There are some things I use so often, I can’t imagine not having them. Since I recommend them so highly, I thought they deserved their own post. I use these things nearly everyday, and if not every day, at least once a week. And including the price as of today so you know before you click! The links will take you to exactly where I bought these items from.
These are my favorite brand of leggings (besides lululemons)! They’re super affordable- only 2/$24 if you sign up for VIP- and are quality. I have yet to have problems with this brand and I’ve tried so many styles. What’s even cooler is they update styles every month so you get to pick something different for half the price of lulus. I also love that they come in sets, like this one which is perfect around the holidays!
Hot Tools Curling Wand- $59.99
I have had SO many people ask me how I do my hair! If I choose to do my hair, I always use this wand. Since my hair has gotten longer, the larger barrel on this wand is so nice. It gives me either curls or waves depending on how I use it. It’s a little bit of an investment, but I love it. There are different heat settings, too.
Burt’s Bees Chapstick- $5.49 for two
If you know me, you know I keep this on my keys so I have it with me everywhere I go. It’s nice especially during the colder months of the year. I paired this with a chapstick holder I just found on Amazon.
It’ a 10 Miracle Leave in Product- $22.54
I don’t feel complete if I don’t use this after my shower. This is basically the only hair product you’ll need. It’s actually called It’s a 10 because it does these ten things: . I’ve tried so many hair products, and this one is definitely the best I’ve found. It also is a little more expensive than other drugstore products, but it lasts me so long I definitely would spend the twenty something bucks on it. I’ve also found it’s the cheapest on Amazon rather than Target or Ulta!
I credit this brush to my hair growth. Period. Once I stopped breaking my hair from brushing it after every shower and tugging through it at the end of the day it started to grow super fast. I’ve never tried knockoff brands so I don’t know how those compare, but this brush is key in keeping your hair healthy and avoiding breakage while also being a secret weapon for growing your hair out!
So this is a new one for me. I’ve had acne as long as I can remember and was looking for a new regimen. I was torn between Bioclarity and another similar online brand (I think Curology). What sold me on this one, though, was the discount they were running plus that it’s a cruelty-free brand. I saw ads about feeling good about the products you put on your skin. A quick look at the products and I knew that I 1. could pronounce them all and 2. they all seemed naturally derived. I was also desperate for anything, so I ordered the set for acne. What I really enjoyed was the variety of products-not just a tube of face wash or a product. I ended up also ordering the other products to try as well. The face masks are so worth it and so fun. There’s definitely a noticeable difference when I use them. I also really enjoy that the products are strong, but not irritating. If you’ve dealt with acne and the products sold to help you know the cycle of breakout, apply strong chemical cream, get splotchy red and dry spots, cover in moisturizer, breakout, etc. I haven’t had any irritation. None. This is rare for me. I think in the end that’s the part I love the most. The products are so easy and gentle enough to use everyday but also effective enough to make it worth it. If I haven’t sold you on this one feel free to check out other acne regimens, especially because everyone’s skin is unique.
Not Your Mother’s Dry Shampoo- $5.99
I am the biggest fan of dry shampoo. This has also been a game changer in making my hair healthier and grow longer, faster. You’re not supposed to wash your hair everyday and with this dry shampoo I haven’t had to. There are plenty of dry shampoos out there that do the trick, I just personally have found this one to work best for me and it smells amazing.
Apple iPad Pro- $ depends on model
10/10 for college students. I love my macbook, but I have a hard time choosing between that and the iPad. The best part is definitely the pencil. I’ve loved having it this past year and taking my class notes on it. You don’t have to carry notebooks around or worry about grabbing the wrong binder, you just have to make sure it’s charged, or you sit by an outlet so you can charge it in class. My favorite part is importing pdf versions of professor’s lecture slides so I can write directly on the slides and fill in anything that they say that isn’t on the slide already.
