Gift Guides & my two favorite Amazon beauty finds

I can’t believe it’s already November! This year has been a tumultuous rollercoaster to say the least, however it still feels as though it’s flown by. Either way, I’ve been enjoying the Fall weather here in Maryland along with the falling leaves and all things pumpkin. It’s been a nice distraction and escape from everything else.

The outfit I’m wearing above is my favorite basic, casual Fall look to date. I feel like you can’t go wrong when you combine grey jeans, the perfect chambray shirt and classic brown booties. The jeans and booties were a bit of an investment at the Nordstrom sale this year and totally worth it. The light blue chambray shirt is my favorite to date. The fabric isn’t slinky but not too stiff either. It runs slightly large so I went down to an extra small. You can typically find it on sale and very budget friendly.

A similar pair of grey jeans that are a little more budget friendly are HERE.


Mario Badescu Drying Lotion

This small, tiny bottle of liquid magic is amazing ya’ll!
It helps treat and dry up those pesky pimples I occasionally get on my face due to stress and hormones. The most important thing to remember is DO NOT SHAKE THE BOTTLE. I don’t really know why, but that is the number one rule. The pink liquid that smells like calamine lotion settles at the bottom of the jar while the clear liquid remains on top.
To apply, I take a q-tip, dip it into the jar so the cotton is covered with the pink liquid and then spot treat each blemish.

I typically do this at night after washing my face before bed, however you could do it anytime of the day.


Nioxin Shampoo & Conditioner
is what I am currently using every time I wash my hair. I’ve been dealing with a lot of shedding due to hormonal and stress related issues. I highlight and lowlight my hair and would categorize my hair loss as having progressed thinning. Therefore, I use the number 4 system.

Nioxin System 1 : Natural Hair with Normal to Light Thinning

Nioxin System 2 : Natural (no color) for Progressed Thinning

Nioxin System 3 : Colored Hair with Light Thinning

Nioxin System 4 : Colored Hair with Progressed Thinning

Nioxin System 5 : Chemically Treated Hair with Light Thinning

Nioxin System 6 : Chemically Treated Hair with Progressed Thinning
