From Glow-Ups to Good Deals: My Favorite Brand Picks

Daily writing prompt

What are your favorite brands and why?

View all responses

My favorite brands are the ones that walk the talk—brands that feel like they were made by real people, for real people, not corporate bots in beige conference rooms.

Let’s start with Voguegenics (obviously). It’s not just my brand—it’s my rebellion against boring wellness and one-size-fits-all beauty. It’s sequins in the grocery aisle. It’s sipping a latte in your comfiest robe while writing your origin story. I love it because it reflects the chaos and clarity of real life, and it’s always evolving—just like its founder (hi, yes, that’s me).

Then there’s Ritual—because their branding is clean, their transparency is unmatched, and their vitamins don’t smell like a haunted pharmacy. Honorable mentions go to Drunk Elephant for their neon chaos that actually works, and Louboutin—because sometimes your heels need to be louder than your mood.

But my absolute favorite brands? The ones that empower people—whether it’s a beauty line built for inclusivity, a skincare company that tells you aging is power, or a podcast platform that gives women a microphone. If the mission makes me want to stand a little taller? I’m in.

But I’ve also got a soft spot for brands that align with my values and offer serious perks—aka, the ones featured on our Promo Codes & Brand Partners page. These aren’t just any brands; they’re handpicked favorites I use, love, and trust. From skincare that understands your face isn’t a test lab, to wellness tools that actually work—this is where I share the good stuff.

Let’s normalize being picky with our brands—it’s called having standards.

My years navigating the legal world have sharpened my attention to detail, while my experience and passion for fashion, beauty, and personal development drives my desire to help others feel empowered and help them in their journey toward self-empowerment. My experience in the fashion world has taught me the power of confidence.
