What I’ve Been Loving Lately

Hello everyone!

Today I want to talk about a few things I’ve been loving lately. Kind of like those YouTube favorites videos, but in blog form! After the holiday season, there were definitely a few gifts I got that I’ve been using non-stop since, and I just haven’t done any updates of my favorite things in a while in general. If you’re interested in seeing various product recommendations, keep on reading!

Glossier balm.com in mint – My all-time favorite chapstick, but I hadn’t tried the mint flavor until recently. It’s very soothing and I feel like it definitely tingles a bit more than the other flavors. I highly recommend any of the flavors of this lip balm though.
Cheer documentary series on Netflix – This was SO entertaining. As you guys know, I do high school cheer and I did competitive cheer in middle school, so I still keep up with the competitive cheer world. It was awesome to get an inside perspective on a top college team, especially a team like Navarro that I had actually heard of and followed along with before. I highly recommend this even if you don’t do cheer.
Pink Sugar perfume – My all-time favorite perfume, I’ve been using it even more than usual lately. It smells so good and I feel like it smells good on everyone. I’ve used up half of my bottle.
Good Trouble on Hulu – The sequel to The Fosters which I also enjoyed, this was a fast binge watch for me. I really enjoyed the diversity of characters and topics covered in the show, especially the important issues it drew attention to and the insight it gave on what it’s like to be a woman in the workforce.
Trader Joe’s Ice Cream Bon Bons with Cookie Dough Crust – These are soooo good. My mom got them to try them out and I ate the whole box within a couple days- oops.
Chipotle burritos – I know this is super basic, but I never used to eat at Chipotle until this year. I normally would go to Sharky’s for my Mexican food fix, but lately their chicken didn’t taste very fresh. Chipotle always tastes fresh and I can’t go more than a few days without getting a burrito.
Rocketbook reusable notebook – I asked for this for Christmas (you can get one on Amazon) and it’s the coolest thing ever. You can write your notes, have them sent to the app on your phone, erase the pages and use them all over again. It’s an eco-friendly and high-tech way to take notes!
Brandy Melville butterfly jewelry – I got a few pairs of butterfly earrings and a butterfly necklace for Christmas from Brandy. They’re so cute and dainty, and they’ll match everything while still adding flair to my outfit.
Patagonia fleece – I got a black fleece zip-up from Patagonia for my trip to Seattle in November, and I wore it almost everyday. It was so warm and comfortable and since I got it in black, it’ll match anything. I think it’s definitely worth the high price since it will last you a long time.
PJ Salvage flannel pajamas – These pajamas are normally very overpriced, but I found a set at Nordstrom Rack for half off. They are SO comfortable and I’ve worn them almost every other night since I opened them on Christmas Eve. I highly recommend trying to find some on sale.
Squatty Potty – I got this for Christmas as a jokey-yet-practical gift. It’s so helpful and I honestly understand the hype. I won’t give TMI, but it definitely speeds up and smooths out the bathroom process.

I hope you guys like these things if you end up checking any of them out for yourself! Feel free to ask me any questions if you want to know more- I know these descriptions were brief.
