January 2018 Favorites

January has flown by and I am still getting use to it being 2018. Anybody else feel old?! This month has been a blast and along the way I discovered a ton of great stuff.

Lip Exfoliator

Winter can mean dry cracked lips. This is never a good look but especially not under a lip color. My lips are dry and flaky all year long to be honest. I needed something to start the healing process fast so I could apply my lip color. Enter in the E.L.F lip exfoliator. This product comes in a lipstick format making it easy to swipe on the lips without having to dig your finger into a pot. Gritty brown sugar sits within a moisturizing balm, so you get two treatments in one! Just apply and then wipe away and all your dead skin goes along with it. This keeps my pucker looking pretty. Did I mention it smells like candy and costs only three dollars?! I suspect it will become one of your favorites as well.

Michael Kors Cindy crossbody

Another black purse, just what I need right? No! The shape of this Michael Kors purse is what drew me in though and I now love having it in my collection. Small black purses are always going to be a stylish staple because hello, they go with everything! The adjustable chain strap takes it up a notch and can easily be dressed up or down. A quality leather purse will last a very long time so look for a shape that you will love for years to come. For me? The Cindy crossbody is that shape.

More “Me” Time

I am firm believer in how important it is to make time for yourself. This improves one’s mood and mental health. I have been striving to have at least one pamper sesh a week to check in with myself. This can mean indulging in a lovely bubble bath or doing a sheet mask and binge watching Netflix. Just giving myself time to relax and refocus has allowed me to appreciate life so much more. I can absolutely see a difference in my energy and mood. Our lives more so fast and time can easily get away from us. I urge you to make a commitment to put yourself first and slow the clock down even if just for a bit. Go ahead, take that nap girl, you deserve it!
