It's 2020 - You Need These Things In Your Life
Hello loves! I hope everyone had a great holiday season filled with friends, family, and food. For my first blog post of 2020, I’m sharing all the products that I cannot live without. Everything from fashion to kitchen appliances - these are all my favorites. Some of these products I discovered in 2019, while others I have been using for years. I love writing these posts each year … it’s so fun to look back and see what I was loving each year. Let’s hop into the favorites!
HOME/SELF CARE
This improves a bubble bath by 100%. With this shelf you can easily relax without worrying about spilling your drink or your phone/book falling into the tub.
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know how much I love this thing. You keep it in the freezer and roll it on your face to de-puff and prevent circulation.
This gadget makes it so easy to open a bottle of wine. If you struggle with opening a bottle with a traditional opener, you need this (and I found mine for $15).
My parents have had one for years, and I finally decided to buy my own a few months ago. This machine makes it so easy to make great smoothies, and the blender acts as a cup so there are less dishes to wash.
Y’all KNOW I love this moisturizer. It’s nourishing, yet since it’s oil free it doesn’t clog your pores. If you buy one product from Tula, it should be this one.
Not only does this product give you a great, natural looking tan, but it only takes 2 hours to develop! If you wait until the last minute to tan, this is for you.
This powder perfectly mattifies the skin and locks in foundation. Even though this powder is a bit pricey, a little goes a long way (it’ll last you FOREVER).
I own two shades of this lipstick (LA Lady and Lay Over) and they’re both great. This formula is creamy, pigmented, and only costs $7.
Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lip
Anytime I wear a JSC shade I get so many compliments! This formula does not budge … even when eating and drinking. Christmas cookie is my favorite nude shade, but I own 3 others (you can’t go wrong!)
The best tinted brow gel! I use the brown shade on top of my brow pencil to lock everything in place. Since it is tinted, if I’m not wearing a full face of makeup I’ll use this on its own.
This bubble bath is incredible affordable and makes the best bubbles! It comes in multiple varieties but since I like to unwind with a bath after work I like the lavender to help me relax before bed.
Kate Somervillle Eradikate Daily Cleanser
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love this. It’s formulated with sulfur, which does a great job at combatting acne. I have used prescription sulfur face washes in the past and this works just as well at a fraction of the cost.
I LIVE in these sweats. They’re the softest sweats I’ve ever owned and the slim leg allows them to easily be transitioned into a chic atheleisure look (for when you wear them outside the house).
Everybody needs a good sweater dress - and I’ve been living in this one from UO all winter. Sweater dresses are an incredibly versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down - while still keeping you comfy.
I don’t even have to say anything about these - they’re simply the best! I love pairing these with a tee for traveling or an oversized sweater and booties for work.
The best crop + leggings combo for working out and running errands! It’s super comfy, great for moving in, and comes in so many fun colors and prints. Plus, you save money if you buy the crop and leggings as a kit.
Whether I’m running errands or going out with friends, you can catch me rocking these shoes. I bought mine off of eBay, but I found a new version on the Nike site.
Another shoe that I live in! Whether it’s withs jeans or a dress, you will catch me wearing these. Yes they’re pricey, but I wear them all the time and I know they will last forever.
This reformation tank is so versatile and is the ultimate layering piece. I wore this all throughout the summer with midi skirts and jeans, and have transitioned it into fall and winter by layering it under jackets or over long sleeve tops.
The Alexa jeans fro 7 for All Mankind are the most comfy and flattering cropped flared jeans. I’m obsessed with this silhouette. Jeans are very personal, but 7 is one of my favorites for my body.
Let me know if you try any of the products mentioned in this post! I love sharing my favorites with y’all. Here’s to a great 2020!
