Hi everyone! There are lots of new faces here. So excited to have you =)
Health Gossip is a conversational newsletter exploring the personal side of health and wellness. Each week, we invite a new guest to fill out the (borderline invasive) questionnaire, quizzing them on their daily routines, perfect meals, and best pieces of advice. Read the full archive here.
In the spirit of being Into the Gloss for esoteric girls (a designation I’ve recently committed to, and others have co-signed), I’m excited to launch a new Top Shelfie series. Here, we’ll get an inside look at some of the items lining the Health Gossip community’s shelves— from vitamins and tonics to top-secret concoctions (we all have something).
Our first Shelfie comes from Annika, a Toronto-based student and Waldorf teacher-in-training.
On her approach to beauty, she writes:
I love simplicity, and a kind of naturalness is a virtue. I have four sisters and we’re all this way — my mother had me young, and having grown up Catholic, I guess looked down on vanity. But she instilled in us a love of beauty, which I see reflected in simple daily rituals.
Current essentials include The Ordinary’s Rosehip Oil (“I love Northlore’s but The Ordinary’s is more budget-friendly”), Weleda Wild Rose Deodorant (“no notes”), and a Redecker Hairbrush Cleaner (“it’s very cute, and does the job”).
What’s in your Top Shelfie?
