Skimm Her Life is a series in our weekly newsletter, Skimm Your Life, where smart women share their favorite products.

Smartest purchase you’ve made recently? 

I did just get new probiotics. Gut health is wealth. 

Self-care product you swear by? 

My Solawave is everything to me. (Psst…Skimm HQ’rs love this too. Check out our official review.)

Best splurge purchase that was totally worth it? 

I bought my mom Chanel shoes for Christmas last year and she is a woman that hardly ever treats herself. I think that was a great splurge for me and a successful one because she is also the kind of woman to text me "I returned your gift for something else" — and she did not return the shoes. Hahahaha.

What three items do you always have in your bag? 

Lip liners of all different shades and colors, Rose Inc concealer, and gum.

What’s on your nightstand? 

I promise you've never seen a collection of empty water bottles like this. Also, my journal and my crystals.

Best thing you’ve been influenced to buy from TikTok? 

TikTok introduced me to Paula's Choice, and I do really love that line.

Best piece of advice you’ve ever received? 

Silence is a message. You do not need to respond to everyone and everything.

Celebrity conspiracy theory you fully believe in? 

That many attractive celebrities are in love with me.

Psst: This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
