My first favorite is Arcona's White Team Purifying Cleanser. I received a sample of this product in a beauty bag full of all sorts of skin care, hair care, and miscellaneous beauty products. Immediately I was caught by the smell. It's fantastic. It's this subtle blend of tea, honey, and even a bit of fruitiness. But the true fabulousness of this product is what it does to my face.
I lucked out in the skin department. Growing up, I rarely had a pimple, zit, spot, or black head. As an adult, my skin stayed clear, soft, and wrinkle free. However, I've had a difficult time finding a good cleanser that isn't harsh on my skin. I finally found it in this product. When I use this product, my skin feels clean, soft, and hydrated. I love the stuff. It's a bit steep at $42 for a 3.5 ounce size, but a little goes a long way.
While I've been pretty lucky with my skin, I've been cursed with under-eye, dark circles. I also have puffy eyes from my twisted sleep schedule. So, one day I thought I would try Boots No7 Beautiful Skin Vitality Eye Roll-On. At $16, it's worth it! It has not only lightened the dark circles under my eyes (which is nice since I don't wear make up unless I'm on camera), but it also visibly reduces the puffiness under my eyes. It works so good, Mum has stolen my bottle.
My next favorite is the Union Jack messenger bag. I got this in the United Kingdom, and while most would probably use this to tote around their computer, paperwork, and miscellaneous bits - I use it as a handbag. It fits everything except my cameras, and I love it. It's not heavy (like most bags), has plenty of room for everything, includes a top zipper (which means stuff doesn't fall out when the bag tips over), and the strap is long enough so it can be a cross-body bag.
Burt's Bees will most likely stay on my Favorites lists forever. I cannot live without this stuff. I have random tubes in every bag, every room, and in ever vehicle I own. I love the way it feels on my lips (not waxy and heavy), while the balm makes my lips feel tingly and soothed.
I bought a couple of these LePens several months ago, because I thought they would be great for signing Christmas cards. I used those pens so much, I needed to buy new ones. This time I bought the 10 pack, but because it didn't come with my favorite color (orange) - I ended up buying a few single ones too. These pens write smoothly - with little pressure. I just wish the barrels of the pens were a little thicker to make maneuvering them easier.
My NERD notebook! I have quite a few of these spiral notebooks laying around. I use them constantly to make notes, lists, and other things. This one is my favorite, and it is rarely out of my hands.
The final favorites is the Neutrogena spray-on sunblock. I LOVE it! I use to get SPF 100, but a medical professional told me it is too much and is most likely blocking important Vitamin D. So, I downgraded to SPF 70. This stuff gets sprayed on in the morning and several times throughout the day. People under-estimate the damage the sun can do, and since I know too many people who have been diagnosed with skin cancer - using sunblock is part of my health routine. Neutrogena's spray on sunblock makes it easy to use, doesn't have the strong fragrance many others have (such as Aveno's spray on sunblock), and doesn't feel greasy or heavy. I totally recommend it!
