10 things I can't live without

Today, I am sharing 10 things that I can't live without. These are things I use every single day without fail. If something happens to these items or if I run out of these products, I would repurchase over and over again.
1. Levi's wedgie jeans: See them on me here and here. I bought these jeans last year and I am so obsessed with them. So obsessed that I went and got the second pair. They are super flattering. I got both pairs in a size 25 and they fit amazing. If you're into mom jeans, give them a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. I have the distressed version (for the weekend) and the non-distressed version (for casual Friday).
2. Dyson V11 cordless vacuum: I got this vacuum for Christmas and I can't put it down lol. My husband and I are a bit of a clean freak. Having a clean house is even more important to us now that we have a puppy. This vacuum is small, lightweight but incredibly powerful. It picks up everything and it's been a joy to use.
3. SMEG tea kettle: I am a tea drinker. I drink a cup of green tea before going to bed every single night. My husband got me this tea kettle a few months ago and I am so in love with it. It heats up extremely fast. Not to mention, it looks super cute on my counter top. Eventually, I want to replace all my current small appliances with SMEG appliances
4. My Macbook air: This was another Christmas gift that I've been enjoying so much. This Macbook air is so lightweight and adorable. I didn't think I would need a new laptop but now, I can't image not having it
5. AirPods Pro: Another Apple product that I am obsessed with. I own a few affordable wireless earbuds but nothing beats the Airpods. The biggest issue I have with other versions is that they don't stay on my ears when I run. As soon as I sweat, they would fall off my ears. Not with the AirPods, I ran a half marathon with these in my ears and they stay put the entire time. Definitely worth the $$. I can't imagine running without them now. Noise cancelling is one of the key features of the AirPods Pro and it works amazing!
6. Breville multi- cooker: I have this multi cooker for several years now and I am still obsessed with it. It's a life saver. My husband and I are full-time working parents. This cooker makes my life so much easier when it comes to cooking. Dinner can be ready in 30 minutes or less. Everything always come out perfect and super delicious. This cooker was my Mother's Day gift 3 years ago. I accidentally broke the first one. I couldn't bear not having it in my life so I went and bought another one immediately after. That's how much I love it. If you haven't jumped on the Instant Pot bandwagon yet you are missing out!

7. IT cosmetics CC cream matte with SPF 40: I don't talk about makeup products often on here  just because I am not a beauty junkie. I use the same makeup/skin care products for years. I picked up the IT Cosmetics CC cream (the matte version) a few months ago and I now understand the hype! The coverage is amazing. I have oily skin and this works very well for me (especially in the summer). I will for sure continue to repurchase this.
8. Jo Malone peony & blush suede cologne: This really has become my signature scent, to the point that people in the office noticed. It is a very delicate fragrance and not at all overpowering. It's also amazing layered with other Jo Malone scents. I love the scent so much that I also purchased the candle and the hand/body lotion.
9. Biossance gel moisturizer: This is one of the new skincare products that I picked up last year and I am so impressed. Since it's a gel moisturizer, it's light enough for my oily skin but hydrating enough that makes it feel plump and soft. This is my new skin care go to.
10. Lancome primer & mascara: I use this combination for years and I am still not over it. This primer/mascara combination does wonders for my short lashes. The primer not only conditions and protects your lashes but also keeps your mascara on all day! No flakes, no smudges, no running. I am always looking for the perfect mascara and I finally found it. They are truly magical products!

TGIF! It's been a tough week for us. My Mom had a surgery on Valentine's Day. Thank goodness it went well and she's on the road to recovery. My husband is out of town this week on a business trip. I had to be at a work conference. On top of that, there were school delays and closings. I am so looking forward to doing nothing this weekend. Today, I am sharing a few of my recent favorites

{Velvet touch tights | Luxe ultra nude *available in 5 colors* | Sheer dots | Sheer chevron}

If you ladies have been with me for awhile, you know I am a huge fan of Berkshire hosiery. I've done a few reviews here, here, here and here. Their tights are incredibly well made. I am still wearing the ones that I got almost 2 years ago. Thanks to the Berkshire team for sending over a few styles from their latest collection - The Easy On. These tights feature gentle shaping for a natural, sleek appearance, build-in ventilation with cooling fibers and a comfort waistband for easy on. They feel so nice against the skin. If you're looking for a new favorite pantyhose, give this collection a try. I promise you won't be disappointed.

Sharing some of my current favorites today with you all.

#1 - I am a huge fan of candles in general and would burn them year round. October is when I look forward to getting my favorite candles from Bath & Body Works. You can't go wrong with their scented candles. Three of my absolute favorites are leaves, sweater weather and marshmallow fireside. They make my home smell amazing! What are your favorite scents from B&BW?
#2 - Thanks to the Berkshire team for sending over these fun tights. I've done several reviews on their hosiery in the past (here, here and here). Their products are wonderful. I am still wearing the ones I got from Berkshire years ago. This year I got some fun patterned tights. They'll come in handy for the upcoming holiday seasons. Products pictured: Berkshire sheer diamonds 8013, Berkshire sheer chevron 8025, Berkshire fishnet 8010, Berkshire bold fishnet 8032
#3 - Kiara Sky Dip Powder D429 - A sweet friend of mine is always taking care of my nails whenever she comes over. I am very lucky that I never have to pay anything to get my nails done lol. She's done a few dip powder shades for me but this one is my favorite. The shade is perfect for Fall (deep burgundy with gold fleck). My nails are a week old now and they're still looking great! If you're interested in dip powder nails, you can ask for color D429 the next time you're at a nail salon

Sharing 5 things I am currently loving:

1. Native deodorant: I am interested in making a switch to natural deodorant. However, it's been a challenge to find something that works. I tried Tom's naturally dry deodorant and Jason natural deodorant but they just simply did not work. I sweat so easily. It doesn't matter if I run 1 mile or 10 miles, I look like a sweaty pig at the end of my run. As you might already know, most over the counter deodorants contain some form of aluminum. What aluminum does it basically act as a plug to sweat ducts to prevent sweating. Native deodorant is made without aluminum, parabens, phthalates, and talc. I don't know for a fact that there is a link between aluminum-based deodorants and breast cancer but if I can reduce my risks then why not? I purchased the travel sample pack to try (my favorite scent is the coconut & vanilla - smells absolutely amazing!). The best part? It works! It really does keep me dry all day. Read over 6000 positive reviews here

2. Floral phone case: How pretty is this phone case? It's so perfect for Spring. The best part is that you can personalize it any way you like (up to 20 characters). Mine is for the iPhone X but it's available for all versions. It won't provide much protection from drop damage but it's sure so pretty to look at.

Today, I wanted to share a few of my current favorites. These are things I use and enjoy daily.

1. Dove dry spray antiperspirant: I've been using this products for almost 2 months now and I love it. It's so easy to use and dries super fast (no waiting time to get dressed). The scent smells wonderful and is not overpowering. This product keeps me dry all day. Dove spray does not contain alcohol which I like. Hubby is using the men version and he's a fan as well.

2. Knot earrings from Layered and Simple: If you've been following my blog for awhile then you know I love stud earrings. That's all I wear. Thanks to Lisa from Layered and Simple for sending over this gorgeous pair of knot earrings. They're amazing in person and I can't stop wearing them. Another favorite is the Bon Bon earrings. Layered and Simple carries a large selection of trendy jewelry pieces if you are interested in checking her shop out.
