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.

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.

Cozy Living

Simple things that make everyday life a little more enjoyable.

Celestial Seasonings Sleepytime Tea

Old school, but one of my lifelong favorites. It’s coziness in a cup.
