September Favorites

Ultra Mini Platform UGGS

I treated myself to new UGGS for the fall and couldn’t be happier. I love the ultra mini, but didn’t know if I’d loved he platform. Being 5’4” I appreciate the little extra boost it gives me. I did almost turn an ankle a few times, but getting used to the platform and love. They are really comfortable and look so cute with leggings and crew socks.

Lululemon Cotton Long Sleeve Shirt

Weird Lulu is on my list again. My girlfriend turned me on to these long sleeve shirts and now I have two colors. They are the perfect length and a great layer for the fall and winter. I have it in the blue and black and now eyeing the grey. I live in layers during the colder months so I’ll be wearing these a lot.

Ray-Bans

I got these on my girls trip in Newport Beach last month and so glad I did. They are a cute and sporty fit and don’t completely break the bank like other designer sunglasses. They fit well with a hat on which is a must for me.

Magnesium

I’ve tried a lot of different magnesium supplements over the years and I’ve found myself circling back to this one because I think it works the best. I like the flavor of the berry one and it’s a nightly ritual I enjoy to help me wind down before bed.

Rare Beauty Bronzing Stick

I get this in shade Happy Sol and it’s so creamy and blends beautifully on the skin. I love a bronzer that applies as a stick because it’s pretty fool proof. I blend it with a damp beauty blender and then add my liquid blush on top in color Happy (a little goes a long way).

Refy Primer

I have seen this makeup primer all over my Tik Tok and decided to give it a try. The fact that it has niacinamide in it makes it dual purpose as that ingredient brightens the skin and diminishes red spots and blemishes. I love that the applicator is a roller and hydrates the skin before applying your makeup. I would argue that a good primer is the most important step in your makeup routine and something hydrating is critical. This one hits all the marks.

Summer Fridays Lip Balm

I just picked up a bunch of these lip balms for the car, my purse and tennis bag and I am loving the new colors (especially Vanilla Beige).. they are super subtle, hydrating, but add a little color to the lip for a more polished and put together look when the rest of me is not put together. I love this formula.. probably why Hailey Bieber tried to knock it off with her version.

Aquaphor Stick

Where have these been all my life? Totally life changing. I have pretty dry skin in general so I love having this stick when I’m on the go to apply to any rough or flaky patches. My eyebrows randomly peel/flake so I use the stick on them not only to hydrate but to also keep them in place.. kind of like laminating them. I also apply Aquaphor to my eyelashes to keep them curled when I don’t want to wear mascara. This stick is also great for my kids because they don’t mind me applying it in this form when they have chapped skin or lips.
