So I do this post every year and I figured it was time to take a little break from all the blogmas stuff, even though I really am enjoying that.

I try to do this post every season because as much as I love the products I recommend, I love to change things up. I get bored very easily so once I finish something, I'm onto something new. Hence why I'm always sharing new things.



So far this season my skin hasn't been acting up too much...yet. I might owe that to the honey serum I talked about in my November favorites because it really has completely changed my skin. However, my skin is still dry and still has it's moments so I wanted to walk you through my current products and what has been really working for me the past few months.


I've been obsessed with the Hey Honey Serum and I need the full size like yesterday. I talked about this in my November favorite as mentioned above so I won't go into too much detail but it has really changed my skin for the better.

I have a few different oils I use in rotation of each other; the Laura Mercier Rose Oil, the Drunk Elephant Marula Oil, and Josie Maran Argan Oil -- they are all pretty similar and really penetrate the skin for deep hydration and feel incredible on the skin before bed.

Something I recently added to my routine was a Jade Roller. I can't tell if it actually does anything but I really enjoy it. It's like a mini facial massage and perhaps it does get the product you put on your face, deeper into the skin. I just run the roller all over my face in the morning and night (after I apply my skincare) and it's very cooling to the skin. I recommend picking one up from Amazon, it's worth the $8.

I finally got a full size of the Benefit Total Moisture Cream and I forgot how much I loved it. It's super thick and heavy but absorbs right into the skin so your face isn't greasy. It feels so cooling on the face and is just amazing. It's hands down one of the best moisturizers I've ever tried.



I love a good mask, especially an eye mask (I'll do a full post soon on all my mask favorites) and one that I (along with my mom) have really been enjoying are the VII Code Oxygen Eye Masks. They aren't slimy or greasy on the face and I notice a depuffing aspect for sure.

The eye cream that I currently have is the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue but honestly, I have been forgetting to use it. I may have to try a different eye cream soon because I'm not that crazy about this one.

Anyways.... that's it! Those are my favorite skincare products of the moment!

What are yours? Give me suggestions ;)

I really really love alliterations and I always hate just writing "_____ Favorites", so let's call this the Monthly Muse. UGH I love the way that sounds!

Mostly I always write about beauty products because those are the items I always see in monthly roundups and they're the thing I use most during the month. I always try to throw a random non beauty item in there and this month, I have a few. It's definitely a nice change of pace.

This month was wonderful for one reason: my move. I've talked it to death on the blog but I can't help it. It's a huge deal to me. I've shared a room with my sister for 2.5 years, ever since graduating college, and it's been a nightmare. We are polar opposites and it was taking a toll on my sanity, and our relationship. I finally have my own space, that I can decorate as I please and relish in.

I've been so happy pretty much every day since moving because I get to come home to my room. I've always been the type to stay in my room -- my mom used to say that she wouldn't see me for days when I was little because I would just be in my room, content as could be, and entertaining myself. Well, 23 years later and not much has changed.



That brings to me to my favorites:

1. THE MOVE: I love my new house (I still live with my mom and sister) and it's perfect. It's nice and spacious, we all have our own little space, and it just feels like home. There's tons of light and it feels very open and airy. I will post a room tour this week -- the one thing I'm waiting on is my gallery wall and dresser, but I'll address that in the post.

2. iPad Mini: I've definitely mentioned this in my favorites before but I've rediscovered it. That sounds so silly but I go through stages with the things that I enjoy and I decided to remove my iPad from it's case and just hold it as it and I love it so much better. I ordered a sleeve for it, and I just love toting it around with me. I love how tiny it is but how I can actually get stuff done. I'm obsessed!

3. Mercari: I don't think I've ever used an app as much as I've used this. Mercari is a shopping app where you can buy and sell pretty much anything and everything. I've talked about Poshmark in the past but this in my opinion, is better than Poshmark. There are more options for sellers, there's more information needed to sell an item, and the best part? They don't take a commission from your sales. I've purchased a BUNCH of stuff from the app over the past month and I've SOLD even more stuff! Everything I've received is perfect and I haven't had an issue. I know there has been some scandal with this in the past, mostly with fake cosmetics, but if you're a smart buyer, you'll have no issue!

4. Caudalie Beauty Elixir: I was in need of a new refreshing spray and I knew it would be this one. I've been wanting to try it for months so I finally picked it up from Sephora. It has a peppermint scent and feels slightly tingly on the skin. It's perfect for a morning pick me up, or a mid afternoon refresher. I usually use this before my makeup application, as an extra priming step and I just love the way it makes my skin feel.

5. Laura Mercier Baked Bronzer: I received this item in a 500 point perk from Sephora and I'm so glad I did. Laura Mercier is a brand I've been wanting to experiment with for a while and I'm finally getting a feel for her products. This bronzer is the perfect everyday bronzer; it's warm but not orange toned and it doesn't kick up too much product. It distributes the perfect amount of product onto your brush and gives the most gorgeous sunkissed look.

What were your monthly favorites this month?
