This was my first year blogging, but not my first year shopping! 😂 Haha I picked up so many good things last year and wanted to share them with y’all! This is a list of my favorite things that I bought from 2020!

 

CLOTHING

This Lounge Set is literally perfect! I love the neutral color and I’m obsessed with the texture! I’ve worn it with Ugg booties and I wore it on Christmas in the snow with my Gucci boots. It’s very versatile and you can dress it up or down or mix and match the separate pieces! I wore this to Thanksgiving and Christmas this year!

One of my other favorite staples for fall and winter are my Ugg ankle booties! They go with everything from dressing up to athleisure! They’re so warm and comfortable and I highly recommend them!

Bike Shorts and Band Tees had a HUGE moment last year! I loved every second of it! That is the easiest outfit to put together and it’s SO comfortable!! I’ve got two favorite brands of bike shorts! They’re so comfortable and suck you in, but don’t make you uncomfortable!

T-shirt Dresses got me through the HOT summer! They’re perfect and can be dressed up or down and they’re so comfortable!

MASKS

We wouldn’t be talking about 2020 if we didn’t include masks!! I have found some of the very best ones!! I’m obsessed with these cotton masks and the silk mask is absolutely perfect for preventing “mascne” and looking super chic!

These are my favorite sunglasses from 2020! They’re affordable, sturdy and definitely keep the sun out of your eyes! I love the shape and style! I also love that they’re kind of faded in the color!

SKIN CARE
In 2020 I discovered Colleen Rothschild skin care and it is AMAZING!!! It has completely changed the texture of my skin (for the better) and it has made my face so soft! Here are my favorites!
This beauty tool is exactly what you need to make sure you get ALL of you make up off! I have seen a dramatic decrease in blemishes since I started using this in July!!
I’ve heard about the GloPro for a couple of years and wondered if it was all it was cracked up to be. It is! I use it before I put on my skin care and it helps it soak in and I can notice a difference in skin elasticity! I use it on my whole face, but really focus under my eyes and on my lips!
This is THE BEST lip mask!! I like to keep one at my bedside and one in my purse to use as a lip balm!! It comes in several flavors, but the pink one is my favorite!
Quinton and I both got new toothbrushes last year! We love these toothbrushes because they have multiple settings, they’re easy to use, I love the color and they’re rechargeable! They’re also at an excellent price point!
We also got a new mouth wash last year! With all of the mask wearing and coffee drinking, it was very necessary! 😂 This is perfect because it prevents bad breath all day and prevents morning breath if used at night!
HOME
These rechargeable lighters are so cool!! They don’t use lighter fluid or flame, but they use electricity! and they’re rechargeable! So you never run out! They also have an “on/off” button, so they’re safer for children.
I cannot sleep without my weighted blanket. I never thought of myself as someone who had anxiety, but 2020 brought the best out in everyone! Haha These blankets are incredible!! I cannot sleep without one anymore! We’ve got several of them around the house, including one to use while you’re on the couch! I prefer the 20lb blankets, but they come in several different weights, including options for children and pets!
I also cannot sleep without my silk pillowcases now! They help a lot between hair washes and also help with my eyelash extension retention! I’m always sleeping on my side so my face rubs all over the pillow all night! They’re also perfect to help prevent acne. I can tell a huge difference since I’ve started using them! Quint loves them too and we’ve each got our own!
Y’all know I LOVE my eyelash extensions!! I had to go without them during quarantine and it was horrible!! But now I’ve got them back and I try to take really good care fo them! This mask has been helping me with retention! I sleep on my side so my eyelashes rub against the pillow all the time and would cause my eyelashes to fall out. But these masks have raised areas around the eyeballs to help prevent your eyes from rubbing the pillow! I’ve seen improvement in my retention between fills!
SELF CARE
Last year I bought a 64 oz. insulated water jug! I took that thing everywhere! It kept my water super cold and carried so much that I always had something to drink! I took it to the gym, Cycle Bar, to the park, work and everywhere else that I went! It helped me keep track of how much water I was drinking each day!
I buy a planner every year! That’s how I keep track of my plans, my expenses, my meal prep, and my exercise routine! I love to write things down and cross things off! Last year I got the best planner I’ve had so far! It helped keep me super organized and was broken down daily by the hour! It’s totally personalized and you can pick everything about it!I chose the “Toile Y’all” planner in black with my name and a gold coil! I got myself another one for this year and I can’t wait for it to come in!

One of THE BEST things that I came across this year is CBD. I was suffering from pretty severe panic attacks and severe anxiety that was crippling me out of no where. I’d never struggled with anxiety before 2020. It was terrifying and was completely consuming my life. I saw many people promoting Equilibria CBD and I liked that when you bought the Balance Box it came with an appointment with a dosage specialist where you can explain your situation and your goals and they give you a plan. I take a soft gel in the morning and half a dropper before sleep. I also use the muscle tub for menstrual cramps and after work outs. It is also very helpful for headaches and any sort of aches and pains. Sometimes I’ll mix the muscle rub with the oil and rub it on whatever is hurting and it’s incredible how well it works and how quickly! it’s also great for foot pain after walking thousands of steps at work! I very highly recommend one of the flavored oils. The unflavored isn’t bad, but if you’re sensitive to tastes, you’ll definitely prefer a flavor! I get the mint version and I love it! They also have seasonal flavors that look so good!

I started listening to Jessica Simpson’s Open Book during quarantine and I cannot say enough good things about it! You HAVE to listen to the audiobook because she narrates it and it makes it so much better! She is so raw and the book is so relatable! I really admire her for her courage and will to write the book! I couldn’t wait to hear more of the book! It’s SO good and I HIGHLY recommend it!!

Open Book by Jessica Simpson

I was also gifted the book Live in Love by Lauren Akins and it is SO good too!! “Live in Love is a deeply personal memoir that offers inspiring guidance for anyone looking to keep romance alive, balance children and marriage, express true faith, and live a life of purpose.” It’s another book I HIGHLY recommend!!

Live in Love Growing Together Through Life’s Changes by Lauren Akins
