As I sit here in 2025, reflecting on my journey from a new face on Summer House to embracing my own spotlight, it's incredible how life has unfolded. Back in 2023, I launched the ShimmerGirl collab with Vaseline and Lover Boy, a project that still resonates today—it was all about inner and outer radiance. Now, two years later, I'm more focused than ever on sharing what keeps me glowing through the ups and downs. From battling winter blues to finding joy in small moments, my story is a tapestry of self-care and authenticity. Let me take you through it, starting with the simple tricks that transform dull days into shimmering adventures. 😊

My Go-To Beauty Rituals for That Effortless Glow

People often ask, "How do you maintain that dewy skin year-round?" Well, it all boils down to hydration and a touch of sparkle. My absolute must-have is the Vaseline Glazed & Glisten Gel Oil. It's like a protective shield against the harsh elements—imagine your skin as a delicate flower in a storm, and this gel oil is the sturdy greenhouse keeping it safe and nourished. I slather it on daily, even when I'm just lounging at home, because it hydrates deeply and adds that extra shimmer. For a quick confidence boost, I pair it with a spray tan—life-changing, I tell you! But here's a quirky tip I learned the hard way: never pee in the shower after a tan, or it'll wash away like sandcastles in the tide. 🏖️

Another staple in my routine is the Lawless Forget the Filler Lip Gloss. I'm on my fourth tube now—it's that good! The Juicy Watermelon shade is perfect for summer vibes, while Cherry Vanilla adds a warm tint for cooler months. It tastes divine, too. Here's a quick list of my top beauty picks for 2025:

  • Vaseline Gel Oil: Hydrates and glistens.

  • Spray Tan: Instant bronzed goddess effect.

  • Lawless Lip Gloss: Long-lasting shine and flavor.

  • Bronzing Drops: For buildable color.

Daily Habits That Keep Me Grounded

When it comes to skincare, consistency is my mantra. I've battled acne for years, and sticking to a routine is like tending to a fragile ecosystem—one misstep, and everything unravels. I use a thicker moisturizer in winter and keep makeup minimal off-camera. If there's no filming, my face is bare! Music is my therapy, though. Right now, I'm obsessed with Olivia Dean's "Man I Need," playing it on repeat until Kyle begs for mercy. It's my way of drowning out the noise. 🎶

Bad days? I've learned to embrace them. Instead of guilt-tripping myself, I treat them as a cozy cocoon—a chance to binge-watch shows or order takeout. Tomorrow is always a fresh start, like a blank canvas waiting for new strokes. This mindset shift has been revolutionary.

Passions, Friends, and That Bangs Adventure

I'm a sucker for psychological thrillers like "The Girlfriend" or "The Woman in Cabin 10." Lately, I've been rewatching Grey's Anatomy—it's my comfort zone. For beauty treatments, I'm exploring lasers and peels to tackle dark spots and fine lines. Face Gym facials are a winter savior, especially when I'm feeling puffy. It's like a reset button for my skin! 💆‍♀️

Hanging out with the Salt Lake City women is pure joy. They're iconic—strong, powerful, and a bit nutty, like a whirlwind of fireworks lighting up the night. I cherish friendships with Lisa, Heather, and Meredith; their support is my rock. As for my hair, after years of hesitation, I finally got those fringy bangs in 2023. Styling them is still a work in progress, but I'm a long-hair girl forever, with extensions for extra thickness. It's my signature look!

Fashion and Confidence: My Simple Formula

My wardrobe is overflowing with denim—jeans are my uniform. For outfits, I stick to a foolproof combo: T-shirt, sweater, suede bomber jacket, and loafers or boots. It's effortless chic. Beyond clothes, confidence comes from within and my circle. The Vaseline Gel Oil gives an instant lift, but my friends are the real magic—they hype me up like cheerleaders at a championship game. As a Leo, I crave compliments but shy from the spotlight; it's a paradox, like a shy lion roaring softly. 🦁

In wrapping up, life in 2025 is about balance—glowing skin, good vibes, and genuine connections. What's your secret to turning a rough day into a radiant one?
