These are my favorite products in no particular order :)
1) My Doc Martens. I have always loved combat boots, and these were no exception. Instead of spending over $100 which is what this brand usually costs, I found them secondhand on Ebay for $60.
2) My Obnoxious Bright Orange Nike Shoes. At my church a group of young adults play volleyball of Friday nights. I decided I wanted better tennis shoes to be able to play weekly. I didn't want normal looking ones, I wanted bright ones, and I found a pair on Poshmark. Poshmark is one of my favorite places to shop. There are so many different things you can buy for way cheaper than normal stores. It is like a big online thrift store. I scored these shoes for $40 when a lot of Nike shoes cost $100+, and even though they were used they appeared brand new! I get complimented on how I'm able to keep them so new looking. The only downside to Poshmark is the high shipping. It costs $8 shipping no matter what you buy, however sellers on the website are able to discount the shipping price, and if you sell on Poshmark you can also earn money towards buying products on the website.
3) Fresh Balsam Wallflower Scent. I use the scent wall plug ins from Bath in Body Works in my bathroom, and stocked up on my favorite scent, Fresh Balsam, which smells like a Christmas tree. The scent notes are balsam, eucalyptus, fir branches, and cedarwood. I have a big love for Bath and Body Works so I also like their foaming hand soaps, scent portals for the car, and aromatherapy shower gels. My favorite shower gel was "Hot Springs Spa" which is no longer available, but had the scent notes of Eucalyptus, lemon, and cedarwood. The problem with Bath and Body Works scents is that they put out new scents and only have them available for a certain amount of time, and then don't produce the scent anymore unless it's one of the few scents that doesn't get retired. Luckily Fresh Balsam is always around during Christmas. One of my favorite scents of all time is Pink Chiffon which my best friend in high school gifted me. The scent gives me memories of her. The scent notes include red pear, jasmine, tiare, orchid, and chiffon musk. Bath and Body Works has a lot of decorative scent holders for their wallflowers, and I got one that has a black lab with a winter scarf.
4) Curology. Curology has been a big life saver for me. My acne breakouts used to get bad, and up until three years ago I was unsure what to do. I had tried a lot of different products in order to get it under control but nothing seemed to work. I tried Proactiv, and another skin care kit that I bought at Ulta. I tried different face scrubs and essential oil, but nothing. One of my friends suggested Curology, and I gave it a try with low hopes it would work but it did! I went from having a lot of acne to clear skin, and it didn't even take very long. I just put it on once a day when I remember too, and it keeps acne away and makes my face feel soft. A small bottle costs $40, but if you only use it once a day it lasts for about 2 months if not more. You take a short quiz so they know the type of acne you have, and make a special formula for it. They also set you up with a skincare specialist to check in on your progress and make sure your formula is working.
5) Cardigan purchased at Summerfest. I love the color of this cardigan/kimono and it's intricate colorful designs. Here is a picture of the back and me wearing it. Purchased for $35 at one of those handmade clothing vendors.
6) Jacket with Patches. I bought a green army jacket at a thrift store and decided to decorate it with patches of bands I like, and various pins. The patches I got from different places, and most of the pins were bought on Wish.com. Wish has cheap quality items so I got them for cheap, however due to the cheap quality some of them have fallen off. It's a cool customizable peace that I love adding too.
7) Black High-Rise Distressed Jeans. You can already see them in the picture above. This was another product I got on Poshmark for $20.
8) Hanging Star Lights. I found these on Amazon and my mom got them for me for Christmas. They look awesome hanging up on my wall as seen in the picture. I like to have them on when I sleep some nights. It was hard at first to figure out how to untangle them correctly when we first got them out of the box, but we eventually did. Also love the mountain tapestry that I also purchased on Poshmark.
9) Mini Instruments. Mini version of things are always adorable, and I was able to find mini versions of a guitar, piano, and well I guess the microphone is life sized. A friend purchased the mini guitar for me from Rock USA. The piano I found at a secondhand book store, and the microphone was a gift. It doubles as a perfume branded by "The Voice".
10) Shooting Star Earrings. These were apart of a Buy 1, get 1 deal, so I bought a pair for one of my friends who also loves earrings. The fact that they dangle from your ears and look like falling stars is so pretty. I think they were also handmade. (Bought on Poshmark).
11) Stila Rouge Lip Stain. I wear this lip color a lot, and find it goes well with my other makeup, and is just a nice color in general. However the tube is not labeled with the shade of color that it is. :( They're listed for $22 each on the Ulta website, but this one specifically I bought was around $7.
12) I'm a big fan of hats so here are my favorites. From Amazon, Poshmark, and the March for Life. Pom hats for the win.
13) This sweater is a current favorite. My mom bought it for me for Christmas last year from TJ Maxx. The clothing brand is Marled Reunited Clothing. The puffed shoulders are a little extra, but I get complimented a lot when I wear it.
The list stops at 13 for now, but I put more products in this blog then just 13. I will probably add more products as I come across them. :) For the products above I would say it's best to look around for the best price. A lot of products can be found for cheaper elsewhere, like a secondhand website like Poshmark or even Ebay.
