Hello from Santa’s workshop! Just kidding - hello, from a very frigid Columbus, Ohio. Although, I’m sure Santa’s workshop is chilly too. Anyway… here to share my November favorites.
Outer Banks season 4 on Netflix was well worth the wait! If you’re not in the loop on Outer Banks, let me catch you up. A group of teen (now young adult) friends travel to the ends of the earth hunting for treasure. It sounds ridiculous. It is ridiculous. But, it’s action-packed, thrilling, and heartwarming. This season is their best and most shocking yet. Are you a pogue or a kook? For me, it’s P4L ♡
I have to admit, I was TikTok influenced, but the Tarte Creaseless Creamy Concealer is good. I’ve raved about the original Creaseless Concealer before, but this is a level up regardless of skin type. If you’re a fan of the OG, imagine the same creaseless power but much more blendable. The beauty vloggers are mostly using this for under eye concealer, and it’s great for that, but I’m using it all over like a regular concealer and loving the medium coverage. Picky about concealers? The full shade range comes in travel size, so you can give this a trial run before you commit!
Once upon a time, I was also influenced to start drinking my greens, but I’ve been using Bloom for quite some time now, and the limited edition Spiced Cranberry Greens & Superfoods are delicious. In addition to serving as a tasty multivitamin and gut health support, morning greens are a great way to ensure you start the day with 8 ounces of water. I’m never drinking enough water, so that benefit alone is enough to hop on the Bloom wagon. Not into holiday flavors? They have tons of flavors, and my go-to is mango.
I recently switched toothpastes (revolutionary, exciting, I know), and it’s actually been a game changer. I’ve used Crest 3D White for quite literally a decade, but especially in recent years, I feel like my teeth don’t get as squeaky clean as I’d like. I made the switch to Crest Pro-Health, and my teeth have never felt cleaner! Translation: hey! I’m old now, hope you love boring favorites ♡
Last, and perhaps the most unhinged favorite from November is what I’m dubbing a fuss-free pedicure. I really hate dealing with my nails and toenails. They grow so quickly and it’s just not my favorite self care task to manage. Another thing I’m not a fan of? Getting a winter pedicure and waiting at the salon for an hour + while the polish dries, so I can put real shoes back on. So, last month I had the bright idea, why not get a pedicure sans polish? You get all the exfoliating and moisturizing bells and whistles without all the wait time, and at a fraction of the price! I highly recommend.
What have you been loving lately? Specifically, what are you watching?
