Autumn Book Haul - 2023

 Hello, everyone! How was your holiday season? We did a ton of holiday baking and festivities this year seeing as it's going to be our last Christmas as a family of 3! I'm due on June 3rd with another boy! We're so excited to finally be a family of 4. :)

On to the books! Here's everything I picked up this season.

Taste of Home Healthy Cooking Annual Recipes

A friend of mine let me go through a bunch of cookbooks to keep and these 3 are what I picked out.

A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas

I took advantage of Target's buy 2 get 1 free book event and purchased the first 3 in this series. My husband bought me the last 2 for Christmas.

That's everything I got for this season! Thank you for stopping by, and I hope you have a safe and fun New Year's!

 

Autumn Empties & Review - 2023

 Hello, everybody! How was your weekend?

I haven't had time to post much lately because we've been quite busy these days. I'm hoping after the holidays are over I'll have some more free time to post regularly again. So anyway, here's everything I used up over the last few months!

Verb Ghost Shampoo & Conditioner

*My husband threw away the conditioner bottle before I had a chance to get a photo.* I really like this shampoo and conditioner. I've purchased it before and I'll likely purchase it again soon after I finish what I'm currently using. The scent is nice, and it makes my hair look shiny and feel strong. I've read a lot of reviews saying this set made their hair fall out more, but I haven't had that issue.

Killian Love, Don't Be Shy

 

I received this for free from either Influenster or BzzAgent for review (it's been a while so I can't remember which one!) This scent is very strong, but I received a lot of compliments when I wore it. It is a warm. floral scent with vanilla. I liked it a lot, but it's very pricey.

Ouai Melrose Place

This is a beautiful fresh, floral scent. It's very long lasting without being overpowering.

Bath & Body Works Bahamas Hand Cream

This smells like summer vacation! Too bad it does absolutely nothing for my dry hands.

Maskiss 24K Gold Eye Mask

This was given to me and it was nice. I don't know that I would purchase it, but it wasn't bad.

L'Oreal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation

This wasn't my favorite foundation. It wasn't terrible, but I wouldn't repurchase it. It didn't cover up my redness very well and settled into my fine lines.

Bath & Body Works Blackberry and Basil Ultimate Hydration Body Cream

 

This was my first time trying out this scent, and I love it! I really hope B&BW brings it back in the spring because I need more!

Bath & Body Works Blackberry and Basil Shower Gel

 

Same with this! It smells just as good as the lotion.

Bath & Body Works Midnight Amber Glow Hand  Cream

 

This was okay. I don't feel like it did much to keep my hands moisturized, but the scent is good.

Tatcha The Rice Wash

This wasn't bad, but I don't understand all the hype around this line. I don't dislike it, but I also won't go out of my way and repurchase this.

Ole Henriksen Lemonade Smoothing Scrub

This smells sooo nice! I like how my skin feels after using this too.

Ouai Leave In Conditioner

I don't really love the smell of this, but it helps detangle my hair and leaves it feeling very soft.

I also went through a tub of the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream, but my husband threw that away before I could snap a photo of that too. -.-

That's all I used up this time! Thanks for stopping by, and I hope those of you who celebrate have a magical Christmas and a fun and safe New Year!
