1. Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream - $18 | Ulta Beauty
Absolutely love this product! It's so hydrating and helps me look a little less tired in the mornings. I apply it right before I go to bed. Also worth mentioning, the first time I used this I felt like it was a bit oily for my skin type because I have oily combination skin. I was scared that it was going to break me out, but surprisingly I didn't have any problems with it. However, if you're not a fan of feeling greasy/oily, I don't think you'd like this one.
I have an oily combination skin type but during the winter months, my skin tends to get dry. This helps to combat that dryness and keeps me hydrated throughout the day.
I've taken a liking to this lipstick because I've never owned a color like this one. On my skin tone, it appears scarlet-red with a brown undertone. The name suits it really well because Marrakesh is a city in Morocco and this lipstick definitely gives off Moroccan vibes whenever I'm wearing it. It pairs well with peachy blushes.
4. Starbucks' Iced Blonde Caffè Latte
I've only recently discovered this drink a couple of weeks ago. I really like how it's tastes a little lighter than other lattes I've tried. It kind of has this dark chocolate-like taste. My go-to drink previously was an Iced Caramel Macchiato, but I've found that it has started to taste way too sweet for my liking. I ordered this one just to try and change things up a bit one day and it turned out to be the best decision at the time.
5. Bose Companion 20 Multimedia Speaker System - $249.50 | BOSE
I've had these speakers for a while now, but never had the interest to put them on my actual desk because my laptop at the time took a lot surface area in my work space. But now that my laptop's size is a little more forgiving, they're now situated on my desk. Just started using them again a few days ago, and I've completely fallen head-over-heels again. I often use them for movie watching.
Absolutely love these headphones! They're so convenient because they're bluetooth-enabled. I can just walk around the house without having to carry my devices with me all the time. The battery is also pretty long lasting. It claims to have 15 hours of playtime with a fully-charged battery but I've found mine lasting for more than that. The longest I've had it last for me is around five days without charging it, and that's with constant use throughout the day. I've also found that it sounds miles better than the Bose QuietComfort 35 Wireless Headphones II. The only thing about those are that they last a lot longer in terms of playtime and the wireless range radius goes a little further than the SoundLink's. But honestly, I feel like a larger range isn't necessary, for me at least. It's not like I'm going to step out miles away from my sound source just to listen to music, you feel me?
7. Fitbit Charge 2 - $119.95 | Fitbit
God, this thing has saved so many times when I'm trying to wake up early in the morning for clinical. Hear me out, I've got three alarms going on whenever school is in season. I've got an actual digital alarm clock, my phone's alarm, and my Fitbit alarms. I have a habit of turning off my alarms when they ring instead of putting them on snooze, so I'm always scared of oversleeping. I like this thing because it actually forces me to wake up with the continuous vibrations on my arm. My arm would just constantly vibrate until I'm fully awake.
8. Music: I've recently discovered Kehlani, and I'm completely IN LOVE. She gives me JoJo vibes and her music is just badass. My recent favorites from her are: "Personal" and "Honey". I've also came about listening to DPR Live/Dream Perfect Regime thanks to some of my friends. From what I've seen, I believe he's a Korean rapper, but most of his music contains a lot of English and his songs sound very westernized. Christian Yu, the cinematographer/their label-founder who works on their music videos is also extremely talented. Their music video visuals is literally a masterpiece. Recently loved listening to "Martini Blue" and "Know Me (feat. DEAN)."
Hope you found this interesting enough to look into any of these things. And if you have any recommendations for me to try out, don't be afraid to comment them below as well!
