FOOD LA LA

These were on the list last year, too and I still love ‘em just as much. I use Gunilla’s face oils—all handmade with 100% pure, natural, and organic ingredients—every morning and night (a small bottle lasts about 5 months). Her products also make great gifts for new mamas and babies.

Use code “foodlala” for 15% off her products and services (and free shipping over $75) through 12/20.

I’m a work-in-progress, but trying to dial back the scented candles. These wood sticks clean your air and add a nice woodsy smell without the toxic fumes.

Chris’s family always has this and I love the smell of it! We started using it this year and it always reminds me of our trips to San Diego.

For years, I’ve been frustrated with cotton pads for removing makeup and nail polish (seriously—why are these things so dang expensive?!) A friend recently recommended these to me and I’ve loved them! They take off makeup effortlessly then you can just pop them in their mesh carrying bag and drop them in the wash. I’ve designated 1-2 of them for nail polish removal (which I don’t use on my face)

I swear—this stuff works. But even if I didn’t, my little monthly spa ritual with Chris would be worth it. We love doing this together on a Sunday night. It’s pure, inexpensive, and will last forever.
