Arbonne Soothing Overnight Mask– I did a few of the Arbonne parties in 2017/18 and while most of the stuff wasn’t my favorite or to me wasn’t worth the price this one stuck with me. I use it anytime my skin seems to be freaking out. I put it on before bed, let it dry and go to sleep. 9/10 I have woken up with my skin calmer, the bumps/redness lessened or gone. I thing I like most about Arbonne is that they are vegan and cruelty free AND I can find the entire list of ingredients online.

Retail me not & Snip Snap Apps – Anytime I go to a store before checkout I check these apps for coupons. I am all about a deal. Its helpful to have the apps so I don’t have to go looking for coupons before I go somewhere.

Lush Cosmetic Warrior Mask – Another mask, I know, but I love this one too. It smells like garlic pasta to me which is funny but it feels so nice on my skin! I feel like it does a good job of soothing my skin without drying it out.

Erin Condren Teacher Planner – I wanted to wait a bit before I posted this so that I had time to actually use it. Even though I am not in the classroom this year this planner is perfect for me. I love the amount of space I have to give everything. I am using the back “attendance” pages as a habit tracker, I changed the “Communication” list to my reading log (one of my reading goals for 2019 to get my reading log on paper instead of just online) overall I am making good use of it and even though it is much bigger than the regular planner it is working for me!

Rtic tumbler– AJS gave me one as an Xmas gift in 2017 that matched the Keurig I got and I love it. I use it almost daily (at least Mon-Fri) and it keeps my coffee or tea nice and hot for a really long time. I had a bunch of crappy ones before and would always end up with cool coffee too quickly. These are a good price and last!

Thin Mints & Samoas – It is that time of year people! I was on carpool the other day and girl hopped out with her order form and I had to try not to run her down so I could make an order! Thin mints and Samoas are my faves! Did you know they have different names in different places? I didn’t until last year when my Canadian friend was talking about them and I was like but why don’t we have those! Turns out we do.

Bloglovin – Since I started to try and make changes and grow my blog I have realized how hard it is to keep up with blogs that aren’t in one place. I love bloglovin because I can just go to one site and see all the new posts from the people I follow. Other blogs I have to subscribe to their mailing list or remember to check their blogs for new posts which means I often don’t see posts until weeks later. I know that all the “make money” blog posts tell you that you need subscribers but I like having the option to not crowd my inbox.

Adobe Spark – I get free adobe everything through work so I am biased obviously…even though I still have no idea how to use most of it. But I am learning and Adobe spark has been super helpful for blog graphics and getting my SUYB posts together!

Helene in Between – I have been following her for what feels like forever and recently started to really pay attention to her posts about growing your blog and following. The reason I would say she is my favorite is because it feels like she doesn’t preach about being fake for your blog to grow. All the other stuff I’ve discovered seems geared towards people trying to make money with literally no interest in blogging other than that. I blog because I really enjoy sharing my life with the community (and yes of course I would love to make money off of it) but I don’t want to have to fake it to do that. Anyway, check her out. She has some great stuff!!

Somehow this turned into all the bloggy things I love but that is probably because it is something I’ve been working on a bit more. What are some of the blog related things you love?
