I’m not shy about my skincare obsessions. Quite the opposite, I always welcome new finds into my routine and a few of the things on my radar right now are Cetaphil’s hyaluronic-rich hydrating products, specifically their day cream, night cream, and eye cream. We’ve all trusted Cetaphil since... the dawn of time? And, this hydrating line is the latest cult favorite to add to your line-up, bringing in the power of hyaluronic acid, which I will be discussing at length again very soon—so stay tuned for another Skincare Memo later this week!

Fans of goop recipes will no doubt want to dive into this Summer Watermelon & Ceviche Salad with reckless abandon. It’s a trip to the farmer’s market on a plate (but feel free to source your ingredients at like... the grocery store), amped up with ginger, coconut cream, and chilis for a truly fresh flavor combination. Personally, I like to top it off with a little crumbled feta, too, because I'm never lacking in reasons to add cheese.

I recently asked everyone on instastories to share their favorite can’t-live-without lip products and this was by far the most-recommended product. I’ve heard about the Dior Addict Lip Glow Color Reviving Lip Balm for YEARS and know it’s a total cult favorite but for some reason had never really tried it until now. Needless to say, I finally get the hype. Super moisturizing with a touch of color, the balm comes in an amazing line-up of shades and finishes that are flattering on every skin tone.

I've raved about Sarah Flint's essential footwear before and am excited to have just added another beauty to my collection from the brand: these classic white slingbacks. Unsurprisingly, they're every bit as well-made and comfortable as the classic Sarah Flint "perfect" pumps and I look forward to wearing them through fall. If the timeless, impossibly chic brand looks familiar, it should—Meghan Markle can often be spotted wearing them!

Are you familiar with Local Eclectic? Okay, get comfortable. Local Eclectic is a site that’s all about making fine jewelry accessible. Literally, that’s their motto. If you love delicate jewelry with creative stonework that’s basically begging to be worn stacked on every finger, every day, bookmark this. The price points are...dare I say it, fair? Too often fine jewelry is priced sky-high, and carries with it the notion that all we can do is love it from afar. Local Eclectic wants you to wear that rose gold stacking ring with pear-shaped morganite, and to prove it they’ve priced it at a cool $78.

I know, we need another handbag obsession like we need a third kneecap, but hear me out: JW Pei bags are stunning, beautifully structured, affordable, and made of vegan leather and recycled bottles. Yes, recycled bottles. I absolutely love each bag design and can't get over all of their fun colorways. Try to pick a favorite, let me know how that works out for you. Bonus: 10% of the brand’s profits are donated to animal sanctuaries around the world, and those funds go toward improving animal quality of life. Take my money.

I’m now stuck on Local Eclectic’s site. LOVE stackable rings.
chevrons & éclairs
I’ve worn Mejuri for years and love that brand as well! They have very different items, so for fine gold bands, yes, I think Mejuri is the way to go. For other things, I love Local Eclectic!
Thanks for the tip about the bags. It’s great to have a Vegan option that isn’t too Boho for work.
Agreed!! Love the structure of their designs.
I love Cetaphil so much!

It’s arguably the most delicious thing I’ve made this summer. SO GOOD.
…been using Cetaphil and Aveeno since college, 20 years! #extremelyunderrated I literally cannot use another kind of soap on my skin. I dare not travel without it! I will buy 5 or 6 bars at a time, just so I never risk running out.
I am obsessed with the throw in your photo!! Any suggestions on where I can find one like it? Thank you ever so much!
It’s an old stock photo, so I don’t actually own that throw. However, I believe you can find throws like that on Etsy. They’re so cool, I need to find one myself!!
Thank you so much for these amazing tips. It’s always a pleasure to read you. The recipe looks amazing, I have to try for sure, I really love ceviche is so refreshing, it’s great for summer.

I did visit Local Eclectic’s website, they have very pretty jewelry. Customer service, not so pretty. I found that their website consistently timed out while ordering. But I persisted, and bought six bracelets, for six friends, to mark a special occasion. The jewelry arrived in ONE gift box. One for six people. When I contacted them I was told that they did that as an environmental gesture. I felt blindsided, and did not go out of my way to tell my friends where I got the bracelets. I consider this poor marketing and poor customer service.
I’m so sorry to hear that! I’ve only purchased individual items in the past. Hope your friends enjoyed the bracelets anyway!
They did, thank you.
