We plan on moving next year, so this year I have been really focused on buying pieces that I really like and will look amazing in our new house. Anything that doesn’t seem right or I really didn’t like in the first place is being donated as we replace the items. Along with this, I have been organizing and decluttering every room of our current house. I’ve been getting rid of everything we don’t need and then cleaning and organizing what we have decided to keep. Every time I think I’m done, I end up starting over, section by section. <br />
<br />
Last time I did one of these, I said that I had only just begun to get a sense of my home-style and was excited to start decorating. I have picked up a few new pieces of furniture. We got our bed off the floor and bough a simple modern metal bed frame on Amazon (pictured below, taken from Amazon), if your interested you can find it <a href="https://amzn.to/2Or5nJR">here</a>. <br />

Little baskets and bins have been my lifesaver. I’ve particularly been obsessed with the Ikea Skubb Storage Case (pictured below, taken from Ikea). I bought two of the medium and one small. I love that they just slide under the bed and can’t really be seen. I keep extra linens and seasonal linens in them. You can order them online from Ikea (<a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80300033/">Small</a>, <a href="https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70300038/">Medium</a>) or pick them up in the store. If you don’t have an Ikea near you, they sell them on Amazon (<a href="https://amzn.to/2Iqzr2N">Small</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2QlUOF5">Medium</a>) in a two pack!<br />

Target has been really using their game in the last couple years. I feel like they are trying harder to come out with good quality items that are still trendy. I love their new lines Project 62 and Made By Design, as well as their collaborations Hearth & Hand with Magnolia and Cravings by Chrissy Teigen. <br />
<br />
I love all the brown and yellow tones this year. There are some really great Autumn decor pieces out right now. I love the look of a Eucalyptus wreath, like this one from <a href="https://www.westelm.com/products/mixed-eucalyptus-wreath-w1390/?pkey=cchristmas-wreaths-garland-decor&isx=0.0.1359">West Elm</a> with Stacked Pumpkins outside a front door. This season I am preferring diffusing oils to burning candles. I’m not buying new candles, and lets be honest nothing with replace Bath & Body Works Leaves Candle. Oils such as Orange and Clove are perfect for the Autumn season.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div>
I love finding more and more pieces that not only work where we currently live, but also in the new place. I can picture how everything will look together in our new house and I can’t wait to find new pieces. Shop the items I mentioned and more below!<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Overall, My skin has been drier than normal. I have been getting dry/dehydrated patches on my forehead and around my nose. I have also notice that my eyes have been dryer as well. Concealer isn’t going on as smooth as it used to. I went on the hunt for an eye cream that was strictly for moisturizing. I didn’t want to worry about anti-aging or anything until I fixed the dryness, if it had anti-aging that was a bonus. I also wanted something that was more on the cleaner side, no harsh chemicals and as natural as possible. Natural products are more important to me when it comes to my eye area than any other part of my face.</span></div>

After reading a ton of reviews, I decided to try the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/SKLu">Origins Eye Doctor Moisture Care</a>. I placed an order at Sephora, and eagerly awaited my new eye cream. The Origins Eye Doctor Moisture Care eye cream claims to counter crow’s feet, de-pouf puffs, and fade dark shadows. Formulated with Cucumber, Rosemary, and Ginseng to cool, sooth, and energize around the eyes. It also has Green tea extract to help fight off free radical damage. The Origins Eye Doctor has the Clean at Sephora seal.<br />
<br />
The Clean at Sephora seal means that products are formulated without: “Sulfates SLS and SLES, parabens, formaldehydes, formaldehyde-releasing agents, phthalates, mineral oil, retinyl palmitate, oxybenzone, coal tar, hydroquinone, Triclosan, Triclocarban. All skincare, hair, and makeup brands with the Clean Seal have less than one percent of synthetic fragrances.” — quoted directly on Sephora’s website.<br />
<br />
I wanted to give the product a proper trial, so I waited until I finished the pot. My eyes were a lot less dry while using the Origins Eye Doctor, and I noticed my makeup going on smoother. While the Origins claimed it also countered crow’s feet, de-poufs and fades dark shadows, that wasn’t a deciding factor for me. I don’t have puffy under-eyes, so I can’t say if it made a difference there. However, I did notice some changes in the dark shadows under my eyes. Since I have run out of the product, the area around my eye is beginning to become dry again, I am definitely going to order more!<br />

I recently picked up some new products. I have had the chance to try them out and I am really loving them so far. While these are my top products out of all the ones I've tried lately, I did decide to do a top 4 instead of a top 5 because of how well they all go together. I don't know how it happened, but my favorites are all different shades of green! </div>

Gourmand EDP Fragrance in 'The Matcha': I picked this up on a whim in Urban Outfitters. I don't remember what I went in for, only that I couldn't find it. I fell in love with the bottles of these fragrances when I first saw them. I wanted to like a scent so bad and as I was smelling them I was getting bummed that none of them seemed like my kind of fragrance. Until I picked up 'The Matcha', with notes of green tea, freesia, and amber, it is the perfect all round fragrance for me!<br />

MARIO BADESCU Special Hand Cream with Vitamin E: I have the driest hands ever. No matter what I do, they are always insanely dry. I knew I wanted a new hand cream that had Vitamin E in it, so I picked up this one to try. It not only has the Vitamin E I was looking for, but it also is packed full of antioxidants and Vitamin A. I'm really loving it so far. I think it could be a bit more moisturizing, but it works for me for now.<br />

Briogeo Be Gentle, Be Kind Matcha + Apple Replenishing Superfood Shampoo and Kale + Apple Replenishing Superfood Conditioner: I found these when looking through the 'Clean at Sephora' section. I wanted something a bit better for my hair and something without a bunch of chemicals. The shampoo doesn't lather as much as I would like, but the smell makes up for it. The shampoo is packed with matcha and apple to help nourish your hair without stripping it. For the conditioner, I noticed a little bit goes a lot further than the shampoo. The conditioner has kale and apple to nourish and hydrate.<br />

I finally got around to picking up some Glossier products. I only picked up a few items to get a feel for the brand, but I do plan on doing another haul soon! Glossier seem to get really big, really fast, and came out of nowhere. They seemed to have so much hype right from the beginning. Glossier is more of a natural-looking everyday makeup brand, which fits right in with the way I like to do my makeup.</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">PERFECTING SKIN TINT</span></div>
I have worn the same foundation for several years. My beloved Chanel Vitalumière Aqua will always have a place in my makeup bag. However, over the last year, I have noticed that I have worn foundation less and less. Currently I don’t wear any. I wanted to try the skin tint because most people say that it is very sheer coverage. I picked up the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/NrUd">Perfecting Skin Tint</a> in Light ($26). The formula is very runny, almost like water. To apply, I dotted some on my face and applied with my fingers. The skin tint melts into your skin, so there is no need for a makeup brush or a beauty blender. It is so low-maintenance and weightless on the skin. You can even build it up a bit. The skin tint leaves a dewy finish on the skin, which is something I prefer in a foundation so I don’t feel the need to powder after applying. I think I could have gone with the medium shade, as it is a bit too light for me. If you are between shades, I would recommend going with the darker shade. It blends so easily and the coverage is so barely-there that you wouldn’t notice a difference on the skin. It lasts well on me and doesn’t cling to any dry patches. Glossier claims that it hides your freckles, as someone that has a ton of them, I would disagree. Overall, I’m obsessed with this product. I still go most days without a tint or foundation, but when I want to feel a bit more put together this is the first thing I reach for.</div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Generation G is a new kind of lip color that gives the look and finish of just-blotted lipstick, without the blot. We’ve created a short list of the six most important shades, with dialed-down pigment loads for a casual look: Zip, Leo, Crush, and Jam, along with the super subtle Cake and Like, which give some oomph to lighter lip tones. They’re lipsticks that adapt to you, not the other way around, so they'll appear a bit different on everyone as your natural lip color shows through. The effect? Diffused, matte goodness—just swipe it on.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">GENERATION G SHEER MATTE LIPSTICK</span></div>
I prefer a simpler lip. I don’t want hassle and I don’t want to have to worry about needing a lip liner. I tend to stick with tinted lip balms, lip stains, and liquid lipstick here and there. With a six-shade range, the Generation G lipstick have a sheer, lightweight, formula with a matte finish. I picked up the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/NrUh">Generation G sheer matte lipstick</a> ($18) in Leo and Jam. Jam is a deep berry magenta, and Leo is a warm cocoa brown. Each lipstick will look different on everyone, as they adapt to you. The formula is matte, yet it has a balm-like texture on the lips. The Generation G lipsticks are long lasting and don’t dry out my lips. Usually, I can’t wear matte lipsticks because my lips are really dry. These are a bit on the more expensive side. For only 0.07oz/2.0g of product, they are a bit on the pricey side at $18. I love these lipsticks for everyday use and they have become my most reached for out of all my lip products. If I had to pick my favorite, it would definitely be Leo!<br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">PRIMING MOISTURIZER RICH</span></div>
The one Glossier product out of my little haul that I did not like. Oh how I wanted to love this product. Everyone is obsessed with it. I picked up the <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/NrTZ">Priming Moisturizer Rich</a> ($35) because it was a dense and nourishing moisturizer for my dry skin. I love my current moisturizer, but I always like to try new products too. I don’t consider my skin very sensitive. It is dry and dehydrated, and I usually avoid products that claim to remove dark-spots or hyper pigmentation as I am not quite ready to lose my freckles. After applying the moisturizer, my skin burned. I thought I was being dramatic, everyone loves this moisturizer. The second time I tried it, it burned again, and the next day I woke up and my freckles had lightened. I ended up giving this moisturizer to my sister because she had wanted to try it. She has dehydrated, sensitive, acne-prone skin and didn’t have any problems with it. </div>

This cleansing oil lasted me for ever! I did a brand review on Clinique skincare, you can check it out <a href="http://www.sarah-henry.com/2014/10/clinique-skincare-brand-spotlight.html">here</a>. I wrote the review in 2014! I probably had it longer than I should have, but I don’t care. I’ve tried other cleansing oils since I wrote the review, but I still think it is a pretty good cleansing oil. I prefer to rub the oil onto my skin with my hands and then use a cotton round around my eyes to help remove product.</div>

I did a review of this product, and several other Burt’s Bees products, you can check out the review <a href="http://www.sarah-henry.com/2017/08/burts-bees-skincare.html">here</a>. I liked that the product had a pump. Most moisturizers I have used are in a jar, and it is much more hygienic to have a pump! I didn’t have a problem with the moisturizer, as I used it up, but I didn’t feel like it was rich enough for my dry skin. </div>

I have been using the Hourglass mascara for a while. I don’t know how many tubes I have gone through. I am a bit on the picky side when it comes to mascara. I don’t like when a formula is too thick and clumpy on the wand. I also tend to like more lengthening mascaras over volume mascaras. This mascara is one of my favorites.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
I love this stuff. I definitely think it is best in the summer months, especially in the desert where it’s sometimes too hot for body butter or lotion. I used the majority of the bottle over the summer last year. It’s moisturizing, light, and doesn’t have a strong scent. I will definitely be repurchasing!</div>

— BENEFIT FAKE UP CONCEALER —</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Another product I had way too long. Although, to be fair it was basically empty for a while. I just have a hard time throwing things out. They don’t even sell this stuff anymore. I think now it’s the Boi-ing Hydrating Concealer. I liked this concealer because it was hydrating. It didn’t have the best coverage. It also would move around under my eyes and crease throughout the day. I might try the newer version, but obviously I cannot repurchase this one.</div>

— FIRST AID BEAUTY ULTRA REPAIR CREAM INTENSE HYDRATION MINI —</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
I have very dry skin that is prone to eczema. I like to keep some of this moisturizer in the house. It doesn’t smell amazing, it doesn’t do anything other than moisturize. I use it when all of my other hand creams are making my hands burn. When my hands are irritated they get really red and burn, this is one of the few products that can calm them down.</div>

— KIEHL’S CREAMY EYE TREATMENT —</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
Does eye cream really even do anything? Everyone raves about this eye cream. I knew I had to try it. I didn’t notice a huge difference in my under-eyes after using this product. It was very moisturizing, but other than that I didn’t see any significant changes. Not sure I will repurchase this one.</div>

— JOSIE MARAN WHIPPED ARGAN OIL BODY BUTTER —</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
This body butter is by far my favorite body butter. I am obsessed with the smell. I get the Vanilla Apricot scent. I love that it isn’t too thick, for a body butter. My skin soaks it up and it doesn’t leave any residue behind. In the hotter months, I can only use it at night or if I am not leaving the house that day. But, I think that’s more of a me thing because I also don’t wear makeup in the hotter months! I have already repurchased this product, so I definitely recommend. </div>

— LANCÔME TEINT MIRACLE RADIANT SPF 15 FOUNDATION —</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
The Lancôme Foundation was one of my first few higher end foundations. I mostly liked tinted moisturizers (still prefer them) over foundations. I really liked this one until one day I was looking in the mirror after wearing it for several hours and it had oxidized. I have pink undertones and this had me looking yellow after a few hours. I didn’t want to waste the product so I started mixing it with my moisturizer and that had worked enough for me. I held onto this one longer than I should have and I won’t be repurchasing.</div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: center;">
My birthday was earlier this month! My mom, sister, and mother-in-law came to visit! Three extra people staying in our little townhouse was a bit claustrophobic, but it was nice to have everyone here. We had a low-key few days. I didn’t want to do anything big, so we watched lots of movies and went shopping! It was exactly the weekend I wanted! Next month is Joe’s birthday so we are driving back home to California for the week of his birthday! It’s been years since we have gone back to where we’re from. I am excited, yet super anxious about it! I plan on taking lots of pictures on our drive! It’s an 11 hour drive, but I think it will be a lot of fun!</div>
</div>

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
1. I feel like my body is still recovering from spending a weekend in LA a few weeks ago. We ate out a lot and my stomach isn’t used to it. It was also an insanely stressful trip, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it too.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
2. Gracie lost 2 pounds! Isn’t it insane how an animal only needs to lose a couple pounds and they are at a healthy weight. I wish!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
3. My sister is moving in with us soon. I feel like I’m being extra lazy and enjoying my alone time (and family time) before she officially moves in. She is already ordering things and shipping them here for me to put in her room. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
4. I am weirdly into cleaning videos on youtube. There is nothing more relaxing than watching other people clean their houses. Some of my favorites are The Simple Life, LoveMeg, and VassuerBeauty. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
5. I have played way too much Zelda: Breath of the Wild in the last few days. But, I can’t stop! I’m obsessed my Nintendo Switch (early birthday present)!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
6. We are thinking about getting one of those at-home cycling bikes. We already have weights, balls, and a total gym, so we want something for cardio! Any suggestions?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
7. I have medium-ish length hair and I am dying to chop it off. Gahhhh. I don’t know. Should I go for it?</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
8. I’ve been getting more into cooking, but it’s hard coming up with recipes. I came up with the best vegetarian chili recipe! It is so good. I’m thinking about posting the recipe, but then I’d have to actually measure everything.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
9. I don’t measure recipes. I just wing it.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
10. We finally decided on a builder! We are hoping to start the process of building a new house at the beginning of next year. Hopefully this indecisive person will be able to pick some great interior options!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
11. I got a new camera and I’m obsessed with it. I can’t wait to get out and take some photos when Joe has some more time off!</div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
12. We took a drive and went East with no destination in mind other than enjoying the scenery, but then the pavement ended and we had to turn around. It made me think that if we stay in Arizona, we may have to invest in a Jeep or something with 4-wheel drive. I was bummed that we had to turn around, but also secretly thankful. I couldn't stop thinking about horror movies! However, we are officially on the hunt for an old Jeep!</div>

2017 was a hard year for me. I feel like it started out great. I did a little reset at the beginning of the year. I wouldn’t call it a diet, but I cut out everything that wasn’t that great for me. I also started working out a couple times a week. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
In May 2017, I broke my ankle. I’ve only broken bones once before. When I was taking dance classes in High School at a local company. We were instructed to jump off the stage at the end of the song and keep dancing down the aisles. I knew the second I hit the ground, I broke something. I broke three metatarsals in my left foot. This time was different. I stumbled off a curb and heard a crack, yet was in denial. I kept thinking, no it’s just a sprain. I went home, laid on the couch, and a few hours later I knew I needed to go to the hospital. </div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
Breaking my ankle devastated me. I don’t heal fast. I was a few months into my new workout routine, I was eating better. I became a vegetarian. But breaking my ankle, stopped everything. I was down for months. I was encouraged to stay off my feet, relax and let my body heal. With each x-ray I kept hoping that I was healed and each time there was still a little sliver of a break. Physical Therapy was brutal. I was out of shape and so scared of my ankle. I spent the rest of 2017 doing nothing but Physical Therapy and going to Orthopedic Doctors appointments. I know that I was lucky and my break was clean so I didn’t need surgery. However, it was hard not to slip into a bit of depression.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
I don’t want to reflect too much on 2017. Other than breaking my ankle, not much else happened.</div>

<span style="font-family: "Lemon/Milk"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">2018</span>, for me, is a new beginning. I know it is a cliche, but I really am getting a fresh start. I just recently “re-learned” to drive, which makes me feel like a finally have some freedom. I can start working out again, maybe lose some of the weight I gained from being laid up for several months (which shockingly was only about ten pounds). My Physical Therapist recommended a Total Gym, so we got a great deal on one from QVC.</div>

I really want to focus more on my blog this year. I think sometimes I take blogging too seriously and then I end up going several weeks without posting because nothing is good enough. I also want to revamp my blog. Although I worked hard on it, it still just doesn’t feel right or feel complete me. This is also a life thing, but I want to take more photos. I am saving up for a new camera and I want to push myself to get out more and take more photos. I’ve been toying with the idea of opening an Etsy shop. I’ve worked off and on over the last year trying to come up with items I would want to put out. Another idea I have been tying with is starting a YouTube channel. Starting a YouTube channel would be a big step for me, in putting myself out there on the internet. I like the idea of being anonymous too much and struggle with the idea of putting my face out there for everyone to see.</div>

As mentioned above, I really want to get out and take more photos. Most of the photos in my camera roll over the last year are pictures of Gracie — which is fine and I will continue to take way too many photos of her. However, Joe and I have been together for about 10 years. I feel like I don’t have a ton of photos of us and that makes me sad. I also want to take more photos of landscape, my favorite kind of photography. We almost had the opportunity to move to another country (so exciting), but as it was happening I realized that I haven’t traveled as much as I would have liked to. There are so many amazing places in and around Arizona. I want to push us to travel more this year. In 2017, I started to get more organized and condense the amount of things we own. I want to continue that this year. I want to keep pushing myself not to hold on to things just because. And finally. I am going to get into a routine of working out again. I am not going to be too hard on myself, it’s not that kind of resolution. With my ankle not 100% range of motion, I need to remember to cut myself some slack in 2018.</div>

Happy Sunday! I can't believe it is half way through December! I feel like this year has gone by so fast, granted I spent most of the year down from a broken ankle. I'm so excited to bring you another one of my gift guides of the season! The past few weeks on the blog I've been sharing some gift ideas for the different people and family members in your life. Finally, my last Gift Guide of the year, here are my top picks for him this year! Here are a few items from this gift guide that have my 100% recommendation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/p5EW">HYDRO FLASK</a> / / I love Hydro Flasks. We have a few of them at my house. I love how it keeps your drink cold, or hot, all day long - And since we live in the desert, it's important to have water in the car when we are out and about.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/p5Nq">FOSSIL WALLET</a> / / Fossil wallets are great. I feel like they are really durable and last a long time. Joe has had his for the last 8-10 years, and he only needs a new one because he stretched out some of the pockets when he used to have to carry more cards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/p59L">THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID GAME</a> / / This game is awesome. It's so much fun. We got this earlier this year when I was couch-ridden from breaking my ankle. We had so much fun playing it that I got the expansion pack for Joe for Christmas - Shhh!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/p6fn">APPLE WATCH SERIES 3</a> / / I have an Apple Watch and find it so useful. I think this would make a great gift for him!</div>

Greenies help reduce plaque and tarter, as well as helping keep your pups breath fresh! They also come in different sizes based on the weight of your dog!</div>

Gracie goes nuts for these! Bocce's Bakery treats have limited ingredient recipes that are perfect for sensitive tummies! For example, these Apple Cider Donut treats are made with Oat Flour, Apple, Honey and Cinnamon. That's it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/okS5">FAUX FUR THROW</a> / / There is nothing I love more than cozying up under a super soft throw. I'm the weird person who get cold in the desert in the middle of summer! While on the smaller side, this throw is incredibly soft and one of my favorites. I, personally, ask for a throw every year for Christmas. I'm building a collection!</div>

This is similar, but instead of a prompt, you write a line a day about anything. I love this idea because sometimes it can be difficult to come up with things that fit the prompts in the 5-year journal! This memory book is such a fun a to look back on at the end of the year!</div>

Happy Sunday! I can't believe it is already the middle of November! I feel like this year has gone by so fast, granted I spent most of the year down from a broken ankle. I'm so excited to bring you my <b>first</b> gift guide of the season! Every week on the blog I'll be sharing some gift ideas for the different people and family members in your life. For instance, these are my top stocking stuffers this year! Here are a few items from this gift guide that have my 100% recommendation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ob4Y" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;">LIP BALM TRIO</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span>/ / These Burt's Bees lip balms are one of my favorites! I go through these so fast. I have the driest lips, so I am constantly in need of a good lip balm. These are personally on my wishlist this year. You can never have too many lip balms, especially when I always seem to misplace mine!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.apple.com/shop/gift-cards" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;">ITUNES GIFT CARD</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span>/ / Another easy one for me. I feel like you can't go wrong with an iTunes gift card (or google play - whatever kind of phone you have). These are a must for me this year. We finally went digital and bought an Apple TV, so it's time to start building our collection of movies!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica";"><span style="font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ob6i" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;">MINI POUCH</a><span style="font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span>/ / This one is kind of cool! I am always loosing things in my handbag. Bobby pins, hair ties, etc. This is such a fun way to keep together all of your little bits and bobs that always seem to get lost. It comes in two different colors with cute little sayings in gold across the top! I can't get over how cute they are!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ob6O" style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12px;">MOISTURE MASK</a> / / Last but not least, this moisture mask from Origins is a must have for those of you that have dry skin. My skin is very dehydrated and dry, and it's worse in the winter. This is the perfect pamper mask! If you don't have dry skin, Origins also do a <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ocQR" target="_blank">charcoal mask</a> to clear pores and a <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ocQU" target="_blank">retexturing mask</a>!</div>

I have seen it on a few blogs including <a href="http://www.barefootblonde.com/">Amber Fillerup</a> and <a href="http://aspynovard.com/">Aspyn Ovard</a>. You basically just write 12 things, anything you want. I don’t know if this will be a weekly thing for me, lets be honest I’m not that interesting. I just thought it would be fun to do every once in a while. If you have any other ideas of different series I can do on the blog, let me know! <br />

<li>We just had our 5-year wedding anniversary! I can’t believe it has been 5 years and that it will be 10 years all together in February! We didn’t do anything awesome because I’m still healing from breaking my ankle! </li>
<li>We just got a new bed frame. The first one I’ve ever owned in my adult life. We got it from Amazon and I don’t know why we never thought of buying one online before! I love it and it makes our Leesa mattress even more comfortable! </li>
<li>I’ve become sort uncomfortable about the idea of Thanksgiving. Is it just me? Am I being weird? I don’t know, Joe is bummed because he just wants the food! But, I think skipping it and going straight into Christmas-mode is a better idea! </li>
<li>I wish Arizona would realize it is Fall already. I’m tired of the heat… bring on the cooler weather! </li>
<li>I’ve been going room by room going through our stuff and really being brutal on my inner hoarder. We don’t even have a ton of stuff, but we don’t have a way of organizing it all so I feel like I’m suffocating. </li>
<li>I feel like I really need to make more of an effort here, regardless of how many people are reading. </li>
<li>I got normal tennis shoes! Normally, not a thing to talk about. But, considering I was in a boot, a cast, back in a boot, and these clunky New Balance shoes. I'm really excited about getting a pair of Adidas Superstars!</li>
<li>I pride myself on being an avid reader. However, this year I feel like a failure. I’m no where near my norm. </li>
<li>My sister is considering moving in with us next year when her nanny job ends. </li>
<li>I thought that becoming a vegetarian would be a lot harder than it is. I do stick to mostly the same meals, so if any of you have any meal ideas let me know! </li>
<li>My mom decked her whole house out for Fall and it’s really making me want to go back home for a visit. I haven’t been in years! </li>
<li>Gracie, our Puggle, is going to be 7 years old this year. What? How? </li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
While it has been Fall for a few weeks now, it is still very hot in Arizona. We seem to get Fall a little later than everyone else. I cannot wait to start wearing boots and jackets. This is hands down, my favorite time of year. Just because the seasons are changing, doesn't mean you have to swap out your whole wardrobe. Here are my top 5 tips for transitioning from Summer to Fall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. LAYER UP</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Layering is key, and one of the most easiest (and basic!) tip to remember. During the day it can still get pretty warm, but at night it still can get a bit chilly. Adding a cardigan or a light jacket can take a Summer outfit to Fall.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. ADD TIGHTS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
This one is an easy one too. Taking a Summer outfit and wearing tights underneath is the perfect way to make your wardrobe look ready for Fall. Depending on the type of tights, they can also add some warmth as well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. ADD DEEPER COLORS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
If your like me, you probably wear darker colors all year long (I can't help it - I love an all black outfit!). If not, now is the perfect time to start adding in some rich jewel tones or earth tones into your wardrobe. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. BOOTS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Boots are a Fall, and Winter, staple. They are also another way to take your Summer outfits into Fall. While boots can be expensive, there are a lot of low-cost boots out there as well. You don't have to spend a ton of money. However, if you want to buy something that will last you several years, it might be a good idea to invest in a pair of boots!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. IGNORE THE RULES</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Do what you want, wear what you want. You make the rules when it comes to your own style. I wear black all year long. I pair black with brown. I wear white after labor day. It really doesn't matter, as long as your happy and comfortable with what your wearing. Wear what makes you feel great!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In case you closet is a little bare, here are some items I recommend picking up!</div>

I have really dry and dehydrated skin, and it has the tendency to get flaky in certain areas of my face. It’s a struggle to find skincare that is very moisturizing, and that also doesn’t fade freckles. I have been using this product a little over a week as part of both my morning and evening routine. I haven’t been exfoliating, and in that week this is the only product I used to wash my face. <br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I love the packaging of the product, it makes me excited to use it every day. The bottle looks refreshing and I like that it is transparent. I also love that it is vegan. I’m not vegan, but I try to make better decisions on what I am putting on my skin. It is advertised as 99% natural-based and there is an explanation on the bottle of where each of the ingredients are derived from. It is free of paragons, dyes, silicones and sulfates!<br />

<br />
The Garnier Aloe Refreshing Facial Cleanser is very light and has a subtle fresh scent. It has a gel-alike consistency, that is thinner than most, so you have to be careful when pumping out the product. After adding a little bit of water to your face, apply the facial wash, and then massage to cleanse your face. My face felt clean and soft after using, and it removed most of my makeup. It left behind a bit of mascara, but I usually double cleanse so this isn’t an issue for me on a daily basis. Since my skin is so dry, it did make my skin feel a little tight if I waited too long to put on my moisturizer. However, most cleansers are like this for me and I usually just make sure I put on my moisturizer right away! <br />
<br />
Overall, I really did enjoy the cleanser and I will continue to use it in the future!<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you tried the Garner Aloe Refreshing Facial Cleanser, or any other products from the range?<br />

Lately, I've been really obsessed with homeware. After breaking my ankle, I spent a lot of time on Pinterest and most of the items I pinned were homeware. Now that I can hobble around (read about my journey <a href="http://www.sarah-henry.com/2017/06/life-update-where-ive-been.html" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.sarah-henry.com/2017/09/life-update-im-healed.html" target="_blank">here</a>!), I've been going through different rooms of our house, one-by-one, getting rid of things that we really just don't need anymore and organizing what we've decided to keep. We tend to have the habit of holding on to useless things.<br />
<br />
I feel like I have only just begun to get a sense of my home-style and am ready to start decorating.
We have moved around a ton! This is the first place that has really felt like home, and the first place that I actually want to start hanging some stuff on the walls! I have a more clean, minimalist sense of style. I don't like too much clutter and I like items that serve a purpose. As I search for items to decorate my house, I thought I would share some of my favorite items I have found!<br />

<br />
Not too long ago, Target started a <i>collection </i>called "Project 62". They have recently added some amazing things that I am obsessed with. Several of the items below are from the "Project 62" collection, like the <a href="https://www.target.com/p/24-amherst-mid-century-modern-side-table-brown-project-62-153/-/A-14963279?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">Side Table</a> and the <a href="https://www.target.com/p/soriano-square-arm-channel-tufted-chair-project-62-153/-/A-52482443?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">tufted arm chair</a> in a gorgeous blush-pink color. Large round mirrors are everywhere at the moment! I love this <a href="https://www.target.com/p/round-decorative-wall-mirror-brass-project-62-153/-/A-50301089?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">round brass mirror</a> from Target. It also is inexpensive compared to some other ones I have found. I really love all things marble. I found these <a href="https://www.target.com/p/marble-wood-coasters-set-of-4white-brown-threshold-153/-/A-50928604?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">marble and wood coasters</a> and <a href="https://www.target.com/p/marble-and-wood-bookend-project-62-153/-/A-52413170?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">marble and wood bookends</a> from Target as well!<br />
<br />
For the the past few years, we have only had the pillows we sleep on on our bed. So, I have been on the hunt for some really great pillows. I love the <a href="https://www.target.com/p/textured-faux-fur-square-throw-pillow-project-62-153/-/A-52785361?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">pink</a> and <a href="https://www.target.com/p/linework-woven-oversize-throw-pillow-project-62-153/-/A-52414008?clkid=46a26ed1Nb14d76d5dba94a21f2bc4be1&lnm=81938&afid=ShopStyle%20Inc.&ref=tgt_adv_xasd0002" target="_blank">gray</a> pillows from Target, and the <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/textured-indira-pillow?cm_mmc=LS-_-affiliates-_-J84DHJLQkR4-_-9551155874&color=102&siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-oKCwVJdzj3Sg9P1dVQUp6Q&size=14%22%20X%2020%22&utm_campaign=J84DHJLQkR4&utm_content=9551155874&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=LS&utm_term=516856" target="_blank">textured pillows from Anthropologie</a>. Also from Anthropologie, is this amazing <a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/textured-trellis-buffet?cm_mmc=LS-_-affiliates-_-J84DHJLQkR4-_-10862787326&color=016&siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-GrRqmw79lHJTL9Whkh57Zw&size=ALL&utm_campaign=J84DHJLQkR4&utm_content=10862787326&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=LS&utm_term=516856" target="_blank">Textured Trellis Buffet</a>. Our downstairs doesn't have a ton of storage and the buffet would be the perfect thing to add some storage!<br />
<br />
We have such a blank space at the moment, and I can't wait to fill it and make our house feel more like a home! I can picture exactly how I want each room to look and can't wait to start shopping! Shop the items I mentioned and more below!<br />

font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
I wanted this to be my next post, so unfortunately it has been awhile since I have posted! </div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 16px;">
<br /></div>

I broke my fibula on the 22nd of May. I went to my orthopedic doctor this week, had x-rays, and found out that I am completely healed. He said that he likes the way everything healed and didn’t see any signs of arthritis in my ankle. I was using the ASO ankle brace and found that it was causing some bruising on my foot. After telling the orthopedic doctor this, he gave me an ankle compression sleeve with gel padding on both sides of the ankle for support. This has made such a huge difference in the way my ankle feels. It also makes my shoes fit better.</div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
The shoes I was recommended were the New Balance 1540v2. Thank goodness we were able to use our insurance to pay for these because they were expensive, especially for shoes I will only be wearing for six months. I picked up the shoes in ‘Basin with UV Blue’ color. The 1540v2 has a roll-bar built into the heels of the shoe to reduce rear foot movement. Since I am still wobbly — my PT calls me Gumby — and learning to walk, they thought that this shoe specifically would help me stay, and feel, more secure when walking. My family and I call them my old man shoes. I don’t find them to be the most comfortable shoe in the world if I am out and about all day, but they do their job. </div>

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
Just because I am healed, doesn’t mean I am back to normal. I still have to continue with Physical Therapy, but now on my terms — and the advice of my Physical Therapist, Ruth. I am still learning to walk and I don’t have full range of motion in my ankle. I also don’t have a lot of strength on the right side of my body. I have muscle atrophy on my right leg. The atrophy is more noticeable in my calf than in my thigh. In case you were unaware, muscle atrophy is when muscles waste away because of lack of physical activity. I spent weeks in a cast and was encouraged to have my leg up most of the time. It wasn’t a walking cast, and I am not particularly good with crutches so I didn’t do much moving around.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue'; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
For my workouts at Physical Therapy, I have been using a stationary bicycle, walking bars, and a total gym — we also use a ton of different colored bands and different body weight leg exercises. I wanted to get something for the house, so I could work out more at home and continue exercises that strengthen my ankle when I am done with Physical Therapy. So, we ordered the Total Gym Fusion from QVC. I don’t know why I hadn’t thought of QVC for big purchases in the past, especially since they offer a payment plan! I cannot wait until it arrives! I haven’t been this excited about working out in a very long time.</div>

I have broken bones before. When I was 17 I broke 3 metatarsals in my left foot. I wasn’t casted, and instead was given a velcro shoe and crutches. I don’t remember much about that break, except I still had to go to school. This break has been a completely different experience. I spent weeks in a cast, and if I did go anywhere it was in a wheelchair. It made me more aware of how people treat others that are disabled in some way. I was stared at constantly. People walked in front of me expecting me to just stop. People stood in the middle of store aisles and wouldn’t move. I was honestly shocked at how rude people were and it has given me a new outlook. My situation was temporary, but for many others it isn’t. </div>

After discovering the Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm, I really wanted to try more from Burt’s Bees. You can check out my review of the Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm here. Since I was in need of some skincare items, I decided to pick up a few from the brand while I was shopping at Target. I love the idea of using something more natural on my skin.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
First up is the Burt’s Bees Facial Cleansing Oil. On Ulta’s website, here is what the Burt’s Bees Cleansing Oil claims:<br />
<div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><i>Burt's Bees Cleansing Oil gently removes dirt and make-up, but won't leave an oily residue. Formulated with a unique combination of natural moisturizers, including Coconut and Argan oils, our cleansing oil is Dermatologist-tested and clinically shown to both cleanse and soften skin, naturally. Native to the tropics, Coconut Oil acts as a natural moisturizer that helps soften and smooth skin. Argan Oil is rich in antioxidants, and nourishes skin. Our unique blend of these natural oils gently cleanses your skin and keeps it feeling moisturized.</i></span></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
I first tried it by taking one pump and rubbing it all over my face and eye area, then adding some water and continuing to rub around my face. After rinsing it off, I did notice that some of my eye make-up was still there. The second time I used it, after rubbing it all over my face and eye area, I took a cotton round around my eye area. I noticed that helped get the rest of the eye make-up off without having to put a lot of effort in. <br />
<br />
Despite the oily texture, the Burt’s Bees Facial Cleansing Oil rinses surprisingly well, and doesn’t leave behind any residue. My skin felt clean and soft, and not dry or tight at all. With the Argan Oil and Coconut Oils, it is very hydrating. A little bit goes a long with the stuff, you only need about a half pump for the whole face!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Since I prefer to double cleanse, I also picked up the Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. On Ulta’s website it is described as:</div>
<div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"><i>Gently clean and soften your skin with Burt's Bees Soap Bark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. This deep cleansing cream is formulated with natural soap bark to gently remove dirt, excess oil and makeup. Infused with chamomile and aloe to soften skin. Contains a hint of menthol, known for its cooling properties, to cool and revitalize skin. It's 99.9% natural and contains no parabens, phthalates or petrolatum. Leaves your skin looking beautiful and naturally healthy.</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
I really love the smell of the Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream. The instructions say to wet your face and then apply the cream. This causes the cleansing cream to foam up instead of creating a layer of cream on your face. I tried it both ways: wetting my face first, and creating a layer of cream and using a wet cloth to remove it.<br />
<br />
When you use the cleansing cream, it has a cooling effect. This threw me off at first, and I found it to be a little too strong. After I rinsed the product off, my eyes were burning and watering. I’ve since used the product, keeping away from my eyes, and noticed it doesn’t bother me as much. After using the cleansing cream, I did notice a bit of tightness from it. I have dry skin, so this may be better for those with oily skin types.<br />
<br />
When I do use the Burt's Bees Soap Bark & Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream, I don’t use it everyday and prefer my Ponds Cleansing Cream (my holy grail make-up remover and cleanser). <br />
<br />

Lastly, I tried the Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream. Taken from Ulta’s website it Burt’s Bees claims:</div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Clinically shown to moisturize sensitive skin all day without causing redness or irritation, Burt's Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream provides soothing natural skin care for sensitive skin. Rice extract and aloe moisturize and soothe your sensitive skin, while cotton extract helps replenish your skin's outer layer and protect it from potential irritants. Lightly smooth this natural face moisturizer over your face and neck after cleansing as part of your skin care routine. It is a naturally gentle way to keep even very sensitive skin feeling fresh and well hydrated.</i></blockquote>
<br />
The Burt’s Bees Sensitive Daily Moisturizing Cream smooths onto the skin easily, it didn’t feel balmy or oily at all. My skin absorbs the product very quickly. I feel like this is right on the border of not being rich enough for my dry skin. I think the formula is better suited for normal skin that doesn’t lean too much to either side, oily or dry. I did enjoy the moisturizer, and continue to use it daily. I think the price tag alone is worth it not being quite as rich as I would like. My normal moisturizer is over forty dollars.<br />
<br />
I loved how the bottle has a pump. My normal moisturizer was a jar, and I didn’t like the idea of sticking my fingers into a jar twice a day. Pumps are so much more sanitary than jars. I really love the packaging of Burt’s Bees in general. <br />

<br />
My sister picked up the Burt’s Bees Sensitive Facial Cleansing Towelettes, and she gave them to me when she went back home to California. On Ulta’s website it says the following:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>Leave your face feeling clean and moisturized with the greatest of ease with Burt's Bees Sensitive Facial Cleansing Towelettes. These cleansing cloths are gentle on sensitive skin and removes makeup quickly and easily without rinsing. Specifically formulated for sensitive skin, these 99.1% natural wipes are formulated with cotton extract, rice extract and aloe known for their skin soothing and moisturizing properties. Gently wipe your face with towelette to remove dirt, oil and make-up. It's fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, allergy-tested and dermatologist-tested. Plus, it's FSC certified cloth. Use them as part of the Burt's Bees Sensitive skin care regimen. Give your skin the best nature has to offer with Burt's Bees.</i></blockquote>
<div>
<br /></div>
I tried them out, but unfortunately I didn’t think they were as good as other make-up remover wipes on the market. The towelettes themselves were thick and a little more on the dryer side, as if they didn’t have enough product on them. I felt like I had to scrub more, which started to sting after a while. Although they did remove all of my make-up, they left my skin feeling very tight and dry. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I don’t have particularly sensitive skin, although I have noticed some redness more and more on my cheeks. Both my sister and mom have more sensitive skin than I do. I always gravitate more towards sensitive skin products as a way of covering my bases, in case their is an ingredient I didn’t know irritates me.<br />

It’s that time of year again. <br />
<br />
Every summer, Nordstrom has its Anniversary Sale. It is the perfect time to pick up some of your favorite items. They have a great mix of not only summer stuff, but also items you can wear as summer turns into fall. The sale isn’t just discounted stuff that didn’t sell from last season, it also includes new releases for fall. With back to school coming up, the Nordstrom sale is perfect timing.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The Nordstrom sale recently opened up to the public and continues until August 6th. Most of the popular items sell our fast, but there is still plenty of time to shop! There are some really great deals this year and more than a few items that I can’t wait to pick up! Today I am sharing some of the items on my wishlist from the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. <br />
<br />
<br />
UPDATE: Some of the items below have sold out, but there is still a ton of great stuff available.<br />

I’ve been using an Erin Condren Life Planner for the last three years. I never thought I would ever not use an Erin Condren Life Planner. After months of seeing nothing but bullet journals all over the blogging world and Pinterest, I tried really hard not to go down the rabbit hole. Not to get sucked into the hype. I bought my first Bullet Journal from Amazon a few weeks ago.</div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div align="left">
There are still things about the Life Planner that I do like and miss, but I find that Bullet Journaling fits my life more. There is more freedom with a Bullet Journal than with a Life Planner. The options for a Bullet Journal are endless. There are so many different brands and colors to choose from. There is a choice between lines, grid, dotted, and plain. As well as, hardcover or soft cover. </div>
<br />
<div align="left">
I decided to purchase the Leuchtturm Hard Cover Notebook A5 Medium Dotted in Navy Blue. I thought that the dotted pages would be the best for me and allowed me the freedom I wanted, but with the dots to keep everything on a grid. I thought about getting black, but decided to get the navy blue at the last minute and I am so glad I did. I also like that the Leuchtturm Notebook lays flat. It makes planning and doodling so much easier than the Life Planner with its coil.<br />

I purchased the Staedler Pigment Liner set of 6 Liners. They come in 0.05mm, 0.1mm, 0.2mm, 0.3mm, 0.5mm, and 0.8mm. The Staedler pens come in a stand up easel case, which comes in handy for day-to-day planning. They have waterproof, smear free ink, and they don’t try out easily. They also don’t bleed through the pages of the Leuchtturm Notebook. I also purchased the Tombow Fudenosuke Brush Pen 2 Pens Set. The set has both a soft tip and hard tip pen. The pens have a flexible brush tip and are perfect for lettering and calligraphy. You can create fin or medium strokes with just a change of brush pressure.<br />

I’m really enjoying my set-up so far, although I am noticing a few things that I do want to change in future spreads. I will do a post soon on how I set up my spread. I wrote a post about breaking my ankle a couple weeks ago, it has mad blogging a bit hard as I am non-weight barring. It makes it almost impossible to take good photos. </div>

<br />
<br />
If you hadn’t noticed, I haven’t posted in a bit. I’ve been posting updates on <a href="https://twitter.com/SarahHenry29" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a href="http://www.instagram.com/Sarah_Henry29" target="_blank">Instagram</a> about what’s been going on, but if you don’t follow me there you might not know. So let’s back up a couple weeks.<br />
<br />
My husband's birthday was on the 21st of May. One of his best friends, who is basically his brother, came to visit for his birthday. My husband didn’t want to go all out, even though he was turning 30, but he did want a fun weekend just the three of us. And that is exactly what happened. We took him around to all our favorite places in Phoenix and Scottsdale, but mostly had a relaxing weekend. The last day that his friend was here, a Monday, we went out to lunch before going to take him to the airport. Coming out of lunch, I must have stepped off the curb wrong, but all I remember was hearing a snap and I was on the ground.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>I have anxiety, so getting out of the area was more important to me than figuring out what was wrong. I knew he had to go to the airport, so I didn’t want to go straight to a hospital or urgent care. Instead we went home. While my husband took him to the airport, I laid on the couch and tried to relax. But, the swelling wouldn’t stop. When my husband got back from the airport, we went to urgent care. They did x-rays and said that I had fractured my fibula, at my ankle. I was put in a walking boot, with crutches. They told me to keep taking ibuprofen and to follow up with an orthopedic doctor. On the 24th, we went to an orthopedic doctor where they did absolutely nothing. By Thursday night, leading into Friday morning, I was in so much pain that we had to go to the hospital. They did some more x-rays and confirmed that it was fracture. I was prescribed Percocet for the pain, and Zofran for nausea — I can barely handle ibuprofen. They made me an appointment with their orthopedic doctor, at the hospital, for a follow-up. I much preferred this orthopedic doctor to the orthopedic doctor I went to originally. The new orthopedic doctor is actually the doctor for the University’s football team. It was definitely re-assuring to hear that.<br />
<br />
At this point, I was still in a walking boot but was told to not put any weight on it and keep it elevated. At the follow-up, at the hospital, they took the boot off and looked at my ankle and the x-rays. They decided it was best to put my ankle in a cast. For the next 3 weeks.<br />
<br />
So that is where I am at. I have had my cast, my first ever cast, on for about 5 days. I know that 3 weeks isn’t that long, but it has taken some getting used to. I’m not used to not being able to do things for myself. Thankfully, my sister drove here from California to help take care of Gracie, and help me get around while my husband is at work. She has been a lifesaver! <br />
<br />
I didn't want to post pictures of the actual injury. I have some broken blood vessels and bruising from torn ligaments. But, here are the pictures I posted on Instagram.<br />

<br />
<br />
I don’t know how much I will be able to post, realistically. I am not allowed to sit, and have to keep my ankle elevated at all times. It makes taking photos and doing anything else virtually impossible. I do have some photos from some posts I was planning pre-injury, so hopefully I will be able to do something with those. I really wanted to write this post to update you all.<br />

I am the worst when it comes to re-applying lipstick. <br />
<br />
I am also not the kind of person to have lipsticks floating around in my handbag. But, I always have a lip balm with me. That’s why the Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balms have been a lifesaver. </div>

Burt’s Bees earth-friendly products have been in stores for years, and their Tinted Lip Balms have had a makeover. There are six floral inspired shades that provide a sheer coverage of color and 8 hours of moisture. The Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balms feel smooth on your lips and are made entirely from natural moisture rich ingredients including coconut oil, Shea butter, and Vitamin E. </div>

Each lip balm goes on smoothly and as someone with very dry lips, the Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balms color and care for lips in one easy application. They feel so smooth and moisturizing on the lips. I love not having to worry if I’ve smudged it, having to reapply, or getting anything on my teeth.</div>
<br />
<div align="left">
I do have naturally pigmented lips. However, I love the effect these lip balms give. The two that I picked up (I know — I’m hoping to get my hands on more soon!), match my favorite lipsticks. I can apply lipstick in the morning, and then when I need some lip balm it also adds some color back to my lips.</div>

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">In the world introduced in ‘The Circle’, individuals become completely transparent and are stripped of their anonymity even when performing menial tasks. Mae Holland has just secured a position with The Circle thanks to her friend Annie, a high-ranking employee at The Circle. Mae’s involvement in the company slowly begins overtaking everything and without stopping to consider, her entire life ends up being put on display for anyone willing to see.</span></i></div>

I really wanted to like this book.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I debated for awhile about even putting a review up on <i>The Circle</i>. With the movie release a few days ago, I decided to just post it.<br />
<br />
I hadn’t heard of <i>The Circle</i> by Dave Eggers until I saw the trailer. The trailer was so intriguing that I knew I would have to pick up the book before seeing the movie. Also, the fact that Emma Watson is playing the main character Mae, was a big sell for me. <br />
<br />
The idea of a Utopia centered around the Internet, or the company that controls it, really appealed to me. It is also very relevant. However, <i>The Circle</i> really fell flat. Sure it was creepy how everyone was so obsessed with sharing every little insignificant detail. This book was as if social media was on drugs. It was scary that the Circle wanted to control everything. And they were getting away with it, privatizing things that should be left public. I didn’t understand Mae’s decisions and the way she connected with the other characters in the book. There wasn’t a lot of depth to any of the characters, including Mae. <br />
<br />
I found <i>The Circle</i> to be a bit predictable. The ending wasn’t satisfying and it didn’t provoke some sort of emotional response from me. There were many times that I wanted to put the book down, but I kept going. I think I figured that it would get better, that there had to be more. <br />
<br />
I still really want to see the movie, I know… But. I think this is going to be one of those rare situations where the movie is better than the book. At least that’s what I’m hoping.<br />

I don’t know if it is because of the dry desert air, or if it’s something else. I am also very picky as to what I put on my skin. I have freckles and since I know it’s only a matter of time before they fade naturally, I try not to use any products that will reduce them quicker. </p><br />

The Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream claims to keep skin moisturized for 24-hours after use, immediately improve skin radiance, enhance skin brightness and clarity, and improve elasticity. It is formulated with Fresh’s proprietary Super 7 Complex—an age-defying, hydrating, and radiance-boosting blend of seven super-charged ingredients to defend against wrinkles, preserve collagen, promote the production of hyaluronic acid, seal in moisture, and soften the skin.<br />
<br />
First of all, I love all of the Fresh packaging. The transparent glass bottle is heavy and substantial, and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making their products look amazing. With that said, I kind of wish it wasn’t in a pot. I’m trying to find more products that I don’t have to stick my fingers into. For now, I am using a little spatula I received with a Shiseido product.</p><br />

The Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream has a light creamy consistency, not too heavy — but not too light either. It spreads easily and absorbs into my skin quickly. There isn’t any greasy or oily residue. When first applied, it soaks into my skin almost instantly. Even at room temperature, the cream has cool calming effect. I love the subtle fresh cucumber smell!<br />
<br />
It is priced at $45 before-tax. In the skincare world, I would say this is in the middle. Keep in mind, that I don’t mind splurging on skincare products. What might be reasonable for me, might not be for others. Another thing to keep in mind is that there is no SPF. I use this over my Clarins UV PLUS Anti-Pollution Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (Review to come!) during the day. I find that it still works just as well as it does alone in the evening.<br />
<br />
I love how lightweight this product is and how it works well with any season! I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with dry skin that wants some anti-aging properties as well. I think it’s great for those in their mid-twenties to thirties. I have used a couple of pots of this so far, and I will continue to re-purchase it.</p><br />

Have you tried this product before? What did you think about it? I’m really looking forward to trying more products from Fresh!</p><br />
