Spend a Cozy Week With Me in Michigan: Skincare, House Tour & Q&A
A cozy, slow life week in Michigan — my winter morning skincare routine, a tour of my beauty studio, a mini house and backyard tour, Halloween with my daughter, and your questions answered.
8 min readSpend a week with me in Michigan for a cozy, slow life vlog. I'm sharing my morning winter skincare routine, a tour of my beauty studio, a mini house tour and backyard tour, Halloween with my daughter, and a Q&A answering your questions — including whether I have ever lived somewhere with seasons (I lived in Colorado) and my current AM skincare routine for mature skin over 40. I'm a beauty educator and aesthetician sharing real life, real expertise, and a slower, cozier pace in Michigan.
Step 1
My Winter Morning Skincare Routine
The routine I'm actually running now that the air here is cold and dry — walked through step by step, the way I do it at the mirror. This is my current AM routine for mature skin over 40: what I reach for first, what I skip, and how I keep skin comfortable through a Michigan winter.

Step 2
Inside My Beauty Studio
A look inside the space where I film everything — the studio where the tutorials, the routines, and all of this content get made. It's small, it's mine, and it's set up for the way I actually work.
Step 3
A Mini House & Backyard Tour
A glimpse inside our Michigan home and out into the backyard. We're still settling in, so this is less a reveal and more a peek at the life we're building here — leaves on the lawn, bare trees, and real seasons all around the house.
Step 4
Halloween With My Daughter
Some Halloween fun with my daughter — costumes, a full trick-or-treat bucket, and the kind of evening you don't want to hurry through. This is the part of the week that made it feel like a real week and not just content.
Step 5
Your Questions Answered
I answer your questions about my skincare, my move to Michigan, and what it's like living somewhere with real seasons after Colorado. If you've ever wondered whether I've lived somewhere with seasons before — I did, in Colorado — this is the honest comparison of the two.
