Naruko Acne Clay Cleanser: The number one reason I think my acne cleared up. The other products helped but this, I believe, was the main product. Check out my post on clearing up my acne for more information.

BB creams (Blemish Balm): I discovered BB creams early this year and it's the best foundation/tinted moisturizer I've ever used. I have more than one BB cream so I'll be doing a post comparing and contrasting them soon!!

Roc Creams: The Roc brand is light-years ahead of their time. This brand definitely prevents and treats current wrinkles. I look younger now than I did 5 years ago and I've only been using Roc creams since August.

Once Upon a Time: This is my favorite show right now. I can't wait for Sundays so I can watch what happens next on this amazing new ABC drama. 

Soren Kierkegaard: I've been reading Kierkegaard's works since 8th grade but this year I've been re-reading more of his works and I'm so glad I did. I never get tired of discovering his insights all over again.

Giovanni Direct Leave in Conditioner: This has become a staple in my haircare regimen. A little bit goes a long way and because my hair isn't classified as coily and kinky, but just really curly, I can't use heavy creams that are too thick otherwise it will weigh my hair down. This is great because I still have full body but moisturized hair.

Bliss and Adrift: These two movies have been my favorites of this year. I've seen many wonderful movies but these two really moved me.

Japanese Skincare Revolution: This book gave me the tools to really revolutionize the way I think about skincare. Without this book, I wouldn't have known where to begin with treating my acne and preventing wrinkles.

Oatmeal Face Wash: I don't eat oatmeal but I've discovered that it can be used as a face wash, exfoliant, and has excellent moisturizing properties. I use oatmeal soap, an oatmeal body wash, and an oatmeal lotion. The best decision I've every made for my body.

Chobani Yogurt: This greek yogurt is the best yogurt I've ever had. The mango, pomegranate, and strawberry flavors are the best! I'm officially obsessed!

Have a great New Year!
