A Roundup of Things I Bought and Loved

Health + Beauty Edition

Hello and happy October 1st! Today’s post features a roundup of health and beauty related items that I’ve purchased throughout the year and have absolutely been loving. I’ve recommended all these things to my friends and family so I wanted to share them with you guys as well! You can view all the items in my shop by clicking here, or by clicking on the the links listed below. :)

Ok, let’s dive in!

• I finally treated myself to what I think is the chicest looking blender ever, which also happens to come in my favorite color as well. It’s funny (and sort of dumb) how much of a difference an aesthetically pleasing looking appliance can make, when it comes to how often I use it. Please tell me I am not alone in that?! I think it also helps that it’s not super bulky or heavy and fits nicely in the cabinet just below the counter, creating easy access. With the mini blender plus, you also get a few containers to use as to-go cups or storage for any sauces you might make, plus a leak-resistant straw cap system, extra straws and a little spatula, which comes in handy. Lately, my favorite smoothie has been frozen blueberries, dark cherries and avocado (I found pre-chopped avocado chunks in the freezer section), with a splash of this coconut milk (only two ingredients) and a big scoop of this super clean protein powder (I prefer the Pure Choco). The combo tastes good and it’s perfect for when you are on the go.

• I have been really enjoying this thermal brush, which I found works great if you have a bob, making it effortless to curl it under and give your hair volume. I’m currently growing my hair out so am excited to try it out on longer locks to create pretty waves.

• Recently I switched up my deodorant and now this is my new go-to. And this set comes with a body wash and hand cream. The scent is amazing!

• These face wipes are so convenient when I am just too tired to properly wash my face, that I opted for a subscription so that I will never run out. I also really like their non-aerosol dry shampoo powder and razor as well.

• One of my favorite comedians recently shared on her stories that she has started using castor oil on her brows to help them stay thick and healthy. She swears by it, so I started putting a bit on mine every night before bed. Influenced much? I am unsure if it’s working, although I think it’s too soon to tell (will report back), but there are so many other great benefits with this oil, specifically castor oil packs which can help with inflammation. More info on that here!

• These CBD gummies have really helped calm my mind before bed and help me sleep through the night. This type of product is so different for everyone so if you are interested, I would recommend trying out a single trial pack for $12.99.

• Having at-home exercise equipment on hand when I want to fit in a quick workout has been so helpful, especially when I don’t have time to go to an in-person class. This mini reformer (yes, I was totally influenced by TikTok) is really great because it’s lightweight, folds up and can easily be stored, but also the workout is quite challenging! I also really love bouncing it out on this trampoline, which I got back in early 2020. It can be a fun way to relieve stress at the end of the day, but the health benefits that come along with it are pretty impressive.

• I have a few different types of ankle weights, but I like how these aren’t bulky and come in cute colors so if you wear them out on a walk you can still feel put together.

• I wear this on my face every single day and love how it not only protects but also gives slight coverage, which is perfect for days when I don’t feel like wearing much else on my skin.

• This wrinkle eraser was advertised to me on Instagram, and after watching a bunch of before and after videos, I decided to order and try it out myself. It’s fairly pricey for a small product, but you don’t need much at all to get results. I just dab and blend a bit on the wrinkles between my brows and am always amazed at the coverage it provides.

Alright friends, that’s it for now! I hope you enjoyed reading about the things I have been loving lately. If you have any questions about any of these products, just leave me a note below!
