Gift Guide for the girls who like something a little bit more weird, or cool girl gift guide. Lol. Thought these were all unique and fun gift options. Valentines day gift guide
Gift Guide for the Yoga girl or fitness wellness girl. Great options for valentines day or any gift for her on birthday or anything. If she is fitness obsessed, she won’t take this as a lose weight gesture, I think most girls want this stuff. #fitnessgiftguide #wellnessgiftguide #fitgirlgiftguide #valentinesdaygift guide #LTKGiftGuide
Valentines Day Gift Guide PART 2 Couldn’t fit everything on my last post, so check either guide related to comments Mix & match of different price ranges, but there’s nothing a girl wouldn’t like in here. little words project bracelet. Every girl ever will wear it everyday. The faith one is my favorite on colors alone. Can be religious or just have faith in yourself/ or faith in relationship. Its my fav, but love you on is cute too. Fragrance, can’t fail with chanel. Best scent ever. I’m out here dropping my secrets to success with this one, its every day. Replica beachwalk is another every day, great for someone who needs a non fragrance perfume. Comfy girls: skims shirt. Can’t fail. TTS or go one up for more comfort. Just ordered it myself. skin care girly: the cc serum best shit ever mejuri: if you’re balling out, I would die for the initial necklace and matching chain. both linked. I did link though a way cheaper alternative, and I’ve seen good reviews, for something that is only gold plated/ 13 dollars vs closer to 300+ for mejuri. If she has cartiliage pierced; the earring for this is unreal choice. I want this myself. Feel like most girls still have their claires cartiliage piece from decades ago. Sleepy skincare girl: slip anything. High end choice sexy choices: the victor & rolf is the hottest scent ever, next question. The moon juice sex vitamins are dope too; its a well known brand & such an original gift. Random but kinda fun: the cacio pepe hat is basic and cute, but for an italian pasta and butter obsessed girl, I think its cute and every day wear. #valentinesdaygift #valentinesdayguide #giftsforher #LTKunder100 #LTKGiftGuide

Favorite Powder & Cream Based Foundations. Love Nars in Laguna. Cult favorite for a reason. This is not orange, and applies very nicely for a perfect bronze. I love this for a cheek contour. Love Glossier new bronzer, solar paint, in Flare. Super easy to blend, and great quick easy makeup. Easy / Fast contour, great for a less is more and dewy look. Great for summer, and add to a beach look for I woke up like this naturally vibe. #LTKstyletip #LTKbeauty #LTKSeasonal
Safe for Sensitive Skin Face Sunscreen. Glossier sunscreen is my favorite! It is clear, smells nice, barely smells like sunscreen, and blends seemlessly with makeup. Great everyday sunscreen. SunBum- Great for the beach and a strong sun. I would wear with this with a long beach day and extra protection and prevent skin from drying.
New year new skin. Linking my favorite skin care products to beat the dry heat in the winter. Glossier & It cosmetics moisturizer Glossier eyeliner to die for! So easy to to get a good wing on the eye. Doesn’t bleed throughout the day/ or irritate for sensitive eyes/ skin. Lanege for the lips. I use it like gloss and at night. #newyearskincare #skincare #glossier #beauty #makeup

affordable everday gold hoops. Quality, had these for well over a year, maybe 2? No discoloration to gold
Every day Earrings / every day hoops from Madewell. Small or medium thin size hoops is a great way to style up any outfit. These small chunky / or thin and slightly larger sized hoops keep the look simple and classy. I have sensitive ears, and these do not bother my ears! Small chunky medium hoop in Vintage Gold. Easy for every day looks & can be still styled with formal attire. Silver Medium hoops. Love a pop of silver to style any outfit.
Dainty small freshwater pearl studs / earrings. Pearl size is 3-4mm. Seriously very dainty small! Got these off amazon, for both my first and second hole piercing. I have very sensitive ears, and these have had zero irritation, and are sterling silver. I shower with them, and nothing has fallen off so far or broke. The backs stay on tightly. Easy 24/7 earrings, especially great for second hole piercing. #earrings #amazon #simplestyle #simple #natural #everydaywear

Listing My Favorite Hair care products right now! Obssessed with Ouai products if you can’t tell. Safe for color treated hair, moisturizing, and great for someone focusing on hair health. Favorite product is the finishing creme, and I’m loving how light the hair oil is on my ends. And it can be applied before the blowout. Been looking for a good dry shampoo, so far and this one wins, in terms of not being so white on the roots, not too much fragance/ smell, leaves a good texture etc.
to hydrate bleached/ color treated hair, I tried this out. So far so good! I use detox apple cider shampoo linked in my last before hand. Let this sit, and then follow with regular shamp/ conditioner.
Reviewing OUAI products! Posting blog post soon on balancedwithsara.com These are my new favorite hair products. I wanted to use it for a few weeks before blogging. The shampoo and conditioner is seriously unreal, so light and smells so good! Made my hair look so much thicker after drying. Love this styling cream as a hair protectant. I was using olaplex number 6, which is still great, but I prefer this much more. It’s lighter and smells better on hair long term. (Comparing #6 only, I love #3 the hair bonding mask, which is a different product). Volume spray is great! For damp hair before drying. I spray only by the roots. The smell, keeps your hair smelling great for days! Not just when wet either. #ltkhair #ouai #ulta #haircare #shampoo #conditioner #finishingcream #hairprotectant #ltkhaircare

Cozy casual Fall outfit. Lululemon Align High Waist Groove / flare in size 2. True to size. So soft and comfy Jacket is corduroy & from zara, in ecru. 8731/ 944 However also loved the two options I linked from Madewell from nordstrom. Probably even better lasting quality. I think the warm toned option would be so cute. I absolutely need the ruby jacket from free people; so linking this, because it would look adorable in this fit as well/ same idea. I bought my hair clip overpriced at a boutique for like 20 dollars. But I read all the amazon reviews on these linked/ checked the images, and they look legit on these. My clip is definitely 3.5 inches. #LTKSeasonal

Fall shoes & headbands Shoes TTS or slightly large. Normally im probably a size 6.5 or 7 but wearing a 6 in these. Definitely reccomend the van no show socks. I have exact headbands and they do not hurt at all. Super cute and on trend for the fall and winter #LTKunder100 #LTKunder50 #LTKSeasonal
Favorite Neutral Sneakers! Great for walking, leisure, or training. Daybreaker is okay for casual runs as well. Nike Daybreaker is my number 1 favorite right now. So so comfortable, light weight, vintage look, and doesn’t irritate ankle either. Adidas NMD R1 is classic, can’t go wrong for everyday wear.
My favorite go to sneaker. Slip on, So comfortable. Like walking on clouds, and a little boost of height. Not too hot, so great shoe for every season. If could own one sneaker, it is these. Love these because they can be walked in for hours, and the backs do not cut your ankles whatsoever. My favorite comfy shoe for all occasions. Can be dressed up or down. Vince Warren Slip on sneaker I love these in grey or off white for every day wear. Black would be cute too, especially if you like to wear black often. Black are currently on sale for about half off from nordstrom rack. I linked both! As well as another cute slip on mule that would be a great summer option. Although, a full sneaker has more year round use: Runs TTS #vince #everydayshoe #LTKshoecrush #LTKsalealert #LTKstyletip

My new go to summer perfume & summer fragrance. This smells like summer and is perfect for the beach & ocean lovers. Scent is Beach Walk by Replica. Its light yet warm, fresh yet musky. If you want to smell like beach goddess, this is for you. No regrets on this purchase #LTKbeauty #LTKSeasonal #LTKunder100
Daily face wash / face cleanser Clean beauty products / aesthetic face wash cute for countertops Made of glass & absolutely love this product. Been using for a couple months now.

Lululemon Travel Bags/ Duffle. Perfect gym bag, yoga bag, work bag, or Carry On for your trip. Love how durable these are, and hopefully last a while! I am always running around, so I love a bag that has compartments for wet clothes after the gym, padded area for laptop/ computer, water bottle holder, and other areas to store stuff. The city adventure duffle is a great gym bag overall. I like the look of it, and is a great compact bag in size. If I could only choose one, the Go Getter Bag 2 is sleek, and really expands in size, or becomes smaller if you have less. This works as an everyday bag or travel as a result. It also includes two water bottle holders (which the duffle does not). I would say this bag has a durable feel to it/ structure. These each hold everything! I got both, because I feel both on the weekends. I feel organized having everything ready to go in 2 bags.
THE ONLY makeup bag you need. Amazing for a travel makeup bag to take your makeup and stay organized in one bag. Also works great just to organize your makeup, brushes, at home. It features another zip side as well, with large mesh pockets. Great for storing larger palettes/ any other miscellaneous items Love this because the dividers are adjustable, and you can make it fit your makeup for all different sizes. I ordered this in size Medium and it fits SO much. This is a must have for life & the quality is there. It’s built like a suitcase and I have no concerns for my more delicate palettes breaking.
Lululemon Wallet / City Street Card Case! Perfect small wallet for cash and cards.
