February Favorites! | Curly Hair Towel, Self-Tanner + More!

Hey guys welcome back to the channel, I'm bringing you a favorites video today with all the things I've been loving recently, including Fitness activewear, some books, some food, some baby stuff. So I'll talk about all that, but first things. First, this video is sponsored by lakeshore dragon. So this is actually the first thing, I'm going to show you this product. I have been absolutely loving for my curly hair and honestly, I think, even if you have wavy hair, even my straight hair trends, you can all probably benefit from this, so they sell these t-shirt, hair towels. What I used to do getting out of the shower everybody takes a regular towel on my dries their hair. So it's not dripping all over the floor right, I'm Josh always yeah also mean because I made such a mess in puddles in her bathroom, but not anymore. I started using these for my curly hair and, as you can see, the frizz is like non-existent. So using our material like this allows you to decrease your frizz overall in just much better for your hair, it's not as rough as a regular towel on your hair. So it's less breakage and what I do is this is the small size I believe so all do is when I'm in the shower I'll. Hang this up on the outside I'll grab my brace girl's, hair cream in the shower and I'll put like my styling cream on soaking, my hair, that's a big trick to I'm and then I'll just take this, and I will flip my hair over like this wrap. It up this one's a little bit short for my hair. I do have the bigger one now and then I just leave it like this. While I do my makeup get dressed and then after that I'll just kind of let my hair down and like squeeze out the extra water. So this has many Sabre and I cannot recommend them and not for you guys. So, regardless of the type of hair that you have, this can be highly beneficial to you. They have some really cute patterns, but definitely worth the investment, and thank you too, like short dry goods for sponsoring this video. Their link will be in the description as we'll. All of these, I guess I'll kind of just go in random order, we'll start with baby stuff, so Kai, as you guys know, has been eating and doing baby led weaning. We, I might have talked about these really briefly in a past video, but we use the easy-peasy. It'S literally easy-peasy little mat and I like them because they suction to the tabletop or to his highchair. This is the smaller version and then he also uses the tiny spoon. I think it's clothes. They just released a mini version so, for I think it's pretty just one and up of a spoon, that's a little bit bigger with a fork and then there's a slightly bigger bowl and a slightly bigger drinking cup too. So we really love these they're really easy to clean, they're, really easy to travel with, and we just bring one of these with us forever, but we're going and it works anywhere so highly recommend these Titans to try to push his bowls or his food off of His highchair, so the fact that this sticks on is like so much so love easy peasy. The other great thing I want to talk about, I'm not gon na like carry in here, hold the cup. It'S his Walker. I think the brand is juvie, jo, o V. Why you got Amazon, it's a little bit more expensive and some of the other ones out there, but I liked it because it had the removable tray. So if he's having like a cracker or a snack, you can. I can easily clean that it comes off and it's a little bit wider. So if you have a house doesn't have a lot of room, I would recommend it, but it like our living area is very open, so he has been loving that he goes so fast. So that's been like our lifesaver gadget at the moment, all right moving on, so I will go to books this book, I'm not even finished with it yet, but I'm recommending it to you guys because it is full of such great information and it's called tiny habits. The small changes that change everything by a bj5 I got on Amazon. One of the professionals I have booked up to tremendously in this industry is Sookie Lee and she recommended it. So if you're, a coach or if you're, just somebody who wants to implement better habits in their lifestyle, which I think everybody should be wanting to do that, because that's literally the key to making your fitness or nutrition anything sustainable, long term, so highly recommend this full Of graphs and information, and like examples of how to implement this in your day to day life going along with that kind of, I'm not sharing this exact journal because it's like from soccer shop, but what I've been reading is what I'm sharing. So I've been following the holistic psychologists. That is my current recommendation for you guys to go. Follow on instagram. She is like all of her posts. Make me think and make just it's just mind-blowing the things that she posts and so eye-opening to the way that we act in the way that we behave in our relationships are for ourselves. But anyway, she has an email list that she will send you a free journal prompt and it's called the self future self journal. So I've been waking up early and journaling every day for five minutes and it has honestly changed my life in the last couple of weeks, like I'm so much more productive, I'm so much more mentally clear, I'm more at peace and calm and focused, and I just Get more stuff done throughout my day might definitely contribute it to this journal practice. So go sign up for her email list. The link for this one is going to be her email us, so you guys can get on that and get the future self journal prompts. It'S the same thing every day, but you can go, watch our videos and hear her talk about how to really implement it. It'S just a game changer and I just it I'm almost speechless. That'S how much it's impacted in my life recently. So I highly recommend that, let's move on to food, I guess the only food item I have for you guys this time you might have seen them they are called built bars. This was my first time trying these I ordered. I got them on their website and this is just like their sample pack so really impressed with the macros, so the macros for one bar. They changed a little bit depending on the flavors but 15 grams of protein 13 grams of carbs and 4 grams of fats, and there is 6 grams of fiber, so not an excessive amount but a decent amount. I cannot explain how good these tastes - and I know you've heard this before about protein bars, but these are like on another level compared to every other kind. I'Ve tried I've had quest bars. You know I've had all the ones that you find at your local grocery store. Rx bars, Clif bars. No, these you just have to try them. My current favorite flavor is the peanut butter in the coconut, get the sample pack try all of the different ones, and then that way you can order your favorites, but super super super good, macros and just a great little snack or something to bring them to go With you, you can meet two and make it a meal, but really love this alright, I'm to like beauty, stuff and I'll finish with Fitness, activewear stuff, so self tanners. You guys asked me this all the time I think in my last favorites video. I talked about isle of paradise, which I still use on my face. I use the face drops but they're dark out there mousse one. I think it's like ultra dark, mousse or something that one. I don't know if I just got a bad bottle last time, but it started to get really like splotchy and it would dry funny. So I stopped using that and took like a good week for me to scrub it off, but I went back to love and tan and I've used this before this is the loving tan to our Express it's awesome. I have it on right now, so I just put it on already super dark for me. I don't put this on my face. I still use the drops like I said, but this one just delivers more of like a bronzy, even color, whereas the I love paradise. Mousse one like I said it just got really splotchy and uneven and it might have just been a bad bottle, but I picked this up at Ulta and really happy with that. I'M almost out of it ready. So there's that and then skincare. So you guys know about my whole acne journey. If you didn't watch that video, I will like it here, but basically my skin hair skincare has been very basic, so Vanek cream cleanser from the drugstore. It'S like eight dollars a bottle and then in the mornings. I used the as Olay as a lake acid, it's just like a lotion kind of so and then at night I've been using this and I'm always very hesitant to try it skincare. I recently tried a popular fitness brand for a couple of days and it made me break out. So not everything works for me still, but um, I'm just going to stick with what I know works and I recently included this Olay Olay and Nixon play. Annex --, an I don't know how to say it, but Olli Henriksen glow 2h dark spot toner. I use this at night before bed after I wash my face with a little cotton swab and I think the main ingredient is alpha. Hydroxy acid or eight eight AJ's in that like any, I didn't really have many dark spots for my acne, but even like. If I get a new pimple now - and it's healing this really does reduce the appearance of it over time. So I use this at night. I'Ve had this for two months now, and I've only use that much so I really don't use much at all, but it's just once a night that I use that so really really enjoying that. Okay on to the good stuff, so balance athletically, I just released their summit collection and I got a couple of pieces. I actually have more coming today, but so far I got send top and ascended leggings in you guys, so their clothing just gets better and better. Each time and I'm not just saying that, like I've, purchased all of this stuff with my own money and the send top, I have actually on right now the black one from the last launch from the journey launched. I think it was and they have improved it. So much already, so the material is just much softer. It'S not, as I guess is the right word and I think they put more links up here. So it's not as like tight, but I'm just doing it. So I really like their clothing because they're super simple and basic, and that's like my style, with both Fitness wear and like my regular clothes, I just like the basic colors, no crazy designs or anything um. So I've been really loving their pieces because it just makes them so versatile. So, like I'll wear this bra like under a normal shirt like this or like, even if I'm not working out, this is like what I wear and then the leggings. So these are the Ascend leggings. This is the I forget what color pink they called it, but I have the assembly gangs from the last launch too, and they are much improved, so the material is more like spandex II like athletic. The last pair, I feel, is more Connie. If that makes sense, I will say that, like in comparison to the Lululemon aline pant, i think that's like a universal pant. Everybody kind of knows balance what these the top part comes in a little bit. So if you're not used to having it be kind of tight around here, you might not like them on. I personally was like in at first and then after wearing room a few times. I really do like the feeling of it. I mean they just stay up better for me, so super flattering I'll put a video here of me squatting and then past the squat test. The inside is still really really soft, so it's almost like cottony on the inside and like not fleece, but just super soft and the outside is more like sleek and silky. If that makes sense, so really loving. These, I think I'm gon na go get some more. If there's muscle doubt but like no dog hair sticks to them because they're so silky, so that was a game-changer for me, because health care is really like everywhere, all the time so loving those and then last but not least, a little lemon. I use their bags. Don'T sleep on these, you guys like little lemon, has some great accessories. This is the purse that I use every day right now, so I will put the name of the bag here. I forget what it's called, but you can adjust the strap. I just literally put like my small, tiny wallet, my glasses case, some antibacterial soap, a little chapstick and lip gloss and then there's this front pocket. Where I put my phone and it's so convenient, I like small bags. I don't like carrying around all of these bags between the diaper bag and whatnot. So this is my everyday like purse and I love it and then I also got the backpack. So if we're like going to my parents, house or whatever traveling, this is like my carry-on bag um, so it fits my laptop there's, a separate, laptop compartment, there's this full big compartment that has some little zippers and pockets and then there's this front. Little compare where you can put like your phone or whatever, and it's just super cute. I think it's nice and sleek there's a side, that's pocket on each side for water bottles or whatever, and I just been mopping it so fines from Lulu Lemon that I love - and that concludes this video. So all the links will be down in the description. I hope you guys enjoyed this and they're gon na get some new things to try. I will always be honest with you and tell you the truth. As you guys know, I don't work with brands or I don't promote things that just I don't use our love. So this is everything I'm loving lately, give it a thumbs up if you enjoyed it, and I will see you in the next video - hey
