Holiday Gift Ideas for a Glam Girl

Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday 2017 Limited Edition Refillable Lip Stick Set

OBSESSED with this brand of non-toxic yet lux makeup. They are not completely natural and organic, but they got rid of the most toxic ingredients…and they work and look incredible.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Your Man

Most of these came directly from my man, so they are legit.

Gaiam Stay-Put Yoga Towel

I don’t know about yours, but my man sweats profusely during yoga (to be fair, I do too!)
