The Best Gifts To Give + Receive This Holiday Season

Holiday gifts are so hard to give. You can be basic and go with a mug or something (which I love don’t get me wrong) but I personally like to give more meaningful gifts. I like giving refills on fav products, fun kits for a hobby they enjoy, sentimental items or very nice useful items and creative gifts and experiences. Here are my picks:

#3 is a good option bc it is also sentimental and you can pick the perfect destination for your loved one.
 
6. A painted portrait of their pet
I did this for my roommates in college + they loved it so much!! I just reached out to one of my artsy friends and sent her pictures of each of their pets, I bought her the canvas’ and paid her for her work. Idk how I can ever top that present.



7. Tickets to an event/experience
I love getting Taylor Swift concert tickets for Christmas + birthdays. Last year, I got Jacob + I tickets to the aquarium to swim with beluga whales. It was so much fun!! + such a unique experience.




8. Canvas prints of special photos
For my mom’s birthday a few weeks ago, we got her a canvas print from my wedding for her. She loved it. Canvas prints are so nice and pricey and make the perfect sentimental gift. We also wrote little notes to her on the backside of the canvas for added sentimental value.

9. The Revlon Hair Styler
The only hair styler you truly need. Like here are so many ways to style your hair with this one tool. It is so easy to use and dries your hair insanely quick. + this is coming from a gal with thicc hair + used to have very long hair!

10. Quality Work Out Apparel
Sports bra
Leggings
Tank

What are your fav gifts to give/receive???

My Skin Care Routine

Follow me



I have been trying to get a lot better at taking care of my skin. I realize I’m 23.. aging is real.. the sun is realer (lol) + I’m sick of always wearing makeup. I want my skin to breathe… take away all the acne scarring I have from picking my middle school acne face like a two year old picks his nose. Also, I want my makeup to sit better on my skin and last longer.

So I went on the hunt for a GREAT skincare routine.
I’ve learned that investing in skincare is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It’s sooo worth it. I have seen such a transformation in my skin the past few months since I have started this process. 

Also, everyone’s skin is different and needs different things and this is the process that works for me. I have always used products targeted towards oily skin bc I thought my skin was oily, but once I started using regular products for the skin my face wasn’t as oily anymore. I’ve never been the one to be all about natural products and cautious of the products I put in my body. I know that sounds bad, but it has never been on my radar. When I do see products that are more natural, it has started peaking my interest. This skincare has been some of the first natural products I have incorporated into my life. I’m a major supporter of this line.


+ to preface… these products are expensive, I know. I’m on a budget. 
However, they work.. like really work + they last soooo long bc you don’t need much product.
It’s cheaper than botox later on.


I start by taking my makeup off with Garnier Micellar Water. I love this stuff, it is so refreshing! 

Next, I cleanse my skin with the jelly cleanser. 

Dab my face with a dry wash cloth. I don’t rub.. just dab.

Morning:
I use the Vitamin C Day Serum
I press this product into my skin as well… not rubbing it in.

Night:
I use the Glycolic Night Serum two to three nights a week.
Again, I press into skin and not rub my face with it.

After the serums, I press with my ring finger the eye cream under and around my eyes.

I top my routine off with the polypeptide cream to moisturize my skin.

I wish I would have taken before and after pictures of my skin before using this product, but I had no idea how much it was going to transform my skin.

Since it is such a pricey product line… I recommend starting off with this kit. That way you can try the products before hand. That is what I did.


Lmk what questions y’all have about these products and I will do my best to answer them!!!

XOXO,
E.
