Donder Tee from Downeast Basics

I love the bold stripes and both color combinations.

Blemish Control Facial Scrub-

Clarification-I am using the Walmart "Equate" brand but I am still getting great results with my skin.

I don't have really oily skin but I like that the scrub is oil free and has natural exfoliants. 

It is gritty so make sure you scrub and rinse it off really well.

My Favorites This Week #43

Pentatonix-That's Christmas to Me

These people are so talented. They have some beautiful original songs, some classics, and a familiar Disney tune. Its all Acapella. I know this came out last year, but they released deluxe version with a few new songs. Check it out. 

This is one of my favorite originals. 

Hair Removal-Tinkle Razor

I know the name is kind of ridiculous, but I am loving this product. Its perfect for all us women who have unwanted upper lip and facial hair.

The first option for getting rid of facial hair is shaving. You might think that in time shaving makes the hairs grow thicker and in a bigger number but it doesn’t. It’s just a myth. 

You can use a special razor for upper lip hair removal without any worries. And for other parts of your face. 

The name makes me laugh, a lot, but it’s the perfect razor if you want to remove facial hair. It’s not advisable to use razors that you would normally use on your body.

When using the Tinkle, you don’t need to wet your face or use a shaving cream. 

Just make those hairs go away on dry skin. The shape of the blade is perfect and the blade is not that sharp so, there’s no risk of cutting yourself. It doesn’t cause razor burns or irritations.

Whether you have peach fuzz or coarse hair, the Tinkle is going to handle them perfectly and instantly. Don’t forget to moisturize after because shaving your face also implies a bit of exfoliation. Therefore, you don’t want to have dry skin. 

The bonus is that it removes dead skin cells, makes your skin feel incredibly smooth, and it rejuvenates.

Shaving your upper lip takes less than a minute. It’s incredibly fast, there’s no faster method for upper lip hair removal. And no pain! You can use this as often as you need.

You'll us it more often than you would say waxing strips but its, quick, easy, painless and very affordable.

 Check it out on Amazon and read reviews. 

Ultra Soft Crew Neck Sweaters From Target.

Like the name suggests, these sweaters are soft and very very comfortable.

They are about half nylon, half rayon.

They come in solid colors and stripes, all beautiful so you are bound to find one you love. Or maybe not just one. I think I just bout 4 different colors. 

I believe they also come in a v-neck.

Check them out at the Target website.

It was released by Verve Records and Walt Disney Records in United States on October 30, 2015. Two editions of the album were released: a single-disc standard edition, and a digipak deluxe edition, containing two bonus tracks.

After a successful run with localized versions in France and Australia, David Foster decided to produce a new compilation album for the United States market. During development, Foster created a wish list of American music artists for the album.Foster often choose the song he felt fit the artist's style and vocal abilities.
