Fall collection is all about plaid and browns and Nancy from Nancy's Fashion Style loves both. So she could not say no when she saw this plaid pencil skirt. Combined with a light blue ruffle blouse and a military jacket, another on trend item. Flat boots complete the outfit which is classic with a twist.

At BuMama, we believe in giving back to the community and supporting those who need it most. That's why we donate 10% of our annual sales to the Trauma Survivors Foundation. This cause is incredibly close to our hearts—five years ago, my family and I survived the devastating suicide of my husband and my daughters' father. Through this unimaginable ordeal, we discovered the importance of having the right support and resources to rebuild our lives. Now, we want to extend that help to other trauma survivors.
I recently discovered lovely goat's milk body lotions made by Topanga Scents, and each of their fragrances are inspired and named after regions and specific locations in the Los Angeles area.
About Topanga Scents,Topanga Scents was created by Seth Williams in 2017 with the vision of creating an affordable luxury laundry line with lasting effects. His love for Southern California—especially the Topanga Mountains, a peaceful escape between the Malibu beaches and Santa Monica Mountains—inspired the brand’s name.
What started in his kitchen, selling to family and close friends, quickly became an online business opportunity. Seth was a high school principal at the time, mixing, labeling, boxing, and shipping every order from his home. As love and demand for the products grew, he realized the need for a business partner.
Seth turned to someone he trusted to support his growing vision—his sister-in-law, Erin Williams. Already a devoted fan of the products, Erin had been sharing them with her co-workers, family, and friends. In 2019, Erin joined Seth as a co-owner, making products in her home while overseeing the construction of a warehouse on family land.
Recognizing the company’s potential, Seth and Erin transformed Topanga Scents into a Network Marketing Company, officially launching it in November 2020. Since then, it has continued to thrive, helping countless families find success through its business model.
Today, Topanga Scents is more than just a luxury fragrance brand—it’s a movement built on passion, quality, and a commitment to helping others. Seth and Erin remain dedicated to their mission and excited for future opportunities. With a heart for service and a belief in the power of community, they continue to expand the brand, bringing the essence of Topanga Scents to homes across the US.
Topanga Scents Santa Monica Goat's Milk Lotion is a very moisturizing Goat's Milk body lotion that is veiled with a beautiful fragrance. Described as, "a cheerful blend of freesia, seasoned alpine, and smooth vanilla," this beautiful floral sits close to the skin and delights the senses. As Topanga Scents asserts, "goat’s milk products provide immense benefits to your skin’s health and its ability to absorb moisture" and I definitely note that this formula offers my skin sustained moisture all day long. The lotion is lightweight, fast-absorbing and ultra-emollient. It leaves skin deeply moisturized, and it contains vitamins A, B, C, D & E to heal rough and dry skin. Additionally, their lotions are Phthalate-free.
Topanga Scents The Grove Goat's Milk Lotion, which is named after an LA destination outdoor mall, is likewise immensely moisturizing. The fragrance, which is aptly described as, "the clean fragrances of citrus, sweet florals, and sandalwood" is a delectable citrusy floral that is tempered by the warmth of the sandalwood. Like their Santa Monica scent, The Grove's aroma sits close to the skin and delights the senses without overwhelming them.
Directions: Apply a small amount of our goat’s milk lotion to your skin and massage gently until fully absorbed.
Overall Assessment: These are both such lovely body lotions. The scents are subtle and pleasant and the lotion itself is very moisturizing, and such a pleasure to use.$15.00 for 8 oz. from Topanga Scents (Unaffiliated Links). Press Sample. All views expressed are categorically my own.

The Epicutis Luxury Skincare Set is comprised of a full-size Lipid Serum (1 oz) and a full-size Hyvia Crème (1.7 oz). The two products together deeply nourish and hydrate, and they also calm irritated and stressed skin.
According to Epicutis,
The Luxury Skincare Set combines two powerful steps: Treat and Hydrate. It includes the Lipid Serum and Hyvia® Crème, both formulated with exclusive patented active ingredients unique to EPICUTIS®.
With therapeutic concentrations of TSC, our patented anti-inflammatory ingredient, this silky serum delivers an instant dose of relief for inflamed, stressed, sensitive or post-procedure skin - PLUS proven skin-health benefits that build over time.
The Hyvia® Crème combines the best of nature and science. It includes proprietary ingredients, complemented by a selection of pure, responsibly sourced botanicals that offer proven benefits for the skin.
Epicutis Lipid Serum ($250.00 when sold alone) is a thick and emollient serum that melts into the skin, and leaves it deeply hydrated and it calms inflammation, redness and irritation. This serum is very concentrated, and therefore a tiny amount is enough for the face, neck and décolleté. This can be used day and night, and after about a week I noticed that my skin was not only soft, hydrated, smooth and supple, but also that my fine lines were plumped and barely detectable. I used this serum after an exfoliation that left my skin a little irritated and red, and it calmed and left it comfortable very quickly. It has no detectable scent, and it is neither oily, nor sticky. It is a very solid performing serum.
According to Epicutis,
PURE MINIMALIST MAGIC: With only eight ingredients, this gentle formula is an essential member of your healing arsenal.
With therapeutic concentrations of TSC, our patented anti-inflammatory ingredient, this silky serum delivers an instant dose of relief for inflamed, stressed, sensitive or post-procedure skin—PLUS proven skin-health benefits that build over time.
Thanks to the lipid-like properties of TSC, EPICUTIS® Lipid Serum absorbs quickly—carrying a network of calming nutrients beneath the skin’s surface to soothe redness and fight collagen break down at the cellular level.
Features:
Epicutis Hyvia Crème ($195.00 when sold alone) is a creamy-dreamy facial cream with a delectable velvety texture. It is thick and rich, but it melts into the skin and doesn't leave behind a sticky or greasy residue. It deeply nourishes and moisturizes the skin and leaves it soft, smooth, supple and luminous. Furthermore, when used in conjunction with the Epicutis Lipid Serum, skin is treated to serious pampering. My skin has a kind of indescribably clarity and luminosity, and it remains comfortably hydrated and moisturized all day long. It has a very light aroma– which is informed by its ingredients, not artificial fragrance– but it is light, pleasant and it fades quickly. This cream can be used morning and night, and like the serum it is quite concentrated. After prolonged use, it is supposed to fade hyperpigmentation, but since I use retinol, most of my small spots of sun damage have faded considerably.
K-Beauty sister brand to medicube, APRILSKIN recently launched their lightweight SPF serum on Amazon, and it is definitely a noteworthy find.
APRILSKIN Mugwort Calming Sunscreen SPF50 is a lightweight serum-like chemical sunscreen that absorbs quickly and leaves behind no white cast or an unpleasant greasy residue. If offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection and it is infused with soothing mugwort and brightening niacinamide. Formulated for all types of skin, this sunscreen is fragrance-free and it helps calm irritated skin, and is even suitable for sensitive skin. As with every sunscreen– even with a high SPF– they only remain effective if one reapplies them as directed. I typically reapply every 75-90 minutes.
