Every month I try something new and most of the time these are things that I will carry forth for the rest of my life. I wanted to share these favorites with more people! If I find something that adds to my life in a positive way, you can be sure to find that thing/product/food here.

Smoothies & My fav protein powder
Warm weather makes me crave smoothies a ton. I love how refreshing they are and it’s an easy way to get more micronutrients in (fruits and veggies). I also love to add a protein powder in mine.
I love adding in my 1Up Nutrition protein. My fav this month is the Unicorn Doughnut flavor and it is by far my favorite. It tastes just like candy which makes my smoothies taste like a real treat.

Lola
I also hopped on the Lola bandwagon. I love my tampons and how much better they feel. I never have problems anymore with my tampons, or feeling more crampy. Honestly, switching to a 100% cotton brand was the best decision I’ve made! Read my review here.

Fre skin care cleanser
This one is actually pretty new to me. Usually I just use a face wash and go about my day but I needed something for when I sweat a lot or wear makeup. I only like to use my facewash in the morning and I will use my natural soap at night. I desperately needed a cleanser. I finally tried Fre Skincare and I am not disappointed. Fre was originally created for gym rats after a sweaty workout to help with breakouts from sweat sitting on the skin. It is on the pricier side BUT they do have codes to save ya $$. I got the face cleanser and I’ve been using it for about a week and already notice a difference. It really cleans deep and my skin is so smooth after, not dried up like other cleansers do. I also liked that they don’t have a ton of ingredients in their products and they do have ingredients such as jojoba oil.
There are other cleansers out there that are much cheaper but this one was conveniently shipped to my home since most stores are closed and it was perfect timing for me to try it.
Ipsy
I receive an Ipsy bag every month and I have for the last few years. They’ve been my fav since day one. I love how each bag is personalized for you with five products.
I also love that they send you things to try out that you normally wouldn’t. I’ve found so many great products this way!!
And the best part about them is that you earn points for reviews which you can apply towards products you love at a discounted price specifically for Ipsy gals.
This month I received:
Christophe Robin scalp cleansing purifying scrub (with sea salt crystals):
I have a bad eczema scalp problem and most of the time just a vitamin E oil mixed with rapeseed oil is enough to help soothe it. I started using this in place of my shampoo (Love Beauty and Earth) and my scalp has been doing 100000x’s better. I love that the salt crystals are super gentle on my head and melt away in the warm water. My hair was so soft after too. It also helps with build up after skipping washes, Hello dry shampoo!
Sugar Cosmetics wingman waterproof eyeliner in I’ll Be Black (Felt tip eyeliner pen):
I seriously loved this eyeliner. I’m not a huge fan of many brands but this one did not disappoint. I love that the pen makes it so much easier to wing you liner. Bye-bye to the days of taking 10 minutes to apply one eye.
Helios livin’ Lovely Nail Polish:
Honestly guys, this nail polish goes on so smooth and I really love the color. It’s a gorgeous Easter egg purple and perfect for this time of year! I’m taking advantage of quarantine to paint my nails every week and this color is going to be on repeat.
Space Case Cosmetics Fakecation Bronzer:
I am so grateful for Ipsy and their support team. This product arrived all broken up which is the FIRST time this has happened and I’ve been getting Ipsy for years. I reached out to them because there is no way I could use this as a bronzer without getting too much product on my brush. They are sending me a brand new one with many apologies (it’s okay Ipsy! I still love you) and I am using this one as an eye shadow instead since those brushes are smaller and easier to work with on broken powders. No wasting here.
It’s a gorgeous golden shade and I loveeee it so far! Bronzers are great for summer with the perfect glow.
Glossier Priming Moisturizer Rich
Man oh man. This moisturizer is amazing. My skin is super sensitive and this is one of the very few moisturizers that doesn’t bother my skin one bit.
This is another reason why I love Ipsy. I am sent name brand products for $12 each month (cheaper annually) and I can see what works for me and what doesn’t. If I am sent too many of the same thing, I change my preferences on their beauty quiz, and I gift my unopened extra’s to friends and family.
The bags are super cute too! I usually use them as clutches or to hold and organize things, especially in my purse.
