January Favorites: RXBars, LOTR Unboxing Video & More!

Hello, friends! It's been a hot minute since I've lasted posted. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year spent with your family and friends. Mine was lovely but it seemed to all go by so fast due to a much busier work schedule which is part of the reason why I haven't been around in a while. I thought I'd kick things off with some of my favorite things from this month, which I'm finding hard to believe is basically over!


I have been thinking about changing my hair color for a while now and finally did it earlier this month at Ulta! I was envisioning more of a blonde hue but because my hair was so dark it will take at least two salon appointments to get it the way I want it to look. I really like it but I'm not totally in love with it. In fact, at the moment I think brunette might be more "me" but it has been a fun change! I've also been told that my hair photographs more orange-ish than what it looks like in person. Though just the other day a sweet little girl told me, "I like your yellow hair!". What do you think?


You all know how much I love me some healthy eating. I am the type of person to get super excited over a short ingredients list and I definitely found a great new little something you might be interested in trying! I've been seeing the RXBar all over my Instagram feed lately. I looked into it and found that these bars are packed with protein and are made with only a handful of ingredients. I found them at Target ($6.99 for 4) and decided to try the Blueberry flavor which is made of 3 egg whites, 6 almonds, 4 cashews, and 2 dates. Both my husband and I really liked it! It's rather thick and slightly chewy so I took bites of it with the side of my mouth as I felt like it was too hard for my front teeth to handle but Jason didn't seem to have any problems. One of them I had for breakfast which held me over for quite a long time and the other I had for a snack. They really work great for whenever you choose to consume them. Have you heard of these or tried any of the flavors yourself?


This was my first time trying a Mario Badescu product. I spotted the Aloe, Cucumber & Green Tea Facial Spray while in line at Ulta. I really liked the way it sounded and the $7 price point made up my mind. It's main benefits are to help hydrate your skin. I usually apply it after my make-up to help set it and give my skin that extra boost (it has a great cooling effect that I just love!). I've heard great things about this brand's skincare and am interested in discovering more products to try out especially since their products cruelty-free and paraben-free.


In this post I talked a little bit about how much I love Stranger Things. Since becoming a fan I have picked up a few collectibles here and there. My most favorite is probably the Demogorgon plush ($9.99). It's part of the SuperCute Plush line by Funko so obviously I don't need to really explain why it's completely adorable. I love that he can stand up on his own too!



My mom, sister and I recently did an unboxing video featuring The Lord of the Rings Mystery Minis by Funko. They are the cutest little collectible figures and we kind of go crazy opening them. We even stopped filming to go to the store to buy more! I think we all pulled some great characters! I thought some of you might be interested in watching to join in our fun and see which characters we got.

Cheers!
