Winter 2026 skin care routine

Winter skin care from top left: day cream / eye cream / night cream / hand cream / body cream / neck cream / face wash /

This winer season hasn’t been as dry as in the past. So, I am keeping the same skin care routine from the fall season, with the exception of moving to a fragrance-free body cream.

As you know, I have been using Revive skin care for well over twenty years. I love their products and can’t praise them enough. If you haven’t tried their skin care, what are you waiting for? I also love their face wash, which is gentle and cleansing. My teens use it too!

Since I love switching up my fragrance each day, this fragrance-free body cream is perfect. It does not compete with my perfume and keeps my skin moisturized. Love it!

Did you change your skin care this winter season? Or did you find your fall routine works perfectly this year?

Blue nail polish for spring

Blue nail polish from left: pale blue nail polish / navy blue nail polish /

Blue is one of the trending colors for 2026, and blue nail polish will be a hot trend for spring 2026. Love!

Chanel will be releasing the spring 2026 beauty collection any day now, and the nail polish will be blue! The color will look similar to past sparkling, medium blue nail polishes released by Chanel. Stay tuned for my review coming very soon!

In the meantime, any shade of blue goes! If you prefer dark or light over medium, these two blue nail polish hues are right for you. Love them!

Which blue nail polish for spring do you prefer?

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for the new spring blue coming up soon!

YSL Libre Florals and Flames edp review

pictured: YSL Libre Floral and Flames edp 1 oz bottle / nail polish /

I am in love with YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp for the spring and summer seasons! Possibly beyond! Although categorized as a fresh floral, this acts as a spicy floral when on the skin. I am in love!

YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp combines fragrance notes of palm-tree flower accord, lily flower accord, vanilla, and orange blossom accord. This creates a warm, spicy floral experience perfect for warm weather; and also moderate temps. Love!

Since this is an eau de parfum formula, YSL Libre Floral & Flames lasts about ten hours on my skin. The spicy scent ends sooner, around six hours, and then you are left with a beautiful warm floral fragrance for the remaining, roughly four hours.

There are a few sizes of the YSL Libre Floral & Flames edp fragrance available, including a travel size you can take on airplanes. Love that! I purchased the one-ounce bottle, which is pictured above.

So, if you are looking for a new spicy floral, this is the one! It will also make a fabulous gift. Love!

Thanks for stopping by!

XOXO
