The Vanity Edit

I am an aggressive consumer, but a picky one. These are the things that survived the most recent purge of my bathroom counter. I’ve reached a point where I only want to look at objects that serve a purpose or feel particularly special to use. This is the current state of my morning routine. The six items I actually touched today before leaving the house.

1. La Bonne Brosse. The N.01. An investment yes, but it’s the only brush that treats my scalp like skincare. This has been a key player in my journey to healthy hair and now I look forward to brushing my hair because it feels so good.

2. Rhode Pocket Blush. My favorite shade is "Piggy". It's the perfect baby pink and I keep one in my bag and one here. This is the only formula that doesn’t feel like makeup and it blends like a dream.

3. Phlur Hair & Body Mist. Heavy Cream and Vanilla Skin. I like to layer them. In fact I have only worn these two scents together. They just work for me.

4. Acetate Hair Sticks. I buy these in bulk. Literally. This pack actually comes with french hair pins too, which I love. I've been trying to avoid putting my hair up too tight or using hair ties and these are the perfect alternative.

5. Bread Hair Oil. For the ends of my hair every single morning. Nothing else. A couple of drops go such a long way.

6. Aesop Resurrection Hand Balm. The scent is non-negotiable at this point. But what I love the most is how this formula leaves your hands hydrated, not greasy.
