IN MY DM’S NO. 3
You asked, I’m answering. My DMs are always a mix of product recs, life advice, and the occasional “Where did you get that?!” moment. So, I’m bringing it all here—your most-asked questions, my current obsessions, and the little gems I’d text a bestie. Consider this your insider pass to everything I’m loving, learning, and living for right now. Keep the questions coming—this is our corner of the internet, after all. 💌✨
This Week’s Hot Takes:
WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT SKINCARE MVP?
My regimen is much more basic then usual as I’m on prescriptions for hormonal acne but since I’ve been making progress I’ve integrated a few new products that I really love. My current favorites would have to be the 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum from Paula’s Choice ($65). The serum helps even out skin tone and it also has glutathione, which keeps my skin calm and adds antioxidants to protect it. The formula is light and hydrating, and it gives me that fresh, glowing look. It’s super gentle and it has made a big difference in how my skin looks and feels!
WHAT BAG ARE YOU USING EVERYDAY RIGHT NOW?
For everyday use, I’m loving the Vegan Suede Slouchy Tote ($69.95) from the Gap. It’s under $100 and fits everything—yes, including my laptop! It’s like the modern-day Mary Poppins bag. For nighttime, I can’t get enough of my YSL Voltaire Top Handle in emerald green patent leather. I picked it up as a treat while in Japan, and while it’s a splurge, I always say—you are worth it!
FAVORITE LIP COMBO?
My current lip combo is a total fave. I start with Lippie Pencil Smooth Glide-On Lip Liner ($7) in BFF, then layer Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour ($26) in Burnt Spice (I've been wearing this since my Knicks City Dancer days!). To finish, I add a touch of Rhode Peptide Lip Tint ($18) in Toast for a perfect, hydrated pout. This is going to give you the perfect nude lip.
What’s your advice for someone starting a side hustle?
My best advice is to stay consistent, even when it feels like no one is watching. Build a routine, stay organized, and invest in learning new things that will help you grow. Networking is also key, connect with others in your space, even if it’s just a casual chat. Trust me, it all pays off in the long run.What’s one thing that instantly makes you feel put together?
Slicked-back hair, a good perfume, and oversized sunglasses. No one will ever know if you’re thriving or just faking it till you make it. My current favorite sunglasses are these Loewe Signature Acetate and Metal Cat Eye Sunglasses.
What's something you've learned about relationships and dating that you wish more people understood?
One of the biggest things I've learned about relationships and dating is that it's all about growth, communication, and mutual support. No relationship is perfect, and it’s normal to go through ups and downs. But what really matters is the commitment to understanding each other, even when it gets tough. I talk about this a lot in the episode I recorded with my husband on our second wedding anniversary and his 40th birthday. We dive deep into how we've navigated those moments of growth together, the lessons we’ve learned, and the importance of creating a partnership that's rooted in trust, love, and respect. It’s definitely an episode close to my heart, and I think a lot of people can relate to our story. I’ve linked it here if you want to have a listen.
That’s it for this week’s In My DM’s! Keep the questions coming, and who knows—yours might be featured next. 💌✨
