Gothamista + Stylevanna = ❤ Happy New Year 🎉
Just got the APLB lotion. Glad it’s on your list. Really love your essence. Any chance you will collaborate on new products?
Hi Renee! 😊 Awesome clay mask stick. Thank you for all your advice!
How long were you sick? I have been since Dec 14th and still dealing with. 2025 has Got to get better. Well wishing and many blessings! ❤
The Haruharu Black Rice Probiotic Essence is indeed a gem! It feels amazing on the skin. I use it at night and my skin looks and feels so beautifully hydrated in the morning.

That haru haru cream is magic. It seems dense but goes on like a gel cream. It’s also so calming and gentle that I can even use it after procedures.
You are the first content creator who discussed the content of retinal in KSecret. I have even asked. Thank you for sharing that information and your other recommendations.
Both KSecret & Dr Different Vitalift-A are both really good for those starting with it. 🫰☺️
Happy New Year!!! Glad you mentioned APLB. I think of it as a Korean brand similar to the Ordinary. The glutathione serum & Tranexamic acid niacinamide serum are my current faves. I’m curious about their Collagen EGF Peptide serum?
For all my combo/sensitive twins, look out for alcohol, fruit extracts, and fragrance in the full ingredient list. They will cause irritation! 🥰
Thank you as always for your insights! 🫰🫰🫰
🎉🎉 thank you for the discount! I love your sweater!
I totally agree that this Haru Haru Wonder essence is wonderful, it is so replenishing, it is a stable part of my routine, I have tried many essences for 10 years that I have been using Korean cosmetics and I had never tried an essence with such a unique texture, so luxurious and so rich, it is wonderful for my dry skin with rosacea. I love it 🥰
Idk if it’s the lighting but the way your hair looks like it goes from a dark color to a lighter color looks really nice :) :) :) very nice :)
I’m so happy to see the APLB body lotion ! 🥰It’s such a good product the bumps on my skin are going away and letting me with a super soft skin ~ It’s also a super affordable brand ! You should try other product from the same line they are all so good! My personal favorites are the serum and the mist for the face! (body favorite is obvious 😄)
Among the new brands, I really like aplb. I have already tried many products, but among their new products, the cleansing balm is something! It has a cooling effect, for me, this is a discovery of this year. It smells very nice and removes stubborn makeup well. I highly recommend trying it!
Perfect picks Renee , actually already using everything you mentioned & they are all favourites ❤Love them even more now ❤❤❤
APLB Bakuchiol and Propolis Cream is fantastic product for normal to dry skin, I love it🥰
i remember this one night i was scrolling aimlessly, feeling like i had hit rock bottom. it felt like nothing i wanted was ever going to happen for me. i don’t know why, but i clicked on this link about the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it drew me in. the more i read, the more i felt like it was written just for me. it’s wild how much a single book can change your perspective.
a while back, i hit a point where i felt like everything was out of my control. i kept wondering why other people seemed to get what they wanted while i was stuck in the same place. then i came across this book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. i wasn’t expecting much, but the way it explains the connection between your energy and the life you create? it blew my mind. it’s not just a book, it’s like a blueprint for turning your life around.
so there was this period in my life when i kept attracting the wrong people, wrong opportunities, everything just felt…off. i couldn’t figure out why it kept happening. then one day, a friend mentioned a book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, saying it helped them see the patterns they didn’t even realize they had. i decided to give it a read, and wow, it opened my eyes to how much my own energy was shaping my life. seriously, this book is something else.
Thank you Renee greeting from the Netherlands
