How to Get Organized for the New Year

We could all use some organization! Everyone has a way that they like to stay organized and I’ve tried a few different ways. The latest is this schedule from Target! It was a great find for only $3!

I love this because it comes with a variety of sticky notes to add in anything you could need! Like appointment times and grocery lists.

This was my list for this week. I just added a few examples of things I need to get done or what I am doing.

My Skincare Top Picks

Skincare is so important to most women these days! We all have our favorite products and things that we absolutely swear by. I have a few products that have totally changed my routine!

My number one product that has saved me many times and helps me get ready for bed even quicker is Micellar Water!

My next favorite is Clean and Clears moisturizer! Moisturizing is so so important and this one feels amazing on! It feels very cooling on the skin!

Last for helping to fight those annoying breakouts I always turn to Mario Badescu!

These are just a few products that I have been using for years that I really love and that I know work!

My Holiday Gift Guide For Everyone on Your List

Shopping for everyone on your list can be a little tricky but there are three places that I guarantee you will find something at- Target, Nordstrom, and of course Amazon!

For the women in your life you can’t go wrong with something customized! You can customize pretty much anything! Do they drink wine? You can customize a wine glass! Are they obsessed with writing in a planner or journal? You can customize that!

Next I would say get them something that smells good! This can be a candle or perfume or some stuff from Lush! I personally love receiving perfume for Christmas because I don’t love splurging on it for myself, so it’s an amazing gift to get!

Third I love giving and receiving cozy things! Blankets and fuzzy socks or even comfy sweaters! For my boyfriends birthday I got him a fuzzy blanket from Nordstrom that is so soft and such good quality! In Nordstrom they also currently have someone there monogramming those blankets! I think that adds a nice extra touch for a gift.

I always say men are a little harder to shop for…being a woman I feel like I can figure out what the women in my life would like based off of things I’ve seen or would also like to receive myself! This year I got my dad a throw blanket for his sofa and A Star is Born on dvd because he hasn’t seen the new one yet. His birthday is right before Christmas and I got him a customized money clip with something funny engraved on it. I found the money clip on Amazon and it was really reasonably priced!

I won’t say what I got my boyfriend just in case he decided to keep up with my blog. But after I got all of his gifts together I found a lot of things I thought he would like! One thing was a back massager. There are so many different options out there for massagers. You can get a chair massager or one that’s much smaller. Another great gift is a gift card to a spa for a massage!

Gift cards can be a great option and some people say they are impersonal but I always love getting them! It’s also fun if you can throw together something to go with the gift card! You can easily make it really personal to the person you are buying for!

Fun Holiday Date Nights With a Twist

Hey guys! I am so excited to start getting some holiday content out there for you. The other day when I was browsing the “dollar” section at Target I found the cutest Christmas tree countdown. It wasn’t a regular advent calendar though! It came with scratch off stickers so you can write whatever you want underneath them and scratch them off as you go through the month of December!

I loved this idea to make the holidays a little more fun for my boyfriend and I! Also if you’re like us, you may sometimes have a hard time thinking of what to do for date nights. I wrote down a date for each day and left some open for “free spaces”. It’s not exactly practical to go on a date everyday but I figured we can scratch a few off at a time and some of these can be combined to make a really great date night/day!

These are just a few of the ideas that I came up with that I thought we would both really enjoy doing together!

I hope this inspires you guys to come up with some festive date ideas! Or even a fun girls night!

Renew and Reboot

Hi guys! I’m excited to announce that I’m rebooting the Busy Brunette Blog! I want to start posting weekly content on this platform again. With that being said I thought a great way to kick off restarting my blog would be to do 10 random facts about me!

1. I own a few race horses. Having them helps me pay off my school!

2. I am about to be a Real Estate Agent

3. I have a horse named Ed

4. My favorite season is spring. Specifically an Arizona spring

5. I am launching a Shopify store

6. I have seen How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days more than any other movie

7. My biggest pet peeve is when people drive slow/don’t use their turning signal

8. The Office is my favorite show to watch right before bed

9. I mostly listen to Country music. It’s my favorite music to drive to and also my favorite to see live

10. I would rather invest in some Lululemon leggings then get a fancy dress
