A Few of My Favorite Things

Happy Sunday!

For the past couple of months I have been obsessed with watching other blogger's Instagram stories and scouring their blogs for outfit inspiration, home decor ideas, and just general products they enjoy using. Some of my favorite products, recipes, or clothing items I have are because someone ELSE recommended them! I'm the type of person that has to know someone else tried it and liked it before I bite the bullet and decide to purchase. (I am the type of person that is always reading reviews of restaurant spots, beauty products, or clothing).

Obviously I am nowhere near the status of any of the bloggers I follow, but I feel like someone could hopefully benefit from a couple of these. I will try to keep you updated if I think of or discover new things I want to share! I will also be linking some of my favorite blogger's websites so that you can follow them as well!

BEAUTY

I have been using Clinique products, specifically this lotion, since I was in high school. They have different formulas specific for different skin types, but this one has worked for me for years and is at a good price point for the quantity you get. I use it every night after I wash my face and it keeps my skin moisturized without feeling greasy or thick on my face. 




When I got my makeup done at MAC for my engagement photo session, I got lashes and a free mascara with my purchase. I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought it would probably be their cheapest mascara and not worth using. However, about a week later I ran out of my other mascara I use and decided to swipe some of this on my lashes instead since I was in a rush...OMG! Where has this been all my life?! First off, it has a dual brush so it makes my lashes thick and super long. Secondly, it stays on super well without being waterproof...which I need since I wear contacts. I would HIGHLY recommend! 




HAIR

About a year ago, I discovered both of these products and they have totally changed my after-shower hair routine!

This brush is super cheap but SO GOOD. I swear it's magic. It combs through even the toughest knots and tangles.


This stuff is gold. Super conditioning and lightweight. I just spray this in my wet hair right after the shower and before I brush or style my hair.



ACTIVEWEAR

Any time I'm not dressed up for an event or work, I am in activewear. I have accumulated quite the amount of workout tops, athleisure jackets, and of course, leggings! These two styles and brands are tried and true and the best part is I can wear them multiple days in a row (just kidding...not really) and they stay fitted and clean feeling. I've owned both of these for a while now and would definitely say they are both well worth the price point!

I currently have the crop version, but am saving up for the pant version seen below. I like these for lounging or working out, but I think they perform super well in workout classes because they stay up and you don't have to constantly adjust them!



Zella is Nordstrom's activewear line and I am obsessed. These pants are by far my favorite leggings I've ever worn for day-to-day. They are thick enough to keep you warm in colder temps, but could also be work in the fall or spring! I like them more for running errands or lounging than working out because of the thickness.
