Doro’s Holiday Gift Guide: For the Gals
Holiday season is just around the corner (like legitimately around the corner) and giving gifts is one of my love languages (in addition to ergonomic furniture, oat milk flat whites, quality time, “text me when you’re home safe,” and acts of service - let me stop before this turns into an extension of my Hinge profile), so I wanted to put together a gift guide for you all based on trends I’ve seen and as always, my personal experiences with products. This gift guide is for the amazing gals and women in your life, but may be appreciated by folks of all genders!
Truth be told, I’m not sure if this is a gift guide or an extension of my running wish list and favourites… no harm, no foul.
This list of holiday gift ideas is organized based on the level of your relationship with the human in your life, with 1 being an acquaintance and 10 being your significant other or a best friend. From almost lipstick to a beaded wristlet keychain to a mini diamond tennis bracelet, there’s something for everyone.
Just Doro x Vivian Lynn: 3 Summer Skincare Essentials
Summer is a fleeting moment in time (I will stop sounding like a Nicholas Sparks novel): frequently far too short as I try to squeeze 10 days of activities into 6 days and wonder why I’m so gassed afterwards. The sun soaks up my energy, yet the perfect summer Saturday is a day at the beach with portable charcuterie, fresh fruit, multiple Sapsuckers, and my Kobo. But I love it so much.
As we dive into patio season and spend more time outdoors, it’s also a great time to switch up your skincare routine. I’ve swapped out thick moisturizers in favour of lighter lotions, brightening masks instead of hydration masks, and find myself reaching for water-based serums, rather than oil-based serums.
I have the absolute honour of collaborating with my dear friend, Vivian Lynn, on today’s blogpost, and we’d love to tell you about 3 summer skincare essentials for guys, gals, and non-binary pals. Read on for Vivian’s curated list!
