September Favorites

Hello everyone!! I know I'm a day late, but I hadn't actually decided to do monthly favorites until just now. I think it'll be fun to be able to look back on this month and see what kind of things I got to enjoy. So let's get started!

ENTERTAINMENT

This was actually a bit of a hard choice because there are so many amazing vloggers out there (Zoella, Tyler Oakley, & Grace Helbig to name a few) that I absolutely love, but I did end up choosing Tanya Burr. She has such an amazing personality and style that I never get bored of watching her videos. She is just so real and likable! I was really impressed with not only the quality of her videos but the content as well. If you're looking for a fashion guru or just need a pick-me-up, I definitely suggest checking out her channel on YouTube.

FOOD/DRINK

I know everybody has different tastes when it comes to foods and drinks, but I have really enjoyed this tea a lot and I feel like it's not too strong or like a special flavor so a lot of people could enjoy it. It's called Jasmine Green Tea by Teatulia and it comes with 30 round tea bags. The tea bags (which are stringless/tagless) and the container are compostable which is wonderfully Eco friendly. It's got a very smooth taste and makes me feel happy and content, which is always good when I'm stressing over things.

MAKEUP

I did talk about this in another post, but I loved it so much I had to add it to this list! I just find that it goes on really well, and it lasts for ages. When I'm running to my classes, catching a bus, or just flat out busy, I don't have time to make sure my eyeliner is in place. With this liquid eyeliner by kleancolor I never even think about the state of my eyes because it's so long lasting. To learn more about this product click here.

BOOK

I was originally drawn to this book because the title was quite funny. It's called If Ignorance is Bliss, why Aren't There More Happy People?: Smart Quotes for Dumb Times by John Mitchinson and John Lloy. When I got it, I thought it would be in the format of a normal book, but it is just pages and pages of quotes from famous people (past and present) and it's organized by topic. I absolutely love it and have been laughing my head off at the choices they picked. I feel this would be a great book to have set out on a coffee table for visitors to flip through, and I may have to buy my own copy soon. One of my (many) favorite quotes that I've found so far is, "Everything you see, I owe to spaghetti." which was apparently said by the beautiful Sophia Loren. So if that beauty icon says spaghetti's ok, then who am I to argue?

Soothing Aloe Vera Deodorant Stick

 Once again this post is all about sensitive skin, and body odor. That’s right people! We are talking about arm pits. God bless those poor people who think they don’t need it. Or maybe God bless those people’s friends for sticking around so long? Anyway, I am not one of those people and I am VERY aware that I need it. Since my mom is extremely into health and organic products, I occasionally try to take a page from her book and try it out. So this month I am trying Soothing Aloe Vera Deodorant Stick. This particular one can be found on http://www.jason-personalcare.com/ but you can also find it in your local store. It costs about $6.39, which is a little more than I’d like to spend on deodorant but I guess it’s worth it for the health benefits. They also have many other safe, natural products that I'm sure are amazing but that I have not tried. This particular deodorant has been pretty good. Since I do have sensitive skin, it’s especially important for me to be careful what I put on my skin in places where I shave. True to its name, it has been soothing! Normally from deodorants I get raw irritated skin, but this has been amazing. However, I will say that it doesn’t seem to last as long as other deodorants I’ve tried and so I do not like that. I think when I run out of this I will try another scent of the same brand so stay tuned!

I rate this product: Love It!
