THE BEST OF 2022

From beauty to shows, here’s what I especially loved this year.

BEAUTY

+ THIS Form Factor Lipliner in ‘Define’: I obviously love all the products we have in my beauty brand, but this liner is my top pick since it’s so versatile. You can read more about my new brand here.
+ Armani Luminous Silk Foundation: The best of the best.
+ L’oreal Telescopic Mascara: I’m on my third tube of this and can’t see myself changing it up anytime soon. The wand is perfection.
+ Solawave Blue Light Facial Wand: I use this daily and I love how this feels on my skin. I really do think it has helped with texture and tone.

CLOTHES

+ Target Tank: My most worn tank of the year. It’s truly so flattering and for $8, you can’t go wrong. I wear it so much that I ended up buying two. It’s TTS; in a small. In case you’ve missed it in 2022, I started a series where I break down my absolute favorite basics of each category (jeans, leggings, tanks, button-downs, etc) which you can read here.
+ Lili and Bean Mini Bag: The bag you’ve seen me wear non-stop the last few months (evidence here, here, and here). If you’re into mini bags in general, I think this is a great mid-price option but I have even more options in this post.
+ New Balance 327 Sneakers: Can’t go wrong with these in any color combo. Comfy and I like how they look with jeans, leggings, biker shorts, etc.

PODCASTS

+ The Toast: A very easy listen that will make you LOL.
+ World’s First Podcast: Another one that’s easy to listen to while you’re multi-tasking. They’re sisters who have great banter.
+ Life with Marianna: Marianna Hewitt is someone who I’ve always looked up to in the influencer space. I love her guests and learning from them.
+ The Skinny Confidential Him & Her: They have such interesting guests and are really good interviewers.

SHOWS

+ White Lotus: If you like dark comedy. There are 2 seasons and both are great.
+ The Patient: Also dark, but really good.
+ Better Call Saul: We finally got around to watching this which has been popular for a while now.
+ RHOBH: Because duh!

OTHER

+ Wine: Falesco Vitiano Rosso is $10 and SO GOOD.
+ Pens: I’m very picky about pens and I can’t recommend these enough. I have more of my Amazon office favorites here, btw.
+ Juna Sleep Gummies: I’ve tried a few sleep products and these are my favorite. They’re non-addicting and give no foggy feeling the next day. They work within 30 mins of taking which I like, too.
