FRIDAY FAVORITES

September 10, 2021 By Kari 1 Comment

Is anyone else in disbelief that it’s already September? I know we say this every year, but wow—2021 is flying by!

AND since it’s September, it’s basically fall, which means it’s basically Thanksgiving, and then Christmas is *right* around the corner. Then that got me thinking that Christmas shopping will be quickly approaching, so it prompted me to curate another Friday Favorites post. And to be honest, these are my favorite posts to create, so I of course jumped at the idea.

Enough blabbering, let’s go ahead and get started with another round of favorites, shall we?

1. Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set

If you follow me on Instagram, then you’ve undoubtedly heard me talk about Cozy Earth. They offer the most luxurious bamboo products ranging from pajamas to bedding and the quality is unmatched. We recently received the Bamboo Sheet Set and my goodness—it’s sent from the heavens above. They are so soft and buttery, plus, they’re temperature regulating, meaning their moisture-wicking fabric allows you to sleep 2-3 degrees cooler! I love them so much and look forward to crawling into bed each night. And if you don’t want to take my word for it, Oprah described Cozy Earth’s bedding as the ‘softest bedding ever’ in 2018!

They were kind enough to give my followers an exclusive 40% off (!!!) by using code CE-KARI at checkout!

2. ELIMS Magic Melt-Away Whitening Strips

Whitening strips that magically dissolve after 10-15 minutes of wear with a fresh minty flavor! No rinsing, no spitting, no nothing.

Enamel safe and clinically proven to whiten up to 7 shades lighter in 14 days. I always apply a pair before hopping into the shower and it’s quickly become a favorite step in my self-care routine.

3. Kiehl’s Micro-Dose Retinol Serum

A daily retinol serum designed for all skin types — including sensitive!

“A potent retinol serum in a micro-dose that visibly reduces wrinkles, firms skin, evens skin tone, and smoothes texture with minimal discomfort.“

I personally haven’t experienced any discomfort or dryness while using this serum, but I definitely am starting to notice a smoother appearance to my fine lines around my eye area, which I’m very excited about. This is a great product to start with if you are wanting to become more familiar with retinols!

4. Blue Light Glasses

I started consistently wearing my blue light glasses whenever I’m working on my computer or phone and it’s been a game changer. I can instantaneously feel the difference — no more eye strain or irritating headaches. If you’re like me and work in front of a computer all day, I highly recommend trying them out!

5. Boyfriend Tee

A super soft easy throw-on-and-go closet staple.

6. Mugler Alien Goddess Eau De Parfum

A new perfume favorite! Smells so divine and is compliment inducing.

Fragrance Family: Florals
Scent Type: Warm Florals
Key Notes: Bergamot Essence, Jasmine Grandiflorum, Bourbon Vanilla

7. 32 oz. Mason Jars

You know you are from Texas when….

Jk jk, I think Emma Chamberlain turned me onto Mason Jars after seeing her use them for her delicious iced coffees. I opted for the larger 32 oz. glasses to ensure I’m staying hydrated through the day. And I use these abnormally large smoothie straws for my beverages and it really just hits different.

What are a few of your current favorites?
