As we enter further into the new year, it's right around the time to get rid of those Christmas nails and introduce our nails to those winter colors taking over. We still have two technical months of winter left, giving you plenty of time to try out the jewel tones, frosty neutrals, and designs that strike your fancy. There's got to be a color or two here that has the power to defrost that seasonal depression for a while, right?

The warm brown hue is taking over 2025, and I love it. It's a neutral color, so it goes with basically everything, and it is so easy to integrate into your home this season. Here is some inspiration to help you introduce (or add) some delicious Mocha Mousse into your daily life.

Let's take a shower together! (Not in a weird way lol) These products are literally in order of how I use them when I shower.

This list consists of basically every makeup product I own (that's still available lol) and that I use on a daily basis 💋

I've been eyeing these makeup products for ages but I never want to pay for them 😅😂 I'll get to them one day, hopefully.

I'm really low-maintenance with my hair and really just let it do whatever it wants most of the time but I do have some go-to products for maintaining and styling my long hair! Type: 2A-2B; thin strands but a lot of them so it appears/feels thick :)

This is my skincare routine in order. Since I don't do as much in the morning, this is mostly for my nighttime routine. However, I still use a few of these products when I wake up.

Clothes shopping? Here are my favorite items that I've picked up so far this year 🙂 My Sizes: 5'2", 100 lbs, XS/S, 00/0/2 (depends on the brand and how it fits)

Snacks that I don't need and are not healthy; yet, I find myself craving and treating myself to them anyway because I have no self-control 🙃

My mom asks me to compile a list for her to shop directly from each year, and this is what I've compiled for this year. It's realistic, affordable, and things I'll actually use (or eat).

When my mom asked me to make her a Christmas list for this year's holiday, I included all this on the slideshow (yes, slideshow) that I made her. Our family is more realistic and, for the most part, gives each other food and makeup items. We're not rich and asking for five pairs of $100 shoes, haha.

This Black Friday, these are the deals that I've been eyeing and definitely look forward to *thinking* about buying when they're on sale. Some of these are also products that I've owned and loved so I wanted to share :)
