Last Friday, Sofi invited us into a day shaped by movement, beauty, work, and the grounding moments that help her stay connected to herself. Her routine isn’t rushed — it unfolds. With each story she shared, we witnessed the quiet rituals that support her energy, her skin, and her sense of balance. Here is the full breakdown of her Friday takeover.
Sofi begins her mornings slowly, waking her skin with the gentlest step: Eye Contact, our depuffing and tightening eye crème. She loves it so much she uses it on her lips and on any areas that need extra moisture.
Next comes Surreal Silk, which she calls her essential for “locking everything in.” It preps her skin for gua sha, giving her that smooth, silky glide that makes her ritual feel effortless.
With her Mushroom Gua Sha, still naturally cool from the morning air, she sculpts and wakes her features.
Before she heads out, Sofi blends her favorite breakfast: Just Ingredients Strawberries & Cream Protein Powder, which she says tastes “exactly like strawberry Nesquik, but clean.”
A finishing touch: her fluoride-free Hello Toothpaste, a non-negotiable since switching helped calm irritation.
And before she steps into the day, she pauses for her 5-minute journal — a few lines of gratitude to center everything.
Between her wellness rituals, Sofi leads a busy schedule. “I work an outside sales job,” she shared, “so I spend a lot of my days out and about, saying hi to customers and prospects.” Her stories showed her tucked into her car between meetings, sunlight across her notebook, grounding herself before the next stop.
Then came the gym — leg day, which she described as “brutal but kinda fun.” Sofi has been focused on building strength and shared how rewarding it feels to see her progress.
After she finishes training, she heads straight into her locker-room ritual:
10 minutes in the sauna
5 minutes to cool down and breathe
10 minutes in the steam room
A full-body reset.
After the heat and sweat, Sofi’s skin needs replenishment. “My skin dries out fast,” she said. Her remedy: Body Renewal, our deeply soothing botanical cream, paired with another drop of Surreal Silk. Together, they revive moisture, restore glow, and leave her skin makeup-ready.
To refuel, she reaches for one of her essentials: Elmhurst Unsweetened Milked Almonds, a simple two-ingredient staple.
Elmhurst Almond Milk — $14 (2-pack)
After work comes the moment she looks forward to most: riding her horse, Cayenne. “This is like therapy and completely non-negotiable,” she shared. Their lesson together wrapped her day with movement, presence, and joy — the kind that doesn’t need explanation.
Following her barn shower, she ends her evening with Gold Drops, our reviving face oil, and one last touch of Eye Contact. She lets it all sink in slowly before bed.
Sofi also shared the songs she’s been playing on repeat — a blend of softness, nostalgia, and movement.
