Water Enhancers
Mio
I’m proud to say I haven’t had soda in almost a week now! The key for me is to drink flavored water, or else it just isn’t happening. I’ve purchased store brand from Hannaford and Target, and so far I’ve really enjoyed Market Place Blue Raspberry. Tastes just like an ICEE! (And I just saw Wal-Mart has the same flavor in their version!) Sadly, I might have to cave and spend the extra money for Mio in order to have more flavor options. But, at least I’m getting 60+ ounces of water a day now!

China Glaze Peppermint Cuticle Oil

There was a time where I quit using cuticle oils because I thought they were aiding in my nails peeling. Now, I have no idea if that’s truly what was happening, but my nails did quit peeling… Anywho! I decided to bust out this little baby when I found it in a random nail implement drawer I have. I honestly can’t even remember when I got it, or how. I do know I didn’t get it when it was released though. Regardless, I’ve used it nightly before bed and I love the smell of it! I think I’ll try the Berry Cuticle Oil next, or the Orange Cuticle Oil.

NYC Lincoln Square Lavender Nail Polish

Besides Revlon Powder Puff, this is always a go-to nail polish for me. Doesn’t matter what season, I can always count on Lincoln Square Lavender – And it gets so many compliments too! It’s the perfect pink-purple cream polish… I honestly don’t even know what kind of color to call this! You just need to know that it’s gorgeous and you need it if you don’t own it!

Sephora Collection Supreme Cleansing Oil

This is my first true cleansing oil, and I love it! It gets all of my makeup off without feeling greasy afterwards. In fact, it leaves my face feeling quite moisturized, which is nice given the dry winter air. It has a light citrus scent that isn’t heavy at all, and the smell doesn’t linger once the oil is washed off. While I can’t compare it to MAC Cleanse-Off Oil as far as how well it works, I can say the Sephora oil is $14 for 6.4 oz. compared to MAC’s oil at $28 for 5 oz.

Vaseline Cocoa Radiant Deep Conditioning Cream
VaselineDCCream
This has been a lifesaver this winter! This is a VERY thick cream, but it goes on super smooth and helps keep my skin from getting dry. I definitely prefer this over the Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion, but I want to try mixing them – Especially since I can add some longevity to the cream’s life expectancy! I plan to eventually try the Vitalizing Body Gel Oil and Body Butter too :)

  1. You might want to check the Dollar Store. Mine has them at the register although limited flavors. I am on day 25 of what I hope to be a soda free year.
