How would you describe yourself as a creator?
“As a creator I think I’m very multifaceted and I love to create what feels right in the moment whether that be a get ready with me or showing my current favorite breakfast! I love to do chatty videos, lip sync to silly trending audios here and there, and film aesthetic product videos as well!”
What led you to join the beauty community?
“I’ve been super into skincare and beauty ever since middle school. I’d beg my parents for ProActiv, Clean & Clear, all the popular brands of that time to help with my teen acne. Once I got older I went to school for chemistry and started to dive deeper into ingredients and what I should be using for my skin. I wanted to start creating content for so long and was always too shy to start. I’m so glad I finally did it! Creating beauty content has been a very fulfilling creative outlet for me. When I started it was during COVID time back in 2020 and after long days working in the lab I loved getting home and creating! As I researched products and tried new things, I wanted to share my experiences with others. It’s also an amazing to have made awesome friends in the beauty community who share the same passion!”

What are your top three beauty products of the moment?
“Summer Fridays Skin Tint has been my go to for every day, leaves my skin looking like skin, has light coverage and pairs perfectly with my next top product which is… the Summer Fridays Shade Drops sunscreen! It’s a mineral sunscreen that melts into my skin effortlessly and works perfectly under my makeup. My third top product is the Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment. I can’t function without a lip balm and I’ve been using this one non-stop lately! It’s rich and nourishing and tastes like orange creamsicle!”

Do you have a game changing beauty tip that leveled up your makeup or skincare routine?
“This isn’t a brand new tip but what totally leveled up my skincare game was skin cycling! Giving my skin designated days for retinols, chemical exfoliation, and enough rest days in between to keep my skin barrier strong and healthy completely changed my skin for the better!”
