These are a few of my favorite things: Winter Edition

I come bearing a peace offering. I understand that it has been nearly two months since we last engaged in witty (or non-witty, whichever you prefer) banter, so I come to you today with a list of gifts. While I am no Oprah and cannot obviously afford to personally bequeath you with all of this splendid little luxuries, I hope that you will take my recommendations to heart and treat yourself to one or all of ‘my winter favorites’. After all, with a dab of nailpolish and the warming scent of an apple cinnamon candle you will be sure to remember that it’s all va bene.

5.       Pureology hair care
With my naturally messy lion’s mane, winter’s moisture often has me resembling the love child of Mufasa and Don King. I am obsessed with the Pureology Hydrate System line of shampoo and conditioner, the amazing peppermint scent and super hydrating formula makes me look forward to taming the inner beast. 

4.       Insta Dry nail polish
If you know me, you know that I am a bit OCD about painting my nails. I haven’t met a chipped or nude nail that a quick squat and 30 seconds with this amazing product, Insta Dry Nail Polish by Sally Hansen, hasn’t taken care of. When I say 30 seconds, I mean it, this amazing formula dries before your eyes and will have you polished and out the door in minutes! Cheers to top coats!

3.       Johnson  baby lotion
I am a sucker for nostalgia, and to me there is nothing like the soft sweet scent of Johnson & Johnson baby lotion to throw me right back to the day. You can almost always find the huge classic pink bottle right on my bedstand, it is amazing for that icky dry wintery skin, I slather it on right after a shower and love falling asleep to the wistful scent of babyhood. PS- it also doesn’t help that this product is ridiculously cheap and comes in all sorts of other soothing scents, my second favorite being the super calming lavender.

       2.  Febreez Cinnamon Apple Candle
I enjoy curling up in bed to this cozy quasi-holiday scent almost year round. I light this candle and let it coz-ify my entire apartment, since it is Febreeze the scent is super concentrated and literally permeates every room of my apartment. My advice? Stock up on these babies right after the holidays, they are super cheap and 3 or 4 will last you an entire year!

1.       AquaphorWithout a shadow of a doubt, Aquaphor is the one and only product that I could not live without! I slather this incredibly affordable product all over, from my lips and cuticles to the roughness around my nose after I’ve had a cold. Much to my boyfriend’s disdain, I also love to add this to my evening moisturizing routine, it locks in my night cream and has me waking up to super fresh skin.

   

Happy shopping!
