FRIDAY FAVORITES + $750 GIVEAWAY!

November 9, 2018 By Kari 10 Comments

Friday Favorites + $750 Giveaway!

I’m finally back with a new Friday Favorites post — hooray! I always really love testing out new products and sharing my absolute favorites with you. Sometimes it takes me a while to pick 5 products that I genuinely want to share with you because I try to be extra picky before I recommend anything to you guys. I can guarantee these are all products I am using and absolutely loving!

So without further ado, here are my 5 Friday Favorites:

1. Native Natural Deodorant

This year I committed to using only natural deodorants, mainly for health reasons, and have tested out a handful that I just wasn’t crazy about. Some of them gave me an odd odor and some of them just didn’t seem to work. I was feeling defeated until I came across Native—and now I’m such an advocate of the brand! Their deodorants are aluminum free, paraben free, contain no talc or phthalates, and are only made with simple and safe ingredients. They smell amazing and actually work (which is the most important part)! Since I was such a fan, I purchased Braden the Men’s Classic Pack and now he’s also hooked. I can’t recommend the brand or product enough. And if you aren’t educated on what aluminum in deodorants can do/cause in your body, research it!

2. Go-To Face Hero Oil

I started incorporating this Face Oil into my morning routine about 3 weeks ago and I’m 100% hooked. It’s a lightweight face oil that deeply hydrates, soothes, revitalizes, and completely protects the skin from environmental factors. It gives me a luminous glow, without being oily, throughout the day and it’s at an affordable price point—$34!

3. Becca Glow Lip Gloss

I’ve been wearing the color “Fox Glove” on a daily basis for about two months now and don’t plan to stop anytime soon. It contains the shine of a lip gloss, the pigment of a liquid lipstick, and nourishing benefits of a lip balm. Plus, it smells divine!

4. Erin Condren Life Planner

This product has been a favorite of mine since I was in college and I actually would ask for one every single year for Christmas! Erin Condren creates and executes the best planners ever. I especially love that you are able to customize everything—the cover, layout, colors, coil, etc.— to make it exactly how you want it. This would be a great Christmas gift for anyone on your list!

5. Large Square Satin Scarves

First off, the price point of these scarves are unbelievable! I own a handful of them and they are such great quality and so versatile. I love adding one to a simple out, whether in my hair or around my neck, for some added flair.

 

I’ve also teamed up with a group of girls to giveaway a $750 Amazon Gift Card!! We thought it would be the perfect way to thank all of you for supporting our blog and social channels. Plus, what could be better right before the holiday season?!

    I really want to try the Native natural deodorant to see how it works on my skin. My last natural deodorant dried out my skin too much. Also, love my Erin Condren planner too!

    xo, Laura
