Product Favorites... & Brand Deals?

You know how people on YouTube have their little slogan when they open up a video? “Hey you guys, welcome back to my channel!” “Welcome back, it’s…” “On today’s video…” Well, I need one for these posts, but a less annoying version lol. Anyway, I’ve been doing a lot of reviews on different products on Instagram and surprisingly, y’all really be buying stuff I recommend lol. There’s makeup, food, clothing, and anything else I find useful/interesting that I want to share. Not everyone who reads these posts follows me on social media (links are always at the bottom of the page on mobile and top of the page on desktop) so I wanted to put together a list of things I’ve been loving… but if you do have Instagram and you’re not following me, what are you doing???

Before we get into the list, I wanted to clarify a few things about those brand deals and this blog. So far, nothing I have promoted on here or my social media is sponsored… yet. I’m currently working out some brand deals with different companies and I can’t share too many details right now but when it all comes together, you’ll be the first to know! I jokingly made a post that said I’m waiting for my Target sponsorship (well, half joking because if I get a brand deal with them my life is complete) and that turned into several DMs from brands about future collaborations. Some companies have been a little sketchy or uninteresting, but there are a few that I’m excited to work with. Those collaborations will be on Instagram - right now my blog is simply run and paid for by me (which isn’t a problem, just clarifying). I would never promote something I don’t like or don’t use, but let’s talk about some things I’m loving:

  • Neutrogena Whipped Body Balm - This is one of those “thank me later” products. It’s just silky, smooth perfection in a jar. Use it on your face or whole body for soft and hydrated skin (great for dry and/or sensitive skin). So many people have messaged me saying they went out and bought this so whenever you’re ready to cut the check Neutrogena, I’m available.

  • Simply Balanced Almond Milk - Exclusively at Target, hands down the best almond milk I’ve tried. Simply Balanced is an organic brand with all kinds of products in store. I know this is random but I figured I’d plug it because cow’s milk is so 2010. Vanilla is the best flavor!

  • Garnier Leave-In Conditioner - For all my curly-haired friends, this is the best leave-in I’ve tried and have been using for years now. Lightweight, moisturizing, non-greasy.

  • Arm & Hammer Deodorant - Don’t say I never helped y’all out. It’s cheap, goes on clear, smells great, lasts all day, and doesn’t leave stains. I’m TIRED of people smelling tart at 10 am. I’m not even going to lie, it does burn for about 10 seconds if you put it on right after shaving but other than that it’s amazing.

  • HeyDay Slim Power Bank - Great for traveling or keeping in your backpack/purse. Mine is in rose gold, but online only camoflauge and gold are available, so check in store for more options.

  • Nike Lightweight Footies - These no-show socks are perfect for athletic shoes. They have some fancy gel/silicone type material inside the sock where your heel is that keeps it from sliding off your feet when you wear shoes. Famous footwear is also having a back to school sale right now!

If you have any products you’re loving lately let me know so I can check it out! I’m always on the lookout for new things and I’ll keep adding to my favorites list in the future. I’m sooo excited for these brand deals to be revealed so keep an eye out. Subscribe if you haven’t already and I’ll see you in my next post!
