I am always grateful when a girl is willing to share her secret after being asked, “Where did you get that?!” Who doesn’t want to go to a website or store knowing for a fact that you’re going to buy something you definitely love because you’ve already seen it on, or used by, someone else? It’s the best! I thought it would be fun to share a personal list of 10 Pretty Things I Don’t Want to Live Without and the reasons why I love them!

It smells as good as it sounds! My husband is addicted to this perfume and comments on it every single time I wear it. I don’t typically choose sweeter smells for myself, but I have been shocked by the continual compliments that I have received when I wear it. I literally always hear, “Who smells so good?!” when we walk into a room. It will basically make you smell like freshly spun cotton candy but it’s not overwhelmingly strong and, unlike some other sweet perfumes, it doesn’t make you feel like a little girl wearing old-school Lip Smacker. It’s the perfect combination of ‘sweet’ and ‘adult’.
3. Genuine + Ginger Cuff Bracelets
These are by far my favorite bracelets! One of the best parts about this company is that they allow you to customize your bracelet to say whatever your sweet little heart desires. And it’s super affordable! I love words, but even more so when those words can be translated into things that I own, giving them meaning. Add a verse, initials or your most-commonly-used-phrase and choose from gold, silver or copper – or my personal favorite – stack all three. These cuffs are a super pretty and easy accessory for your every-day outfit and also great as gifts. I gave two to my best friend for her birthday and I also gave one to the winner of my first giveaway! Keep an eye out for more in the future!
If you need any eyebrow help what-so-ever, this Brow Wiz is a lifesaver! Before I discovered this magic pencil, I tried using MAC eyeshadow to fill in my brows and it just didn’t work with me. It now takes me about one minute to make my brows exactly how I want them!
My eyebrows are a Medium Brown, but I purchase the Taupe because it’s much easier to darken the color than to lighten it. The attached brush is one of the best I’ve ever used and the pencil is fool-proof and easy to wipe off.
Use this to fill in or tame your brows and they’re destined to be on-fleek every time. It’s absolutely worth every penny!
1. It’s heaven sent
2: I have used a lot of different dry shampoos that either leave my hair greasy, smelling weird or looking like I dumped a bucket of baby powder on my head. Batiste is definitely not any of those things.
Who has time to wash, blow-dry, straighten or curl your hair every single day? This stuff is a necessity for anyone who has a life (and for anyone who doesn’t want to destroy their hair by washing and putting heat on it every day!) The Batiste dry shampoos that I use (Original, Blush or Light & Blonde) are perfect because they refresh my hair and substantially lighten my roots without making them overly-white. Batiste also offers the Divine Dark for darker shades of hair!
If I’m honest, I almost didn’t want to share this little secret of mine! Sometimes it’s nice having something of our own that makes our wardrobe unique – but Urban Outfitters got ahold of them and has started to sell them in their stores – so my “secret” is already out (and probably has been for longer than I even know!) So now it’s time to share with you all because I love you! These sunglasses are the best. Quay is always adding new styles to fit any face shape and they’re just so fun! I have linked my three favorites that they currently have up on their website, quayaustralia.com.
These necklaces take an insane amount of talent! I have yet to find one that I don’t absolutely love. The combination of various wood styles melded together with brass creates a super pretty statement piece. They are then matched with a cord that accents the finished pendant. Look at all of the colors! My personal style has been transitioning lately from bulky, statement necklaces to dainty, unique pieces just like these. I love the contrast of the colors on top of a casual tank, a pretty blouse with jeans or a shift dress with booties. The blush pink is currently my favorite! It is very likely that you will be stopped in your tracks by people and asked, “Where did you get that?!”
8. Be Still Clothing Company Tee
I already own two t-shirts from this company and plan to fill up my wardrobe with a lot more! Be Still is a faith-based company with cute and clever designs on their shirts with phrases like, “Stressed, Blessed and Coffee Obsessed” and “Grace and Coffee Because Adulting is Hard.” One of my favorites is a, “Jesus Loves This Hot Mess” tank – because that couldn’t be more true! 😉 There really is something for everyone and the heart behind the company (along with the customer service) couldn’t be more inspiring!
The Be Still website says, “Be Still Clothing Company was started…as a means to bring hope to the hopeless, strength to the weak, and comfort to those in pain. Exodus 14:14 says “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to BE STILL,” and Psalm 46:10 says “BE STILL and know that I am God.” These verses have been a source of strength to so many in their time of need. Be Still Clothing Company wants to share this truth with others through our clothing in a fashionable and comfortable way.” Amen to that!
