Receipts Feat. Cymbiotika’s Co-Founder + COO, Durana Elmi

“I use this mist whenever I want my skin to feel instantly hydrated and fresh. Some days are just nonstop—balancing motherhood, work, and travel, so I need something quick that gives my face a little boost. It’s lightweight, nourishing, and never feels heavy or greasy, which makes it easy to use anytime. I truly believe your makeup starts with skincare, so I’m very particular about what I use. 

I love it as a prep spray before makeup because it gives my foundation a natural, luminous base. I also spritz it on top of makeup for a finishing glow that looks effortless. Midday at the office is another favorite time to use it—just a few sprays and my skin feels refreshed, awake, and polished.”

“Comfort and functionality are everything for me, and this bra hits both perfectly. It’s supportive enough for a workout but soft enough to wear all day without thinking about it. Between running errands, heading to meetings, or hopping on a flight, it keeps me comfortable without sacrificing style.

I wear it for HIIT workouts, my stairmaster sessions, or whenever I’m at the home gym. But I also love styling it as part of a casual-chic outfit. The material is buttery soft but structured, so it feels like it was made just for me. It never rides up, pinches, or loses shape, which is so rare for a sports bra.”

“They’re the perfect mix of comfort and polish. I’m always on the move, and these make busy days look and feel easy.

They’re impeccably made—soft, lightweight, and beautifully structured. They instantly elevate any outfit.I once wore them through back-to-back travel and meetings, and by the end of the day, I still felt put-together and comfortable.”

“Sleep is such an important part of my wellness routine, and this mask makes sure I get it wherever I am. It blocks out all light, is gentle on my eyes, and the satin material even helps prevent wrinkles. It’s a small luxury that makes a big difference in how rested I feel. 

On long-haul flights, this mask is the only thing that guarantees I actually sleep. I rely on it for early morning shoots, events, or any time I need to show up looking refreshed, and it has never let me down.”

“This gives my skin that effortless, lit-from-within glow that looks natural yet polished. I love products that make my skin look alive without feeling heavy, sticky, or overly glittery.

I like to mix it into foundation for added luminosity, tap it on cheekbones as a highlight, or wear it alone on no-makeup days. This gel is the perfect base for my skin tint and everyday radiance because it blends beautifully, keeps its glow all day. My skin looks naturally healthy and radiant whenever I use it.”

“They’re a lifesaver for puffy, tired eyes. Caffeine reduces swelling, while the hydration instantly brightens and smooths the under-eye area.  They actually work. Within minutes, my under eyes look refreshed, awake, and smooth. I’ve tried many eye masks, but these consistently deliver noticeable results.

I use them before makeup, after flights, or any morning when I haven’t slept enough. They’re also a mini self-care moment to reset my day. Before big events or photoshoots, they ensure my eyes look bright and awake.”

“Travel is such a big part of my life, and this suitcase makes it seamless. It’s sleek, durable, and an investment in both style and functionality. It’s timeless, sophisticated, and built to last. I never have to worry about damage or replacing it, which is rare for luggage.

Business trips, weekend getaways, and international flights all get easier with this suitcase. Its lightweight yet spacious design means it works perfectly no matter where I’m headed.”

“It nourishes, protects, and adds shine without weighing hair down. The scent alone makes it feel indulgent, and it’s a small luxury that really elevates my hair routine.

I apply a few drops to damp hair after washing, or on dry ends to smooth frizz and add polish. I also use it as a finishing touch after styling to achieve glossy, healthy-looking hair. After a day at the beach in San Diego or playing in the pool with my family, it restores softness and shine. The chlorine is always brutal on my hair but I love spending time in the water with my two daughters. This serum is my go-to for hair that needs a little extra care.”

“Unlike powders that require mixing and can lose potency during processing, this one is in a ready-to-consume liquid format that is easy to use and preserves the nutrients in their most effective form. This supplement is a foundation for gut health and immune system support. It helps with recovery, energy, and feel my most beautiful, inside out.

I mix it into morning smoothies or take it straight from the packet—it literally tastes like cake batter. It’s amazing for hair, skin, nails, maintaining a healthy gut lining, and supporting immunity. It truly helps me glow from within and feel my best.”

“Vitamin C is essential for daily wellness, immune support, and keeping my skin radiant. It’s a cornerstone of my morning routine and helps me stay energized and healthy. The liposomal form of this is what sets it apart. Liposomes help deliver the vitamin directly into your cells, making it much more absorbable than regular vitamin C. It’s also gentle on the stomach, which is rare for high-dose vitamin C. I notice more energy, better recovery, and healthier skin when I take it consistently, which makes it feel indispensable.

During travel or seasonal changes, I never skip it. And if I’m feeling indulgent, I add a packet to a glass of my favorite champagne,Veuve, to make a mimosa with extra health benefits!”

“I use this moisturizer when my skin needs real repair and hydration—especially after travel, long work weeks, or whenever my schedule pushes me past my usual wellness rhythm. It feels like a serious skincare moment instead of just a quick fix. The barrier-repair aspect is particularly important since running around as a mother and going in and out of different environments really puts my skin to the test.

The formula is uniquely engineered—powered by something called Bioactive Hydrolipid Fusion™, which fuses water and lipids into a biomimetic system that hydrates deeply and fortifies the skin barrier. Many products promise glow or moisture, but this one actually feels like it rebuilds.”

“I’ve always valued foundations that feel like skin. The Foundation Drops deliver just that: a serum-light, buildable coverage that still lets your natural skin show through. It’s skincare and makeup.

I use it every day without fail. It’s fast, flawless, and doesn’t feel heavy. This foundation gives me a uniform tone and a luminous finish that I can always rely on. The formulation is next level: clinically proven to improve skin over time, not just in the moment. When I put it on, I feel like I’m doing more than just covering up, I’m investing in my skin’s look and health. That kind of performance keeps me loyal.”

“The Happy Mom Raspberry Hard Seltzer gives me that guilt-free pleasure: low calories, clean flavor, and a moment of ‘me-time’ after the kids are asleep and the workday is done. After a long work-day when I finally settle in, I’ll pour one into a glass, lounge on the couch, and catch up on something purely for fun (not strategy or wellness).

This is a great, flavorful and health-conscious option in the hard seltzer category. As someone who is committed to their wellness, this drink aligns well with my lifestyle.”

“This necklace is a testament to timeless elegance. The intricate floral design, adorned with 0.50 carats of diamonds, adds a touch of sophistication to any ensemble. Crafted from 14k gold, it offers both durability and a radiant finish, making it a staple in my jewelry collection.

I wear this necklace daily, whether I'm attending meetings, enjoying a casual day out, or dressing up for special occasions. Its versatile design seamlessly transitions from day to night, complementing both professional attire and evening wear.”

“When I need to feel powerful and sharp, this blazer does the job. The structure and craftsmanship make it a statement without saying a word. It’s my go-to for important meetings, events, or even dinner out. It can dress up jeans or make any outfit feel intentional.

Schiaparelli pieces are wearable art — sculptural, bold, and timeless. It’s not just fashion; it’s empowerment in design.”
