Happy Thursday y’all! What a week it has been. I swear everything is moving crazy fast and I’m trying so hard to keep up before the holidays! We have our work Christmas Party/Secret Santa tonight that I’m excited about, and then I have to jet set to my friend Nikki’s for our White Elephant Christmas Party with a ton of my girl friends. We did Friendsgiving a few weeks back in November, and it was so much fun that we decided to do White Elephant/cookie exchange for Christmas. I made this killer concoction of sugar cookie dough with birthday cake Oreos stuffed in, then a layer of peanut butter chips and chocolate chip cookie dough on top! I tried one bite last night and immediately got cavities, but ’tis the season right?

Today I’m excited to share some of my tried-and-true favorites in a fun gift guide! I feel like sometimes gift guides can always be so impersonal, with just screenshots in a college and not much else showcasing that you actually truly stand by the product. Alas, these items are some that I’ve been using for months and would make a great addition to anyone’s stocking! Let me know what y’all think, have a great day and thanks for reading!

Aveda Shampure Composition Oil is a calming aromatic oil for bath, body and scalp. Personally, I’ve become obsessed with scalp treatments, mainly because mine can get so dry, and Aveda has been my go-to! The Shampure line smells amazing, and something about it is just so relaxing.

NYX Professional Makeup Brush Set – because you can never have too many brushes right? These come with a cute little pouch, and perfect to keep at your desk in the office whenever you need a little touch up. They make a great gift for a friend too!

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Lipstick is easily a liquid lipstick that instantly makes you feel like you’re a kick-ass beauty vlogger. It doesn’t dry out your lips, and has such a a vibrant color. My favorite is the red for holiday season.

GLAMGlow Pot Mud Wet Lip Balm has been a lifesaver for me. It’s thicker than a normal chapstick, and I typically use a mauve pink tint to hide my cracked lips, especially in the winter. It’s a great way to get some color without drying everything out!

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub smells so sweet and is a great exfoliant. I use mine whenever I need to shave my legs or if I’m just looking to get some extra exfoliation. The best part? This brand is extremely affordable and available at Target/Walgreens!

WEI Purifying Mud Mask is great on those nights you just want to relax. One set comes with eight individual pots of masks, and a brush to help apply. WEI also has a ton of great sheet masks that are always perfect to throw in a gift for your girlfriend.

essie polish in “penny talk,” is a great copper color for the holiday season. I usually stay away from metallics, but penny talk has me hooked. It’s still a neutral metallic, so you’re taking a risk without stepping too far out there.

Samsung Level U Bluetooth Headphones have been a God-send, especially when bundling up in the winter. They’re practically noise cancelling, considering the go so comfortably in your ear. I have two pairs in case on ever dies, highly recommend!
