I've rounded up some of my new and old favorite things that I've found myself reaching for this month. Some of these items are completely new to me and brands that I definitely see myself coming back to and others are classics. So without further ado...
I've never been a huge candle person but I picked this one up out of an overwhelming selection at my local TjMaxx for the simple fact that I love hazelnut and I was not disappointed. When I first took a whiff of the candle, it was light but not too overwhelming. When I brought it home and lit it, I was surprised at how well it fragranced the room. I lit it for about thirty minutes and my room smelled lovely and warm for a few hours after. I've been lighting this candle constantly for the past couple weeks and could probably use it for another month or so. I tried finding the website for the candle maker, but had no luck. Here's to hoping that it's a product that TjMaxx brings back!
Now to talk about the classics. I've had this Chanel No. 5 perfume for quite some time now. To be honest, my everyday life is so on the go and involves me in yoga pants so often, that I tend to be the body spray kinda girl. But every once in awhile, I wanna feel like a lady and although this perfume was an acquired smell, it is now my go-to scent on those days when I want to channel my inner Audrey Hepburn. It reminds me of pearls and my grandmother in the best way possible. It is a little pricey but a little goes a long way with this one and is perfect for special occasions.
This Dr. Jart+ Black Label Detox BB Beauty Balm is my new favorite thing in the world! Like I mentioned before, as a dancer and working in the dance world, I'm always on the go and in yoga pants and comfortable clothing. When I wake up in the morning, I want to look put together and fresh faced without looking like I caked on pounds of makeup. This BB cream is the perfect everyday foundation replacement that actually works while it's on your face. The cream blends almost perfectly to my skin tone and I've actually noticed that my face looks better at the end of the day when I take off my makeup. The cream has a formula that calms and purifies the skin and gives you more of a radiant glow plus SPF 25. YAY better skin! I normally wouldn't have spent so much money on a BB Cream but after getting a sample of this in my Birchbox a few months ago and going through a few drugstore products, I went for it and don't regret it a bit. You just need a small pump to cover the face and you're ready to take on the day!
I discovered Black Kettle Soap Company a few weeks ago when I went to a local Pop Up Market here in Houston. I had been wanting to transition into using more organic products for my skin and when I saw this booth set up, I was intrigued. The man who makes these products with his wife started doing this because all of his daughters have skin conditions including eczema and found that they were allergic to many products out there. These products are all made with simple, organic ingredients for different skin types that do the job just as well, if not better at incredibly reasonable prices. I picked up this sugar scrub, which is great for full body use in the shower as well as a lip scrub, this oatmeal and honey soap that makes my hands incredibly soft after use and also smells AMAZING, a clementine lip butter that leaves my lips soft for hours, and a jasmine and honey bath bomb (not pictured because I couldn't wait to use it) that gives me a spa like experience with actual jasmine flowers. All of these products smell LOVELY and help to make my skin feel great especially during these winter months. I cannot wait to try out more products from this company!
What are some of your favorite winter products?
-A.
p.s. I purchased all of these products and these reviews are my genuine thoughts. No one has paid me or gifted me these items. I'm not that special ;)
