Selfcare, romanticizing your routines, and purchasing with purpose have been trending topics of conversation for some time now, but with so many different products, points, and opinions, it can be overwhelming to jump in.

As Dani took us through the bright and colorful Sephora isles, it was refreshing to see her passion for each product that she pulled for us.
