Things I genuinely love.
Curated, honest, lived-in.
A running edit of the products, places, tools, and experiences I keep returning to — travel-tested, genuinely used, never sponsored without belief.
Shelf staples
Skincare
Daily SPF Routine
The non-negotiable — a tinted sunscreen that photographs beautifully and works through humidity and travel.
Haircare
Overnight Treatment
For long-haul flights and hotel pillows — restores shine without weight.
Makeup
Minimal Edit
Three products that do the work of ten — a tinted balm, brow gel, and setting spray.
Always in the bag
Travel
Carry-On Edit
The exact kit that has survived three years of international travel without a checked bag.
Tech
Camera Setup
What I actually shoot with on trips — lightweight, versatile, and reliable in low light.
Stays
Hotel Finds
The properties I keep recommending — boutique, characterful, and worth every peso.
“Everything here I have bought, used, and chosen to keep. Nothing I wouldn’t recommend to a close friend.”
