Episode 28 - Sanity & Self-Care

When life feels chaotic, beauty rituals can be the grounding force that brings us back to ourselves. In this cozy catch-up, we’re talking about the self-care routines that keep us sane—from skincare staples to the tiny rituals that make us feel human again. ✨ In this episode, we cover: * Morning vs. evening routines & how they shift with our energy * The self-care practices we rely on (gua sha, cryo globes, body oil, candlelight, & more) * What’s currently living on our bathroom counters (hello, top shelf lineup 👀) * The products we’ve just finished (& whether we’d repurchase them) * Holy grails we’ll always go back to, no matter what * Beauty rituals that go beyond products—like shower playlists, energy resets, & turning skincare into a soul-soothing practice 💗 At the end of the day, self-care isn’t about perfection or a 10-step routine. It’s about those little moments that remind you: “I’m worth taking care of.” 💌 Share your self-care staples & top-shelf faves with us!

Welcome back to The DeCourcy Diaries—where we talk beauty, business & becoming that version of you. In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on the smoke & mirrors of the beauty industry.

This one’s a reality check & a reminder that your quiet consistency, your craft, & your mission mattermore than any algorithm.
