As the founder of by dria—a wellness company dedicated to helping lifestyle brands build meaningful connections through events and strategic partnerships—I realize how overwhelming and crowded the wellness space has become. After years of working closely with both brands and consumers, this insight led me to create the by dria membership—a trusted platform that helps people discover what’s truly worth their time, energy, and investment. Rooted in community, content, and curated experiences, our mission is to offer an effortless way to prioritize well-being and elevate everyday living. I’m all about feeling my best, staying consistent, and keeping wellness simple—and these beauty essentials I swear by are a perfect way to achieve that. Here are some of my favorites!
- Furtuna Skin Biphase Moisturizing Oil
This luxurious nighttime oil gives me a glow in the morning. It’s lightweight and plumps my skin with moisture and hydration while I sleep. The ingredients are sustainably sourced from the hills at the brand’s organic farm in Sicily. $125, furtunaskin.com - Dr. Whitney Bowe Beauty Tri-Liptide Peptide Lip-Enhancing Treatment
I’ve noticed a visible fullness to my lips after using the Dr. Whitney Bowe Lip Treatment,
which targets eight signs of aging. My lips are also incredibly hydrated and soft. The formula isn’t sticky, has a transparent color, and is fragrance-free. $34, drwhitneybowebeauty.com - LivOn Labs Lypospheric Vitamin C
Liposomal Vitamin C is my go-to for overall immune support. Your body’s white blood cells can take in vitamins more easily than other cells in the body, which helps to increase your natural defense system. This form of vitamin C goes straight to your bloodstream, which allows your body to absorb it quickly. Not to mention, there’s no added sugar. Just squeeze a packet into a shot glass with water or coconut water and shoot it like a real shot. Cheers! $40 for
30 packets, livonlabs.com - Kate McLeod Daily Stone Moisturizer
I make sure to use this deep moisturizing lotion bar—which is known as “The Daily” and
made of rose, frankincense, neroli, and has no synthetic fragrances—all over to keep my body
hydrated before bed. $45, katemcleod.com - Sarah Creal Back of the Cab Mascara
One coat of this mascara is perfect for daytime, and two gives just enough drama for night. It
lengthens lashes, is smudge-proof, and stays put all day. I didn’t even notice the shade is
called Back of the Cab, which feels spot-on for how effortlessly it goes on, even in a rush. $40, sarahcrealbeauty.com - Symbiome The Essence Rejuvenating Mist
I use this after a workout, on an airplane, and throughout the day to stay fresh. The
ingredients are minimal, including aloe vera and full-spectrum hyaluronic acid. It purifies
and balances the skin’s pH while fighting acne-causing bacteria, delivering pro-collagen peptides, and promoting cellular repair. $50, dermstore.com - Dream Recovery Mouth Tape
I genuinely believe mouth taping is one of the simplest ways to improve your health without
any drastic changes to your lifestyle. This skincare-infused and dermatologist-approved
mouth tape is formulated with superior ingredients, including organic bamboo silk,
which naturally fights bacteria and germs. The strips also boasts a medical-grade,
hypoallergenic adhesive for a strong hold that’s gentle on skin, with no PFAS, toxins, or chemicals. $97 for 90 strips, dreamrecovery.io - Art of Tea Matchasticks
I love matcha; it’s full of theanine and antioxidants, both of which help relax your
body and mind. So having matcha on the go is essential, especially when I travel. These packets contain organic ceremonial-grade matcha and mix easily. $25 for 12 sticks, artoftea.com
