2021 Favorite Things

Trader Joe's has some great beauty products, and this antioxidant face serum is one of them!

Infused with shea butter, coconut oil, argan oil, Vitamin E, Pro-Vitamin B5, keratin, and a variety of plant-based extracts, Trader Joe's Hair Serum is notably silky & moisturizing, yet still lightweight.

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb lip luminizer isn't too sticky. All the colors seem universally flattering. It's moisturizing and lip enhancing!

I use this over my hand cream at night to keep my hands in good shape in winter. Also good on feet before putting on socks.

Dashing Diva nail strips stay on as long as you want them to. You don't have to use a base coat or top coat, but they may look nicer if you do. Nail art made easy!

This is an overnight glycolic acid treatment. Bliss has long made many great skincare products.

Rodan & Fields Instant Makeup Remover Wipes are a great way to start your cleansing or to finish it off to get the makeup your cream cleanser didn't remove. Or use them alone if you don't wear a lot of makeup.

The video about this cleansing balm convinced me to buy it and try it. Love. I use it as a first step, and then I layer a gentle cream cleanser on top.

I layer this on top of the cleansing balm, and together, both remove my makeup and leave my skin feeling soft and clean.

Glossier hand cream is a new favorite. The fragrance is not too strong, and it isn't too slick.

Glossier Body Hero daily oil wash is perfect right now. My skin looks and feels great after I step out of the shower.

Glossier Ultralip is my new favorite. I have the color Vesper, great for fall/winter.

I'm gaga for both the Glossier Milk Jelly Cleanser and Futuredew. My skin feels so soft and looks super dewy, which is nice this time of year when skin starts to look dry.

I use this lash serum, and it works! If you have a Costco membership, you can get a two-pack for the same price as this single.

A chocolate bar with no sugar added. It uses Stevia and a sugar alcohol to sweeten instead.

Mine & John's favorite after dinner/lunch treat. They are hard to resist!

I like to top pepper jelly on cream cheese for a very quick crowd-pleasing appetizer. I offer Wheat Thins on the side.

Make your own bagels and cream cheese this holiday! Yum.

Truly, Vosges Chocolates are some of the best I've ever tasted. They hail from Chicago where I first had a cup of their hot cocoa. Totally hooked. These make a great gift to you or a chocolate-loving loved one!

I add this to my morning protein shake because I love chocolate that much. ;)

I have used this one and made it has a hot cocoa. I also add it to my morning shake. I love it. I'll take all the super foods I can get!
