Currently Into!
I’ve been inspired by other estheticians (shout out to @dearlashlove & @thewaxingaries) to do a lil monthly round up of my fave things from this past month!
1. The Wim Hof Method book by Wim Hof:
I’ve made it a goal to read more this year and wow this book absolutely blew me away! Often, trying to cultivate a meditation practice can feel overwhelming & or sometimes downright “boring” (happens to me all the time!) The Wim Hof method involves specific breathing techniques that are easy to follow. His three main pillars are focused on the breath, cold exposure, & mindset. At first glance he can appear to be an outlier, or an anomaly. But the more you learn of Wim Hof, the more you understand we are all able to tap into these practices to become more healthy & happy individuals! I have been rabbit-holing a lot about stress, inflammation, & the enormous power we all carry to help heal ourselves in many ways. This books fits beautifully & science has backed him up with many studies showing the true healing possible within his practices. I highly recommend it!
2. Roccoco Botanicals Clarity Kit:
Last month, I was lucky enough to attend a 3 day Roccoco Botanicals training class & receive this facial kit. There were two versions & one is sold out at the moment. The Clarity Kit is still available (I also have a few in person!), and it’s an absolute stunner. Roccoco put a lot of thought & love into this gorgeous kit, and it really shows! The ultimate at home facial transformation offering & this one is designed for acne prone skin. Helping to reduce acne & calm redness + inflammation. The charcoal mask is also amazing for spot treating acne! However anyone can use this lovely cleanser, enzyme, & overnight recovery mask. So if you want a lovely at home treatment & have occasional breakouts, this kit can def still be for you! Just loving it right now <3
Kit Contains:
Ruby Crystal Cleanser 1oz, Berry Biotic Enzyme 1.7oz, Charcoal Clarity Mask 1.7oz, & Overnight Recovery Mask 1.7oz. Also includes a limited edition Roccoco branded headband + gorgeous limited edition Roccoco bamboo bowl, spatula, & brush. note: below photo shows Cookies & Cream mask which is not featured in the Clarity Kit.
3. Lavender Matcha Lattes:
I’ve been making matcha lattes at home for the last few years! I stopped drinking coffee at that time because it was often raising my heartrate & I would just end up feeling overly anxious (although I did just indulge in a very fancy macchiato on Thanksgiving vacay lol) I don’t plan on drinking much coffee still though! Instead, I really enjoy the ritual of making matcha in the mornings. I love Ippodo matcha & during quarantine I stumbled on @veggiekins page & saw her matcha at home tutorials Now, I feel I’ve leveled up again using a lavender simple syrup in my hot matcha lattes. So freaking good! ps: I bought it at 1748 Bakehouse in my neighorhood!
4. Omnilux LED Face Mask:
I’ve been talking & posting a lot about LED light therapy lately. But for good reason my witches! Such a wonderful & holistic modality that you can now incorporate at home! This particular LED face mask benefits are a reduction in fine lines & wrinkles, calm redness & inflammation, improve skin firmness & overall health. Absolutely loving the ease of the Omnilux mask. It doesn’t have to be plugged into a wall and only takes 10 minutes a session 3-5x a week! LED results for skin are cumulative & the more you use it consistently, the happier your skin will be!
As always if you have any questions let me know! Hope you all are taking care of yourselves as we continue through this holiday season!
Love,
Katie
