Do you know someone in your life that is a certified beauty lover? A self care fanatic? A makeup guru or a skincare addict? In my life, that would be me, and I LOVE trying new products on a regular basis. As much as I love beauty though, I also LOVE me a good deal!! So one of my favorite things to do is buy value or gift sets with a bunch of different products (usually minis, but sometimes they throw in a full size!) at a super discounted rate! This way I get to try a ton of new products, and not be full price disappointed when I don't care for one. If you are looking for a gift for your favorite self care baddie, or you're a beauty lover looking to try new things, look no further! These are all gift sets I have personally purchased or been gifted, and I think they are 100% worth the money! I've broken these down by PRICE, so there is a gift for everyone on every budget!

Hi there! I try a TON of new products all the time. But what are my holy grail products? How do I qualify a product as a holy grail? Well if it made this list, it's a staple in my routine. Something I added to my routine, and now I absolutely cannot live without it! I notice a difference in my routine if I don't have it, I think about how much I miss it, and save money / eagerly await payday so I can restock it. I don't let myself go without or go very long without it! These are my all time favorite products, and they have truly changed my skin, makeup, body, or hair for the better, and I will not stop buying them!

I LOVE makeup!!! I truly think makeup created by makeup artists who work in the industry and directly with the products are superior! They know what works, what lasts, what photographs the best, the best formulas. These are all my favorite brands created by working / formerly working makeup artists! These are all - in my opinion - the best makeup artist brands and my favorite products from them!

I enter Instagram giveaways probably at least once a day - and I finally won one! I won a $100 Bath and Body Works gift card and here is everything I got! I went when the whole store was mix and match buy 3 get 3 FREE! I always love shopping here and smells all the fun, new scents is always a blast, especially when I bring my hubby along! It's a fun date we both enjoy because we both love candles and of course smelling amazing! I literally grabbed so many items, I put over $100 worth of stuff back (which I immediately added to cart when I got home lol!) I hope you enjoy my haul and maybe find something you'll like for yourself!

On June 1st, I had endometriosis excision surgery. They took out 3 areas of endometriosis, and several other cysts. My recovery has been, to put it quite honestly, awful. I have chronic pain to begin with, and because of that when I get hurt or am recovering from surgery I tend to hurt way more than the normal person. I also don’t believe I was treated with the proper care post op, and I should have been admitted to the hospital after surgery. I actually ended up in the emergency room 3 days later because the pain was so bad. I also had 5 days to prepare for this surgery, and I learned more from reading Benable lists and watching TikTok videos than I did from the doctors and nurses. This is everything I panic ordered from Amazon, that actually has made my life so much easier during recovery! If you’re going through something similar, I feel your pain and I’m so sorry! These things truly helped me so much, and I hope they can help you too! Not listed is the most wonderful husband in the entire world, who has taken over everything at home and taken care of me so amazingly, and I couldn’t be more grateful for him!
