The Best Stocking Stuffers On Amazon

Christmas is officially less than a month away! Who else can’t believe it? I have been trying to buy toys and presents for my family as I see things when we are out, especially if they are on a good sale. I feel like my children are usually easy to buy for- they basically want every toy that they see on tv! However, sometimes I struggle on getting creative with the rest of my family, especially with stocking stuffers! I promised myself I wouldn’t procrastinate this year on trying to find some cool and unique gifts for their stockings. Anyone who has been following me knows my love for Amazon. So, of course I have resorted to them to help me find the best and most affordable gifts this year. Check out some of my favorite things that I have gotten so far for the adult guys, gals and tweens in my life. I’d recommend ordering sooner than later so you will have plenty of time to have everything shipped to you. Amazon makes my life so much easier this way- no lines or traffic to deal with! Happy shopping!

For the Tweens:

Nail Polish Set of 12

My nieces are starting to get into all the girly goodies, so they love to do their nails. I love all the bright and fun colors this kit has to offer. You can’t beat the price either for 12 different nail polishes!

Sneaker Ball Deodorizers

I know a lot of kids are into so many different activities and have their own sports bags to keep all their gear in. I also know those bags can get smelly after lots of use. I love throwing in one of these cute deodorizer balls to help with that sweaty smell!

Colorful and Fun Socks

Who doesn’t love fun and colorful socks? These are so vibrant and fun for any age and the price is amazing! They also get awesome reviews.

Skeleton Gloves

These skeleton gloves are awesome for the young men in your life. They are fun, casual and will help keep them warm during those cold winter months.

For the Gals:

Fashion Reading Glasses

My mom and mother in law are always looking around the house for their readers. I got them each a pack of these last year and they absolutely love them. They can leave a pair on each floor of their house, in their car and in their purse. Plus, they are adorable, a great price and get amazing reviews!

Wallet Purse For Your Phone

I love these small cell phone wallets. You can carry them as a clutch, wallet or crossbody. Plus, they come in a ton of different colors and have slots for your license and credit cards. This is perfect when you want to run a few errands without being weighed down by a big handbag.

Chapstick Holder

These Chapstick key chain holders are so adorable. I am constantly digging for my Chapstick in my purse, but these make it so quick and easy to find. They come as a pair, so you can share one with a friend or give as two separate gifts!

Bath Bombs

I am obsessed with bath bombs. You can get them for any lady or girl who likes to take relaxing bubble baths. These are a best seller on amazon. The price is great, and the packaging is so pretty and feminine.

For the Guys:

Leather Wallet

My husband always likes to have a fresh-looking wallet. It can get overwhelming trying to find the perfect one because there are so many to choose from. I found this one last year and he loved it! There are several different colors to choose from and it gets amazing reviews!

Cigar Cutter

If you have a guy in your life who likes to enjoy an occasional cigar, this is a great cigar cutter. It’s stainless steel, has amazing reviews and is under $10 with free shipping!

Tabasco Sauce Keychain

Do you know a guy who likes everything they eat to be hot and spicy? This tabasco sauce comes in a small bottle on a keychain! It’s prefect for your man to always have access to making his food delicious!

Heat Resistant Gloves

These gloves can come in handy for so many things. They are heat and fire resistant so are perfect for grilling, bonfires and fire building. They are under $17 and have free shipping!

8 Lip Shades That Are Killer for Fall/Winter

Fall is a welcome time of year, with crisp, cool weather that begs for long sleeves and warm colors. Speaking of warm colors, fall and winter is a great time to go bold with those lips! Here are my tried and true lip shades for this time of year—these are my favorites that I have personally used and fell in love with!

My 8 Favorite Lip Shades That Are Killer for Fall/Winter

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Lolita and Double Dare

I don’t recommend using a liquid lipstick every day because it dries out the lips, but these two colors are absolutely beautiful. Any hair color or skin tone can wear both of these shades and look fantastic. You’ll love how smooth the Kat Von D liquid lipstick goes on. Double Dare has a nice brick color while Lolita has a darker, more pretty brown tone. I combine them together for the most stunning lips.

I can’t tell you how many comments I got from women asking what lipstick I was wearing.

See I how combine these two shades for the final look in this video.

Sephora Lip Stain in Marvelous Mauve

Moving out of the browns and to the more purple colors, this is one of my go-to colors all fall and winter long. This lip stain by Sephora is a lovely matte with a deep, warm mauve. Be aware that it does go on neutral but dries darker. It’s another liquid lip stain so you don’t need to touch it up during the day; just put it on and go.

Marc Jacobs Le Marc Liquid Lip Crayon in Plum n’ Get It

This next one is a lip crayon, which is very hydrating and fun to use. It’s a very deep and pretty plum color that is absolutely gorgeous. It’s a good color for date night or a bold look. If you’re looking for a rich, wine color, this is it!

Mac Lipstick Shine in New York Apple

This lovely lipstick is in the red family. It has a sheen to it that catches the light and gives you this cool ombre effect. This is a pretty color that you can wear with minimal makeup, have your hair back in a bun, and have a gorgeous put-together look with minimal effort.

Winky Lux in Meow

For another nourishing lipstick that is perfect for fall and winter, enter the Winky Lux in Meow shade. This is a beautiful neutral beige color that I love using because it is so comfortable. There are a lot of lipsticks that claim to be comfortable that aren’t, but this one really is.

Ilia in Arabian Knights

Okay, don’t be scared by this one. I know it looks super dark, but really this Ilia lipstick in Arabian Knights is one of my go-to shades year-round. It is stunning. I like to gently pat it on my lips to give just a subtle rosy glow. You can also layer it up for a deeper, more velvet effect. The reason I love this lipstick so much is that it stays all day long and acts sort of like a stain, giving your lips lasting natural color.

Mac Lipstick in Creme Cup

Last but not least is another of my year-round favorites that works well for fall/winter because it is so light and pretty. This is a neutral pink that goes with literally anything. If I could only have one lipstick all year long, it would be this one. This is a great lipstick for people who don’t like to wear lipstick. It’s beautiful and universal and so great to keep in your purse for any occasion.

13 Fun Korean Beauty Products That Are All the Rage

There’s a fun trend storming the world right now and you can find Korean beauty products all over Instagram and in the handbags of your favorite celebs. The cool kids are all loving Korean skincare and it’s no surprise. These quirky lip balms, lotions, and face masks come in uniquely adorable packaging that you can’t help but love. Check out these 13 fun Korean beauty products that would make great gifts or conversation pieces in your own purse.

13 Fun Korean Beauty Products

1. Keep oily face at bay with these oil blotting sheets.

How smart and cute are these? Keep them handy to help you control shine during your busy day. Dab a forehead here, a chin here, and look super chic doing it.

2. Oh-so-lovely towel headband.

Keep your hair out of the way while you apply makeup in the morning or wash your face at night. It’s so cute, I wouldn’t even mind if an unexpected guest stopped by.

3. Exfoliating jellyfish

This little guy isn’t just for looks; he’s really great for your skin too. Little exfoliating jellyfish has soft bristles on top and bottom that are ideal for daily cleansing and sloughing off dead skin cells for a fresh face.

4. Bright eyes with cooling eye sticks

Never mind that it’s an adorable bamboo-munching panda. Never mind that the stick itself is so dang cute that I want to pull it out of my pocket every few minutes—this TonyMoly Panda’s Dream So cool Eye Stick de-puffs your eyes while delivering a soothing, cooling sensation.

5. Hilarious carbonated clay mask

This is too funny, and pretty amazing at the same time. Only Korean beauty products can deliver a face mask so bubbly and carbonated that it expands on your face into a fizzy, airy cloud. Totally a fun thing to try at your next girls night!

6. Lazy and Joy Egg Bun Puff

The creators of this cosmetics puff certainly have a sense of humor…and a love for eggs. Or maybe that’s a Korean thing (there are a lot of egg-themed beauty products). So blend and buff in eggcelent style.

7. Dear Darling…

This yummy little popsicle-shaped lip tint is just as darling as its name. What a cute gift for a friend and it’s under $7.

8. Korean facial masks

The impressive thing about these “I’m Real” facial masks is that they are made of 100% natural pulp and each one is designed to perform a specific function (i.e pore care, elasticity, brightening, etc.).

9. It’s a zoo out there.

This Korean Saranghae Zoo Foundation acts as a foundation and concealer for blemish and freckle coverage, as well as SPF 36.

10. Sweet dreams lemon sleep mask

The secret to that pristine Korean skin might just be in this whitening sleeping mask. It’s got Vitamin C and Arbutin to accelerate skin whitening while you sleep.

11. Inky velvet lips

Get that velvety matte lip look with Peri’s Ink Velvet. It’s all the rage in Korea and has good customer reviews, along with a very affordable price point.

12. Love Blossom soft hand cream

Again, packaging takes the cake and I love the graphics on this soothing daily hand cream.

13. Petit bunny lip gloss

Forget the traditional tube of lip moisturizer, this Petit Bunny Gloss comes in a long, thin bar and it is so dang cute! Those bunny ears.

Whimsical and fun, it’s no wonder Korean beauty products have taken the world by surprise. You can find more of my beauty favorites and tips here!

7 Natural Anti-Aging Hacks That Your Grandma Wishes She’d Known

Getting older is not for the faint of heart, nor is it something that you happily accept. Signs of aging can start in your mid-to-late 20s with the appearance of fine lines that just weren’t there a few years ago. Everyone gets older; the trick is to age smartly. Check out these cool natural anti-aging hacks that I’m sure your grandma wishes she’d known about.

7 Natural Anti-aging Hacks

1. Moisturize with aloe.

The aloe vera plant is one of God’s gifts to humankind. Who knew that a plant so hard and, well, ugly on the exterior could contain such a wonderful substance on the inside? Aloe vera is one of the most powerful anti-aging plants on the planet. It’s gel can sooth burns, treat acne, and help rebuild the skin’s collagen. Use it as your daily moisturizer for an anti-aging secret weapon.

2. Go mineral.

It’s no big revelation that sunscreen is your skin’s most potent defense against the sun’s harmful rays, but some sunscreens are more effective than others. Many people are making the switch to mineral sunscreen because they use natural ingredients rather than chemicals. Another reason to make the switch is that zinc oxide and titanium dioxide found in mineral sunscreens are naturally equipped to block both UVB and UVA radiation where most chemical sunscreens only block UVB rays.

3. Pass the vitamin C, please!

Most people know vitamin C for it’s immune-boosting powers, but it is also a serious contender against aging. Vitamin C has been proven to decrease the effect of the sun on the skin and prevent damage. In fact, vitamin C is actually found on the skin and is the skin’s most available antioxidant. But when your skin is exposed to too much sun, the vitamin C breaks down by 30%. That’s why it’s important to supplement with vitamin C.

4. Cut back on sugar.

Rather than invest in spendy anti-aging products, try starting with your diet. Most of us consume way too much sugar, which is a huge detriment to our skin. Did you know sugar consumption affects the aging process? It’s crazy, but true. Sugar molecules cling to the collagen fibers in the skin and cause them to lose strength and flexibility, leading to wrinkles. You want to slow aging the natural way? Cut back on the sugar.

5. Maintain a life-long fitness routine.

Physical activity has endless health benefits, one being the support of healthy, vibrant skin. While we can’t stop aging, we can support healthy skin cells by increasing blood flow to them with regular exercise. So there’s just one more reason to get moving—exercise is a powerful anti-aging pill!

6. Water it down.

Our body is about 60% water and our skin is the largest organ in our body. It goes to reason that drinking plenty of water gives your skin a radiant, healthy glow. But besides drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of H2O, you can also add water to your skin by moisturizing your skin within a few minutes of leaving the bath or shower.

7. See the glass as half full.

Speaking of glasses, you can either see one as half empty or half full. Being optimistic can decrease stress, increase positive self-image, and in turn, help you live longer. If that’s not anti-aging, I don’t know what is!
