My Nighttime Skincare Routine

I am back from Hawaii!. Trip recap coming soon! But check out that vacation skin…I am back with my fave nighttime skincare savers. These are my little luxuries that last for a while and make me feel my best. -For a face oil, it does not get better than the Vintner’s Daughter Active Botanical Serum! It is a splurge, but it is BEYOND moisturizing. -Same goes for the Agustinus Bader Rich Cream. This changed the game for me, and can eliminate so many other steps since the ingredients are THAT good.

Sneakers, Forever

4 weeks ago | katiesturino.substack.com | Katie Sturino

Can you feel it? The breeze on your ankles? That spot between where your cropped jean hits and before the top of the shoe and you can feel that fresh fresh air? If you know what I’m talking about you, know the feeling when the seasons change and Spring is FINALLY here. Or you think I’m crazy, lol. With this time of year it’s time to put the boots away, but also recognize that it is not quite time for sandal weather. So what does that mean for your feet?
My Guide to Disney World

1 month ago | katiesturino.substack.com | Katie Sturino

I recently got back from a trip to Disney World with my sister and her kids and I learned so much. Before I left for the trip, I was looking for a concise guide and was pretty overwhelmed. So…in the spirit of sharing, I wanted to recap my trip and then get into it with an expert- my friend Angie Niles of Bright Lights Travel- her Substack is linked here. Angie is an absolute Disney EXPERT, so I am VERY honored to have her here with all of her tips and photos.
The Classic White Tee

1 month ago | katiesturino.substack.com | Katie Sturino

It feels so silly to spend so much on a plain white tee shirt, but here I am telling you that one of my favorite closet staples is a $95.00 pocket tee…but in this economy, we need to get real so I have sourced white tee shirts of all price points below:White Tee #1 is from our old friends at J Crew. Its really good for a fitted tee that isnt too tight and its not see through. We love the price too.

Let's talk denim.

1 month ago | katiesturino.substack.com | Katie Sturino

Denim. I know we have covered this before, but every season I think it’s time for a little refresh. And people, spring is on the horizon, despite the temps and gusty winds we got in NY this week!It’s so elusive…finding the right pair that makes you feel good but is also comfy. For me, you need to be able to SIT in the jean…these aren’t the type that you can only wear at night for 2 hours. Otherwise, what is the point? So I did a little digging and pulled a bunch of faves.
Consistently Inconsistent

1 month ago | katiesturino.substack.com | Katie Sturino

I have never been a consistent person. I am more likely to dive into something head first, hyper focus on it, talk about it all the time, and then never touch it again. Is this my undiagnosed ADD? Maybe? Let’s put a pin in that though and get back to the fact that being inconsistent has been the most consistent feedback I have gotten in my life.
