Mini Holiday Gift Guide 2020

Thanksgiving is officially over and all the sales have started pouring in.. well before Thanksgiving!

I’m calling this a mini gift guide because I haven’t had time to make a full-on list of ALL the Black Friday sales in between finishing unpacking and organizing our new home in Montana. You’ll also notice it’s mostly all gifts for HER and not a lot for HIM. Next year, I won’t have so much on my plate, and I hope to have a full gift guide prepared next year.

Part of my gift guide includes a few small businesses, two of which are from my home state of Arizona!

New Montana House Tour!

Late blog post! It’s been a crazy past few weeks and we JUST moved into our new house in Montana. So, my fiancé and I have been busy getting settled and getting things organized.

We’re also still in the middle of wedding planning, so we’re definitely keeping busy!

While our home isn’t completely done, we’ve made major progress with unpacking. I’m still working on getting my office set up, and we’re still in the middle of painting certain rooms to make it more our style.

My fiancé painted our laundry room last night and it looks great! Now all that’s left are the brown cabinets.

I also unboxed my Rothy’s Portfolio – get $20 off with my code: https://share.rothys.com/x/dXMiUO

We moved to Montana!

We’ve officially moved! Our move to Great Falls, Montana was postponed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the states hard, but we eventually made it up north!

This move comes as a military move, as my fiance got orders to Great Falls. So, we had movers pack up our things, we stuffed our cars with our precious items, and we each took a corgi and drove off!

We broke the drive into two days, which the first day driving nine hours and the second day driving three and a half hours. I definitely prefer driving as much as I can in one day, so that the next day’s drive will be shorter and easier.

Now, I’m just trying to figure out if I can make it through Montana’s winter in my sports car..

Corgis run my life

I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that my dogs run my life, but I love it! I spoil them and I’m not sorry about it!

If you’re new here, I have two Pembroke Welsh Corgis named Biggie Smalls and Karma.

Biggie is three years old and Karma is one and a half.

This video is all how the corgis run MY world and tell me what to do! From asking to play, to even trying to get fed early, theses corgis aren’t afraid to show you who’s boss.

My Purse Collection

Handbags are items I love to save for and splurge on – I can’t stop!

I love designer handbags from Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Chanel, and more. However, I only actually own a few designer handbags, as they are so expensive!

I get a lot of my non-designer purses from TJMaxx, Ross, or Nordstrom Rack – so I’m not able to link a lot of them! But I will definitely link what I can still find!

Check out my whole purse collection below:

How I prevent maskne (mask acne)

#TeamiPartner

Mask acne hit me really hard when there was a mask mandate for Colorado – I was breaking out like crazy! However, I didn’t take any steps to prevent “maskne” at that time.

When I did start taking prevention steps, I went a little overboard. I had read online that using a benzoyl peroxide gel or cream would be really helpful along the chin and mouth area – it was! I just used too much of it and it dried out the lower half of my face really bad – it looked like I had white scruff!

I’ve learned a lot through trial and error when it comes to maskne, so here’s what I’ve found that works best for me.

*Note: I am NOT a dermatologist and can only speak to my experience. My skin type is oily.

Step 1: Double Cleanse – I have a blog post all about it here.

Step 2: Face Toner – I have a number of different toners ranging from weak to strong. I use one type of toner a day on my face, depending on what I feel my face needs. For example, if I wore my face mask almost all day, I would use the stronger toner.

Step 3: Benzoyl peroxide – I never really use toner and a benzoyl peroxide cream or gel at the same time, so this could sometimes be step 2. I use this about one to two times a week on days when I feel like my skin needs that extra care.

Step 4: The other kind of face mask – I’ve been using the Teami Beauty Mask, Restorative Clay Facial. I’ve never really been consistent with any type of face mask until this one – it’s gentle enough to be used multiple times a week (I’ve been using it almost every other day) and it’s made with natural ingredients and no harsh chemicals. Also, it smells amazing! It makes my skin soft (as expected), but it also gives me a glow. I’ve noticed that having a consistent weekly face mask has definitely helped keep my skin clear.

Step 5: This is the MOST IMPORTANT and the step that has been the most LIFE CHANGING for me: TONER. Yes, it’s another toner, but it’s used on my face mask. I’ve been using the Trader Joe’s face toner (but I’m sure any toner in a spray bottle would work) and I haven’t had a breakout since. I only spray my face mask with toner right before I head to my car.

These are all the steps I take in order to prevent maskne. Let me know if you have any tips you’d like to share as well!
