November Favorites

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I wanted to do a Thanksgiving day post but I was just too busy. Hopefully I will be sharing pictures from the day soon! Anyways, I thought it might be fun to do a "favorites post" today!



1// Tyler Rodan Bag// I got this purse in... September I think. I needed a bag which was big enough to carry my camera and other daily necessities, and so I scoured the purse aisles at Marshall's till I found this lovely number. It was around $30 which is more than I'm used to paying for a bag, so I almost didn't get it. But now I am so glad I decided to get it! It has three pockets on the front (nice and deep) and three compartments on the inside part of the bag. It has a big pocket on the back as well, which I don't really use. It also came with this little pouch thing which is perfect for Rosary beads. The best part is that it fits my camera! I put my camera in a small camera bag/jacket (it fits the shape of the camera) to protect it and then I'm good to go!

2// TheraNeem Scalp Therape Shampoo// My mom got this shampoo for me because lately I have had a really horrible dandruff problem. I've also been trying to find a chemical-free, Ph balanced hair-washing solution, and so far this fits the bill wonderfully! It has helped my dandruff a lot and my hair feels really silky and soft after I use it.

3// Divine Mercy Diary of St. Faustina Kowalska // So I have been slowly ( and I mean slowly ) working my way through this book. It is so beautiful and inspiring and its definitely one of my favorite religious books. Have any of you ever read it?

4// EOS Sweet Mint Lip Balm // *drum roll please!*..... This lip balm. It renders me speechless. Ok, no. I can't say enough about this stuff! I am actually allergic to Burt's Bees lip balm (rashes on your lips are not fun.) so I had to find some other solution to my dry lips during the winter. I got a hemp one from a health food store, which helped the dryness, but I didn't like the texture of it at all. Then I finally tried EOS and my problem was solved! It keeps my lips from getting super dry and sore and the texture is so smooth and not greasy at all. So that is hands-down a favorite!

5// Healing Herbal Hemp and Shea Lotion // So I have really really dry skin on my hands during the winter. I also have a rash on my legs, and this lotion really helped with both. I found it on Humble Be & Me, which is a wonderful blog with loads of soap, lotion and even makeup recipes all by Marie. I used Jojoba oil instead of hemp oil and I also omitted the oatmeal because I am allergic to oats. After using this lotion several times a day on my cracked, sore and dry hands for only two days, my skin was healing and becoming very soft and lovely. I have run out of the batch I made and I really need to make more!

6&7// Essential Beauty Serum  and Peppermint Essential oil // These two essential oils are amazing. The Beauty Serum helps tremendously with acne and the peppermint oil is perfect for relieving stomach aches. I am constantly using these!


And that's about it!
What are your favorites from November?
