Hello, darlings! Welcome to the June edition of my Hot Rich Auntie Approved picks.

From wellness travel hacks to skincare products that promise a radiant glow, these picks will have you living your best, most fabulous life. So, pour yourself a glass of N/A bubbly, sit back, and let's dive into the ultimate guide to June's indulgences.
what i’m using
SKINBYVEE GUA SHA CRYO STICKS: Hot rich aunties don’t just love rituals, they live by them, and this is one I’ve grown to adore. I was introduced to these by Vee herself. Vee is an incredible celebrity aesthetician based out of Toronto, Miami, and sometimes New York. SKINBYVEE GUA SHA CRYO STICKS were custom-designed to help move lymph, sculpt, and lift while calming, soothing, and regulating blood flow through the benefits of cryotherapy. This cold therapy works to constrict capillaries, calming and soothing the skin, and helping to further regulate blood flow and circulation. Vee is coming to NYC soon so hit me up if you would like to experience one of her facials.
ClassPass While Traveling: Did you know that ClassPass is available in 2,500 cities worldwide? Me either. Even while soaking in the Spanish sun, I never missed a beat with my Megaformer classes, all thanks to ClassPass. Being able to seamlessly book my favorite workouts in these European cities that aren’t known for their workout culture came in super clutch given all the jamon I was eating. Now, that's 100% Hot Rich Auntie behavior—staying committed to self-care and wellness no matter where in the world you are!
Clean Skin Club Towels: Using the same towel for your face that you use to dry your body is a big no-no. Your body towel can harbor bacteria, oils, and impurities that can transfer to your delicate facial skin, leading to breakouts and irritation. Instead, elevate your routine with Clean Skin Club Towels. These luxurious, single-use towels are ultra-soft, hygienic, and biodegradable, ensuring your face gets the pristine care it deserves. Trust me, once you make the switch, you’ll see why it’s the ultimate Hot Rich Auntie move for flawless skin!
where I’m going
Solidcore: I've become absolutely obsessed with Solidcore and Megaformer Pilates. These workouts have been game-changers for keeping me strong and toned. There's something so satisfying about feeling the burn and knowing I'm getting stronger each class. You will shake, you will cry, you will want to quit but I promise if you stick with it you will finally have the abs you’ve always wanted but never thought were possible.
what i’m buying
Get ready for an old money summer, but before we dive into that, I simply had to complete my old money fall/winter wardrobe with the pièce de résistance: the double breasted Saint Laurent blazer. Now, if this feels a bit too luxurious for your taste, fear not—I’ve also found two equally chic blazers that are less of a splurge but just as fabulous. More affordable option one if from one of my favorite brands, Helsa, and is currently on sale. The second is from another brand that is much more popular in Europe, Massimo Dutti and is under $200. I am obsessed with Massimo Dutti and this Poplin Blazer. Their price points are unbeatable, quality is insane and everything has a super Euro feel and cut. There’s nothing more old money than that!
reading & listening
Hot rich aunties read and listen to podcasts because we aren't just gorgeous; we're well-informed. At all times, you'll find me reading one non-fiction book to keep my mind sharp, another to fuel my dreams, and indulging in about 100 different podcasts. Here are my recommendations this month:
Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza: How to lose your mind and create a new one…this book is blowing my mind with every page because it proves that you can literally rewire your brain to create a reality of your choosing. It’s a little dry but worth the push through.
The Balance Theory Podcast: Hosted by the insightful Australian lawyer, Erika De Pellegrin, this podcast speaks directly to the struggles we face in modern society: the relentless pursuit of work-life balance and effective time management. Erika's understanding of these challenges shines through in every episode, making it a must-listen for ambitious individuals like us who are determined to carve out a fulfilling life amidst the chaos. Erika will be a guest on World’s Your Oysta in a few weeks so stay tuned for that and in the meantime have a listen or watch on YouTube.
