Hey guys, so welcome to my first actual post! This is something I want to do every Sunday as a way to kind of reflect on the week and let you guys in on some awesome products, ideas, music, people, or anything else that I have loved or that has inspired me in some way this week. So this week was my last week home before I have to go back to college tomorrow so it was filled with a lot of shopping, saying goodbye, and packing everything up. So a lot of my favorites have to do with things that have helped me make my move back to school easier.
1)
In store pick up- So many stores now are offering free in-store pickup for online orders. This is so great for when you are moving to college, I was able to buy everything I need for my dorm without worrying about how I was going to fit it all in the car for the drive up. I have everything arranged to be picked up at the target next to my campus on move in day. It was so easy to do and I got to avoid the crowds of everyone picking up the last minute items they forgot.
2)
The Friend Zone podcast- This podcast has been going on for several years, but came across it this week and have been listening to it almost nonstop. They talk about all things mental health yet still have a very fun upbeat mood to the podcast. Each episode is over two hours long so it can definitely last you a while. The episode I'm listening to right now is Caption This and I'm really enjoying the things they are talking about including A and B personalities, companies that "give back", and social media. Here is the link if you want to check it out,

3)
L'Occitane perfecting mattifying fluid- I found this product a few weeks ago but I am just realizing how amazing it is. I struggle with pretty oily skin which then leads to acne, especially during the summer time. I put this stuff on every morning and has made my oil problem disappear. I forgot to bring it last weekend when I went on a weekend trip with my friends and even though the rest of my skin care routine was the same, my acne started getting worse again. When I got home I started using it daily again and my acne cleared right up. It smells amazing and is so easy to apply. It is a little on the pricier side but so worth it, you can buy it

4)
Beauty Counter glow shimmer oil- I live on Long Island so I went out to Montauk for a long weekend last weekend. We had a great time on the beach but on Saturday it was raining so of course we went shopping. I found
this shimmer oil on our shopping trip, and wow it is amazing. I'm very pale, even in the summer and it made me feel tan and sparkly and I got so many compliments on my skin that weekend. You have such a nice summer glow with this on and I think it will be amazing to use in the fall for going out and to keep your tan feeling alive.
Those are all my favorites from this week, I plan on doing about 3-5 a week, but some weeks it might be a little more. Thank you for reading, see you next week!
1) Candles or wall plugs- Candles are a great way to make your room feel more cozy and since often the air in dorms is recycled air so sometimes it doesn't smell that great so candles are cute and relaxing. Yet most dorms don't allow candles so wall plugs are a safe way to achieve the same thing. Target has a great selection of both wall plugs and candles. My favorite candle from Target right now is this tulip candle, but all the Signature Soy candles have amazing scents, cute packaging, and are all ten or five dollars.
3) Frames- Putting your pictures, posters, and prints in frames can make your room look so much more put together. I bought these fun watercolor flower prints on amazon for only $15 for the pack of three. I found the frames in a pack of six on amazon for $30 and they are pretty great quality. They are easy to hang up with either command strips or push pins, make sure to check what your dorm allows.
