My Summer Beauty Line-up I Always Pack for New England
Every summer, as I start getting ready for a trip to New England, there’s this little ritual I look forward to: packing up my beauty favorites. It always takes me back to those first trips when I fell in love with that classic, coastal charm — the long beach walks, breezy dinners, and slow mornings that feel like pure summer magic.
When I pack for these trips, I’m not looking to overdo it. I want my beauty routine to feel easy, fresh, and effortless — so I can spend less time getting ready and more time soaking up all those beautiful moments. Over the years, I’ve found the products that work for me — a line-up that helps me feel like my best self, whether I’m out exploring, heading to dinner, or simply enjoying coffee on the porch.
