Receipts ft. Beauty Maven Michele Gough Baril

This simple but beautifully crafted wood bowl lives on Gough Baril’s table and gets used constantly. “I love hosting my friends and family, and this bowl makes even a simple salad feel intentional.”

A hot water bottle is something that may not be on your list, but perhaps re-consider; Gough Baril says this is one of those old-school wellness things that actually works. “I use it in the evenings to wind down or when I need a little extra comfort”.

There is something grounding about having a book that feels truly yours. Gough Baril leans on this old-school technique when she wants something “special that’s not precious.”

“I’m low-maintenance with my hair, and this leave-in conditioner makes it look like I tried without feeling styled,” says Gough Baril. “It’s lightweight and instantly makes my hair feel healthier and more polished.”

When she needs a break, Gough Baril says she steps into nature. “Watching the birds outside has become a small daily ritual. It’s grounding, quiet, and a reminder to slow down and look up.”

This crisp white button down is one of the most worn pieces in Gough Baril’s closet. “It works for meetings, travel, and weekends and always makes me feel pulled together,” she says.

This is the base of Gough Baril’s everyday routine. “It exists because it’s what I wanted to wear every day - something that treats my skin and makes it look better at the same time! Everyone could use a little reset.”

"When she needs to feel calmer and more balanced, Gough Baril looks to these gummies.   “I’m very intentional about what I take,” she says. “They have become part of my daily routine, especially during busy or stressful weeks.”

Something beautiful in the work space is for everyone. “This tray sits on my desk and holds all the little things I reach for throughout the day,” says Gough Baril. It’s functional but also beautiful, which makes my workspace feel more intentional.”

A barn jacket is not only “in” it’s functional. Gough Baril wears this barn jacket everywhere –to meetings and straight to the barn to see her horse. “It’s practical, timeless, and makes even the simplest outfit feel considered.”
