January Favorites

Happy 1st day of February! January was a long, cold month in NYC, but here are a few things that made it a little more enjoyable!

 

1. Ice Amulet Bracelet: I got this bracelet from my cousin (thanks Patricia!) for Christmas and I have worn it basically every day since. It’s small and dainty, but gives my wrist a little bling.

2. Simple Micellar Makeup Removing Wipes: I had heard tons about micellar water and how great it is for removing makeup, so when I saw these wipes at Costco, I decided to give them a try. They do a wonderful job removing makeup, even liquid eyeliner comes off without having to scrub. They don’t burn around my eyes, which was my biggest complaint with other brands of wipes.

3. Glam Glow Thirsty Mud: This is the most hydrating face mask I have ever tried, and believe me I’ve tried a ton! In the winter my skin gets really dry and rough, and just 15 minutes with this on my face, and my skin is like new. I have a few other Glam Glow masks as well and they are all excellent.

4. Beauty Blender: I never thought I could love a little pink sponge this much, but I do. It does a great job of applying foundation and blending under eye concealer. I love the finish that it gives my face, it looks super natural, better than any foundation brush I have used in the past. I got the version that comes with the Blender Cleanser Solid, which cleans the Beauty Blender better than anything I had tried before.

5. Dave’s Killer Bread: We buy this bread at Costco in pack of two, freeze one and refrigerate the other so it stay fresh throughout the week. The bread is great for sandwiches and toast, and is the only bread we buy other than the occasional roll or Italian Bread. It’s organic, non-GMO, whole grain and has 5 grams of both protein and fiber per slice.

6. Sperry Saltwater Duck Booties: After Blizzard Jonas hit, these were the only shoes I wore for days. They kept my feet dry and toasty, and looked super cute doing it. I had wanted a pair of duck boots forever and I am so glad that my wonderful husband got me these for Christmas because they came in so handy for the storm.

7. Kikki-K Personal Planner: I received the Kikki-K for my birthday in September, but didn’t really start using it until after the New Year because that is when my Inkwell Press A5 planner inserts started. I love the flexibility of a ring bound planner, how I can use any type of insert and totally customize it to my needs. It keeps me put together!

8. Eddie Bauer Westbridge Parka: I love Eddie Bauer for coats. They are waterproof, durable, super warm and super cute. I already had a fall/early winter coat from Eddie Bauer that is older than Alex, but still looked like new. When I started looking for a new winter coat, Eddie Bauer was a no-brainer. This coat is cute,  so, so warm, and best of all, comes in tall sizes, which this 6 foot lady really appreciates.
