Everything I Do (And DON’T Do) In Fall To Look My Best At 36

My full fall edit: everything I do, and everything I've stopped doing, to look and feel my best at 36. Your skin changes in fall, your makeup should change with it, and the workouts that got you through summer probably aren't what you need now.

We cover my fall skincare routine and why I only book lasers this season, the warm toned makeup I've switched to, my signature perfume and how I layer scents, the fall fashion trends I'm actually wearing, my high protein chili and chia pudding recipes, training four days a week instead of six, and how I make the house feel cozy for the season.
