Every woman has products that are near and dear to her heart. Whether it falls under beauty, fashion or home décor, we’ve just gotta have it! That product can be the finishing touch for our favorite outfit or the luxury we look forward to at the end of the day. Just in time for holiday shopping, here are my top five must-haves for the tail end of 2020:
HAIR
Whether we have long, luxurious locks or curly coils, hair tools are a major part of most women’s everyday life. We brush, comb, blow dry and flat iron, but we don’t really know the damage it could cause to our hair.
The Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer is a must-have for all hair types. Although it’s pricy, this dryer is engineered to protect from extreme heat damage. It’s known for being fast, and it decreases frizz and flyways, too. You can’t beat that!
BEAUTY
The best thing we can do for ourselves is care for our skin — and a good sunscreen is a smart way to start. Some people think they only need sunscreen in the summer; that’s not true. Living on the Coast, we’re always exposed to the sun. Even having the blinds open in your home exposes you to the sun.
I have two sunscreens that provide fantastic protection. Black Girl sunscreen is the best for people of color. It keeps you protected while using natural ingredients to help rejuvenate your face and body. My second choice is Supergoop. There’s a variety of products that help your skin year-round, and the best part is it doesn’t leave any residue. Both products have been the top sunscreens to purchase this year.
CANDLES
One thing about us girls: We love anything that smells good. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I love candles. They are comforting and ease a lot of pressure you may have felt during the day. Candle shopping is the highlight of my weekends, and T.J. Maxx is my go-to spot. Some of my favorite candles are from FORVR Mood and DW Home.
CLASSIC SNEAKERS
One thing I tend to purchase is good sneakers. I love having an item I can wear with almost any outfit and know it will work. One of my favorite shoes is the Adidas Stan Smith. It’s a classic, white sneaker that pairs nicely with anything. The best part is that it’s a unisex shoe, so everyone can look good while wearing it.
If you want to be even more trendy, try Air Force Ones. They are comfy, too, and come in different colors to match your aesthetic precisely.
ON-THE-GO BOTTLE
Not that you need another water bottle, but the Stojo cup is the best travel bottle of 2020. It’s a 20-ounce, shape-shifting cup that collapses into a sphere when you’re done drinking. You can even save space by attaching it to your bag strap, bookbag, bike handle, etc. The best part is that it’s BPA free, lead free, Phthalate free, dishwasher safe and comes in the cutest colors.
