September Favorites
I feel like I never have new favorites to talk about each month. I tend to use the same things over and over, but there are a couple new things I tried this month that I really did love. Check them out below!
Smart Sweets – If you know me, you know I’m obsessed with gummy candy. I honestly don’t even like chocolate very much. Shock…I know, people think I’m crazy, but I’ll take gummy bears over a chocolate bar any day of the week. Trader Joe’s gummy mango candy, I could eat half a bag in one sitting. However, the last couple of years, I have generally been trying to lower my consumption of processed sugars (and sugar in general). That being said, I haven’t been eating as much gummy candy as I used to, which is a good thing. However, I’ve been following Smart Sweets on Instagram for quite some time. I had never tried them because honestly, they are expensive! I don’t recall exactly why, probably because I had them as “saved for later” in my Amazon cart and was making an Amazon purchase, I decided to get them. What’s great is that eat serving only has 3 grams of sugar, and there aren’t any sugar alcohols or fake sweeteners that can irritate your stomach. They do not disappoint, and I’ve tried both the Fruity Gummy Bears and the Sour Gummy Bears. They recently came out with two plant-based products Sweet Fish and Sour Blast Buddies. I don’t know about you but I loved Swedish Fish and Sour Patch Kids when I was younger….who am I kidding I still do. I’m excited to try the Smart Sweets versions of them! I definitely would not recommend eating these everyday, or anything like that. However, they are a great alternative to the standard gummy candy you can find in stores. They make a fun treat for road trips or anytime you want a little gummy treat!
Tatcha Silken Pore Perfecting Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 35 PA+++ – If you read my post about the items I picked up at the Sephora Fall Appreciation Sale, you would know that I picked up this primer. I have a few primers, because I honestly like makeup and skincare. This product was recommended my Tatianna (hey girl!), and I’m so glad I decided to get it. I think that wearing sunscreen daily is sooooo important to preventing damage to your skin. I use a Retinol cream at night, so protecting my skin from the sun is even more important. This product is so smooth and creamy, and it’s not greasy like typical sunscreens at all. That’s the reason I love it so much! 
Have you tried either of these products? If so, what did you think?
