Mom's Go-To Favourites: From Skincare to Jewelry

If you know my mom, you know that she loves the world of fashion as much as that of jewelry. I can’t count the number of times we’ve been walking around town, and someone has stopped us to ask about her glowing skin or where she got her fabulous outfit. Of course, they often compliment her elegant gray hair, as well.

Mom has always had an impeccable sense of style—something she’s carried with her since her younger years! And it’s no surprise that she’s developed a bit of a self-care routine along the way, which has become a source of inspiration not just for me, but for many of the members of our Carolily family. We thought it would be fun to share from of Mom's favourite products! Who knows, maybe you'll find a new favourite in her list (all of the links will be clickable!).

Hair and Skincare Staples

Mom’s approach to hair and skincare is all about keeping things simple, yet effective. She’s a big fan of products that nourish and rejuvenate without being too fussy.

Right now, her go-to products are:

• L'Occitane Immortelle Overnight Reset Oil-in-Serum
• Alumier AHA Renewal Serum
• Retinol Resurfacing Serum
• Euphora Perfect Curl Shampoo
• Oribe Conditioner for Brilliance and Shine
• Chanel N°5 Eau de Parfum
• Soir d'Orient Eau de Parfum

Each of these plays a special role in maintaining her radiant skin and hair—and she swears by them!

A Passion for Jewelry

Of course, no conversation about Mom would be complete without mentioning jewelry. She has a natural flair for selecting pieces that not only make a statement but are also timeless enough to become a staple in anyone’s collection. Whether she’s dressing up or down, she knows how to accessorize perfectly.

Here are a few of Mom's top jewelry picks:

• Harper Pearl Hoop: A classic pearl with a twist of modern elegance, this hoop adds a playful touch to any outfit.
• Bertie Necklace: Simple to style and full of visual intrigue, this is a favourite when Mom is stacking necklaces.
• Elizabeth Bracelet: One of Mom’s absolute favourites. It’s perfect for wearing solo to make an impactful statement.
• Bertie Earrings: Simple and elegant, these drop earrings bring a touch of refinement to any look.

Baking Delights

One of the many things that brings Mom joy is baking. The kitchen is often filled with delicious scents, and her butter tart recipe is legendary in our family and beyond. She’s become known for it over the years, and I think it’s safe to say they’re almost world-famous! She bakes with the same love and attention to detail she pours into her Carolily designs.
