I love getting gifts for people, so here's a list of my favorite gift ideas or gifts that I have gotten! Also, Etsy is such a great website for finding cute gifts and supporting smaller businesses/sellers

These were a part of my NYC bucket list and maybe y’all will find some inspo from this

Books I have either already read or plan on reading. It's hard to keep my attention on books so if these have been read, you know they're good

I prefer more warm or floral scents for myself, but I threw in some cologne, candles, etc.

I have been coloring my hair for YEARS and now it's time to try to fix that damage. My hair is wavy and thick (also high porosity I'm pretty sure). My goals are to increase growth, reduce shedding, make it softer, and reduce damage

Certified cat momma :) Most of these are from Chewy's site b/c I love getting pet supplies from them

This would be products I would use for my DREAM full-glam makeup routine. BRANDS THAT ARE MORE INCLUSIVE TOWARDS DARKER SKIN TONES: Haus Labs, Juvia's Place, Fenty Beauty, Pat McGrath Labs, Danessa Myricks Beauty, Rare Beauty, NYX sometimes, E.L.F. sometimes (comment other brands pls b/c I'm pale AF, but I want to make sure I try and recommend brands that work for everyone)

Some light-coverage, “no makeup” makeup options that I love for combo-skin. BRANDS THAT ARE MORE INCLUSIVE TOWARDS DARKER SKIN TONES: Haus Labs, Juvia's Place, Fenty Beauty, Pat McGrath Labs, Danessa Myricks Beauty, Rare Beauty, NYX sometimes, E.L.F. sometimes (comment other brands pls b/c I'm pale AF, but I want to make sure I try and recommend brands that work for everyone)

My favorite blushes, but I'm biased towards liquids/creams bc of how easy they are to use. BRANDS THAT ARE MORE INCLUSIVE TOWARDS DARKER SKIN TONES: Haus Labs, Juvia's Place, Fenty Beauty, Pat McGrath Labs, Danessa Myricks Beauty, Rare Beauty, NYX sometimes, E.L.F. sometimes (comment other brands pls b/c I'm pale AF, but I want to make sure I try and recommend brands that work for everyone)

For reference: I have combination skin and get stress and hormonal acne. I used to have very oily skin, buuuut pretty sure I was using products that would strip my skin too badly. Also have texture from me not having self-control over pimple popping in the past.

After using gel, builder gel, biting my nails, picking at them, it's time to fix up my nails so that they are no longer "bendy"

As someone who gets 10,000 steps every day, these are what worked for me

On days when you want to feel like you're still in your pjs (mostly Aerie b/c their stuff is so cozy)
