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 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!

i have chronically dry skin, like, sahara dessert dry, and can never find a good strong moisturiser. bought this on a whim 2 days ago (sale from £35 to £9) and WOOOOW!!! for the first time ever my skin is baby soft and my acne has cleared up a bit, which is amazing for just 2 days. if you're hesitant to buy it i'd advise to just go ahead, unless you're allergic to shellfish or dustmites!

Would you like stupid good hair? My friend Mara is not only an incredible stylist, but she made this ridiculously amazing hair oil that smells like jasmine, vetiver, and citron-kissed heaven. It’s the only product that has ever made my hair look genuinely cute cute air-dried. I scrunch it into my waves after showering and have to fight the urge to slather my whole body in it. Mara, if you’re reading, please make a perfume, too!

I grew up in a small Texas town in the evangelical church community. While I am not here to delve into the finer points of that belief system, I will say it was not for me.
Krista Tippett’s "On Being" podcast is what I wish church had felt like — deeply inquisitive, soul-affirming, and full of tender wisdom. Some of my favorite episodes are those with Mary Oliver, Thich Nhat Hanh, adrienne maree brown, and John O’Donohue. Also, Krista’s voice is 10/10 a hug in vocal form.
