod.. your wallet will thank you!

Cutest and best sourced collection of vintage designer in the city! They do pop-ups around LES often, but also have a qt website and IG. I got a pair of bleached raw denim 5351 Pour Les Femme jeans that I wear every day from one of their parties and an early 00’s Miu Miu mini skirt that I wore on NYE that I’m obsessed with. It’s ran by some of the hottest LES-ers <3 Shout-out Maya, Nancy, and Jeremie xoxo. I recently figured out that if you say “Heaven I Stay” aloud you get a cute surprise, so say it aloud right now to whoever’s near you :)

Best Portuguese egg tarts and onigiri in the city and they’re like $1.25. Just be chill, be nice to them and bring cash. I went recently and this bro asshole was yelling at them to cut his little ass tart into tiny pieces and they told him NO about 23984x, so eventually I was like cut it yourself bro or just eat it and stfu! Not that kind of establishment. Just get your cute little pastries and onigiri, say thank you and go about your day :) The sponge cake is bomb and they have various bubble teas too.

All of the episodes are on Youtube and if you’re a nostalgic reality show nerd like me, you’re welcome. For those who aren’t familiar it’s an old MTV show that follows Tommy Hilfiger’s daughter Ally and her bff Jaime around NYC. Watching the daughter of the America-obsessed designer Tommy Hilfiger say she doesn’t understand “American, um, uh, uh, products at all” while scarfing down crudités is truly the “Rich”ness of the show! They say the most insane and dumb shit sincerely and I still love it. A true study on delusion. A horror reality show. Def not for everyone. They dress like we do now so there’s style inspo too if you want to watch it on mute. Some might call it nauseatingly cringe, but I like to live on the edge.
