The <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/53CZ">Nordstrom Anniversary Sale</a> is of course a great time to get brand new merchandise at a sale price, but it's also one of my FAVORITE sales to get some new, versatile, basic pieces from - the ones you'll wear a ton, get a lot of use out of and even some that you'll have for a long time.
</center>
<center>
Public Access is finally opened! So if you've been waiting to shop, <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/53CZ">your time</a> is almost here. ;) Whether you're looking for a new classic coat or a few new basic tees, I got you covered ladies. Happy shopping!

<b>Basic, Versatile Tees:</b><br>
This sale has sooo many great simple tops and tees that you can wear alone, under a cardigan or jacket or sweatshirt or anything else. I will say - if you're going for some simple t-shirts, I 100% recommend the Caslon branded tees (over the BP ones, for example). The quality is so good and they fit and lay really well. Here's some more basic tees to consider from the sale: <br>

<b>Sweaters & Blouses:</b><br>
Like I've said over and over again, I hate even thinking about sweaters and such this early in the summer, but since the Anniversary Sale is all new merchandise, it's worth thinking about for a couple of minutes to stock up on next-season faves! The sweaters are always top notch during this sale, but I was skeptical originally about some of them possibly feeling really itchy. I tried a bunch on so I'm only going to share the soft ones, ones that fit well and ones that are not at ALL itchy (big pet peeve of mine if you couldn't tell!) and some simple blousy tops that you could easily dress down for everyday wear or dress up for dinner, an event/party or even work: <br>

<b>Classic Bottoms:</b><br>
One of the pieces of clothing I'll always pay a little bit more for is a great pair of denim. I'm a sucker for a good pair of jeans that fits well, is super flattering and that are COMFY. Leggings are also a versatile basic, so I of course included some of them too: <br>

<b>Dresses & Jumpsuits:</b><br>
I have a couple of fall weddings this year so I was on the hunt for a few good dresses that I'd get a lot of use out of - AKA ones I can wear for events, weddings or even to a nice dinner in. I love finding dresses I know I'll wear time and time again! Also can never resist a good jumpsuit, so I linked some of my favorites from the sale here too: <br>

<b>Shoes:</b><br>
In all honesty, I wasn't *too* impressed with the shoes selection during this year's sale. That being said, there are a couple of really really good options and neutral/versatile pairs that you should add to your closet if you're looking for some new ones: <br>

I splurged on a couple of coats this year and I'm so happy I did! I had some high hopes for a couple of coats that I tried on and didn't love, but here's the ones that made the cut (and the ones I'm still considering getting... lol SOS): <br>

Another category of the sale that I wasn't extremely impressed with, but found a few hidden gems in! Most especially the jewelry - love a good layering necklace or new bracelet/pair of earrings! Here's a few good quality, affordable accessories: <br>

Happy <a href="https://amzn.to/2XLolLS">Prime Day</a>! Another amazing sale kicks off today and these Prime deals are seriously too good to pass up. There's thousands of Amazon items on sale today and there's constantly new deals being added! Best part is, Prime Day is TWO days long this year. I'll be updating this post with all of the very best deals I come across, so make sure to check back often! It is a bit overwhelming to go through the thousands of pages worth of deals so I went through and highlighted the ones I think are the best and things you can NOT miss!

<br />
1. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lydCqP">Patterned Throw Blanket</a>: such a cute throw and perfect to add to your couch! <br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lyhQyH">Mini Gold Desk Fan</a>: honestly, if you buy ONE thing from Prime Day, it has to be this fan. It's a USB fan that can also be plugged into a charging box/into the wall and it's a LIFE saver for me. I use it every single day - when I'm getting ready in my bathroom, when I'm at my desk working, anywhere and everywhere! It's the BEST. <br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://amzn.to/2k128M2">Amazon Fire Stick</a>: I use my Fire Stick for everything - it's the ultimate entertainment hub and especially great for Netflix/Hulu and sports! <br />
<br />
4. <a href="https://amzn.to/30x8aDJ">Tortoise Shell Sunnies</a>: these sunnies look designer, meanwhile they're SO cheap and the best quality! <br />
<br />
5. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lxRBZb">adidas Sneakers</a>: I can't believe there's adidas' on sale! This color is my favorite - there's a couple colors on sale to choose from. <br />
<br />
6. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lrcaGx">Blue-Light Blocking Glasses</a>: if you sit at your computer a lot during the day, I HIGHLY recommend these blue light blocking glasses. They work so well and help prevent headaches after staring at the computer for a long period of time! <br />
<br />
7. <a href="https://amzn.to/2jZdCQ9">Travel Jewelry Case</a>: this is my go-to when packing jewelry! Currently on sale for under $10!! <br />
<br />
8. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lxDu68">Gold Tri-Pod</a>: I bought this during Prime Day last year and I'm so glad it's back again this year because it's the best tripod I've ever used and it's $10! Also a great one to bring on your travels - it folds up small and is very lightweight. <br />
<br />
9. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lrbIbj">Acrylic Swivel Makeup Holder</a>: I have two of these under my bathroom sink and it makes reaching for makeup and skincare products so simple! Love that it's a part of this sale! <br />
<br />
10. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lmExph">St. Tropez Self Tanner</a>: I know there's hundreds of self tanners out there to choose from, but I will always recommend this one! It applies evenly and gives the best color out of the self tanners I've tried. This is a great deal - it hardly goes on sale. <br />
<br />
11. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lxRs85">Tumbler</a>: keeps your drink cold or hot ALL DAY LONG. Fun fact: I was at Yankee Stadium recently and parked on the roof of a parking garage; I had my tumbler filled with water and ice and left it in the hot car, in the sun, while at the game and when I came back out afterwards, the cup was warm but the ice was STILL FROZEN inside. Blew my mind - I'll be gifting these for the foreseeable future! ;) <br />
<br />
12. <a href="https://amzn.to/2jZoGwF">External Drive</a>: if you work a lot from your laptop (talking to you bloggers!) or just have lots of pictures, documents, etc., you need a good external drive. Or maybe 2 or 3. I always buy a backup external drive during Prime Day because there's so many to choose from - the one I linked is my favorite! - and since they can be pricey, the sales are so helpful! <br />
<br />
13. <a href="https://amzn.to/2k0ad3y">Ring Doorbell</a>: this gives me the most peace of mind EVER. I highly recommend this camera system - the app is incredible and it makes living and traveling away from home so much easier. <br />
<br />
14. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lwGzDw">Amazon Echo Dot</a>: I use my Echo Dot to play music all of the time and when entertaining! It's so small and so helpful for SO many things - Googling a recipe while cooking especially! <br />
<br />
15. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lnuQH7">Apple Watch</a>: a generation 3 Apple Watch on SALE?! Too good of a deal to pass on! If you've been thinking about an Apple Watch, now may be the time to do it! <br />
<br />
16. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lnyyR3">Apple AirPods</a>: another Apple product that rarely EVER goes on sale, on sale! These are such a game changer! <br />
<br />
17. <a href="https://amzn.to/2k2F0Nd">Beauty Blender</a>: stock up on these, only $3! <br />
<br />
18. <a href="https://amzn.to/2k2BN07">Black Bow Embellished Heels</a>: I bought these last year and have worn them SO much. They are a little bit higher than I normally like to wear, but they're so cute and surprisingly comfortable. There's a ton of color options! <br />
<br />
19. <a href="https://amzn.to/2l8opYu">Bose Bluetooth Speaker</a>: one of the very best bluetooth speakers I've ever, ever used. I love gifting it and was so excited to see it on sale! <br />
<br />
20. <a href="https://amzn.to/2k057nW">Jackery Portable Charger</a>: THIS IS THE BEST portable charger I have ever, ever, ever used. It's a little bit pricey, but it lasts forever and can charge your phone 0-100% TWICE on one charge. It's incredibly powerful - highly recommend it! <br />
<br />
21. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lydvvp">Canopy Pool Float</a>: talk about luxury! I love this pool float - one of my favorites I own and it's over 30 off today! <br />
<br />
22. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lw9NCr">Makeup Eraser</a>: these are ideal for traveling! <br />
<br />
23. <a href="https://amzn.to/2jZcdJn">European Travel Adapter</a>: if you travel a lot or are planning a European vacation, buy these in BULK. This is the best adapter I've ever used and works for 170 countries and is only $15 today! <br />
<br />
24. <a href="https://amzn.to/2lxMA2N">Instant Pot</a>: whether you're a fan of cooking or not, this is an absolute must have and a serious steal of a deal. These never go on sale as much as they are for Prime Day! The 6 qt is the "standard" size and definitely is what I recommend, unless you cook for a lot of people on a regular basis, then you may want to get the 8 qt! <br />

Christmas in July is here! If you're a fan of the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5FPI">Nordstrom Anniversary Sale</a>, you're no doubt loving today! It's such a great sale and this year is one of the better ones product wise in my opinion. I've been searching high and low for the very best finds for the past week and as I always do when this sale starts, am sharing the top picks and also the things that I think are going to sell out quickly. That's not to say they won't come back into stock, but if you've shopped the sale before, you know that there are items that sell out within minutes of the sale going live!
</center>
<br />
<center>
The best part about <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5FPI">Nordstrom</a> is their free shipping/free return policies - even if you plan to shop in-store, if there's anything you know you want to get your hands on, I highly recommend ordering it as soon as the sale goes live so that you don't risk not finding it in-store or it selling out online! I end up making at least a few orders with things I hadn't seen in-store, or items in a couple of sizes, and just return what I don't want. There's nothing better than trying things on in the comfort of your own home in front of your own mirror!

Important Nordstrom Sale Dates to Know:</h3>
*<i>Icon and Ambassador members begun shopping the sale on 7/10</i><br />
<br />
<b>7/12-18</b>: card-members shop Early Access in-store and online <br />
<b>7/19-8/4</b>: sale opens to the public <br />
<br />
<center>
If you're not a Nordstrom card holder, <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5FPD">you can apply for a card here</a>. It is required to shop the sale during Early Access, but if you don't have one/don't want to apply for one, there will still be lots of great finds to shop when the sale opens to the public in a few weeks! Don't stress it!
</center>
<br />
<center>
Side note: something that I'm sure is obvious if you've read any of my blog posts before - I am a complete summer-holic and will savor every moment of hot, sunny weather as possible. It kind of makes me crazy to even think about sweaters and boots, but this sale really is a great time to buy for the next few seasons. The good news for all of my fellow summer lovers is that while the sale is mostly filled with the newest pieces from a variety of designers, there ARE still some great summer-season finds! I'll be sure to share lots of those too, but I wanted to start by sharing the top items that I know a lot of people will be wanting to get their hands on. So if you're not ready to think about cardigans and hats, don't worry because I'm not either - focus on it for a little and then resume your normal summer programming. ;)

1. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CwO">Colorblock Cardigan</a>: last season, stripes were the hottest buy everywhere and it looks like that's going to hold true this year as well! I LOVE the way these large, colorblock stripes look and this color palette is sooo pretty. Reg. $98 / <b>Sale Price: $64.90</b> <br />
<b>UPDATE: </b>softest cardigan ever. Worth every penny!<br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CAl">Leopard Print Cardigan</a>: similar to stripes being a huge hit, there is LOTS and LOT of animal prints included in this sale! Leopard print and snake skin galore. Seriously. This is a really cute cardigan and I do think it'll sell out pretty quickly, but to be honest I'm kind of worried that it's going to be itchy. Hopefully not, but I'll report back! Reg. $69 / <b>Sale Price: $45.90</b> <br />
<b>UPDATE: </b>happy to report this isn't at ALL itchy like I thought it might be! It's been selling in and out of stock online, so keep checking back if your size isn't there.<br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CwS">Barefoot Dreams Throw Blanket</a>: THIS WILL SELL OUT!!!! If you've been eyeing this blanket, have waited for it to go on sale, need a good gift idea or all of the above, get this ASAP. It always is included and always sells out during the Anniversary Sale! It comes in a couple of different colors and this year there's a few patterns too - here's all of them (and for real, don't wait!) Reg. $180 / <b>Sale Price: $119.90</b> <br />
<br />

<br />
4. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CyO">Plaid Flannel Coat</a>: at first glance I knew this was going to be something I wanted to try on! I love how different the colors are and really can you ever have too many cute coats?! Reg. $145 / <b>Sale Price: $96.90</b> <br />
<b>UPDATE: </b>runs a bit big, I sized down one full size!<br />
<br />
5. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CCC">Snake Skin Perforated Booties</a>: my favorite part about these booties in particular is that they're GREAT for the early months of all when it's that "in-between" temperature. Reg. $139.95 / <b>Sale Price: $89.90</b> <br />
<br />
6. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5Cya">adidas Sneakers</a>: you can NEVER go wrong with adidas when it comes to sneakers! They always are the best comfort wise and these are so cute, love a good white pair of sneakers! I expect these will sell pretty quickly too so get a hold of them ASAP! Reg. $85 / <b>Sale Price: $63.90</b> <br />
<br />
7. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CzK">Colorful Striped Sweater</a>: this sweater is going to sell out, for SURE. There was a similar striped sweater during last year's sale and it was one of the best selling items during the entire Anniversary Sale! I love how soft it looks and these colors - just too good! Reg. $69 / <b>Sale Price: $45.90</b> <br />
<b>UPDATE: </b>runs small! Size up!<br />
<br />
8. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CAt">Striped Cardigan</a>: I showed this to my mom the other day and she said, "don't you have that?" LOL. I definitely have a bit of an addiction to striped sweaters and cardis! LOVE how cute this one is - it'd look adorable with jeans and a tank top or even denim shorts or a denim skirt! It comes in more neutral colors too if stripes aren't your thing. Reg. $79 / <b>Sale Price: $49.90</b> <br />
<br />
9. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CxR">Cozy Fleece Pullover</a>: here's another find that will definitely sell like hot cakes! These became so popular last year and they're back, thank God! ;) They're so cozy and the BEST basic if you ask me. Reg. $78 / <b>Sale Price: $49.90</b> <br />
<br />
10. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CAj">Leather Moto Jacket</a>: here's one of the investment pieces I'd consider buying during the Anniversary Sale! A leather moto jacket is such a classic, staple piece that you'll always have in your closet and will reach for more than you think. I absolutely LOVE how this particular jacket has a removable hood - it makes it be so versatile, wear it more sporty with the hood and a little bit more dressed up without it. Reg. $299 / <b>Sale Price: $199.90</b> <br />
<br />
11. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CCj">Knee-High Leather Boots</a>: have you ever seen such a beautiful shade of cognac leather boots?! The chunky heel is the best part! Reg. $224.95 / <b>Sale Price: $149.90</b> <br />
<br />
12. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CBX">NARS Lip Gloss Set</a>: a set of lip glosses like this for such an incredible price ($39!) is too good to pass up! This is a great idea for a gift too if you have any birthdays or events to shop for coming up. Reg. $96 / <b>Sale Price: $39</b> <br />
<b><br /></b>
13. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5Cz7">Pleated Leopard Print Midi Skirt</a>: everything about this skirt has me ready to add to my cart as soon as the sale goes live! It's BEAUTIFUL. It also comes in black if leopard isn't your thing - again, a great staple piece that you can dress down or up and will get tons of use out of. Reg. $119 / <b>Sale Price: $78.90</b> <br />
<br />
14. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5Cym">Striped Crewneck Sweater</a>: here's another striped sweater that will likely sell out super fast! The neutral colors with the small pop of pink - too good! Reg. $68 / <b>Sale Price: $44.90</b> <br />
<br />
15. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CAG">Leather Loafers</a>: I bought a similar pair of loafer mules during the sale two years ago and have worn them OUT! There's so many colors to pick from - I'll try them on in-store tomorrow and come back to share sizing and fit! Reg. $149.95 / <b>Sale Price: $99.90</b> <br />
<br />
16. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CAw">Snakeskin Crossbody Bag</a>: THIS WILL SELL OUT IMMEDIATELY! I have never seen a handbag like this before, have you?! It's so unique and beautiful! Get yourself one! ;) Reg. $299 / <b>Sale Price: $199</b> <br />
<br />
17. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5Cye">The North Face Anorak</a>: I love this so much I may need to get it in the all-black color, too! It's such a perfect outerwear piece and this green/pink color combo is sooo different. Reg. $90 / <b>Sale Price: $65.90</b> <br />
<br />
18. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CSI">Nike Epic React Flyknit Sneakers</a>: one of my very favorite pairs of Nike sneakers is a part of the Anniversary Sale and I am SO EXCITED! Trust me when I tell you, these sneakers make you feel like you're walking on clouds. They're incredible and so is this pale blue color! They also come in a gorgeous hot pink/coral shade that you have to check out. <br />
<br />
19. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/5CBy">Zella Live In Leggings</a>: believe it or not, I've never really been a huge leggings fan. I'm not sure why but I've always gravitated more toward yoga styled pants - they just are more comfortable for me! Last year during the sale I tried these on in-store and fell in love. I can see why everyone loves them and they're always in and out of stock, so get yourself a pair (or two!) while you can for such a good price! Reg. $59 / <b>Sale Price: $38.90</b> <br />

You know it's really, officially summer in-full-swing when we're shopping for the 4th of July! I love shopping for summer clothes and even more for red, white and blue EVERYTHING. There's literally nothing better than celebrating America on a hot, sunny day, by the pool or at the beach or a BBQ. I rounded up some of the cutest patriotic themed pieces I could find for you to shop - and the best part is, these all will be SO cute to rock all summer long, not just on the 4th. Happy shopping!

1. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/44GK">'Hot Dogs, S'mores, Fireworks' T-Shirt</a>: such a cute graphic tee! I live for these kinds of shirts, I love to get dressed up but 9 times out of 10 you can bet I'm living in a comfy and cute tee like this. <br>
<br>
2. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/44Fu">Navy Blue Wedges</a>: obsessed with these and you wouldn't believe how comfortable they are! Like you aren't even wearing a wedge. Such a perfect color that'll match everything during the summer! <br>

<br>
5. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/44EZ">Distressed Denim Shorts</a>: if you have yet to try out American Eagle's denim section, you're missing out! I've always loved their denim and how it fits and they're killing it with the shorts selection they have this season. <br>

Mother's Day is almost here! I can't believe it's May but this weather is making it so real that summer is coming and there's no better way to kick off the best time of year than by celebrating our mamas! I put together a list of my very favorite gift ideas for Mother's Day - in case you're still shopping or still are clueless as to what to get - I always feel that way! Even though my mom likes so many things, I always find it so hard to shop for her. Here's a ton of great ideas to get for your mom, mom figure, grandmother, mom friends - anyone on your list!

This is the perfect compact wallet to use during the summer and for travel - and something I always suggest when gifting a wallet or card case of any kind is to get a few gift cards for the recipient's favorite place(s) and put them inside for an extra little something when they open their gift. <br>
<br>
12. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/241S">Floral 'Best Mom Ever' Tumbler</a>: so cute, so affordable and so great for any mom who loves a glass of wine at the end of a long day! <br>

<br>
24. <a href="https://amzn.to/2H8a2ff">Floral Recipe Box</a>: I find a recipe box like this to be so thoughtful - especially if your mom loves to cook or bake, or if she has lots of old family recipes to store inside! <br>
<br>

<br />
1. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Y5W">BELIF True Cream Moisturizing Bomb</a>: I started using this in place of my forever favorite, the Clinique Moisture Surge, just to try something different and because I felt like my skin was craving something new. I LOVE it. I still love the Clinique and would recommend it, but this is a great moisturizer and feels so lightweight on your skin. A little bit goes a very long way! <br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Y9g">REN Skincare Stop Being So Sensitive Kit</a>: ok so, this skincare line has changed my skin. If you've read any of my beauty posts, you know that I deal with occasional redness on my cheeks, and I'm always trying new things to try and combat it. Granted, it's worse in the winter and now that it's warming up weather-wise, it isn't <i>as</i> bad, but it's still there and I still hate it! This <i>Stop Being So Sensitive</i> skincare line has helped the redness and is a must try if you have sensitive skin. There's full-sized products available for everything in the kit, but I'd recommend trying this set first because it's $28 (can't go wrong), gives you a chance to try everything and see if it works for you, AND the bottle sizes are very generous. You can get at least a month's worth out of every product included. <br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Y83">Origins GinZing Refreshing Scrub Cleanser</a>: if you like the smell of oranges/orange juice, this is THE cleanser for you. I never have been so obsessed with the scent of a cleanser before trying this out. It's so good! I use this as my morning cleanser - it's super refreshing and makes my face feel so clean. <br />
<br />
4. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Y9b">Pro Filt'r Setting Powder</a>: this is the first FENTY beauty product I've tried and I have to say, I'm very impressed. My sister loves the FENTY foundation and loves it, too, if you're looking to try that! I love that this powder really does give a "blur" effect - makes your makeup look flawless! <br />
<br />
5. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Za3">Origins Super Spot Remover</a>: in my whole life, I have been blessed to never have dealt with acne. For the past 8 or so months, I get the occasional small breakout on my chin and it is THE most annoying thing in the world. I'm in the process of trying just about everything I can, including everything my dermatologist has recommended, but this stuff is magic if you have a blemish you need to quickly get rid of. Quick note - it IS drying, as it's meant to be, so be sure to only put it on the spot you're trying to dry out! I put it on at night after I do my skincare routine and by the next morning it's usually almost gone. It's a small bottle for $18, but a little goes a long way and it does last a while. <br />
<br />
6. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zbq">La Mer Moisturizing Soft Cream</a>: this is something I wait for the sale each year to re-buy! I know it's a real splurge, but it really is worth it. Whenever my skin acts up, after getting too much sun, when I'm feeling a little extra dry... This stuff always comes through. It's not something I use nightly, which is why it's worth the money to me IMO, but it's definitely worth it. If you've been on the fence (like I was for a while before eventually caving and trying it, lol), it's worth it. <br />
<br />
7. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Y92">NARS Liquid Blush</a>: I've never really been much of a blush person just because I always prefer really minimal makeup, but after trying this liquid blush, I'm a real blush-believer (that's a thing, right?!) and I think I figured out why I never liked blush - I'm not a huge powder person. I know everyone is different, but this liquid blush is everything I wanted and more in a face product. I feel like I say it a lot, but a little bit goes a VERY long way. It's the most beautiful color (I get the "natural finish" shade!) and elevates your look, no matter how minimal. <br />
<br />
8. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zb6">BELIF Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask</a>: I have used this every. single. night. for about 3 months now and I cannot stress enough how good it is. If you buy ONE thing from the sale, it has to be this. I wake up to baby-soft, glowing skin every morning. It's incredible and feels SO good when you put it on! It doesn't replace your moisturizer, but goes over it and that's what originally sold me on this product. Couldn't recommend it enough! <br />
<br />
9. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zcj">Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Sunshine Drops</a>: if you want to look like you've spent the last three days basking in the warm sun on a boat, get this. It gives such a beautiful, natural glow and is literally the only face makeup I wear on a daily basis. It's pretty sheer in terms of coverage, but that's what I prefer - and it mixes with your moisturizer. It's SO GOOD. <br />
<br />
10. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zcx">Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter</a>: while I don't wear foundation on a daily basis, I do if I have a special event/occasion, a night out, etc. and this is the foundation I reach for. It really is like putting a filter on your face! It's not technically considered a foundation, since you can use it as that or just a highlight or "complexion booster", but it has the most beautiful finish and buildable coverage. It's worth every penny, and especially so when it's on sale - it sells out a lot too so take advantage! <br />
<br />
11. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZcV">Blotting Papers</a>: it seems sort of silly to include these, but they're something I ALWAYS re-buy and I stock up while they're on sale, even though they're only $8! I just keep them in all of my bags, travel with them, use them daily - even if you're not especially oily (I'm not but get the occasional shine), they work really well to keep your skin looking matte all day long. <br />
<br />
12. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zdh">Mario Badescu Facial Spray</a>: believe it or not, you could easily use this as a setting spray. It's SO cooling, what I use on every single flight I take, and all summer long. Oh, and it's $7 (!!!). <br />
<br />
13. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZaP">REPLICA Under the Lemon Trees Roller Ball Perfume</a>: I'm not a daily perfume wearer, but when I do wear it, it's almost always a Maison Margiela scent. It's too good and this new <i>Under the Lemon Trees</i> scent makes me feel like I'm in Italy, lol! It also makes for a really great gift and these roller balls are the best way to figure out what scent you like the most before buying the bigger, more expensive bottle. <br />

<br />
1. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZdV">COOLA Sunless Tan Dry Body Oil</a>: this intrigued me to try because it's a dry body oil instead of a tanning mouse - I've used a mouse before, but it always stresses me out that I'm going to miss a spot or look streaky so I'm excited to try this dry oil! <br />
<br />
2. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zer">Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Finish Setting Powder</a>: I got this to keep in my travel beauty bag this summer - I used it once since I've gotten it in and so far, so good! <br />
<br />
3. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zf4">Farmacy Honeymoon Glow Resurfacing Night Serum</a>: are you one of those people who reads a million reviews before trying a new product?? I am and hopefully I'm not the only one, lol! That being said, the reviews are what sold me on trying this product. A few people mentioned it making a huge difference in hormonal acne, so I'm trying it out! I'll report back once I've used it a few times - the best thing about Sephora is their return policy, so if this looks like something you want to try, I'd get it while it's on sale and if you don't end up loving it, return it! <br />
<br />
4. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zgu">Cover FX Power Play Concealer</a>: LOVE how lightweight this concealer is! I'm always on the hunt for a "holy grail" type of concealer and still haven't found the one for me yet. But this one is pretty high up there so far - it's very light but provides really good coverage. <br />
<br />
5. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZgK">REN Evercalm Overnight Recovery Balm</a>: since I've been using the BELIF overnight mask mentioned above, I haven't tried this out yet but since I know this brand works so well for my skin, I cannot wait to try it out! <br />
<br />
6. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Ze0">NARS Orgasm Lip Tint</a>: this entire line is almost too good to be true - so so so excited to try out this lip tint! I know the color is perfect so I can't wait for it to arrive! <br />
<br />
7. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zg6">Boscia Rosewater with Witch Hazel</a>: one of the things recommended to me for my occasional breakout issue was witch hazel, so I'm trying this toner out! So far the only thing I've noticed is the smell and how good it is - you don't expect "witch hazel" to smell good (at least I wouldn't!), but this smells like roses and it's amazing. <br />
<br />
8. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zfd">U.F.O. Face Oil</a>: best thing about this is it comes in a mini size that's half the price so you can try to make sure you like it before committing! So excited to try this face oil, because again, it's meant to help clear your skin and it has AMAZING reviews. <br />
<br />
9. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zfi">Laneige Lip Glowy Balm</a>: I love a really pretty pink or red lip, but my personal preference is something lighter and more shiny than pigmented - at least for on a daily basis. I love the Laneige Overnight Lip Mask, so I figured this would be a hit and for $15 I figured, why not? It's quickly become one of my favorite purchases from this sale - it's BEAUTIFUL and perfect for everyday while also helping to hydrate your lips. <br />
<br />
10. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZhD">Amika Hair Detangler</a>: I feel like I can never find a great hair product that I love to detangle and help keep my hair looking and feeling healthy, so this is the next up on my list to try. <br />
<br />
11. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZhM">Renewed Hope in a Jar Glow Drops</a>: a must have product if you want to achieve a really healthy, natural glow without wearing a lot of makeup or using a highlighter. This is EVERYTHING. <br />
<br />
12. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zh2">Pineapple-C Brightening Serum</a>: I got this to add to my morning skincare routine - and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't drawn to it because of the pineapple shape of the bottle HAHA. But really, Vitamin C is so important for your skin and it's a great serum to add to your morning routine! <br />
<br />
13. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2ZiY">Dior Black Out Mascara</a>: normally, I'm not very picky with mascara. I feel like there's a lot of good ones, but everyone is so different so it's hard to find one that's really a "perfect" mascara. I had two friends recommend this to me so I'm excited to try it out! <br />
<br />
14. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/2Zi4">Slipsilk Scrunchies</a>: I sleep with my hair up in a bun almost every night and in hopes of preventing the damage that regular hair ties cause, I'm trying these out to sleep in! First impression: VERY soft yet work well to hold my thick hair up! <br />
<br />

Decorating and getting ready for a holiday or party during the spring is just so much more fun than any other time of year! I have a somewhat newly found love for putting together tablescapes (my Christmas themed table this past year was my first!) and have been planning my first spring table for a few months and am so excited with how it turned out! Use it for Easter Sunday or a spring party - from a casual dinner to a shower and so much more. I knew I wanted something pastel and springy but also wanted it to be simple enough to re-create and also something that I could put together easily over and over again this season.
</center>
<br />
<center>
Believe it or not, my inspiration for the entire table began with the napkins I used. Seems silly but when you see these napkins you'll get it. ;) I hope this gives you some ideas if you're looking for a simple but beautiful table setup this season! Everything is affordable and easy to put together and most importantly, COLORFUL!

I always alternate between my favorite <a href="http://bit.ly/2IQ1tqJ">champagne flutes</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/2VhX1rx">wine glasses</a> and loved the way these flutes looked here! I got the tumblers at Home Goods and they're plastic but look just like glass - they're also dishwasher safe! I linked the champagne flutes and some similar tumblers to shop for your table:

A floral centerpiece is such a statement maker and is so customizable to what you like and to what matches the color scheme you have going on! I always, always, always get my flowers from Trader Joe's and they last forever. Longer than a florist's bouquet ever has for me, and much longer than anywhere else I've bought flowers. They're also very affordable so if you need a large amount of flowers (like I did here), you can get a vase full of flowers for well under $50. I filled the main vase with white and pink roses, tulips, baby's-breath and hypericum berries. I originally was going to do three large vases filled with flowers, but saw these gorgeous ranunculus' at Trader Joe's and got a couple of bunches of them and added them to smaller vases on either side of the large vase, and added in some leftover baby's-breath and a tulip in each. I LOVE the combination and how it turned out! The ranunculus are what I like to call knock-off peonies (lol) because they look so similar but are smaller and I love the color variation in them. So simple to put together and so, so beautiful! I still can't stop staring at these flowers - best part is you'll be able to have them intact for multiple parties if you're hosting a lot this spring! My large vase is a vintage Tiffany & Co. vase, but I linked a bunch of similar ones in size/design and some options that would be beautiful for a centerpiece:

Probably the most beautiful <a href="http://bit.ly/2XEhF2A">napkin rings</a> ever! These probably are <i>too</i> pretty to be napkin rings and I'm so obsessed with them! There's a silver version and gold - these are the gold ones and they're incredibly beautiful. The quality is amazing and they look like they were so expensive, but they're really so affordable! I couldn't believe just how perfect they looked with these floral napkins - they're a perfect spring touch and they're something you'll always have and can always use to elevate any table setup no matter what time of year it is.

These <a href="http://bit.ly/2IBTHS4">floral napkins</a> have been in and out of stock since they went on sale (!!), so if they're not available when you're looking, <a href="http://bit.ly/2Gtzhap">THIS set</a> is nearly identical (seriously - same pastel shades and floral print) for half of the price!

This pretty <a href="http://bit.ly/2IIfckn">acrylic jar</a> is from Home Goods and is the brand <i>AR&Co.</i>; I was hoping to find it online for you guys but it looks like it's only available to purchase from Italy (lol!) and I found <a href="http://bit.ly/2IIfckn">one on eBay</a> in new condition, and check your local Home Goods for it/something similar - they had SO many similar ones there when I purchased this one! Here's some other decorative jars that are similar and would work well as a part of a centerpiece or to hold croissants, pastries, etc. on your table:

These woven, "petaled" <a href="http://bit.ly/2GxWZlK">placemats</a> make the entire table in my opinion! I originally found <a href="http://bit.ly/2VfLDfK"><i>these</i> scalloped rattan placemats</a> on Serena and Lily and planned to get them, and then I found the ones I ultimately used for more than half of the price! They're pretty much identical and are the perfect statement maker. I love the way they look and the way that the scalloped edges adds so much texture to the table. It also really stands out and makes the plates "pop" and look even prettier!

My favorite part (besides the napkins that I can't stop talking about!) about this tablescape is how versatile every single piece is. The white dinner plates are ones I'll use year round, and I'll use the rattan placemats ALL spring and summer for indoor and outdoor entertaining. The pearl napkin rings will no doubt get over used, and you can never go wrong with a white, $14 table runner. Here's the links for everything I used:

I loved putting this together soo very much and took way too many pictures of the floral centerpiece, it was VERY hard to pick which to share here because I went overboard when I shot this tablescape! ;) I hope this gives you some inspiration if you're looking to update your decor this season or are hosting soon - this is super simple to re-create and customize to what you like!</center>

Warm weather, brighter sunshine and spring break are the true first signs that summer is getting so close! Even if the winter was rough and you don't feel all that ready to go bathing suit shopping, it's never too late to make even the smallest changes that will help you to feel better instantly. The days are getting longer, sun is getting warmer and it's time to get ready for the best time of the year! If you're heading on a spring break trip, here's some tips on how you can look and feel your very best to prep for your vacation!
</center>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>Clean out your fridge and go food shopping </b><br />
Get rid of anything tempting that you know is so bad for you - no need having that temptation around when you're trying to be good! Instead, fill your fridge with healthier options - if you have a major sweet tooth (like I do!), get a variety of fruit and keep it in containers so you can quickly and easily enjoy it. Instead of chips or the salty things that are easy to reach for, look for healthier options - veggie sticks, pretzels, etc. I'm a firm believer in having "everything in moderation", so you'll always find some sort of chocolate in my kitchen but there's a difference between having a lot of something and every day vs. the opposite. <br />
<br />
<b>Get into a healthy exercise routine </b><br />
I think the most important thing you could do when it comes to exercising is finding a workout that you really enjoy. It's so much easier to get yourself to workout if you enjoy it, so do some trial and error to figure out what works best for you. For me, daily morning runs are my go-to and I'll mix in some cardio every few days. Work your way up to where you want to be, increasing the amount of time you workout for - or the amount of reps you do of any given workout - each day until you reach your goal. Then set a new goal and repeat! <br />

I also think it's so important to have workout gear that you love and feel good in - and it's no secret that I LOVE all things adidas for workouts. Their sneakers are the comfiest and workout clothing is so flattering and feels good to wear. These <a href="https://www.adidas.com/us/cloudfoam-pure-shoes/DB0695.html?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=dailydoseofdesign&utm_campaign=springbreak" rel="nofollow">Cloudfoam Pure Sneakers</a> are my newest loves and actually feel like you're walking on a cloud, lol! I run in them almost daily and think the blush pink version is next on my list. This <a href="https://www.adidas.com/us/superlite-prime-2-hat/CK0440.html?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=dailydoseofdesign&utm_campaign=springbreak" rel="nofollow">gray adidas baseball cap</a> is also great for workouts on warmer, sunnier days (even take it with you on your beach trip!) because it's so lightweight and breathable and is meant to keep sweat off of your forehead - it really works! One more of my favorites by adidas to get a good workout in with is <a href="https://www.adidas.com/us/trefoil-tee/DV2587.html?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=dailydoseofdesign&utm_campaign=springbreak" rel="nofollow">this Trefoil Tee</a>; it comes in SO many colors and is the comfiest! I wear these for more than just working out in, they're great for everything and have the perfect, relaxed fit. <br />
<br />
<b>Plan your outfits for every day before your trip </b><br />
Seems kind of silly/generic/obvious, but I always plan out outfits for everything we'll be doing on a trip so that I know I love every outfit I bring. <br />
<br />
<b>Buy swimwear online </b><br />
...to have your own try-on session in the comfort of your own home. I MUCH prefer looking in my own mirror and trying things on in my own home and then returning whichever pieces I don't like, than trying a million things on in a dressing room - where it's usually overwhelmingly hot, loud and has bad lighting! This of course makes more sense if you're shopping at store that offers free shipping and returns (Nordstrom, Amazon, Bloomingdale's, Macy's - to name a few!). <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Exfoliate, moisturize, repeat </b><br />
You should always, of course, be taking care of your skin year round but if you've lacked some TLC over the colder months, it's time to exfoliate weekly and begin to moisturize DAILY! <br />
<br />

Are you in full spring cleaning mode? This year I'm trying to de-clutter more than anything else, but it's so important to remember to get every aspect of your life in order - that goes beyond just cleaning your shoe shelves! Something that I think often gets overlooked is cleaning your digital footprint. I'm guilty of accumulating way too many things and living a rather cluttered digital life, but any time I take a few to stop and de-clutter, I always feel so much better! Here's some of the things I do to take charge of my digital life and every tool and tip you need to do the same.
</center>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><b>1. Delete old, unneeded files and images</b>: this is a huge one and something I try to do at least once a month. No matter what kind of storage your laptop or desktop has, the less you have the quicker it'll operate. I usually take an hour or so to just delete things I don't need like screenshots, for example. They add up quick! <br />
<br />
<b>2. Condense and organize file folders</b>: just like in your closet, everything should have a place! Organize files and pictures into corresponding folders, and condense them as much as possible. As an example, I organize the pictures I keep saved on my laptop by year, and within that folder by month. It just makes life easier when you're looking for something specific. <br />
<br />
<b>3. Install CleanMyMac X</b>: if you're a Mac user, <a href="https://clvr.li/mpw20">this</a> is an absolute essential tool to clean your digital life. I first got the software on my laptop that I use to work on daily and travel with the most, and loved the way it worked so much that I purchased a license for my secondary computer as well! Both computers are working like new and I've had both for a few years now - I have this software to thank for making a 3 year old laptop as good as new. The <a href="https://clvr.li/mpw20">CleanMyMac X software</a> basically cleans every part of your computer that you can't physically see, but that is taking up space and slowing your machine down. It cleans unneeded files like outdated caches, broken downloads, old logs, etc. and figure out which applications are taking up unnecessary gigabytes (in places like the mail/photos apps and iTunes). <br />
<br />

On it's first scan, CleanMyMac X removed 2.61 GB of junk from my laptop. Almost 3 gigs of NOTHING! I was so amazed and absolutely love the deep dive the log gives you after a scan - you can see where the junk was removed from, what was taking up space and any and every cleanup the scan did. <br />

The scan also tells you if there's any potential threats (viruses) that your computer is susceptible to and how much the speed of your machine has been increased by due to removing unwanted and unneeded files. I also love how sleek the software is! <br />
<br />
<b>4. Clean up your inbox</b>: are you one of those people who has to open every single message and reach 0 by the end of each day? Or do you not care and let it accumulate? I am the latter. Guilty as charged. I often get asked how it doesn't stress me out to have so many unopened messages but I just cannot be phased! I'm trying to get better at being on top of it though and that starts at unsubscribing to things and stores you don't need. I can't even tell you how many subscriptions I have that are completely useless... Not proud of it but I'm working on it! ;) <br />
<br />
<b>5. Import photos/videos to the cloud</b>: this is something I need to get better about... I always wait way too long to update my iCloud and every time I say I'll be better about it... That's yet to happen but I'm rooting for myself. ;) iCloud is the BEST tool for me because I have so many Apple devices and it makes it so easy to access everything in one place. It's also organized by date which my organized, Virgo self truly appreciates. You can have a free (limited space) plan, or pick between a couple of other plans. I had been paying $2/month but just upgraded to 1TB of space and in my opinion, $9/month is worth keeping everything safe and sound. <br />
<br />
<b>6. Clean out your favorites folders</b>: I always, always save things to my favorites - products I want to buy, tutorials, articles I love/want to read later, etc. I find that by the time I go to clean things out, I've accumulated things I don't know <i>why</i> I saved or that I just don't need anymore and they take up so much space! It's also nice to be able to see the things you've saved easier without a ton of things listed. <br />
<br />
<b>7. Update your passwords</b>: this should be an obvious one, but take the time to update all of your passwords and store them somewhere safe! I use LastPass, Password Vault and also keep a note in my phone (probably not the safest... but it is convenient) with my most-used passwords. Update everything and consider incorporating two-factor authentication where it's available - you can never be too safe. <br />
<br />
<b>8. Delete any apps you don't use</b>: I constantly download apps on the whim, try new things, and sometimes I really have no clue how or when I downloaded an app, hah! Either way, now's the perfect time to clear up your storage and delete any apps you aren't using. Go into your storage section on your phone and see how much space every app is using - that's a good way to begin to gauge what you don't mind deleting or what you don't need. <br />
<br />
<b>9. Do an additional backup</b>: no matter where you have all of your files, images, etc. saved to, it's always a good idea to be extra careful and have things in multiple places. I have everything on my iCloud account, and on an external drive. Be sure you're backing things up periodically if they don't automatically refresh! <br />
<br />
<b>10. Refresh your browser(s)</b>: this may be something you already do often - or have to to get things to work right - but clear your browser cache and cookies. Things will run quicker, smoother and help with your security. Something I've learned is that if you're searching for any sort of flight, deal or something on sale, your results will differ if your browsing history isn't playing a factor. It's always good to have a fresh browsing start, and this is something you should do more than just during a deep spring clean. <br />

Something that I've learned over the past few years (AKA since having to adult... coincidence? I think not!) is that stress can affect just about everything - mood, health and especially our skin. Combine added stress with hormones and you have a recipe for disaster on your hands. Most of us have a great skincare routine that we can count on each day but what happens when it's just not enough? Or when your skin is craving something new? I look for a lot of things in my skincare products and am super picky with what I put on my face, but I also know that there's much more that goes into the appearance of your skin and how to handle what stress can do. And when I need to get my skin back in check, it's all hands on deck!
</center>
<br>
<a name='more'></a>
Stress = cortisol production. Cortisol production = excess oil. This sounds like a bad math problem, but it's for REAL. It's crazy, but since we all deal with stress and I've been trying very hard to find things that *actually* work lately, I had to share in hopes of these things working for some of you who are dealing with the same things as well. Aside from my normal skincare routine, here's the extra steps I've added in, or will add solely when I'm dealing with stress and/or am seeing a difference in my skin: <br>
<br>
<b>Celery Juice</b>. I'm working on a lengthy post with all of your burning questions regarding the newest fad, but it's sooo much more than a fad. I have seen such a huge difference in so many aspects of my life, including my skin, since I began drinking celery juice. More to come on that, but it's the real deal and it's a game changer. So if you've been on the fence about whetehr or not it's worth a try, I'm here to tell you it's 110% WORTH IT! <br>
<br>
<b>Implement specific ingredients</b>, like tea tree oil and AHA and BHA's into your skincare routine. Tea tree oil is a great, natural anti-inflammatory and when I'm most stressed, I ALWAYS add this into my skincare routine. It's one of those natural oils that works wonders for a variety of things and if you're noticing more redness, more blemishes or really any sort of dullness or difference in your skin, try it out! <br>
<br>
AHA stands for <i>alpha hydroxy acid</i>; BHA stands for <i>beta hydroxy acid</i>. Both help exfoliate and both are great additives to a skincare routine. This is something I knew NOTHING about and my dermatologist, along with a ton of research, led me to realize that these hydroxy acids are almost essential for glowing skin. Both are natural ingredients that are known to help and have helped cure hormonal acne for me in the past and presently as well. <br>
<br>
<b>Go for a walk</b> or do any sort of workout that you really enjoy. Sounds cliche, but sometimes all you need is a good workout to de-stress and get your mind moving away from what's causing your stress. <br>
<br>
<b>Add in products that are meant to deeply cleanse your pores</b>. I started to use Bioré's Blue Agave & Baking Soda <a href="https://ooh.li/0d923f2">Balancing Pore Cleanser</a> and <a href="https://ooh.li/25d1a44">Whipped Nourishing Detox Mask</a> and so far, so good. Think of these products as the ultimate detox for your skin - the blue agave provides an insanely amazing cooling feeling and when you wash off the <a href="https://ooh.li/0d923f2">cleanser</a> or wipe away the face mask, you can feel it working on your skin! I've been using Bioré products on and off for years now - they have a ton of different lines based on skincare concern and they pride themselves on being a brand that pays serious attention to your pores. <br>

The cleanser deeply cleanses and exfoliates your pores and the <a href="https://ooh.li/25d1a44">mask</a> works to condition them - all working together to provide some much needed TLC for your skin. I mention both the cleanser and the mask because they work together as one to provide a deep clean that doesn't dry you out. The baking soda (works hard to cleanse) and blue agave (works to sooth and nourish your skin) combo is insane! If you have combo skin, this duo is most especially for you. <br>

<center>*<i>Before you use either of these products, it's super important to note that if you've ever had a problem with products that contain menthol or have extremely sensitive skin, the face mask may not be for you. I deal with skin sensitivity, but not to the point that a mask will have an affect on my face - for reference</i>!</center>
<br>
<b>Bioré Baking Soda Pore Cleanser</b>: I never even thought about using baking soda to help purify pores but the more you think about it, the more sense it makes. <a href="https://ooh.li/0d923f2">This cleanser</a> works to literally pull impurities, leftover makeup and oils from your pores and exfoliate your skin so that on top of stress, you aren't dealing with clogged pores. Since cortisol plays a huge roll in your pores and increases when you're stressed out, having a cleanser that helps give your skin a detox is essential. I've been using <a href="https://ooh.li/0d923f2">this cleanser</a> and so far, I LOVE it. It smells incredible and I can feel it working when I use it - that's what I want to get out of every skincare product I use. As someone who deals with dry skin and even more so in the winter, I especially love that this isn't a cleanser that'll dry you out - in fact, it leaves your skin feeling so soft! If you've read any of my most recent beauty posts, you know that most recently I've been dealing with cheek redness. I have tried A TON of products - creams, serums, cleansers, oils... Everything shows promise, but no one product has provided me with 100% answers (after I consulted with my dermatologist!) and I'm so happy to say that I have seen improvement in the balance of my skin with this Bioré cleanser. <br>
<br>
<b>TO USE</b>: wet your face with room-temperature water, lather cleanser in your hands and massage all over your face. Rinse thoroughly and pat-dry with a soft, dry towel. <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbxuICGmh9ZBn_cM9piWWaACW8QPttdEED4954oE9c3zlcwG_lrFcWXOuqHAQI7lcIhqnZolyDlkp7-CreuRK9zChRR9jyrvlWIVQkVTglxzzqnRKnkkx3VYAF0H637jajtZSFOBJNNToP/s1600/Simple+ways+to+calm+your+skin+down.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbxuICGmh9ZBn_cM9piWWaACW8QPttdEED4954oE9c3zlcwG_lrFcWXOuqHAQI7lcIhqnZolyDlkp7-CreuRK9zChRR9jyrvlWIVQkVTglxzzqnRKnkkx3VYAF0H637jajtZSFOBJNNToP/s1600/Simple+ways+to+calm+your+skin+down.jpg" data-original-width="685" data-original-height="457" /></a></div>
<br>
<b>Bioré Whipped Nourishing Detox Mask</b>: <a href="https://ooh.li/25d1a44">this mask</a> is the closest thing to a real-time skin detox that you could ask for. Upon your first time using this mask, I highly recommend using it on one small spot at a time to see how your skin reacts to it. Like I mentioned, it does have menthol in it so if you know you don't react well to menthol and/or have extremely sensitive skin, refrain from using this <a href="https://ooh.li/25d1a44">mask</a>. Regardless, ONLY leave the mask on for 3-5 minutes! The times that I've used it so far, I've used it for 2-3 minutes tops. My favorite part about the mask is that it has a super creamy and whipped texture and again, isn't drying. <br>
<br>
<b>TO USE</b>: on wet skin, apply the mask evenly to your face and let it sit for 3-5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with room-temperature water and pat-dry with a soft, dry towel. <br>

For the past few years I've been turning the best Grammy's looks into everyday looks and this year there were a lot of different looks on the carpet and I love these re-created outfits! Some of the best dressed women from the carpet this year - check it out!

I was sooo excited when Lady Gaga hit the Red Carpet last night - she looked absolutely stunning and while her wild, out-there looks always make headlines, I LOVED seeing her look so chic while still staying true to her style. She wore the most beautiful, shimmering Celine gown with Tiffany & Co. jewels - a simple way to get the look? This crushed velvet <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Zr0k">blazer</a>, the best high-waisted <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/ZrYE">denim</a> and power heels. ;)

Before last night, I hadn't listened to Kacey Musgraves' Album of the Year winning album but after hearing her incredible voice on the show I listened and I LOVE it. She is so talented! She had quite a few outfit changes but this Red Carpet look was hands down my favorite. I LOVE tulle and she wore this Valentino dress so incredibly well! She's stunning and could probably wear a plastic bag and look amazing, hah! This pink <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Zr2V">pleated skirt</a> is a perfect way to re-create her Grammy's look - it looks so cute with a simple white tee (<a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Zr2A">these</a> are my favorite ones!) and a pair of stylish sneakers. The belt is completely optional, but love the way the burgundy shaded <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Zr3O">belt</a> looks to match the tulle sash on her gown.

It did not at ALL surprise me when realizing that Dua Lipa's incredibly stunning and sparkly gown was Versace. Absolutely loved this on her and my mind immediately went to this gray, midi <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Zs8r">twist-knot dress</a> that I just bought for spring! She noted on the Red Carpet that she wore a ton of rings, so I picked a bunch of pastel/spring themed rings that I'm loving lately that go so well with this look. She kept it simple since her dress was such a statement maker and everything about it was so perfect!

So simple yet seriously stunning - I mean you really can't go wrong with Dior! This off-the-shoulder crop <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Ztjs">sweater</a> looks so much like Nina's gown and I love the way it looks with high-waisted denim and simple sandals come spring.

This year, take time to celebrate your best friends and best girls in your life on Valentine's Day! Whether you're single or in a relationship, there's always time and good reason to celebrate your girls. This year I put together customized gift baskets for my friends and filled them with things I knew each of them would love - best part about giving a gift basket is that it's a super personalized gift! They were all different but all included a Vanilla Gift Card that I found at CVS, because there's no better gift!

Gift baskets are SO much fun to put together, aren't they?! I love picking things out and thinking of who you'll gift it to as you fill it with goodies. This Galentine's gift basket has a cozy pair of slippers, popcorn, heart shaped candies, rose water, bath bombs, nail polish, makeup brushes, a tumbler, and of course, a Vanilla Gift Card. I got cute little pink baskets (reusable too - it'd be great to hold bath products in, store things under your bathroom sink or in a linen closet!) and filled the bottom with tissue paper before placing all of the gifts inside. Then I got a festive heart printed ribbon and laced it into the basket to make it festive for Valentine's Day!

These Vanilla Gift Cards are always my go-to when I need a quick gift idea! Especially if you don't know exactly what someone wants, letting them pick on their own is always the way to go. They're so convenient and easy to find - you can get a Vanilla Gift Card at your local CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, H-E-B, Family Dollar, Dollar General, Sam's Club or Walmart - they make it so easy! When there's so many gift cards in-store to choose from, you know you can never go wrong with a Vanilla Gift Card.

If you're hosting a Galentine's Day get together or just need a fun way to celebrate your friends for Valentine's Day, this is the cutest way to do it! Valentine's Day isn't just meant for your significant other - it's the perfect excuse to get together with your best girls, enjoy each others company, good food, laughs and fun little gifts. Going the personalized route is a special little touch that shows just how much thought went into the gift you're giving and adding in a Vanilla Gift Card will let her pick her favorite things to buy!

Cheers to the 974 day month also known as January ALMOST being over. Just a few more days - finally! This month always feels never ending and it's on a whole new level if you live somewhere cold! The good news is the sun is starting to set past 5 PM again and spring is in sight. We're getting closer and if you're needing a few ways to get through the rest of the never-ending season of winter, I can't recommend these ideas enough!
</center>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
1. Plan a trip </h3>
<br />
If you can plan a getaway while it's still cold, that's the way to go! Every February I escape to Florida for the majority of the month and visit family and friends just because I've usually reached my limit of winter by then. ;) Even if it's a weekend at the beach, being under the sun will remind you that warm weather does in fact still exist! If work or school has you bound right now, plan a trip for over the summer or whenever you're able to travel. Having flight reservations to look forward to is always a motivator! <br />
<br />
<h3>
2. Buy fresh flowers </h3>
<br />
Keeping bright, colorful, fresh flowers in your house is a must if you ask me! I always have a bouquet or two throughout my house because I crave the scent and how beautiful they make my home feel. <br />
<br />
<h3>
3. Get organized </h3>
<br />
I think all of us have some form of "get organized" written on our New Year's goals/resolutions lists, but don't stop now just because January is almost over! Or in my case, no time like the present to get started, lol! I've spent the last week going through my closet and hanging bins upon bins of laundry up (embarrassing, yes, but hey it's done now! ;) and figuring out what I wanted to donate and what I needed to wear more or get rid of. It's funny how once you get started and on a roll you don't want to stop - now that my closet is done I've moved onto linen closets, the cabinets under my bathroom sink (a scary one...) and everything else I can think of. Consider it super early spring cleaning?? Whatever works! <br />
<br />
<h3>
4. Shop for spring </h3>
<br />
This is my favorite because I love to shop and I cannot get enough of the bright colors and patterns that come along with the warmer weather!! There's beginning to be tons of great spring finds and I can't help but buy a few things here and there, and to be a little more practical - look for things that you can wear to transition from winter to spring in, that way you get more use out of what you buy sooner! Here's some bright colored finds that you can wear now and that'll transition into spring sooner rather than later! <br />

<h3>
5. Get outside and moving </h3>
<br />
Last week the high temperature for most of the week was below freezing. It felt good if it got above 20 degrees... But no matter how cold it is, get outside every day even if you're taking a 10 minute walk. A breath of fresh air does you sooo much good and so does Vitamin D! It sounds cliché but it couldn't be more true - it's even better if the sun is shining! The more you move the better you'll feel - I doubted that for a long time but haven't stopped since I figured out just how true it was. Moving and exercising can fix so many things you're feeling! <br />
<br />
<h3>
6. Change up your routine </h3>
<br />
Most especially on weekdays, I've come up with a routine and schedule that I always stick to and that I've found works well for me. It's not always ideal to change a routine, especially if it's working for you, but as hard as it is for me to admit as someone who hates change, change really can be good. When the weather is less than ideal during these long winter months, make a change to it - even if it's something small. Try working out in the morning instead of at the end of the day, get up an hour earlier or anything else you can think to change. Having the same routine day after day can get so monotonous *especially* when it's cold and crappy out. <br />
<br />
<h3>
7. Make a calendar of upcoming events </h3>
<br />
This may sound silly to some, but I saved the best for last because this is truly what's helped me the most this winter and in past years also... I have a large desk-top, paper calendar that I keep on my desk and write down important notes/deadlines and dates I don't want to forget on it, but I also write (in a different colored pen so it stands out!) upcoming events that I'm excited about. Whether it's a trip, dinner with a friend, a night out, special event - it can literally be anything you're excited about - write it down. Having things on the horizon that you're excited about give you something to look forward to and past the dreary winter months with. The more, the better - and think a few months in advance so that the events you're thinking about are ones that take place in the spring/summer! It can be anything, no matter how small or big it is - if it's important to you, it's big enough. <br />
<br />
<br />
<center>
Truth is - if you're struggling with dealing with winter, you're not the only one. It's a real thing, and affects SO many of us. Doing whatever you can to get through it only makes it go quicker! ;) This goes for anyone and everyone - even if you live in a warmer climate. Before we know it we'll be complaining of heat, lol!

I know that I'm 2+ weeks late with December's/the final Currently Craving of 2018, but for good reason - it's all of my favorite and top purchases from 2018 and these are SO good you guys! It took some time to narrow it down to my top 10, but these are my most used/worn/loved things I bought last year and are all 100% items I'd recommend to you all! Best part is everything is still in stock! From clothing to beauty buys to useful must haves, you'll love these!

<br />
I started using this right after the summer ended, AKA when my tan began to fade. I figured I'd like it since there's never been a <i>Drunk Elephant</i> product I didn't like and sure enough, it's one of my favorite and most-used beauty products! I use it every single day and it's basically a very natural, liquid bronzer. I mix one pump with my moisturizer (I use <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3T8">this Clinique Moisture Surge moisturizer</a> - I talk about it a ton! ;) and it gives my skin a really pretty and natural glowy tan. It's not too dark that it doesn't match my skin and looks SO natural. A little bit goes a long way and you can customize how dark you look by adding more or less of the serum. It also gives your skin a really dewy/glowy look which I love and strive for! I've been wearing it every day in place of a bronzer and since I don't really wear that much face makeup, sometimes this is all I need. It's affordable and like I mentioned, will last a long time, so it's worth every penny! Highly recommend. <br />

<br />
This is one of the most - if not THE most - useful item I bought in 2018! It plugs directly into your computer (the cord has a USB end) and is perfect to keep on your desk especially in the summer. You can also plug it into an adapter box and use it anywhere else! I take mine into the bathroom when I'm getting ready/overheated too hah! It's under $20 and so great to have. <br />

<br />
One of my favorite purchases of 2018 and apparently it was one of yours, too! I'm not at all surprised because it's SUCH an awesome cosmetic bag. I use it every single time I travel and even just when I'm on the go and/or to keep my everyday makeup products in. It's a decently large size, and you can fit even more in it than you'd think just by looking at it. You can choose your monogram color and font and it'd be a great gift to just about anyone, including yourself! <br />

Last winter, I shared the <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2018/02/the-ultimate-guide-to-cure-dry-skin.html">top products to use to combat dry, winter skin</a>. They all have helped, but last winter especially my hands/skin were SO dry - to the point that my hands had cracks, cuts and burned any time I walked outside! I had no idea why, other than the fact that it had been a really cold winter, but when this winter began I knew I had to find something that would prevent that from happening again because it was miserable. I'd sleep with Aquaphor and gloves to help, and it was a mess. I feel like I've tried just about everything out there that's natural, fragrance free and meant to help dry skin... And then I picked up a jar of <a href="https://amzn.to/2M48Uu0">CeraVe</a> while aimlessly walking through Target (lol) one day and ever since, my hands and skin have been SO SOFT. No dryness, no cracks, no cuts, no redness. It's literally been my miracle product. Since I realized how much it worked for me, I've begun to use other products of theirs including the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3SZ">PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion</a>, <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3S2">Skin Renewing Oil Gel Moisturizer</a> and <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3T0">Hydrating Cleanser Bar</a>. Miracles!!! I love this brand *so* much and could not recommend giving these products a try enough. They're seriously awesome and the best part is they're fragrance free and the lotions don't make your hands/face feel or look oily. <br />

Another buy that I've been raving about since I first bought them in July! I got them in the purple/lavender shade during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I've worn them nonstop. I got them in black when they were on sale on Black Friday and now I've been having to fight the urge to buy them in every single other color they come in! Lol! They're THE most comfortable sneakers ever - I wear them all day and with casual outfits, athleisure, to run/workout in - you name it! They run pretty TTS, but I could of sized down a half size to an 8.5 (my normal is a 9!). <br />

You guys know how much I love my Old Navy jeans! I always believe it's worth spending more for quality pieces, but Old Navy has the best selection of jeans that are sooo affordable and seriously the best quality. They last forever, wash really well and fit like a glove. Oh, and they're SO comfortable. This pair of lightly distressed straight/crop jeans has been my favorite I've bought all of 2018 and they're still available! You can dress them up with a pair of heels or booties as well as daily wear and it's a perfect medium wash - not too light, not too dark. Best part is they're <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3Sv">on sale right now</a> for $19!! I just bought a second pair - that's how much I wear them! ;) You will love these and if you're looking for a few new pairs of jeans, highly recommend checking out the ones Old Navy has. <br />

I know that these have become so popular over the past few months, but it is 100% worth your while to get one! I use mine twice a day (sometimes more if I need it!) and it's been a game changer for my skincare routines. I use it when I first wake up after applying my favorite <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3Tr">Origins GinZing Gel Moisturizer</a> and it helps to de-puff and seriously wakes me up. At night, I apply either the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3U5">Tarte Maracuja Oil</a> or the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3Ul">Drunk Elephant Marula Oil</a> and then rub it in using the jade roller. Aside from feeling really freaking good on your skin, it's also great for circulation, lymphatic drainage, puffiness, relieving tension (this is big for me because I clench my jaw while I sleep and get headaches from it!) and applying serums/oils/moisturizers. <br />
<br />
You can even stick it in the fridge 15-30 minutes before using it for an extra cooling affect. OBSESSED. Sometimes if I need a little pick-me-up during the day I'll use it just to help refresh my face! I've tried two and this one is my favorite! <br />

Simply pop this onto the side of your sink and clean your brushes in an instant! It's the best brush cleaner I've used and has Sigma's brush shampoo inside, so once you press your makeup brush onto the tool, the shampoo cleanses it. I try to clean my makeup brushes weekly, but let's be honest, that rarely happens... Although I will say, this makes it a much easier and quicker process. I don't wear that much makeup so I don't always have a lot of brushes to clean, but I do use a <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3Uo">kabuki brush</a> regularly and this <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/X3Vq">concealer brush</a> a lot! <br />

<br />
I've only been using this for a few months, but it's one of those things that you'll get use out of year round - in the winter because it's cold/your hair gets drier and in the summer due to spending time in the sun! You apply a little bit at your scalp after washing your hair and it acts as a leave-in treatment. It's made with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B3 - both of which are proven to help hydrate, relieve and balance out dryness. It smells so good and makes a huge difference in your hair and how your scalp looks and feels year round! <br />

I feel like I try out a lot of portable chargers... Lol! This is one of my top favorites and it's been a life saver. I keep it in my bag whenever I go out, when I travel, and sometimes just around the house! It's great for your phone and even your iPad so it makes traveling with even easier. There's so many different portable chargers out there and not always easy to find one that works really well and on a long-term basis, but this is it! <br />

This year's Pantone Color of the Year is called <i>Living Coral</i> and it's the absolute prettiest shade of peach ever! Last year I searched for the best products in the Color of the Year, which was Ultra Violet (read that post and shop those finds here!) and I've been so excited to put something similar together for this year's color because it's one of my favorite shades ever. My mom is absolutely obsessed with anything and everything in this shade of peach - I kid you not, she has a closet FILLED with peach/coral colored clothing, shoes and probably 15+ peach nail polishes, lol! Needless to say she's a bit excited about this year's Color of the Year. ;)

From home decor to clothes and accessories, here's everything you could possibly want in this year's beautiful and vibrant color!

Happy 2019! Wow, it's so crazy to be saying that and I hate to be the one to remind you, but 2009 was 10 years ago. Take a moment to realize where you were in 2009... What even is happening?!?! When I realized that it's been a D E C A D E since '09 on New Year's Eve, I about spit my drink out. Anyway, I always love and look forward to the holiday season but there's something SO refreshing about the start of a new, 365 day chapter; I know there's some who don't think it's a big deal and stand by saying that you can make changes and goals whenever, regardless of the time of year. True, but the way I see January 1st is a true, fresh new page to write a new story on.
</center>
<br>
<center>
I always like to spend the last few days of the year/first week or two of the new year to reflect on the past year. The positives, what I can and want to work on and even the negatives and how to bounce back or learn something from them. I obviously love to write, so I spend time writing out all of my goals (both short-term and long-term) and split them up by personal goals and business goals. I get detailed in my planner with each, and then have a more simplistic bullet-point list somewhere that I can see every. single. day. That's always my #1 tip when it comes to achieving any type of goal - the more you see it, the more motivated you'll become to be able to check it off! Be it on your bathroom mirror, on the refrigerator or at your desk, let it be something that stands out to you 24/7.
</center>
<br>
<a name='more'></a>
Personally, I prefer setting <i>goals</i> instead of <i>resolutions</i>. I know there really isn't much of a difference and they're kind of the same thing. But in my mind, goals are something you work towards and just have more of a meaning in my case anyway. Something I've learned over the years (that seems pretty obvious, one would think) is to set more, smaller goals that you know you can achieve and then a couple of larger, bad-ass goals that you can work toward throughout the year. <br>
<br>
I haven't felt this committed to achieving a list (laundry list, really) of goals the way I am this year in a long time - actually, probably ever. I'm 24 and there's a lot I hope to achieve in the next few years and for me, 2018 felt like a "set up" year for what I know I'm able to do this year. Does anyone else feel that way? It's really motivating and has me eager to get to work! <br>
<br>
Whenever I try to choose a "word" of the year, I end up with a handful that all have meaning to me and have trouble picking just one. This year is no different, but the one word/theme I'm really going to focus on is <b>determination</b>. I'm determined to make positive changes personally; determined to continue to grow my business and connect with so many more of you; determined to find self-love from within and expand it into every day life. I could go on and on with words of the year - each could become its own novel of a post! ;) <br>
<br>
Here's some of my top goals for 2019 - I have an extended list that I'll share at some point, but these are the things I'm determined to focus on the most and focus on FIRST. <br>
<br>
<i>Learn to love getting fit</i>. And that goes deeper than just losing a few pounds here and there; I want to overall increase my quality of living every day in terms of energy, specifcally, and that all starts from what you put in. I take regular walks/runs but I want to get into more types of workouts, take more classes and all of that good stuff. Now that the holidays are over, I'm 100% committed to eating cleaner and know that it'll better my skin and energy levels on top of making me feel better inside. <br>
<br>
<i>Be more intentional with my time</i> - and try not to be on my laptop, working and zoned in until midnight every night. The problem with this is, I LOVE to work. I'm a workaholic and love to make plans to make plans. But if the past week or so that I've taken off to relax and be tuned into family and friends for the holidays has shown me anything, it's that taking time for yourself and to be present in the moment is EVERYTHING. The work-life balance is everything - don't really know why it's taken me so long to really realize that, but if I can do one thing to better myself this year, it's to be more intentional with my time during the weekdays so that come 7-8 PM I can completely unplug and recharge for the next day. I know that overall, this will help in so many aspects. <br>
<br>
<i>Take a photography class</i>. I'd say about 97% of the time, I'm the one who takes all the photos you see on my blog and across social media. The other 3% is my mom, sister or whoever is around to help me out! I've upgraded my cameras (looking to upgrade? <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2017/03/finding-right-camera-for-you-great.html">Here's the best cameras out there</a> for beginners and anyone looking to try something new!) a few times and have taught myself SO much about photography. I love taking pictures - on family vacations my parents always laugh at how many pics my sister and I take! Hah! There's so much to learn when it comes to using a camera to it's full potential and how to get the best shots in all different situations and as something I love AND use for my blog, it'd be so beneficial to learn more about an aspect of the business that I use *literally* every single day. P.S., if you've ever taken a photography course and know of a good one, send recs my way please! ;) <br>
<br>
<i>Travel and experience</i> as many new things as humanly possible. If you've been around for a while and/or have read any number of my travel blog posts, you know how passionate about this I am. There is NO better experience that you could ever give yourself than exploring this world. Nothing. I am the pure definition of a homebody, but there's no words that could explain how freeing it is to travel and see a sight you've dreamed of seeing. <br>
<br>
<b><i>RELATED</b></i>: <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2017/04/how-to-start-travel-fund.html">How to Start a Travel Fund</a> <br>
<br>
<i>Challenge my self to be more creative</i> and intentional with quality over quantity. In an ever-growing industry that changes as fast as you can blink, you HAVE to be creative. I love my creative side and love to think creatively, but it's also easy to get bored with the norm and want to change things up. I'm always itching to do and try new things and sometimes due to being a serious procrastinator (that could be an own goal of its own - procrastinate everything WAY less!) and time, I find myself just adding the changes I want to make creatively to a long list of things that never seem to get done. For me, creativity = more quality content. <br>
<br>
<center>
<b>All of that to say, I'm so ready to learn more, grow more and <i>live</i> more starting this year!</b>
</center>
<br>

It's a whole new year to make new choices, better decisions and achieve more success. You have the power to make 2019 exactly what you want it to be - challenge yourself, be kind to yourself and hold yourself accountable. Make it the year of "you", and do more of what makes you happiest. Life's too short for anything else, and nothing feels better than making yourself proud. In 2019, leave your comfort zone, invest in yourself and reach new heights - you'll be so glad you did and I can't wait to come back and reflect on this exact sentiment with you all next year and put into perspective how the year went. For now, it's off to work! ;) Happy New Year and a HUGE thank you to every single one of you, because as cliché as it sounds, none of this would be at ALL possible without you. I'm so grateful for each and every one of you!

Christmas came and went too quickly, and now we're all quickly switching gears to celebrate the New Year! One of the best parts about NYE is celebrating what's to come and no matter what you're doing - staying in, going out or anything in between - there's always room for some sparkles and sequins in your outfit. ;) These are some of my favorite styled looks for New Year's Eve and all of these pieces are affordable and can be mix and matched and re-worn throughout the year, so you'll get lots of use out of everything!

I love a really pretty, statement making dress and especially so for NYE, but I'm loving this all black, sparkly sequin look with pops of color and I'm thinking this will be my NYE look this year! This top is so cute and it's on the short side, so you could wear it with a skirt as well as these simple but oh-so-comfy and flattering high-waisted black jeans.

A little more subtle sparkle with this look, but I couldn't resist with that <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Xo5I">sequin bag</a>! It's on sale for just under $30 and it's a great statement maker. Also, check out the bow detailing on <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Xo61">these shoes</a>! I am SO in love! They're well under $100 and a classic black heel you'll have for a long time.

Ok, now we're talking! ;) There's nothing better than being cozy but still looking cute - if you're staying in for NYE or having some friends over, this is a perfect comfy but still cute outfit idea. These <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Xo7q">moto leggings</a> are high-rise, sooo comfortable and only $25! They're a great, less expensive option to the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/Xpbu">SPANX version</a> and even some others out there. They're a must have and you can wear them casually, like with this outfit, or even dress them up a bit with boots and a tunic sweater.

I LOVE, love, love the way sequins and velvet look together! This all navy look (with black accessories - keeping it simple!) is another favorite look, and maybe solely due to how beautiful this skirt is! P.S., this <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/XtMD">velvet tank top</a> is over 40% off and it's under $40! It comes in SO many colors and can be so versatile with every outfit, not just for special occasions!

There's still a lot of retailers - more than you may expect - who can guarantee Christmas delivery at this point, which is great, but if you're a super procrastinator and wait much longer you're going to feel like you have no other choice but to go shopping in stores and we all know how crazy and busy the malls are this time of year! If you're an Amazon Prime member (who isn't these days?!) then you're in luck because there's sooo many things that are all still available to get in time for the holiday. There are some things on Amazon that won't arrive so be sure to check your item before purchasing, but I rounded up some of the best available gift options that WILL get to your doorstep by Christmas Eve. You're going to love these and probably want all of them for yourself, too! ;) Get shopping before you're really out of time!

1. <a href="https://amzn.to/2SdTjua">Tarte Amazonian Clay Eye Shadow Palette</a>: the colors in this palette are stunning! I love gifting eye shadow palettes to my sister and girlfriends - they're always a huge hit! And you can never go wrong with a Tarte palette. <br>
<br>
2. <a href="https://amzn.to/2EHjKFg">Amazon Echo Spot</a>: makes every morning and day easier by keeping things organized and in one place! Does anyone remember the Disney movie <i>Smart House</i>? Because I LOVED that movie, and these Amazon Spots/Dots remind me sooo much of that movie! Hah! This one is low in stock, so if by the time you go to buy it's sold out, consider the <a href="https://amzn.to/2Sa4GDi">Amazon Echo Dot</a> - very similar, a little cheaper and still a great gift! <br>
<br>
3. <a href="https://amzn.to/2V0BTmA">Baublerella Jewelry Cleaner</a>: I've included this on-the-go jewelry cleaner in a number of <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/search?q=gift+guide">this year's gift guides</a> - it's SO smart to have and even better to gift! It cleans your jewelry in an instant and is great for keeping in your bag or traveling with. <br>
<br>
4. <a href="https://amzn.to/2V0ZMu5">Velvet Scrunchies</a>: these are so pretty and so practical! Best part about velvet scrunchies is you can wear your hair up and still look super cute. :) <br>
<br>
5. <a href="https://amzn.to/2EF4cC3">Gel Couture Nail Polish</a>: another great gift option that I always love to gift! Pair the <a href="https://amzn.to/2EGRPFF">Essie Gel Couture Top Coat</a> with the gel polish shade of your choice and you have a really nice little present. <br>
<br>
6. <a href="https://amzn.to/2Cp4xX8">Sherpa Throw Blanket</a>: I am sooo obsessed with this blanket! I got it a few months ago (just what I needed - another blanket! ;) and bought a couple of them to gift this season. They're the coziest and SO oversized and perfect to cuddle up with! <br>
<br>
7. <a href="https://amzn.to/2Sa63lq">'Beaches' Coffee Table Book</a>: one of the prettiest coffee table books that will 100% convince you to book a beach trip ASAP. The images in this book are STUNNING. It's my absolute favorite book I have displayed and I always love receiving coffee table books as gifts, so I know anyone would love to get one! <br>
<br>
8. <a href="https://amzn.to/2UZMw9i">Travel Wallet</a>: oh how I wish I had come across this travel wallet sooner than I did! It would have saved me many past airport headaches, lol! It comes in a TON (seriously, over 15) of colors and is just $15. It's the perfect travel wallet and fits your passport, ID, all of your cards/tickets/important documents in one, secure spot. <br>
<br>
9. <a href="https://amzn.to/2R7euRj">S'well Stainless Steel Travel Mug</a>: the perfect gift for anyone, but especially someone who travels! This stainless steel bottle is the perfect size to take with you in a carry-on bag. <br>
<br>
10. <a href="https://amzn.to/2ScfPUj">Rounded Tortoise Sunnies</a>: these are a Karen Walker look alike and have been sooo popular! Once you get them in and realize just how great they're made and how much they really do look like a much more expensive pair of sunglasses, you immediately want to buy them for everyone you know. ;) They're the cutest - a fun gift to open and just under $10. <br>

<center><i>Thank you to <a href="http://bit.ly/2Cqk0Xf">Kohl's</a> for sponsoring this post! As always, all opinions are my own.</i></center>

I am *almost* officially finished with my shopping, minus a few finishing touches! This time of year especially, it's so easy to get caught up in giving gifts and finding things you know everyone on your list will love (which is fair!) and forget all about setting a budget. I'm completely guilty of this but I LOVE gifting. Luckily for all of us, Kohl's has such a great variety of gifts (seriously, there's something for everyone!) and I decided to see just how far $100 would go at Kohl's by purchasing as many gifts as I could for under $100. If you're still searching for some awesome gifts, here's all the inspiration you need to get it done! ;)

I ran into Kohl's last week and checked so many things off of my shopping list! For just under $100 (I literally spent $99 on all of these gifts!) I got the coziest CuddleDuds throw blanket, a gold initial necklace, the most practical phone mount for the car, a cozy striped scarf and a portable phone charger. <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYbG-IgF6aN04cnLwrtkkWud7Dpu6z4TU617CcGW1CWiYAiVR9GQhGo5S8uEzTaWNMvUFf4ovD_y53InCoEDas8f6jL8KFkCFBgnKo8K7R1EwR26VxSJDvDe7QJ3eeq3n-zeAt_owrcEa/s1600/The+Best+Holiday+Gifts+at+Kohl%2527s.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsYbG-IgF6aN04cnLwrtkkWud7Dpu6z4TU617CcGW1CWiYAiVR9GQhGo5S8uEzTaWNMvUFf4ovD_y53InCoEDas8f6jL8KFkCFBgnKo8K7R1EwR26VxSJDvDe7QJ3eeq3n-zeAt_owrcEa/s1600/The+Best+Holiday+Gifts+at+Kohl%2527s.JPG" data-original-width="685" data-original-height="482" /></a></div>
<br>
These gifts are all such practical finds and are so great for just about everyone. I think the hardest part about shopping and picking everything out that I got, was not giving in and getting every one of these for myself too, lol! <br>
<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/2CoI1O1">Belkin Portable Charger</a>: these portable chargers are MUST haves. They're great for seriously everybody and if you're someone who travels, get one for yourself too! They're practical and something that we don't all normally think about buying for ourselves, which really is what makes a great gift! This specific <i>Belkin Pocket Power</i> charger can charge your device up to 3 times on 1 charge and it's slim and pretty lightweight. My absolute favorite gift to give AND receive, all of the time! I was so excited to see that Kohl's had them - and especially Belkin because they're some of the best ones on the market - and most importantly for a really great price! <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIK6WUXQWRCMFBtlZqX3PC7RtIgJpLrPX-YEHFxHHSXfb9optqMUi-27wvkHu4U506XA32U2aD52IG0ijR3jv01c_E0e2jmzw5eSUPRbS4g46Ho3K-vTg0v4_zTUVdLpTXCPi6AJtBx2ie/s1600/Belkin+Pocket+Power+Portable+Charger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIK6WUXQWRCMFBtlZqX3PC7RtIgJpLrPX-YEHFxHHSXfb9optqMUi-27wvkHu4U506XA32U2aD52IG0ijR3jv01c_E0e2jmzw5eSUPRbS4g46Ho3K-vTg0v4_zTUVdLpTXCPi6AJtBx2ie/s1600/Belkin+Pocket+Power+Portable+Charger.jpg" data-original-width="685" data-original-height="448" /></a></div>
<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/2T3KEKZ">Magnetic Dual Mount Phone Holder</a>: another seriously practical gift! I bought one of these from Kohl's for my dad for Christmas - he's the kind of person who is always on the go, constantly busy and whose brain is in 10 places at once (so THAT'S where I get it from, lol!). He's constantly working and answering phone calls and I know this is going to make his life easier while driving! The cool part about this phone holder is you can mount it on the window or use the secondary piece to mount it on the air vent. Originally $40, it's on sale for half off! <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi39rTAcmhbzz4qR_s0F-uZp-ovZ9v1xttdTXm79lSqJdGLm05A54tQWPotlacGuZcBgxf7-c3RuCOtdkAxOqhmAMQxF3oK15V04Cn1zqdnLrdyqLQg6dVpa-nQahc14LTzt25er6noZn0C/s1600/Magnetic+Dual+Mount+Phone+Holder.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi39rTAcmhbzz4qR_s0F-uZp-ovZ9v1xttdTXm79lSqJdGLm05A54tQWPotlacGuZcBgxf7-c3RuCOtdkAxOqhmAMQxF3oK15V04Cn1zqdnLrdyqLQg6dVpa-nQahc14LTzt25er6noZn0C/s1600/Magnetic+Dual+Mount+Phone+Holder.JPG" data-original-width="685" data-original-height="851" /></a></div>
<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/2T23jH0">Gold 'A' Necklace</a>: this dainty little initial necklace originally caught my eye because I love to layer necklaces and I thought this would be the perfect piece to add to any group of necklaces since it is so dainty. It adds a personalized little touch and everyone loves a gift like that. It's on sale for under $10, and I may or may not have gotten one for myself too. ;) <br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIvYhqRi8dO1m1ftTYZ08zw6iVePgIpdtav7UbGFBFNV2atN3ZlLo8FNGELVaLOYig-8sfFLlhNckMPL5QYyhKM1tsNgNbHU0rZhiz5fuT7IJ-vh8Z2TCEiA-cKAEkVFEmDGpNMZNkvtMx/s1600/Gold+%2527A%2527+Necklace.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIvYhqRi8dO1m1ftTYZ08zw6iVePgIpdtav7UbGFBFNV2atN3ZlLo8FNGELVaLOYig-8sfFLlhNckMPL5QYyhKM1tsNgNbHU0rZhiz5fuT7IJ-vh8Z2TCEiA-cKAEkVFEmDGpNMZNkvtMx/s1600/Gold+%2527A%2527+Necklace.JPG" data-original-width="685" data-original-height="457" /></a></div>
<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/2CnAjE2">Pink & White Blanket Scarf</a>: everyone loves a cozy gift, like a scarf, but these oversized and beautifully patterned/colored scarves are always a great option if you have to get creative with a gift for someone you may not know as well (like the significant other of a sibling, for example!) pairing a cozy scarf with a beautiful scented candle is a GREAT gift. This pink and white color combo is classic and it's sooo soft! It's on sale for $16, and right now you can use code <b>USAVEMORE</b> to get it for $13! P.S., it'll still come in time for Christmas! <br>
<br>

<br>
<a href="http://bit.ly/2CnLNYe">Cuddl Duds Throw Blanket</a>: I had to show major restraint walking through the blanket and home decor section while shopping at Kohl's - I have a serious obsession with throw blankets. Every time I walk into a store that has them, I can hardly resist buying a new one which has resulted into me devoting almost an ENTIRE closet in my house to throw blankets. Yeah, I'm addicted! ;) This is by far one of the softest throws I've ever laid my hands on - it's sooo cozy and there's an incredible variety of color options. I cannot get over what a large selection Kohl's has! This throw retails for $49 and is currently on sale for $29 - use code <b>USAVEMORE</b> to get it for $25! <br>
<br>

And on the topic of gift giving and gift wrapping, I always mention around the holidays that I always look forward to picking out wrapping paper - it's the little things right?! ;) And I love wrapping gifts - I found all of my wrapping paper at Home Goods this year and I L O V E it. It matches my gold/pink tree perfectly! And like I said, it's the little things! <br>

Who else is still doing last minute holiday-related things? I know we can all fall victim to stress this time of year, but it really is incredible what taking the time to enjoy such a special season can do for you. No more stressing and that includes about gift giving! Head to your local Kohl's (or order online while they still are guaranteeing Christmas delivery!) to shop and save - I'm still in awe that I got all of these gifts for just under $100 total! Such great deals on awesome gifts for everyone on your list.

Christmas is in LITERALLY about a week. What even?! I'm still shopping and trying to get everything ready, all while trying to take it slow and enjoy the season. Let's just say doing both - and doing both well - is NOT easy. This is the busiest time of year for all of us; being able to enjoy it while also prepping to have everything ready for yourself, for entertaining your friends and family, and for getting all of your shopping and work done in time before the holiday is quite the multi-task to take on, but these holiday prep hacks have helped me (especially lately!) and I think they'll help you, too.
</center>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><h3>
Beauty & Self Care: </h3>
<br />
- Make the time to take your makeup off and do your skincare routine EVERY night; even when you're exhausted, have a million things to do and want to get to bed. Your skin will thank you, especially if you're stressing! <br />
<br />
<b><i>RELATED</i></b>: <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2018/12/holiday-gift-guide-best-gifts-for.html">Best Gifts for the Beauty Buff</a> <br />
<br />
- Use a yellow based concealer to make your eye shadow last all night long at your holiday parties and keep looking glam until after the party is over! This <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/W0Fs">MAC Concealer Palette</a> is my go-to and works better than any eye shadow primer I've ever tried. <br />
<br />
- Take a probiotic daily, if you don't already. No better time to start! It'll help you in more ways than you know SO quickly. <br />
<br />
- Get yourself an <a href="https://amzn.to/2Bpepi5">insulated travel tumbler</a> and fill it with water - take it where ever you go, and re-fill it the second it's empty. If it's filled and cold, you'll likely drink more water, and this time of year it's especially important to stay hydrated when the go-go-go never stops! <br />
<br />
- Give yourself a cut-off time each day. I know it's hard to do between having deadlines to meet and a mile long to-do list, but give yourself the time to disconnect and really enjoy the holiday season. It's way easier said than done and sounds pretty obvious, but it's amazing what it can do for your mindset during this time of year. <br />
<br />
- Pay it forward! I love to do this but there's something extra special and meaningful about it this time of year that makes you feel SO good. Pay for the person behind you's coffee, groceries, or even go to a store like Target or Walmart and check out what you can do when it comes to helping others with their layaways. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Cleaning: </h3>
<br />
- Use Magic Erasers for EVERYTHING. They'll work on way more than you'd expect, and get a shining clean finish in no time. In the bathrooms, kitchen, scuff marks - you name it, they'll clean it. <br />
<br />
- Have comfortable, go-to outfits ready to go for cleaning days and busy days with other holiday prep. <br />
<br />

I always go for my adidas athleisurewear when I have a day of cleaning ahead of me, or when I'm running errands or need to get things done. I'm the kinda girl whose all about comfort, but with adidas' picks (especially right now - they have some seriously adorable finds!) you can look your cutest at the same time. Athleisure is a lifestyle, right?! ;) These <a href="https://www.adidas.com/us/superstar-shoes/C77153.html?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=dailydoseofdesign&utm_campaign=newyearsresolution" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Superstar sneakers</a> are the best, they're so sporty but cute and match everything! I wear them with athleisure, jeans with a cute sweater and all year round. And this time of year when it's cold and layers are required, I LIVE in the <a href="https://www.adidas.com/us/id-stadium-hoodie/CZ2936.html?utm_source=blog&utm_medium=dailydoseofdesign&utm_campaign=newyearsresolution" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">adidas Stadium Hoodies</a>. They're the warmest zip-ups and come in so many colors! <br />
<br />
<b><i>RELATED</i></b>: <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2018/11/finding-perfect-holiday-gifts-for.html">The Perfect Gifts for the Fitness Lover on Your List</a> <br />
<br />
- Always have a candle burning - make it really smell like the holidays! <a href="https://amzn.to/2QX8rP3">These</a> Frasier Fir votive candles smell just like a Christmas tree and are perfect to place around your table/home. <br />
<br />
- Wash your guest bathroom towels (and yours, too while you're at it!) with about 1/4 cup of vinegar to REALLY freshen them up. <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Entertaining: </h3>
<br />
- When everyone asks what to bring, say their favorite wine/beer/liquor - it'll stock your bar up and everyone will have the drink(s) they want the most, and you won't have to worry about buying everyone's favorite. <br />
<br />
- Put together your dinner table in advance. Need some inspo? Here's my <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2018/12/traditional-glam-christmas-tablescape.html">Christmas Tablescape</a> this year - I went with a Traditional-Glam look and I LOVE everything about it! All of the pieces you need to re-create it are on major sale right now too, check it out! <br />
<br />
- Use the Crock Pot/Instant Pot to your advantage! If you have one, now's the time to use it. The amount of time saved = being able to multitask effectively without losing your mind! <br />
<br />
- Stock up on cooking and baking essentials (so you aren't running out to the store at the last minute) - butter, oil, chocolate chips; you know, the essentials that almost ALL holiday recipes have in them! ;) <br />
<br />
- Buy plastic utensils! This <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/W0HV">set of gold utensils</a> is incredible - the price is perfect, and you'd NEVER guess that they're plastic/disposable by looking at them or even by touching them. Cheaper, less work for you, and just makes so much sense. <br />
<br />
- Make a holiday music playlist and get your Bluetooth speaker (need one in a hurry? <a href="https://amzn.to/2GvaLsS">This is my favorite Bluetooth speaker</a>!) out and ready to go. Add lots of songs that everyone will love and play it as background noise. Everyone will love it! <br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
Holiday Shopping: </h3>
<br />
- Buy and keep a couple of gift cards on hand - Dunkin', Starbucks, Visa cards, iTunes; just in case you have a party you forget about, an unexpected gift exchange, or anything else that may come up during the season. <br />
<br />
- Stock up on wrapping paper! I just was at Home Goods buying tons of wrapping paper, tissue paper, assorted sized gift bags, ribbon, etc. You won't run out, and extras will still be good to use next season. <br />
<br />
<b><i>RELATED</i></b>: <a href="http://www.daily-doseofdesign.com/2016/11/7-last-minute-holiday-things-to-get.html">7 Last Minute Holiday Things to Get at Home Goods</a> <br />
<br />
- Wrap a couple of gifts each day. Coming from someone who, most years, leaves ALL of her wrapping to Christmas Eve around midnight (rolling my eyes big time, but it's true lol!), wrap gifts as they come in or as you buy them. Don't get backed up! <br />
<br />
- Utilize <a href="https://amzn.to/2LkIOCI">Amazon</a> for last minute gifts - obvious but a must! <br />
<br />
- Use EBATES. Seriously, it's the easiest way to save money while doing your holiday shopping. <a href="https://www.ebates.com/r/ADRIAN16506?eeid=28187">Sign up and get an automatic $10</a>! <br />

<br />
<br />
<h3>
Travel: </h3>
<br />
- Print your boarding pass(es) ahead of time and have them accessible and ready to go - no time for rummaging through your bag looking for it when the airport is busy and moving nonstop! <br />
<br />
- Keep a portable charger with you - delays and long lines can be inevitable, so stay charged with a <a href="https://amzn.to/2QVKHeq">portable charger</a>.<br />
<br />
- <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/W0Ja">PACKING CUBES</a>. If you're traveling for the holidays, this is even more important than it always is (and trust me, they're HUGE when it comes to packing!) because you likely have lots of holiday outfits for different events/parties/days, and staying organized and under the weight limit ain't easy. <br />

<br />
- Always carry an <a href="https://amzn.to/2BmHpXG">insulated water bottle</a> with you. Of course, you'll have to have it empty until after security, but then you can buy a bottle of water and fill your tumbler up, and have cold water for your entire travel day! <br />

<br>
1. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQc1">Drybar Blowout Kit</a>: this kit comes with every Drybar accessory you need, including hair clips and hair brush. <br>
<br>
2. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQd4">Jo Malone Discovery Set</a>: I LOVE to gift discovery sets because then they can pick and choose which is their favorite before buying a full sized bottle of any scent. <br>
<br>
3. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQec">Drunk Elephant Skincare Essentials</a>: for $75, you're getting a LOT of really awesome products. Any time you spot a Drunk Elephant gift set of any kind, my suggestion would be to buy it! ;) If you're familiar with the brand, you know how awesome their products work on your skin. Anyone would love to receive this set! <br>
<br>
4. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQei">Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Gift Set</a>: I fell in love with this scent almost two years ago and then my sister found it and came over and took my roller ball version because she loved it too! Hah! This set is a great value - it comes with four different pieces and seriously I'm a sucker for a gorgeous gift box and look at this one! <br>
<br>
5. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQdu">Fresh Face Mask Set</a>: these face masks are the real deal! The set comes with four different masks by Fresh and there's no picking favorites here, they're all so good! This set is on sale right now so act fast! <br>
<br>
6. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQfd">Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo</a>: I began using the Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip cleanser about two months ago and loved how it made my skin feel so I decided to splurge on the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQeA">Good Genes Lactic Acid</a> serum and now, I want to gift it all. I love it and I know every other girl who loves great skincare products will too! <br>
<br>
7. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQeC">Peter Thomas Roth Mask Set</a>: these are another set of amazing face masks that in my opinion, everyone needs to try. They come in larger tubs but again, this is a GREAT way to figure out which one you like best and which works best for your skin. They're all amazing, but you can't go wrong with a set like this for $25! <br>
<br>
8. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQft">First Aid Beauty Skin Summit</a>: at just under $50, this set is an amazing deal! It's a $112 value and comes with 5 of the very best First Aid Beauty products that help with hydration - something we could all use this season! <br>
<br>
9. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQfB">Stila Liquid Eye Shadow Set</a>: for the girl who loves to do her makeup and loves eye shadow, these shimmery eye shadows are a must have! <br>
<br>
10. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQeL">Too Faced Eye Palette Set</a>: ok, RUN to get this because I can't believe something this good of a deal is still available! For $49, you get three palettes plus a mascara. The palettes are seriously beautiful too! <br>

<br>
1. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQwQ">Natasha Denona Eye Shadow Palette</a>: this is kind of a crazy price to spend on an eye shadow palette, but once I saw the colors and pigmentation in person I was floored. It's SERIOUSLY beautiful! <br>

<br>
6. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQxP">Tiffany & Co. Pefume Set</a>: I'm not normally a huge perfume person, and walking through the perfume department in stores ends with me having a massive headache... So when I wear perfume, it has to be a very little bit and a scent that isn't overpowering; this is EXACTLY that scent. It's on my wishlist - wait until you smell how beautiful it is! <br>
<br>
7. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WQyV">Foreo UFO</a>: I hadn't heard of this until recently and now I'm convinced that I need one and we all need one, lol!

Kind of really cool! <br>

20. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WI1e">Cozy Travel Shall</a>: this is made by Barefoot Dreams, so you know how soft it'll be! It comes in a bunch of colors and it's a great option to have in your carry-on bag if it gets too cold in the airplane cabin. <br>
<br>

24. <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/WI3e">Gold Packing Cubes</a>: these are a must have for everyone who travels! Packing can be really difficult - making sure you have what you need, not over-packing and staying within the 50lb weight limit... These cubes organize everything you pack and are a travel essential. <br>
