Friday Five: Random Fall Faves
diffuser + two fave oils
I was totally sucked into the diffuser and oil trend you guys haha - I came across this cute terra cotta colored diffuser on Urban Outfitters site while late night shopping one day.. and that was it. I love the pottery look & feel of it. I will warn you it does look a lot smaller in person than it does in the photos online, but if you read the reviews you might expect that! Not a deal breaker for me; in fact, I actually like that it has a smaller shape to it because you can really place it on any counter top and it just flows with the decor. This oil is one that I have seen all over Instagram & recommended on Amazon so I finally caved on it too haha. It does smell like a hotel, and I find it pretty strong so I only use about 5 drops in my diffuser. If you already have a diffuser, I would check the directions just to see how many drops it typically takes. The diffuser and the oil both said different things, so keep that in mind when you are thinking of how strong you may want it to be.

2. starbucks pumpkin cream cold brew
I mean there isn’t too much to say here except for this is possssiibbllyy the best Starbucks drink ever?! I mean, if you have had it before do you agree with me? I am not typically a huge fan of anything Pumpkin Spice flavored from Starbucks typically because it has a somewhat artificial flavor to it. Maybe because they add like 6 pumps of everything haha! But when they came out with this drink last Fall I was instantly obsessed. To me it tastes like the perfect balance of coffee flavor + sweetness + the creamy foam on top. If you like drinks to be less sweet, ask for half the flavoring. I think they put 2 pumps of vanilla & 2 pumps of pumpkin in the Grande size for reference. 10/10
3. ysl glowing spf foundation + hydrating lipstick
Not letting that Summer glow gooo ha! Love this foundation for a lightweight, but still medium coverage - with added spf too. If you are someone who always forgets to use spf (girl, don’t skip it!) this is a great option for a really subtle and effective foundation. It comes in 12 shades; I actually like to mix two shades together for the perfect in between Summer/Fall shade for my skin right now. BD40 + B30 are my faves! I use the shade 44 in this hydrating oil based lipstick for just a touch of subtle pink glow on my lips. I love it because the more you use it the more it hydrates your lips.

4. gucci gardenia perfume
I shared this on my Instagram this week but it is so true & so wild really - specific scents will always bring me back to different memories and I love it so much. I think this one will sort of be the ‘scent’ of my pregnancy! At 30 weeks pregnant now it sort of makes me emotional to think how quickly this pregnancy is going by. I feel super thankful and grateful for every experience so far. & I love that this smell will forever bring me back to these special memories. The scent itself is gardenia, so it does have subtle floral scents but I love that the base is more masculine and subtle. Perfect for an everyday scent!

5. philosophy shower gel duo fall combo
If you are lookin’ for something really Fall-like to freshen up your shower situation this is IT. I love Philosophy brand because they always have the best scents for each season; this new fall-inspired collection includes two fun new scents. Since it is a multitasking 3-in-1 formula, you can apply to wet body or scalp. It cleanses & conditions skin and hair leaving it feeling soft and smelling sweet! If you want to use in a bubble bath, just drizzle a generous amount under running water!
Apple Cider: a fresh blend of apple blossom, vanilla, and brown sugar.
Cinnamon Chai Latte: blend of cinnamon, caramel, creamy vanilla, and a touch of toasted coconut.
