Gift Ideas

As many of you know, Brad and I have lived together for over three years. We're lucky enough to already have everything we could need! We'd really appreciate your help with a special experience on our honeymoon (click here):

We've been wanting to redo our windows and doors for the longest time! We'll be putting monetary gifts towards home renovations and our honeymoon.

We do most of our shopping at Aldi, Amazon, Kroger, Target, and Trader Joe's; gift cards to any of these places would be great!

We like to eat out once a week and occasionally try new places - a gift card to your favorite restaurant (in the Memphis area) would be appreciated.

We have created an Amazon registry (click here) for various household items:

Since we have four (sometimes stinky) cats, we can never have enough candles (or wax melts); we both really like clean or woodsy scents. Voluspa Moso Bamboo is one of our latest favorites - you can find it at Merry Magnolia.

Empties #26

I finished up 32 products in August & September. Most of the products I have "meh"/indifferent feelings about.

I finished up a lot of staples (like Tom's Mouthwash and Plackers Dental Flossers - great for Invisalign) and have already repurchased them. I do want to mention a few favorites, that I've also already repurchased or will soon.

September Favorites

DHC Lip Cream
I finally realized fragranced lip balms were only making my chapped lips worse. My lips respond really well to Lanolin - aka Nipple Cream. While you can get a large bottle for under $10, it just isn't ideal to tote around and apply on-the-go. I'm loving this lip cream - or balm, rather. I really appreciate the lipstick-like packaging and no fragrance. It leaves a nice sheen behind; my chapped lips have improved a lot. I hope this works well in the winter, too!

July & August Favorites

It's been a long time since I missed a monthly favorites post! The first week of August was pretty hectic for me; I never got around to sharing my July Favorites. I hope you don't mind this two-in-one! I've been really into minimal makeup lately. I'm sure it's a mixture of the heat and working from home.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Care Stick SPF 15
I was looking for a really moisturizing lip balm with SPF to take on my vacation to Florida. This lip balm had glowing reviews. My lips have responded really well to this - probably because it doesn't have any fragrance additives! It doesn't taste or smell great, but I like the moisture it provides.
