  • Rachel founded her skincare company while she was looking for solutions to her skin's specific needs. She lives with systemic lupus, a chronic autoimmune condition that can affect the skin.
    When Rachel and her partner Stacey bought their Brooklyn apartment 5 years ago, they put in lots of work to create a clean and comfortable space that supports a healthy lifestyle.

    I love how your home is flooded with light. That rooftop garden/patio area is everything! I grew up in the Bronx, and left NY thirty years ago. I've lived in nice apartments in affordable states, but there's nothing quite like NYC. I've found having peace as the main ingredient everywhere I lived, is what made my spaces home. You did an excellent job achieving that, in your home.

    This is basically my dream apartment. It's so sunny and full of plants and pops of color. So inviting.

    these videos would get a lot more views if they were longer, slower and had less panning and cutting - that is if they were easier to actually watch and understand. interiors videos shouldn’t flow like music videos - it confuses the eye. please rethink this AT because your website is so dope!

      I was thinking that. If she is that fragile I think a cat is a poor choice for another creature inhabiting her space. But, perhaps she balances the risk with the pleasure she derives from the pet. Hmm...

    Good point about plants filtering air, but i've aso heard that indoor plants can harbour mould. I'm just thinking that if it's okay with this person's lungs seeing she has compromised lungs, it may be okay for those with eczema to live with a few plants in the house, because they too can be sensitive to mould.
