    Shop

    If you want to shop my favorite things / products for skincare, makeup, home decor, books, baby, toddler, and active lifestyle.

    All of the products on this page are products that I use and does not include sponsored items. Just things that I really love and continue to use over and over again!

    Links on this page are affiliate links, which means I might receive a small commission from your purchase from Amazon or other retailers.

    Favorite Things: Skincare

    Skincare products have become hugely important to me since I turned 30 years old. I am always looking for effective skincare products that moisturize, prevent aging and address adult acne and hyperpigmentation.

    These products are not safe for pregnancy and should be stopped 4 months before planning to become pregnant (per my dermatologist recommendation).

    I am including affordable and luxury products for every budget, but to be included in my favorite things list, it has to be a product that has worked for me.

    For reference, I have oily skin, but live in very dry climate, so light, non-greasy moisturizers are my favorites.

    You can read about my ordinary products review here.

    Favorite Things: Makeup Basics

    I am not a makeup guru, and truth be told, I would love to wear no makeup by having a flawless skin.

    Until I achieve that, these are the products I consider my makeup basics, which I always reach to for everyday makeup.

    I prefer a matte base as I have oily skin, and simple clean makeup with full coverage for trouble spots.

    I hate spending money on makeup products that I only use once, so here are just the ones I keep buying over and over again.

    Urban Decay Liar Lipstick
    Honest Beauty Demi Matte Lip Crayon Marsala
    Honest Beauty Mascara and Primer

    Favorite Products: Baby Room Decor

    When I was expecting my son, I wanted a neutral baby room that was modern, bright and clean. We still love his nursery and a lot of these products will transition with him to his big boys room.

    If you plan on having more than one child, these products can easily be repurposed without looking dated.
