Books for Midlife & Reinvention
A few books that have inspired me in this season of life.
Awe by Dachner Keltner
This book reminded me that wonder can be found in everyday life, nature, and acts of kindness.
This is one of the best books I’ve read about to create real, sustainable behavior change. Too much, too such almost always leads to burn out. One tiny step at a time can transform your life.
Skincare I Keep Coming Back To
Products I’ve repurchased and continue to enjoy.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream
Lightweight, hydrating, and refreshing, this one I come back to again and again, even though I’ve tried (and liked) others. The one I prefer has a mild, cool water scent. However, there is also an unscented option.
Asterwood Copper Peptides Serum for Face
This is a great product to layer into your skincare routine, after cleansing. It leaves my skin feeling silky and hydrated.
