My May Must-haves (beauty and health edition)

Let's just not even talk about how long it's been since I blogged. :) I'm back with another list of items I adore. Leave me a comment and tell me about something(s) that you love!

1. Loreal BB Cream. The cashier at Walgreens gave me a sample months ago. I found it about a week ago and tried it out of curiosity. I was instantly in love! I've been hearing people talk about BB Cream for months (maybe years?) now, and never knew what it was. That day I still didn't know what I was, but I know I looked airbrushed, and it felt light and easy, and I knew I would be buying some next time I went to the store. I just (right this second) googled "what is BB cream?" The best synopsis..."for women who apply a moisturizer, a primer, a foundation, a setting powder, and an SPF sunscreen every morning, BB creams seem like a small miracle. These are one-step products that can protect, conceal, and correct skin texture and tone." Voila! I'm hooked. And here is the kind I now use...

2. Jergens Natural Glow. The same day that the (very excited) Walgreens lady gave me the BB sample, she also gave me a Jergens self-tanner sample. Last month I was headed to a bachelorette party and planned on wearing a strapless dress, so I decided to try the sample. I really wasn't expecting much, but what could it hurt? There were three days in the sample and I only used the first day and saw a HUGE difference! I was so pumped! So I decided to use "day 2" before a wedding we attended last week, and still loved it! I thought you had to use it several days in a row to see a difference (that's what they market), but I guess I'm white enough that I can see color after one use! :) Anyways, I recommend it if you need some color! (and I would've never bought the "Medium to Dark" bottle, but that's the sample I received and it worked like a charm and didn't seem fake or orange, so that's what I bought. :)
3. Suave Professionals Shampoo and Conditioner. I know, right? Surprising! I've always been a bit of a shampoo snob, buying Bed Head or some other salon brand. When I was in Midland a few weeks ago, my cousins had this "rosemary + mint" shampoo and conditioner in their shower and I LOVED it! It smelled good and made my scalp tingle when I was using it, and then the best part was when my hair dried, it looked really shiny and felt so soft! I kept thinking about it, so a week later I bought some for myself. :)
Note-my sis has the Suave Professionals "almond + shea butter" and that one smells super yummy and makes my hair soft and healthy too!

 4. Arbonne shakes and nutrition bars. I've been losing weight, and I could NOT do it without my yummy Arbonne shakes. I drink one every day, and most days I drink two. They are satisfying and filling and healthy and best of all, tasty! I love the fruit bars and chocolate bars too! They're especially handy when I'm running out the door, if I know I'll be away from home for awhile. Guilt-free snack! Yum! I'm so so thankful for finding Arbonne, and I truly do believe it's the reason I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight! Can't beat that!


So what products are YOU loving these days!? Let me know!
