Taking time to put on makeup every day is the closest I get to meditating, and I'm always seeking a glowy, natural nirvana. I like to keep my makeup and hair looks pretty simple—base products that make me look more awake, hair care that enhances my natural waves—paired with bolder fragrances and nail polish picks.

Plus, as someone with dry skin and lots of tattoos, I could never have too many hydrating body products in my medicine cabinet. See below to shopMy Beauty Edit, a destination where you can shop the products that help maintain a simple, hydrated life.\xa0

When you take the stone out of the box, it is covered in muslin cloth. (Each one of these lotions is mixed in the Kate McLeod "kitchen." The founder actually used to be a chef!) I remove the wrap and give it a few seconds to warm up in my hands. Then, I take the edge and begin to rub it against my skin. Once the bar becomes slippery, I use the flat side to hit every ashy crevice and bumpy surface on my body. The result is a cocoa-coating that glistens without being greasy.

Whenever I feel like I’ve earned a fancy treat, I serve myself a glass of wine in my Estelle Colored Wine Stemware. I recently received the iridescent set as a gift and it is gorgeous!

Rainbow Blackby Maggie Thrash

One book I devoured recently wasRainbow Blackby Maggie Thrash: It centers around the ’90s Satanic Panic and is described as “part murder mystery, part gay international fugitive love story.” Basically, my perfect summer read.

World's Best Cat Litter

Between my full-time cats and the cats I foster, I never have fewer than five cats in my house. I swear by World's Best Cat Litter for keeping things as unstinky as possible.
