My Best Of 2017

Foundation: I have super oily skin so I need a foundation that will stay put! I've tried bare minerals for a bit, then Kat Von D but nothing seemed to stay put all day or my skin got used to it after a few weeks and it wouldn't stick. This foundation is incredible! My skin looks so smooth, I don't feel like I'm oily, and it stays put!! 

Best Gym Shoes: I have 5 pairs of these (black, hot pink, blush pink, grey and neon yellow). They are the comfiest gym shoe and super cute too! I don't wear them for my runs but do wear them for the gym and my High Fitness classes.

Lip Scrub: I've posted about this lip scrub on my insta-stories a ton! It seriously is that good! I live in a climate where it's super dry and my lips definitely feel it. I put this on every morning and night and my lips feel so smooth and my lipstick/stains go on so much better! It's super cheap so I always have 3-4 on hand.

Best Blanket: I mentioned these blankets on Lemmon's Best of 2017.  They are sooo comfy and HUGE! Whenever we have guests over they fit over who gets our Minky's haha. We have 2 monster ones but I'm thinking we are needing a couple more!

Deodorant: Kay, this is a little expensive but honestly, the only deodorant that works. I've tried EVERYTHING (even prescription deodorant!) and nothing seemed to hold all day. Try it before you say it's not worth it! I promise you will love it!

Face Serum: I started seeing an esthetician about a year ago to get my skin looking better in this dry climate and because I know with age your skin only gets worse. She recommended a serum to start out with and with oily skin I thought that it would make it worse! WRONG! It's one of the best things to happen to my skin. It has actually calmed down the oiliness and made it softer. I love his products because they are super light and you don't feel caked on

Setting Powder: Again, I used a few setting powders but after a few weeks my skin got used to them and it stopped working. I LOVE this setting powder. My skin looks so matte (which is crazy with oily skin).

Blow-Dryer: I didn't get this till the end of the year but wish I had it sooner! I am more of a basic hair-tools girl but I really am trying to grow my hair back out and healthy. I have super thick course hair and this blow dryer makes my hair look so smooth and silky. I really thought it was just a trendy brand but don't smoosh it till you try it! It's powerful but not like your basic blow-dryer. It doesn't make your hair look like a fro after your done. I am thinking of buying their curling irons and straightener too!

Water Bottle: Riley got me this water bottle a couple years ago and then got me the smaller one for Christmas. It keeps your water super cold and is the perfect size for your car and diaper bag. I think I have 3 of them now, which is awesome because I can leave them around the house to remind me to drink more water!

Toothbrush: I get tons of questions on how I get my teeth so white and this is my magic wand! I used whitening strips in high school but they made my teeth so sensitive so I stopped. Riley got us these toothbrushes about a year ago  (He always knows the best stuff ha!) and I noticed such a difference about 3-4 months into it. There is a whitening setting, a sensitive setting and normal setting. I always keep mine on whitening. Again, an investment but better then having sensitive teeth from the strips!

Toddler Holiday Gift Guide: Clothes

I may have purchased more then half of these for The Squeeze for Christmas or right now ;-) haha. I just couldn't help myself. So, I know every toddler is different, but all I know is Lemmon so I based this gift guide off what I think a toddler like Lemmon would like. I hope your bebita will love them too!!

#1 Pajamas: How stinkin' cute are these floral pj's? I love two piece pj's for Lemmon because if she has a blow out I don't have to wash the whole outfit. Just the bottoms and then I can switch in some leggings. Or if it's to warm to wear both but to cold to wear a shirt and bottom then these are the best! 

#2 Heart Micro-Fleece Pull Over: You can never have to many jackets during the season. This is something great that she can just throw on if your running to the store or even layering underneath a puffer jacket. Plus with the little hearts, it's so cute!

#3 Mini Rain Boots: Confession, I have now ordered all 3 pairs for The Squeeze! They are to die for in person! And with the price point, I wish they had more colors! They are great condition too! Definitely stay in their same size or size down. It says to size up, but don't listen to it. Lemmon wears a 5 or 6 and both are great on her. They button on the side and she loves to help put them on. If you've seen the mini-melissa boots, then these are seriously the most perfect dupe! Order these, you won't be disappointed. Oh yah! They come from China, so be expected to wait about 3-4 weeks.

#4 Minky Blanket: Lemmon's favorite blankets are her Minky's. We have quite a few of them but have to keep one or two in the car and then two in her crib and then two more are dragged around the house. They are so soft and keep her so warm!

#5 Mini Boss Hoodie: I died when I saw this! I had to snag one for Lemmon. And with how cheap it is! I got her a size 1- 2 years.  

#6 Faux Fur Sleeve Pull-over: I love anything with fun sleeves for Lemmon. I'm not a fan of prints or wording so sleeves like these are perfect to spice up an outfit. Plus, anything with fur Lemmon calls her "Suave" haha, she will sit there and pet her shirt all day!

#7 Hooded Snow Coat: I have yet to find a snow coat I love for The Squeeze. This one is so adorable with the fur lined hood and the little pom pom on the top. I wanted something that was thick for her but cute also. They also have it in black!

#8 Checked Flannel Dress: I love checker print on kids. It's adorable! This dress would be so cute with some tights and booties!

#9 Knit Mittens: How adorable are these?! They are perfect for being out and about to keep those little fingers warm! And they go perfect with #13.

#10 Cozy Socks: Lemmon has this fascination with socks lately. "Suaves" plus socks. She will be in heaven!!! 

#11 Fur Bow Uggs: I just about died when I saw these. I have a pair of uggs that look pretty similar to these and Lemmon is obsessed with them. I mean, how cute are mini uggs?!

#12 Embroidered Skinnies: It took me a second to get on the embroidered train, but when I saw these I fell in love! I like how simple they are. Skinny jeans are so cute on babies!

#13 Bow Scarf: I am all for layers! And how cute is this bow scarf. It's not scratchy or irritating and will keep them nice and warm.

#14 Lash Beanie: This has been in my cart for a bit. I keep going back on forth only because Lemmon's fro is hard to hide under a beanie haha. Other then that I would jump right on it! I love lash anything!
