Kelsey Shares Top Beauty and Wellness Recommendations for October

In a column for the Sioux Falls Mom Connection Substack, Kelsey shared her personal recommendations from October, detailing a range of beauty and wellness products. Kelsey began by recounting her family’s limited Halloween activities, including carving pumpkins and decorating with a giant skeleton, while pondering the appropriate time to put up Christmas decorations.

Beauty and Personal Care Finds

Kelsey highlighted several beauty products she found effective. She described a teeth whitening product, which she had stored for months but began using after a child commented on her teeth’ color. She claimed the product worked better than Crest Whitestrips, resulting in a noticeable shade of whiteness after a single use, though she noted it was pricier than preferred. She also recommended eye patches containing caffeine, which she found to be "magic" for reducing under-eye puffiness despite the high cost and small pack size. Kelsey also mentioned adult Flintstone vitamins, which she said boosted her energy levels and helped her meet daily fiber goals.

Fashion and Leisure Recommendations

The author also shared fashion and leisure suggestions. She praised a pair of Cushionaire loafers for their comfort, noting they had become her go-to fall shoe for daily wear, especially when paired with ruffled socks. Kelsey also recommended a book by Colleen, the SFM book club leader, which is slated to be adapted into a Christmas movie starring Leighton Meester. She described the book as “fun and light and adorable” and expressed excitement for the upcoming film, despite noting it takes some creative liberties from the source material.
