My Essentials
hi sweeties ! i hope you are having a fab day :-)) today i am going to share with y'all some of my fav things that help me get through the day !
1. coffee. sometimes coffee is the only reason why i can get through my day. get your fav kind of creamer & fav kind of coffee & feel the worries drifting away with every sip.
2. dry shampoo. Lord knows i can't survive w/o my dry shampoo. my hair is extremely oily so i can't wash it everyday or else it will produce even more oil. so dry shampoo is my go to. i use it all the time. my fav is Dove dry shampoo, it smells good & it works !
3. music. i am constantly listening to music & singing my heart out. God has given me a voice & i use it. all the time. i have the weirdest taste in music, it is anywhere from 90s love songs to groovy instrumental rainy day songs. whatever your taste, find a song that fits your mood & dance or cry while yelling those lyrics in the car. you get it honey. i am currently obsessed with the new One Direction album, Made In The A.M. & Room To Grow by Rogers. the Rogers family are good friends of mine & their new album is so annointed & so so great ! both albums are availiable on Spotify & iTunes, check them out y'all.
4. sunscreen. every time i put makeup on i put on a tinted sunscreen underneath my foundation. sunscreen is definitely something you should look at adding to your makeup rountine. it protects your skin, it helps prime your skin for foundation, & it nourishes your skin to keep your pretty little face nice & healthy. my fav is the Maybelline BB Cream sunscreen.
5. water. buy yourself a cute waterbottle that fits in your cup holder & drink water. your body needs water & if you don't have enough of it, it can give you headaches & make you dehydrated. i have a matte black tumbler cup from Starbucks that i adore. i take it with me everywhere & i get compliments on it all the time ! give your body what it needs while rockin that super cute cup :-)
6. lotion. i keep like 3 different travel size lotions in my purse at all times lol. you never know when you'll need it. like one time i forgot to put deodorant on (super gross & really unfortunate) & so i pulled out my handy dandy lotion & put some of it on my armpits. i didn't really have much to work with so give me a break y'all. anyway, whether you've got some ashy elbows & knees or you forgot your deodorant, lotion is the perfect solution. my fav is the Eos strawberry lotion.
7. chapstick. along with my lotion, i also have numerous kinds of chapstick in my purse. when your lips are chapped or you just need a little somethin for ya lips chapstick'll do the trick. my fav is the Eos egg or anything Blistex.
8. fuzzy socks. i am a cold natured person. my feet are always cold so my stock on fuzzy socks is astronomical. my fav are from Victoria's Secret, they have little grippys on the bottom & they're super warm bc they're double layered *heart eyes emoji*
9. bobby pins. i always have at least 4 or 5 bobby pins in my purse. you never know when you'll need to put your hair back or you have some whispies you want to tie down.
10. cardigans. i have so many little sweaters. those are perfect for when you want to get a little barrier between you & the cold or when you want to dress up an outfit a little. you can pretty much put a cardigan with anything & its cute. get yoself a cardigan homegirl.
11. medicine. okay, i know your like medicine wait what? yes, i carry a pill bottle in my purse with a variety of over the counter pain meds. when you dance as much as i do sometimes your body isn't super happy. & there is nothing worse than cramping & no one has anything you can take to make those wretched things go away !! i always have stuff, so if you need it, i got it lol.
12. blanket. i always keep a blanket in the backseat of my car for those days when the weather decides to be cold & your car isn't warm yet. i may look stupid driving w an angry birds blanket on me while driving, but who's the real winner here bc i'm not cold, but you are, sooo???
13. scrunchies. i have at least 6 of those glorious things. they're super great bc they don't crease your hair & they spice up your everyday pony.
14. black nail polish. i love anything the color black & nail color is no exception. i always have black nail polish on, except during competition season. i even have a bottle of it in my purse, lol don't judge. when my nails are on fleek it makes me feel like i can do anything. paint your nails your fav color & werk it girl.
15. Chacos. the love of my life. if it wasn't winter i would be wearing my Chacos everywhere. another reason why Summer is my fav season. they're so comfy & you can do ANYTHING in them ! they are expensive, but they are worth every penny. ugh ! Winter hurry up so i can have Summer already !
