Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick (Beautycounter) $32
I have been loving this lipstick. Imagine if chapstick and lipstick had a baby- you’d get this Sheer Genius Conditioning Lipstick. It goes on super smooth and stays put for hours. It doesn’t dry out your lips at all; instead, it keeps them soft and hydrated. The color is buildable, and it feels weightless when you’re wearing it. It contains certified organic ethically sourced vanilla and jojoba esters that melt into your lips, creating a balmy texture. The lipstick tube also contains magnets to keep the two pieces together, so you never have to worry about it popping open and ruining your bag. On average, a woman ingests 4 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime, and 1 in 3 brands of red lipstick contains more lead than the FDA’s acceptable limits. It’s crucial to choose a safer brand that you know isn’t harmful.
Pictured below, I’m wearing Twig- which is a perfect everyday subtle color and makes you feel put together, and Orchid- which is a pink-reddish color that pops and brings out the confident side.

ChatBooks $25+
I received my first Chatbook from my friend Jess as a Christmas present. It was a way to put all the amazing memories we made during a trip to Italy in a book. It was such a special gift and a way to look back on and remember the amazing trip without going through my phone. After Mowgli passed away, I made one for him as well. It’s something special I can use to look at when I’m really missing him.
These books are beautiful. There are multiple ways to customize them. You can add text to every page, or just a few pages, have borders around the photos, or have them take the entire page. They make amazing gifts and are a great way to get photos from your phone to someplace you can enjoy them.
The link below gives you $10 in credit towards your first book.

Ground Meat Chopper $12.99
This kitchen gadget has been used constantly over the past 6-8 years. I can’t remember exactly how long ago I found one, but it is a game-changer. If you use any ground meat, this little gadget will help break the meat up with ease. I used it once for a cooking video on Instagram, and I received so many messages asking where to get this tool. You can find it on Amazon(linked below), Target, Wal-Mart, and Pampered Chef. If you have a friend who sells Pampered Chef, I recommend getting it that route to support someone running a small business. It will save you time cooking and break the meat into small pieces effortlessly.
Siete Cookies $4.99
Siete is a company out of Austin, Texas, that I love. They make the most amazing paleo/gluten-free/grain-free tortillas and tortilla chips. They are the kindest, most generous people, and it’s been so fun watching them grow. They recently came out with a line of cookies I am obsessed with. The Mexican shortbread cookies and the Mexican wedding cookies are my favorite. The shortbread cookie reminds me of a cinnamon and sugar graham cracker, but 100 times better. The wedding cookie tastes like a spiced cookie wrapped in powdered sugar. Currently, they are only available in Whole Foods but will be coming to their website soon. I wanted to give you all a heads up so you can be on the lookout. During my last trip to Whole Foods, only one package of the shortbread cookie was available. The wedding cookies were completely out. That’s how good these things are.

This amazing company makes Whole30 approved sauces that are super delicious. They have everything from BBQ sauce, to ketchup, to cooking sauces like curry and butter chicken. It’s a small business owned by a woman- which I love. For every bottle sold, the company donates a meal to fight world hunger. Their sauces are organic and keto-friendly. They are now on the shelves of Whole Foods nationwide, and the link below will give you a $1 off coupon.
