These days–or should I say, this year has been an exercise in finding balance and relishing those moments of relaxation and peace when I can. Those moments always include my skincare and beauty routine, and I wanted to head into the holiday season with some fresh products to get me through the madness. I picked up some essentials from the Beauty and Wellness shop, and I’m sharing my haul ahead. Scroll on to see all the beauty and skincare routine products I snagged!

  • I’ve been a longtime Patchology fan, so to cover all my bases I picked up the Patchology Nude and Improved Skin Perfection Kit. It includes sheet masks, eye gels, wipes & a lip mask, so I can treat my skin with hydration all over!
  • Using the Honey Belle Amethyst Facial Roller over a sheet mask is a power couple, and helps to de-puff and soothe. I like to facial roll most mornings to help wake me up, plus it just feels so relaxing!
  • Also, my work requires me to sit at a desk a lot so the Sheabrand Muscle Re-Leaf CBD Roller (currently unavailable) to soothe my achy neck has been such a wonderful addition. I keep it next to my computer and when I  feel the tension creeping up, I’ll roll some on my neck and shoulder and it gives a nice cooling effect. 
  • Since I’m homebound, I don’t wear a ton of makeup but I do like to groom my brows, and the Browfood Clear Fix Brow Gel tames my brows without making them feel crunchy or stiff. They have a good hold,  and help to condition your eyebrows as well!
  • My next essential is always a good lip balm, so picking up the Patchology Lip Service Treatment was a must. It is a gloss-to-balm, so you get that beautiful glossy finish & the benefits of a hydrating balm. It helps me feel put together, but it’s no fuss.
