On Fall-ing, Hard

With Autumn in full swing + September coming to a close, I felt like it was the perfect time to share my September must-haves with you. Read more below for a list of 5 things I am absolutely loving this month– from skin care to essentials for running my business. Now guess what the best part is!? They're all online + at your finger tips because you can find all of my September Favorites on Amazon!

MakeUp + Self Care

No Shenanigans, All Business

When I have a zoom meeting with a client, my go to Mascara has recently been the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara*. Let's get into the why…It’s one of the few, affordable choices that doesn't drag my eyelashes down. I need something that will make me look like I tried with my makeup + will stay on all day because I am a working woman––we don't have time for all that reapplication shenanigans.

Be a Self Care Rebel with me

My secret weapon for transitioning into fall has been the Sephora Collection Lip Scrub* I’ve been loving the peppermint lip scrub! I feel like my lips get so dry during seasonal transitions so this has been a life saver. You can use it as a lip scrub, but I’m such a rebel that I’ve been using it as a chapstick (crazy, I know!)

Don't Go to the Spa, Let it Come to YOU

When all of my meetings wrap up + I need a refresh. After a long day, I want a spa at home vibe– candles, face masks, + a drink in my hand. What I don't want is to feel like I'm running said "spa" so I found these two treats for making unwinding after work quick + easy.

The Aztec Clay Mask* is perfect for refreshing your skin after a long, stressful day because it works as hard as you do to deep clean your pores. Now for an even quicker fix, I'd recommend the FaceTory Sheet Mask Collection* because it's a grab + go situation made easy by individually packaged sheet masks just waiting for you to get home or, thanks to Miss Rona, to get offline for self care night.

Organization

Decorate the Sh*t Out of It + Get Organized––it's a win, win

If all you want to do is flip your house upside-down to find what you need, then this one goes out to you. I'll be honest, this *literally* happened to me today + it made me want to scream so recently I've found myself writing things down in my notebooks so I don't miss a beat in my personal + professional life. YES…I said notebooks *plural* ! I have a personal notebook for random to-do lists, grocery lists, + other ideas sitting on my nightstand. I have second notebook for all things related to running my business + a third notebook for client sketches, ideas, + lists.

I recently released some cool patterns on Redbubble + I ordered a notebook with my Fall Floral pattern on it. Affordable. Cute. Easily Transportable. I’m obsessed! Go check them out here. I’d love if you supported my designs xx

For a second, Amazon friendly choice, I found the perfect sized notebook* that is just waiting to be personalized. If you're anything like me, then you know how good it feels to get a new notebook + decorate the sh*t out of it. I highly recommend buying the 2-pack I linked because they're a great size, minimalist, + so CHEAP––they're almost paying you to buy them THAT'S how affordable they are.

Clothes

Pockets...Leggings with POCKETS *enough said, i know*

But now that I have your attention let me share my little secret. This is for my people that love a good comfy pair of leggings, but don't want to break the bank. The IUGA High Waisted Leggings* are by far my favorite leggings EVER––yes, I understand how serious that statement is. These leggings are so affordable it makes you want to laugh when you see how much Lulu Lemons cost (no offense Lulu, I love you girl, but my wallet not so much...). You could buy like 6 pairs of these for the price of one pair of name brand leggings. These Amazon leggings come in 27 different colors, are good quality, + can be delivered– so basically everything you could ever ask for. You're welcome in advance ;)
