angela’s Favorite Things:
10. Cozy earth bamboo pajama set
I’ve finally found my perfect pajama set! Cozy Earth bamboo pajamas are the ultimate in comfort and sustainability. Made from soft, breathable bamboo fabric, they’re perfect for a restful night’s sleep. They are sold in sets or separates so you can find your perfect top and bottom combination (I own the tapered pant and tank combo). Be on the lookout for their sales, or try code “ANGELA9968” for 45% off, or new customers can use my Cozy Earth referral link for 40% off.
11. Cozy earth bamboo sheet set
We now own 2 sets, and no longer have a need for others! Cozy Earth Bamboo sheets are the perfect splurge gift for a restful night’s sleep. Made from sustainably sourced bamboo, they’re SO incredibly soft, breathable, and temperature-regulating. Be on the lookout for their sales, or try code “ANGELA9968” for 45% off, or new customers can use my Cozy Earth referral link for 40% off.
12. lululemon easy access crossbody bag
I use mine daily! The Lululemon Easy Access Crossbody Bag is the perfect blend of style and functionality. It is the perfect size for essentials like phone, wallet, and keys. I think it’s a thoughtful and practical gift at a great price point.
13. tree hut sugar scrub
If you’re looking for a much lower price point, or something you can combine as part of a bundled gift, or you just want some self-care after a long holiday shopping trip, the Tree Hut Sugar Scrub is a luxurious treat for the skin. Made with natural exfoliants and nourishing oils, it gently buffs away dead skin while leaving your body soft, smooth, and glowing. I’ve linked to Amazon here for convenience, but I’ve also purchased at Target where you have the added benefit of being able to smell them for yourself!
14. pura car diffuser
In my on-going effort to remove toxic fragrances from our lives, I discovered the Pura brand clean home and car fragrances. The Pura Car Diffuser is a much cleaner way to have your car smelling fresh and a great replacement for the toxic, headache-inducing hanging air fresheners. They now have a battery powered version but the USB plug-in has worked perfectly for me as well. Scents are customizable and you can usually save money by ordering a scent subscription.
15. primally pure plumping skincare
A new favorite in my clean skincare arsenal, Primally Pure Plumping Serum is the perfect retinol-alternative gift for glowing, youthful skin. The entire collection combines natural ingredients to hydrate, firm, and rejuvenate the skin. My Primally Pure Referral link gives $10 off for first time orders of $50+.
16. lululemon dance studio mid-rise pants
I not only already own a pair, but I have also added a second color to my own list this year! Lululemon Dance Studio Mid-Rise Pants are the perfect blend of comfort and versatility. Made with a soft, stretchy fabric, they’re designed for everything from workouts to casual wear. They are very flattering and although a splurge, you can sometimes find them on sale in their “We Made Too Much” section.
17. thrive causemetics perfect eye palette
My list would not be complete without the Thrive Causemetics Perfect Eye Palette, specifically in warm neutrals. 😉 Take a look at our social media and you will see that I was honored with being chosen to have one of the colors in the Warm Neutrals palette named after ME! And not only is it toxic-free, clean makeup, for every purchase, Thrive Causemetics donates to help communities Thrive, so your gift goes far beyond just your recipient. <3 My Thrive Causemetics Referral link gives $10 off for first time orders of $50+.
18. Little words project bracelets
Speaking of Thrive Causemetics, they gifted me Little Words Project Bracelets as part of my namesake announcement package and I LOVE them! These bracelets are a meaningful and stylish way to wear a message of empowerment. I love the Mental Health Duo I’ve linked here, but there are SO many other great sayings that would fit any gift recipient. And if you can’t find the perfect one, you can customize your own!
