I can't believe it's already the end of 2016! Where did time go?! This year I've accumulated more beauty products than I could have ever imagined. My acrylic cosmetic containers that I keep on my bathroom vanity have overfilled despite adding new boxes/drawers to it multiple times this year. I only keep my most current and used products in it too! (You should see my what's under my sink and in my cabinets...definitely need to declutter soon!). I don't know how much bigger I can make it before it just takes up my entire bathroom. This year I've tried many new products, found new holy grails, changed and added to my beauty/skincare routine. I wanted to share with you my favorite products I've been using the most this past year. Some of these are new this year, some are rediscovered and some are favorites I've used for years. Most of these I use every day in my beauty routine...

I can't believe it's already December! This semester has gone by so quickly! I've been so busy the past 3 weeks with 10 final exams (3rd year Optometry student), but just finished my last one today! Glad to say all of them went well and I finished the semester strong. Anyways, the past week or so I've been reading everyone's "Holiday Gift Guides" and have become so excited for the holidays! I spent some time and came up with my top 21 favorite gifts all under $50. Most of these are for women so your Mom, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, girlfriend, friend, etc but there are some that could be for the men in your life too! Some of them are super random but I promise will change your life...
