Ciara Miller’s Black and White Turtleneck

Winter House Season 1 Episode 3 Fashion

I am absolutely loving that Winter House is airing so close to winter. One reason is because it’s occupying my time since there’s not much to do (though I’d love it anytime of year). The other reason is because we can get major cold weather outfit inspo. Such as Ciara Miller’s black and white turtleneck. I mean it is so cute and so simple and would go with just about anything. It’s a bummer it’s sold out (site says “coming soon” ). But thankfully there are great Style Stealers below that are perfect for welcoming into your Winter House Closet.

Sincerely Stylish,

Jess

A face serum is a must-have step in any skincare routine. Serums deliver all the beneficial ingredients your skin needs to stay healthy. While there are tons of different serum concoctions out there, there’s one serum that multitasks like no other. It also happens to be one of the most in-demand serums of the moment. 

Eighth Day’s Regenerative Serum has sold out five times in the past two months, so it truly is selling like hotcakes. 

Formulated with the help of skincare expert Dr. Antony Nakhla, a board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon, Eighth Day truly seems like it does nothing but positive things for your complexion.

You might want to buckle up, because there are loads of ingredients and functions that make this serum such an MVP and fan-favorite. The formula is enriched with clinical strength ingredients that have high concentration levels—the stronger, the better applies to skincare, too. The scientific terms might not make sense at first, but keep reading and we’ll break down the various layers of this best-selling, all-in-one serum. Just make sure you don’t dillydally, because this skincare product is likely already on its way to going out of stock for its sixth time.

Here’s the low-down on the Regenerative Serum. First of all, the name is truly spot on in that the powerful formula is formulated to sink deep into your pores, right where your cells are, to energize and renew your skin cells. Additionally, the hero ingredient, a Peptide-Rich Plasma that includes 24 bioidentical synthetic peptides, growth factors, and amino acids, copies the unique molecules found in your skin cells to renew and restore.

That is some pretty advanced science going on, but a few other anti-aging ingredients you’ll definitely recognize include hydrating hyaluronic acid, exfoliating glycolic acid, and healing Manuka honey. This trio makes for some seriously soothing, lifting, and plumping effects that’ll have you questioning if you got Botox in your sleep. Top that all off with niacinamide, which reduces the appearance of pores, protects the skin barrier, repairs previous damage, and calms the skin, and you have yourself a serum you won’t want to waste a drop of. 

Once these beneficial skincare ingredients penetrate deep into your skin, then what? Well, you might notice some or all of the 10 most visible skin concerns starting to improve. Some of the main ones this serum targets are fine lines and wrinkles, dehydration, redness, dullness, and loss of firmness and elasticity, among others. Not to mention, it achieves all of this while remaining vegan and cruelty-free, as well as without any gluten, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, GMOs, PEGs, and fragrance.

Eighth Day’s Regenerative Serum is sold exclusively at Violet Grey, and because it can sell out with the snap of a finger, we suggest you place your order now. Though it may cost a pretty penny, the expertise, quality ingredients, and results are just too good to pass up.

Victoria Beckham has been influencing beauty, fashion, and pop culture from her Spice Girls days all the way up to now. We look to her when we want to know which lip color to choose, but besides her signature makeup, she has a flawless complexion, too. Beckham is skin goals, and I think we’d all love to know the secret weapon that gives her that youthful glow.

In a recent interview with Byrdie, she unveiled some of her beauty mainstays, and one hero product that stood out to us is a super soothing moisturizing cream.

“For night, if I am feeling super dry, I use Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream,“ she said. This celeb-favorite anti-aging moisturizer that Jennifer Aniston, Gigi Hadid, and Kim Kardashian are all fans of, so it’s no surprise that Beckham also keeps this staple in her rotation. 

This plumping moisturizer uses the power of omega fatty acids and hyaluronic acid to moisturize and put life back into dull skin. The formula is packed to the brim with all sorts of skin saviors, which makes sense given that it’s crafted by one of the world’s most renowned skincare experts.

The brain behind the brand, Professor Augustinus Bader, is a globally recognized biomedical scientist and physician, and also a pioneer in stem cell research. So, while there’s a ton of scientific jargon involved with The Rich Cream, let us explain how it has become such a hit with Beckham and loads of other celebs.

The brand’s patented TFC8 technology remains at the heart of what makes this cream so effective. It triggers the stem cells you already have to repair and renew your skin. This complex engages natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules to help minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful and radiant complexion. 

Combatting visible signs of aging is definitely at the top of this cream’s agenda, but moisturizing is right there with it. The formula enlists hyaluronic acid to plump your skin and help it retain moisture better. Meanwhile, omega fatty acids, linoleic acid, and evening primrose oil also moisturize and soothe your skin. The product is vegan, gluten-free, and GMO-free, as well. 

If you want to really get the full Beckham skincare experience, she also revealed to Byrdie that her own products, the Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum and the Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer, have completely transformed her skin.

It’s easy to see how this line-reducing, skin-softening cream rose to fame among practically everyone in Hollywood. Take a page from Beckham and incorporate the one-of-a-kind anti-aging Rich Cream into your skincare routine, too.

Gratitude. A simple word. One we think we understand, and in the general sense, we do. But what we often fail to understand is the power of gratitude in our lives. Not just the feel-good power, but the actual benefit to our very practical, everyday lives.

You see, what we experience in life has a great deal to do with our perspective, with what we choose to focus on, day in, day out. Study after study shows that people who choose to focus with gratitude on the events of their daily lives, big and small, tend to be happier, healthier and live longer.

Grateful people are more optimistic. They see the pluses in their lives, rather than dwelling on the minuses. The result? Grateful people have stronger immune systems, better cardiovascular health, and as result, can more often than not, live longer.

Many Reasons to Be Grateful

Coming out of the pandemic, however haltingly, what can we be grateful for? For example, I am grateful that I have strengthened certain friendships. With the ease and benefit of Zoom, and my work having fallen away so much over the past year and a half, I had the time, means, and the desire, to connect with friends I otherwise met up with on a far less frequent basis.

Other friendships I let quietly slip away into oblivion, as I realized they were not that relevant to my life, nor mine to theirs. A realization I may not have come to where I am without the luxury of time to think on these things.

I am infinitely more grateful, as our activities resume, for the ballroom dancing I missed so much through the long months of social isolation. Sure, we’re still masked, and must be vaccinated, but these seem like minor inconveniences compared to the renewed joy of dance.

Bonnie Bowen, at 91, is no doubt grateful for her renewed ability to do what she loves best – paint. Over the past many months, Bonnie painted whimsical renditions of life as we experienced it during the pandemic.

Charming, uplifting paintings, appreciated by many as Bonnie’s daughter posted them on Facebook. Bonnie contracted Covid, but recovered well, and was able to resume her beloved art after a mere three weeks of being off-line.

Everyday Gratitude

We don’t need disastrous experiences to engage our sense of gratitude. Indeed, life is full of opportunities to be grateful, from the very moment we open our eyes in the morning to when we shut them in sleep.

The sun rose. There’s something to be grateful for. Your eyes opened. Another thing to be grateful for. Because whatever’s going on in your life, you have an opportunity to make it better this new day, even if it’s already wonderful. Whatever family, or friends, or pets you have in your life, these are beings to be grateful for. The list goes on and on.

If you really want to reap the benefits of gratitude, generate a “list of things I am grateful for” every day, what some call “count your blessings.” I write mine out by hand every morning. It doesn’t take but a couple of minutes, yet that simple exercise sets me up for the day on a positive note.

You can certainly type yours into your mobile or computer, but writing by hand seems to imbed things more powerfully into our minds.

Whatever your choice, remember that gratitude matters. Let it take a bigger place in your mind and heart, and enjoy the many benefits it brings.

What are you grateful for right now? Have you been grateful for something that surprised you? If so, what? What has the pandemic shown you about gratitude?

If you follow actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell on any social media platform, you know she doesn’t do anything small. Her dedication to TikTok is impressive on its own. Even Mitchell’s beauty routine is a bit extra. In a new Vogue Beauty Secrets video, she shows her 58-step (!!!) routine, which includes many, many, many masks. I thought Madelaine Petsch’s 38-step one was the longest! Shay Mitchell really said, hold my purse.

Mitchell uses a lot of my favorite skincare throughout the routine. She starts off with Shani Darden Skin Care Cleansing Serum ($38 at Net-a-Porter), which is great for sensitive skin. “This cleanser is super gentle,” Mitchell says. “It’s like the perfect sort of balance for my skin.” Then, she quickly goes into applying six sheet masks on her face, chest and breasts. “Now, you’re gonna see quite a few masks and the reason why I like them is just because I feel like they’re very hydrating,” she continues. “I put them on, I don’t have to think about it. I love the drama of it. I think I look funny. I like to scare people when I’m traveling, especially, or when I’m just at home.”

Yes, we love the drama, too.

She starts with the Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Face Gels with Extensin and Peptides ($36 at Amazon). Then, she adds on the Patchology Lip Renewal FlashPatch 5-Minute Hydrogels ($15 at Ulta), but takes them off after a few minutes so she can keep talking. Next comes the 111SKIN Anti Blemish Bio Cellulose Facial Mask ($135 at Nordstrom). She doesn’t like to waste a drop of the luxe formula so she applies the leftover onto her neck and chest.

Oh, she doesn’t stop there. Next comes the Avajar Perfect V-Lifting Premium Mask ($34.20 at Amazon). To finish her face, she puts the Honest Reusable Magic Silicone Sheet Mask ($14.99 at Target) on top to keep it all tight and tucked in, and rubs Nurse Jamie Uplift Facial Massaging Beauty Roller ($69 at Amazon) to smooth it all together.

Her final mask is for the delicate skin on her chest area: Booby Tape 24K Gold Breast Masks ($27 at Booby Tape). “Your boobs need love too, you know?” she says. “Especially if you’re going on an event and you have a low-cut dress.” Amen.
