Fragrance has always been a big deal for me in that just like body wash and deodorant, it has felt like an essential, next logical step in getting oneself ready for the day. I infrequently have a scent that is my signature and rather prefer to switch it up with the change of the seasons or even on a daily basis and occasion at hand. If you’re also in the mood to switch things up, here’s a few of my favorites, both new and considered classics (in my book) that will refresh your scent collection and give the act of getting dressed a newborn zest.
Inspired by the designers’ travels, Proenza Schouler Arizona Eau de Parfum ($130 for the 3 oz bottle; Saks.com); a rich floral accord that includes notes of living white cactus flower and creamy orris accord. As if the scent wasn’t good enough, the gorgeous organic angles of the bottle make quite an artful statement on your vanity.

I have unfortunately found that once depleted, it’s very very difficult to get hair back to its former state of fullness, shine, hydration, and overall luster, but having amazing products at your disposal will begin your journey to reaching your hair goals. I’ve recently been enjoying the hair care offerings from RAHUA by Amazon Beauty (pronounced ra-wa), a line that utilizes centuries-old beauty secrets and ingredients, created with sustainable methods that are gentle on the places of which they are sourced (largely the Amazon rainforest).

I hate to be dramatic, but my hair has really been through hell for the past year. It never became thick and voluptuous, as pregnancy purportedly brings, but in fact became quite dry and…average looking at best. I then found out that my scalp had developed dermatitis, and for the final punch, post-pregnancy is that it is now dull, lifeless, and falls out in fistfuls. Sounds like too much to deal with, right? It certainly has been a bit of a nightmare, but I’ve been hopeful that soon, I will resemble my formal hair self with the help of Vitabrid C¹² Scalp Shampoo.
This formula not only promotes scalp health but works to prevent hair loss and boost volume and shine. Vitamin C is the star ingredient, delivered via a patented system that allows the vitamin to penetrate the scalp over and over for up to 12 hours. The shampoo also includes seven other natural extracts to protect, calm, and moisturize the scalp. It’s free of silicone (why is this even in hair products to begin with?!), parabens, and sulfates, and truly works well with sensitive skin, an issue that can arise (along with insane itchiness) when dealing with scalp issues. The first plan of attack when it comes to correcting hair woes is establishing a healthy scalp, and there’s no better approach than finding a fantastic shampoo, such as the Vitabrid C¹² Scalp Shampoo, for the job!
Vitabrid C¹² Scalp Shampoo retails for $32 at Barneys New York.

Cetaphil has launched some great new products lately, but there are three in particular that I’m simply raving about: Cetaphil Extra Gentle Daily Scrub (around $8.47), Hydrating Eye Gel-Cream (around $8.59), and the Ultra Gentle Body Wash ($7.99).
Let’s start by discussing the scrub: it’s gentle enough that you can use it on your face daily, as the name implies, but possesses the tiniest granules, nearly invisible to the eye, to help promote circulation and cell turnover without any abrasion. It’s great for all skin types, including those of us who have THE most sensitive of them all.
Next up is the eye cream: it makes sense for a brand that is so conscious of skin concerns and issues of all kinds to create a product for the most delicate area of them all – your eyes! This gel-cream is not surprisingly, super safe for contact lens wearers and those with sensitive eyes, in a formula that absorbs with the quick power of a gel, but hydrates like a cream. Hyaluronic acid locks in moisture while Vitamins E & B3 work to soothe and soften around the eyes. If you’ve ever had an eye cream that burned, tingled, and/or made your eyes water, something wasn’t quite right. It’s time to give it another try with an intensively moisturizing, non-irritating formula such as this one!
Last, just like how the eye cream seems to be a natural progression for the Cetaphil brand, so does a body wash! I love the fresh citrus aroma of the new wash, but you can also opt for a fragrance-free version. Both contain aloe vera and Vitamin B5, are dermatologist-tested and hypoallergenic, and ready to be applied to the most dry and easily irritated skin.
It’s now easier than ever to let your skin lead its best life with Cetaphil taking the reins!
