Natalie's November Faves
I don’t know about you guys but from October - December I feel like I have one birthday after another. And then right before you know it, it’s the holidays. And after that its all a blur, haha!
I always love getting people stuff that I’ve actually tried and tested so that I know it’s REALLY that good. Whenever I’m loving something I add it to my handy dandy Christmas Spreadsheet that our dear Shaylan made us. If it’s something I think someone I know would like I add it to their list, and if not it goes on a miscellaneous list that I can refer back to for the future birthdays and other events.
So with all that said, here is a list of things I’m loving this month and are going on my list! Everything here I have personally tasted / tested / smelled / purchased… you get the picture! I’m gearing up for Christmas and I cannot wait!!!!!! If you’re a gift nut like me, check out some of our previous holiday gift guides on the blog and be sure to keep an eye out for 2020 one coming out later this month!
my picks for this month
Rainbow Embroidery Face Mask - I own two of these, and they are seriously my favorite masks! They fit my face so nicely and tightly!!! This is a big deal for me because as someone who wears glasses there is nothing worse then having your mask fog them up. You also cannot beat this adorable embroidery!
Faux Leather Puffer Jacket - Target does it again! I am SO picky with puffer jackets. I feel like they always look super awkward on me. So I was delighted to find this adorable puffer at Target in this sleek tan color. You also can’t beat the price!
Good Genes Win Win Duo - Ok so by the time this post is out it will be the last day to hit up the Sephora holiday sale!!! Don’t sleep on it, they have amazing deals! Like my favorite face cream by Sunday Riley. This stuff is HOLY GRAIL status. Yes, the price tag can be scary but omg if you want your face skin to look amazing RUN for this deal.
Furry Slide Slippers - I am a slipper enthusiast and when you are a slipper enthusiast, your slippers tend to wear out quickly. I’ve been wanting a fun fluffy pair like this forever but never wanted to spend the money on a pair of shoes no one would see! So when I saw these bad boys for $10 I picked up a pair for myself and others as Xmas presents!!
Be The Good T-Shirt - When you want to make a comment on the state of the world but also be cute, haha! This graphic t is perfect under any chunky knit cardigan!
Marshmallow Fireside Candle - My all time FAVE candle from Bath & Body Works (which are totally the best candles out there if you ask me). I’ve been waiting all year for it get chilly again so I can burn this baby!
Aries Self Care Book - Yeah, so in quarantine I’ve become a bit of an astrology lover. Sorry, not sorry. This book super cute to feed the needs of your star sign. I think this would be such a cute gift for other astrology lovers!
HydraPeak Water Bottle - I always struggled using a reusable water bottle until I found this guy at my local Marshalls. And WOW, it is worth the hype. It keeps your water cold for HOURS after you fill it. Sometimes I put ice in before bed and there still some left in the morning! Trust me, you need it.
Juice Bomb IPA - So its no secret that I’m a beer lover. Recently I’ve been getting more and more into IPA’s. I recently tried this one while at one of my favorite Apple Orchards and I was so impressed with it, I found it at my local liquor store the next day and its become a staple in my fridge!
Creamy Mushroom Sauce Recipe - If you want a meal that takes 10 minutes to make but is sure to impress, look no further. This is the stuff. It is so delicious, I’ve caught myself making it every week.
Trader Joe’s Garden Vegetable Soup - For all the Trader Joe’s lovers out there like myself, pick up this soup on your next shopping trip! It’s a tomato based soup that is so delicious and tastes like its home made!
Cypress Grove Truffle Tremor Cheese - I recently visited my best friend from college, and she made the cutest little spread to nibble on as we wined & dined. Included in that spread was this cheese and omg I ate the whole entire thing. I know it seems pricey for a block of cheese but trust me, it’s worth it. Pick it up for a special occasion!
