Sanrio and Skincare: Riley Rose Winter Beauty Haul

Last weekend while I was in downtown Chicago, I went to my favorite non-clothing store, Riley Rose. For those of you who don't know, Riley Rose is Forever 21's beauty and gifts store. They have tons of makeup, hair, and beauty products and a ton of fun home/gifts stuff, like pens, stationery, and home decor. Inside of the store is all white and pink and super pretty and fun, so I love the atmosphere.

Now that it's officially winter, I realized it was a great time to buy and try some new beauty products. The cold, dry winter air is no fun, and I as get older, I realize I need to take better care of myself, not just in the general terms of health and not getting sick. So scroll down to see what I bought at Riley Rose! (Click the name of the product to shop it online.)

The Creme Shop x Sanrio Chococat Handy Dandy Hand Cream

Whose hands don't get super dry in the winter? I can't go a single winter without buying new hand cream. I'd already bought some earlier this year, but it doesn't last too long, and I don't think having too much hand cream is a bad thing. So when I saw this limited edition one, I immediately tried some from the sample. Chococat's always been one of my favorite Sanrio characters, and the shea butter in the cream makes it a great hand cream. It's much better than the cheap one I currently have.

A Royal Countdown with The Disney Princesses 12 Days of Socks Box

For the past 12 days, I discovered a new pair of Disney Princess-related socks in the Disney Princesses 12 Days of Socks box I bought from Target. I'd never done an advent calendar, 12 days of Christmas box, or anything like this before, so I was excited about getting this box and having something to open every day. Plus, I love Disney and the Disney Princesses and was in need of more socks, so this seemed like a great fit.

To see close-ups of the socks and box itself, head to my Instagram and view the "12 days of 👸🏻🧦" story highlight.

My November Favorites

November was a pretty eventful month as I saw new musical productions, tried new restaurants, heard new music, and read new books. I even put together a lot of new outfits with some new clothes, which was evident in my November OOTD post titled "New November". So I had some favorites from all over the place last month.

Blush pink Gap bomber jacket from TJ Maxx

If you saw my October Shopping Roundup or November OOTD post, this jacket should be familiar. I won't say too much about this since it's already been in two of my blog posts, but this has easily become one of my favorite coats. Also, I always feel the need to mention how it reminds me of Regina George's jacket.
