2. Lemon Pomegranate cream body lotion from Bath & Body Works. I picked this scent up when I stopped in during their semi-annual sale back in January and I love it. It is so fresh and light and doesn't overwhelm you or anyone around you when you put it on. I keep this on my desk and work and it's the perfect lotion to have on hand. They have other products in this scent that I hope to pick up soon and try.
3. Olay Professionals ProX advanced cleansing system: I have been wanting a good cleansing brush for a long time but was not about to drop $100 or more to get one so when I walked into big-lots one day and saw this one for $15 I didn't hesitate for a second to add it to my cart. It retails for $30 which isn't a bad price at all and to find it for even cheaper than that was great. I use it every night and spend 30 seconds on my face using my regular face wash then I spend another 30 seconds with it using the cleanser that comes in the box with it. It feels so good knowing all my makeup is coming off and I love that I am able to use it daily without it affecting my skin in a harsh way.
4. Coffee Mate Coconut Creamer: I die. This stuff is AMAZING. I get it an Ingles which is local to western North Carolina but I'm sure other grocery retailers carry it as well. They only sell it in the over sized bottles as well so I know I get my worth when I purchase it. I work with a total of 9 people and only 2 of us in the office drink coffee so when we brew a full pot of coffee (we're not about the keurig life in the office) I usually end up with at least 3 cups full of coconut coffee goodness.
5. Urban Decay Perversion Mascara: I am not one to promote spending this much on mascara, ever, so when I got a gift card to ULTA I headed there to originally purchase Two-Faced better than sex mascara. When I got there they were out of that one and because I am impatient I just HAD to get mascara that day so a rep from Urban Decay tried this one on me and I loved it. It does come off as a clumpy (in a good way) mascara so if clumpy isn't your thing then definitely don't purchase this. It makes my lashes thick and long at the same time which is great in my book. I usually wear a lengthening mascara and then a thickening mascara together so I love having something that is all together in one.
5. This Quote, "Try to love yourself as much as you want someone else to." I love the meaning behind this. Why is it so hard for us to see the good in ourselves that those around us see. We are our biggest critics so if we start to see ourselves in the way others do imagine how good that would make us feel. I know how hard I can be on myself especially when it comes to looks so when Michael tells me I'm beautiful instead of saying "eh he's just saying that because he loves me" maybe I should really listen to that and believe it. Obviously I don't mean that in an arrogant, conceited way but as a generation that can be really tough on ourselves we should take the time to love ourselves instead of be negative.
