2024 Gift Guide: Clean Beauty Favorites

Back today with another gift guide! This time for the beauty-lover. Clean living is a passion of mine, so everything here is low-tox and free of lots of those unwanted chemicals. I've spent years honing my skincare and makeup favorites, so hopefully you find some good ones in the mix below! There's even more finds right under the gift guide. 

Let's get to it!

Ice roller / Merit bronzer / Cell Active Face Serum / Ilia skin tint / Ilia mascara / Olive & June gel polish kit (use code 25OFF for 25% off everything!)/ Olive & June polish (use code 25OFF) / Curling iron (1.25" is what I use) / Wrist bands for face washing / Divi Shampoo & Conditioner (use code MICHAELA15 for 15% off sitewide) / Divi Scalp Serum  / Tula Eye brightener  / Floral makeup case / Weezie Wash Cloths / Primally Pure Deodorant  / Eye Shadow / Velvet Hair Bow

For your Sister & your Friend:

 Wrist bands for face washing: I actually think this is the perfect stocking stuffer, but you could easily stuff a pair or two into a little gift bag for a friend. For me, these are a non-negotiable part of my evening routine. You put them on your wrists so that you don't get water dripping down your elbows (am I right?!) onto the ground while washing your face! Genius.
Weezie Wash Cloths: while you're at it, just throw one of these into the gift bag with the wrist bands! They're the absolute cutest with the little design, and if you've never tried Weezie towels before-- do yourself a favor and let this be your year. They are incredibly soft and fluffy, and I love that they're dark so you don't have to worry about makeup staining your towels. They come in a set of two, which is perfect for gifting. 
Olive & June polish (use code 25OFF for 25% off everything!): this is my favorite clean nail polish! It paints on like a dream and dries quickly. Don't miss their top coat! The best I've ever used.
Teleties Flat Claw Clip: this is one of my hero products of 2024, meaning it's so genius and solved so many problems of a regular claw clip. It's flat, so sitting in a chair / driving with a claw clip in is no longer a problem. I have super thick hair and I use the Large size.

For your Mom or Mother-in-Law:

Towel Warmer: I feel like this is the most luxurious gift you could give, especially for the mom who has everything already ;) As long as they have a bathroom that would fit the towel warmer, it's a sure winner!
Tula Eye brightener: this stuff is amazing! I've been using for a couple months and have really been impressed. You put it on under or over your concealer (I do under) and it has a bit of a brightening quality to it that helps your under eyes seem more illuminated. It also has a soothing cooling feeling to it, so it really makes your eyes feel rejuvenated. 
Whipped Hair Mask (use code MICHAELA15 for 15% off!): Divi is my go-to brand for clean hair care and hair growth. I've been a loyal customer since 2021! This new hair mask is the perfect gift for your moms to give a little extra love to their hair. It moisturizes and shines the hair beautifully!

For you!

Summer Fridays lip butter: this is by far my favorite lip gloss-- you'll never catch me without it! All the flavors all divine, but my favorite are the beige vanilla and poppy. They're sheer, light weight, but super hydrating!
Facial steamer: get the girl's night going with a steam facial. It clears your pores, and honestly, it's just really great to be warm in the winter ;) I've also used this to help with sinus pressure when I've been sick- ha!
Cell Active Face Serum: if you add one thing to your wishlist, let it be this serum! Its main ingredient is hydroxytyrosol, which is a phenolic compound found in olive trees and their leaves. It's a waterless serum, so you're getting your bang for your buck with the powerful active ingredients in here. One bottle lasts me 4 months with use every morning and every other night. I've noticed skin tightening, less breakouts, smaller pores, and even skin tone. It's incredible!
Happy shopping!

2024 Gift Guide: For Her

My first gift guide of the season is here, and I'm so excited to share it with you! I have been working on these guides for weeks, and you may know that Gifts is my love language, so a lot of love has been poured into them! I hope my guides make your shopping fun, joyful, and just a bit easier. 
Today's gift guide is for HER: your friend, your sister, your mom, mother-in-law, grandma, aunt...or you! Enjoy!

Ember Mug / Lake Pajamas / Belt Bag / Necklace / Floral Earrings / Slippers / Anea Hill Sunglasses / Monogrammed Floral Playing Cards / ruffle socks  / Planner / Book Lovers book / The Bodyguard book / HydroJug Traveler / Gardening Gloves (if you have roses, get these!) / Flower Snips / Hot Pack / L.L Bean Tote / Monogrammed Travel Pouch / Zinnias Seeds

For Your Friends & Sisters:

The Bodyguard book: this was my favorite read of 2024! It was pure delight-- everything a fun rom-com should be.
Lands End Tote: this is a Mom staple, so for your friends and sisters who are mamas, just add this right to your cart. You can personalize it, it's super affordable, and it's a great "car tote" (you know, for piling things you need to bring to and from your car), for beach / pool days, etc. We use ours ALL the time!
Belt Bag: Honestly, the most practical gift you could give. I was a purse girlie before having kids, and now that I have no hands to carry one, THIS is my life saver. It's under $50, too.

For the Gardener:

Flower Snips: hands down, my favorite flower shears. They're perfection!
Zinnias Seeds: this fluffy, ruffly new variety caught my eye! Zinnias are the easiest cut flower to grow, so if you want to start a garden but don't know where to begin-- start with these!
Gardening Gloves (if you have roses, get these!): they'll come in handy all garden-season and they're extra cute.

For your Mom & Mother-in-Law:

Floral Earrings: I am obsessed with Susan Shaw's jewelry. Every piece is timeless, elegant, and amazing quality. I have these floral studs and wear them all the time. They're light weight and stay in place, somehow just making every outfit. 
 Lake Pajamas: these need to be on your wishlist, too! But if you need a luxurious gift for your mom or MIL (to say thanks for all the babysitting, let's be honest!), look no further. This Relax Set is my favorite-- my mom has it and loves it, too! But any of Lake's PJ's will be the perfect gift. They're made of 100% pima cotton and when I tell you the fabric is dreamy...you'll just have to trust me. You will never regret giving (or receiving) a set of these!

For YOU:

Hot Pack: if you know me, you know this thing is on my body 90% of the day in the fall and winter. You pop it in the microwave for 90 seconds and then put it on your shoulders, back, stomach (the best for cramps!) It smells like the most pleasant tea and is the emotional support we all need in winter ;) It lasts for years and years.
Anea Hill Sunglasses: these sunnies have been on my wishlist for the year! They're so classic and feel like the perfect size. The quality of this brand is unmatched. If those are too pricey, check these out for a similar look for less.



Happy Shopping!xoxo
