the girls room.
things my best friends are loving & recommending, straight from our group chat.

You know the group chats with your girlfriends that pop off all day long and are the place to ask for a recommendation? No matter what you need, they’ve got you. I spent last weekend with my best friends and we dedicated an ample amount of time to digging through each others skincare and beauty products yelling “do you love this?!” or “I’ve been wanting to try this!”. So, I figured it was time to get them on here! Get your notepads ready, this is going to be good ✍️
Note that is post is too long to read in your email, I’d move to the Substack app or your browser. The girls had a lot to say, ok!
