Hi, Maggie! OMG your breakdown about Uncommon Yarrow and going to an esthetician in general and also your interview with Rebecca makes me want to come to Portland. Rebecca sounds like an amazing and thoughtful human being! It's so nice that you found an esthetician that you click with right away :) her place and her work sounds sooo beautiful.

Botnia is also a brand that I've been eye-ing on and the exact cleanser that you were talking about is one that I'm curious about - I'm a sucker for foaming washes (and gel washes) but cannot find more than a few that can suit my skin well for daily use. I feel the same way about Botnia's branding and process as well - it's so tranquil! I happened to track down the nearest spa that uses Botnia products, it's all the way in Austin, TX so I'm hoping one day that's where I'm going to try their products!! :)

I hope you had a nice weekend!!!

Hi, Asti! I can't wait for you to visit Portland. We would have so much fun! Rebecca is one of those thoughtful beings ever! It was such a pleasure to visit her and get to photograph her beautiful space.

Skincare sisters! I love that we're always attracted to the same things. It was extremely gentle, and I will get a full bottle at some point this year, so I'll keep you posted! I am the same. I love foaming washes, but my easily dehydrated skin can't tolerate most of them if used across consecutive days.

I love that you tracked down a spa that carries Botnia! It would be a nice day trip/treatment day. I hope you had a lovely weekend too, Asti! Thanks for reading!
