Jen Baden Howard's essentials for an “inside-out” happy glow, including French-girl-chic lips, a summer retinol alternative, and a down-to-earth celebrity beauty secret!
Taking notes and adding items to my to-buy list at every paragraph of this feature! As a side note, Pray As You Go a staple in my own morning routine, so it’s fun (and honestly surprising!) to see it pop up here. It’s so unlike how I was taught to think about prayer growing up—I love the open-ended approach and encouragement to use (and trust) my imagination ❤️
It is definitely oriented within the Christian faith tradition, so that may or may not be a good fit for you, but it's been a refreshing and healing practice for me after being raised in a much more conservative religious tradition!
Amelia, no words for what a thrill it was that you asked me to talk beauty with you, and of course, you've made it all look so gorgeous and uplifting - thank you, thank you, I LOVE Happy On Purpose, and I am truly honoured. I am so with you on your approach to midlife beauty, too, and now I need to compare French hairbrushing notes!! (AND I want to find your SPF base!!). All the thank yous, and wishing you a wonderful weekend. 💗🌞
Yay!!!! It made my day when I opened Amelia's newsletter and find my friend Jen inside! Happy, happy, day for me. I love all the recs and your newsletter too! Well done and Happy Friday! XOXO
Thank YOU! I love my La Bonne Brosse - I gave my daughter one for Christmas and she loves it, too. I’ve noticed that my hair is thicker and healthier since I’ve been using it, and the quality is so beautiful - truly feels like an heirloom.
Me too, and what a lovely and truly special gift for your girl! I’m now thinking of treating myself to the mini one for my handbag! 🙊 💗 🇫🇷 (Which colour do you have?!)
Oh that’s so wonderful, we are birds of a feather – I have the cream/white one as well! And I think I would get the blue for my girl – something about it takes me back to Disney princess dressing tables – and the pink! 💙💗

I'm very interested to try this app - I do silent meditation every morning but like the idea of something inspirational and calming!

I was raised Catholic and don't attend mass anymore, but I do miss some of the quiet rituals and traditions.
Just gonna bookmark this amazing list for my next skincare/makeup haul! Thanks for sharing Jen with us!
Jen's the best!
So fun that you interviewed my dear friend, Jen!
It was a joy!
