December 2017 Favorites

Hello beautiful friends! I hope you're New Year is off to a fantastic start.

Now that 2018 has officially arrived and December has come to an end, it's about time I share with you some of my favorite products from this past month. That's probably not a surprise though, the title says it all.

I'll admit when it came to testing out new products or putting together new outfits this month, I was slacking quite a bit. Working at Walt Disney World during the holidays is crazy, very tiring, and a bit overwhelming, but would I trade my experience from it? Not at all. Since the mouse kept me busy, I don't have as many products to share as I usually do, but here are a few that I found myself grabbing day after day.

1. Bath and Body Work Vanilla Bean Noel Body Butter

I.Love.Body.Butter.  From the packing and scent to the moisturizing effect, everything about this product is perfect. When December arrives, I always make sure to pick up this scent from Bath and Body Works. This year I decided to try out the body butter, and it's safe to say I'll be getting this every year. The body butter make my skin extremely soft and it actually keeps my skin moisturized for 24 hours. The scent reminds me of cupcakes, and who doesn't love cupcakes? 

2. Maple Holistics Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner 

I've been looking to try out more body, hair, and skin care products that contain less harsh chemicals and more natural ingredients. The shampoo and conditioner set from Maple Holistics is a great all natural hair care option. It's sulfate-free, fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.

The shampoo is made up of jojoba oil, almond oil, peach kernel, camellia seed, avocado, and botanical keratin with the main ingredient being argan oil. The conditioner is made up of aloe vera, shea butter, organic pomegranate, hibiscus, green tea, and sea buckthorn with the main ingredient being argan oil like the shampoo.

When using this set I noticed my hair was shinier and softer than normal. However, the only downside was that the shampoo made my hair a little more tangled than normal. I'm not sure if that is because I have long hair, or it's because of the natural ingredients. Overall, I would recommend giving this product a try if you're looking to switch to an all natural, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. You can try this product for free by signing up for their free sample program.

3. Disney Necklace 

This was a gift I got for Christmas, so it's still new, but ever since I got it, I have worn it almost everyday. This necklace says, "If you can dream it, you can do it." It's a quote from Walt Disney that means a lot to me. It reminds me that I can accomplish anything I set my mind to, and no dream is too big to achieve.

I've been wearing the necklace with my silver Minnie Mouse bangle my roommate got me for Christmas. Both have gotten a lot of use towards the end of the month, and go so well together.


4. Revlon Lipstick 'Pink in the Afternoon'

Over the summer, I found out the exact lipstick Audrey Hepburn wears in Breakfast At Tiffany's, so naturally I had to buy it. It's the shade 'Pink in the Afternoon' by Revlon. It took me a few trips to various stores to find it, but I finally found it at Ulta. This past month, I found myself always grabbing this lip color when I needed a natural shade. It's the perfect peachy-pink shade that can be worn for any occasion. 

5. Rose Gold

My last favorite is a little broad. This past month, I've had a minor obsession with just about anything rose gold colored. From sequin Minne Mouse ears and jewelry, to eyeshadow, clothing, and Starbuck's cups, you name it I most likely have it in this trendy hue. The best part? It looks like rose gold is here to stay in 2018!

Let me know in the comments what some of your favorite products or trends were throughout December, I'd love to hear what you've been into!
