Classically Abby - STUFF I'M LOVING ｜｜ Some of my random favorites this month!

00:00:00.000 Hello, beautiful ladies, and welcome to today's video where we're going to be talking about some of my random favorites. 0.96

00:00:08.760 So as you may notice, we are in a very different space. I don't have any of my normal lighting.

00:00:13.920 We're just using natural daylight, and I'm in a hotel.

00:00:17.660 My husband is taking the bar exam, so we're here while he takes it, and then we're moving to Nebraska.

00:00:23.840 So we just moved out of our house in Virginia, which is so crazy to think about, and now we are here.

00:00:30.000 So I wanted to talk to you guys a little bit about some random favorites.

00:00:33.420 I didn't want to talk about beauty or fashion specifically, but kind of all of the random things that I've been enjoying.

00:00:38.900 So let's start off with this Radiance Spin Care System from Duval.

00:00:43.180 So they sent this to me in the mail for me to try for you guys, and it is a, it's kind of like Clarisonic,

00:00:49.420 but it comes with a bunch of different brush heads.

00:00:51.020 So it has one that's to exfoliate your whole body, there's a pumice stone, there's a cleansing brush,

00:00:56.080 and an exfoliating brush just for your face.

00:00:58.020 And you can see here, it says four deep cleansing brushes.

00:01:01.100 So I've really been enjoying this.

00:01:03.380 I wasn't sure what I was going to think, because as you guys know,

00:01:06.060 I really like my Foreo knockoff kind of thing that I got off of Amazon.

00:01:10.700 So one of my favorite things about this has been actually the body exfoliating brush.

00:01:14.800 I have been using this because I've also been using, spoiler alert for what's coming next, an epilator.

00:01:21.360 And to prevent ingrown hairs, I wanted to exfoliate my whole body.

00:01:25.820 So I've been using this big brush here, and I'll just go over my whole body with it in the shower.

00:01:31.420 And I think it's been helping.

00:01:32.840 Although, to be fair, I still am getting some ingrowns.

00:01:35.660 I can feel that my skin feels a lot softer, and it does work pretty well.

00:01:39.540 I also like that the system doesn't stop if you press too hard, which can happen with some cheaper models.

00:01:46.620 I have a code for about 70% off, so if you want to try this, head down to the description box below,

00:01:51.280 and you can get the code there.

00:01:52.980 Now, my one thing that I'll say is that if you have sensitive skin, which I do,

00:01:58.480 don't go really hard with the brush on your face.

00:02:01.700 You'll get a little bit of irritation.

00:02:03.240 You don't need to push hard.

00:02:04.460 Just do it gently.

00:02:05.660 I exfoliate with the exfoliating brush like once a week maybe.

00:02:08.720 I generally am using the cleansing brush, but I have seen results, and I've really enjoyed it.

00:02:12.920 So the next thing I wanted to talk about were these packing cubes from Amazon.

00:02:16.740 So I had been seeing all over the internet that people were talking about how much they loved using packing cubes.

00:02:22.100 So I figured I would try and buy some because Jacob and I are going on a cruise in a couple of weeks,

00:02:26.900 which I'm very excited about, and I thought it would be nice for me to have something to help

00:02:31.280 because it's two weeks long, and I would like to have something that would help me with the packing process.

00:02:36.320 So I went on to Amazon's website, and I found these packing cubes.

00:02:39.300 Now, this comes with four packing cubes, a shoe bag, and a laundry bag,

00:02:43.740 and I really like all of the different sizes and the different bags that it comes with.

00:02:46.680 So it comes with one large bag, two medium bags, a small bag, and then the other two bags that I mentioned.

00:02:53.580 I personally love when things are organized, when I like know exactly where to find each thing,

00:02:58.260 and this helps me do that.

00:02:59.380 So I know this has my shirts.

00:03:00.620 I know another one has my undergarments.

00:03:02.300 I know another bag has my shoes, and that's just really nice for me.

00:03:05.840 And I think for people who are chronic overpackers, this is probably also helpful.

00:03:10.480 I don't really have that problem.

00:03:11.580 I don't generally pack too much, but I still like knowing where each thing is

00:03:15.840 and having my suitcase itself be pretty organized.

00:03:18.400 So this has been something I've really been enjoying,

00:03:20.340 and I'll put the link in the description box below.

00:03:22.000 So the next thing that I want to talk about is crystallite.

00:03:25.020 Now, I know that's so random, but these crystallite liquids have been a lifesaver,

00:03:29.220 especially if you put them in a cold drink on a hot day.

00:03:33.420 I sometimes find that it's hard for me to drink enough water over the course of the day,

00:03:37.000 but having something that tastes like strawberry lemonade,

00:03:39.160 this is strawberry lemonade, and this is mango passion fruit.

00:03:41.980 That really helps for me,

00:03:43.640 and it doesn't have anything bad for you in it as far as I know.

00:03:46.540 So I really like those,

00:03:48.200 and I think you can get them at basically any grocery store,

00:03:51.580 but check it out.

00:03:52.640 The next thing I want to talk about is something I've had for a while.

00:03:55.660 My husband actually bought this for me for my birthday,

00:03:58.180 the first year that we were together,

00:04:00.300 and he got me these Bose headphones.

00:04:02.380 Now, I know these are incredibly pricey,

00:04:04.680 so anything else that works like these that has noise-canceling capabilities,

00:04:08.880 I highly recommend,

00:04:10.640 but these are so great.

00:04:13.040 I've had them for two and a half years,

00:04:15.560 perfect quality,

00:04:16.500 haven't had any issues,

00:04:18.080 and they just really are so wonderful for planes,

00:04:21.840 for working in public,

00:04:22.820 because what they'll do is they have this noise-canceling capability,

00:04:26.260 and you won't really hear as much of what's around you.

00:04:28.620 So I really love them.

00:04:30.760 If you can afford them, get them.

00:04:32.060 If you can find something that works just as well for cheaper,

00:04:34.540 link them down below for other people,

00:04:36.220 because I would love to know,

00:04:37.520 and I really enjoy them,

00:04:39.560 so I think that they're worth checking out.

00:04:41.580 The next thing I want to talk about

00:04:42.720 is something I mentioned earlier in the video,

00:04:45.160 and that would be my one purchase from Amazon Prime Day,

00:04:48.820 and that is this epilator.

00:04:51.140 So I got this epilator,

00:04:52.380 which is Braun Silk Appeal 9.

00:04:54.900 It's the Senso Smart,

00:04:55.820 and the reason I decided to buy this

00:04:57.280 was because I was considering getting a wax

00:04:59.820 before we went on our cruise,

00:05:01.000 and I realized for what I wanted,

00:05:03.520 it would be almost $100,

00:05:05.040 and to buy an epilator is only $90.

00:05:07.780 Now, not only 90,

00:05:09.520 but the idea being if I got an epilator,

00:05:12.700 I could use it repeatedly

00:05:14.500 and spend the same amount that I would spend on one wax.

00:05:18.480 I got this.

00:05:19.320 I wasn't sure exactly what to expect,

00:05:21.180 and I love it.

00:05:23.000 I mean, it really is fantastic.

00:05:25.000 I haven't had to shave in two weeks,

00:05:27.460 and that's huge for me.

00:05:29.220 I usually shave every other day.

00:05:30.980 So basically, it's made my hair grow back thinner,

00:05:34.260 which is awesome.

00:05:35.340 Now, it does hurt,

00:05:36.680 but for me, for some reason,

00:05:37.980 it doesn't hurt so badly

00:05:39.160 that I would say that's a turnoff.

00:05:40.780 I mean, if you have gotten normal waxings,

00:05:42.880 I don't think it's any more painful than waxing.

00:05:45.080 I think it's about the same,

00:05:46.320 and for me, doing it myself actually helps.

00:05:49.660 So I have really been liking it.

00:05:52.080 I use it on my arms, on my legs.

00:05:54.600 I've used it on my underarms.

00:05:56.220 Actually, it wasn't that painful.

00:05:57.440 I know that I may be the only person in the world

00:05:59.660 who says that,

00:06:00.340 but it wasn't that bad.

00:06:02.320 I think I have kind of a high pain tolerance,

00:06:04.200 so that might be why,

00:06:05.360 but I have really enjoyed using it,

00:06:07.280 and it's made my skin a lot smoother,

00:06:09.100 and I don't have to shave quite as often,

00:06:11.540 which is fantastic.

00:06:13.000 The other cool thing about this epilator

00:06:14.660 is that it comes with a few different heads.

00:06:16.320 So it has one that's for your legs.

00:06:17.980 It has one for more sensitive areas.

00:06:19.380 It has for your face,

00:06:20.440 and then it doesn't actually have a battery.

00:06:23.100 So you use a charger, it charges,

00:06:25.520 and I've found that the charge lasts a while.

00:06:27.740 They say I think it only lasts about 45 minutes.

00:06:30.040 I've found that it lasts longer than that.

00:06:32.160 So I really like it,

00:06:34.160 and if you've never epilated,

00:06:35.880 maybe this would be a good option.

00:06:37.320 The next thing I want to talk about

00:06:38.700 is this curling iron that I got from Hot Tools,

00:06:41.980 and it's what I used to do my hair today.

00:06:44.200 I really like it.

00:06:45.280 It doesn't hold the curl as long as I would like,

00:06:47.840 but I think that might just be,

00:06:49.280 my hair doesn't hold a curl with curling irons all that well.

00:06:52.100 Normally, the only thing that will hold a curl for my hair

00:06:54.400 is a curling wand,

00:06:56.180 but I really like that this iron is not that expensive.

00:06:59.560 It does a pretty good job,

00:07:00.700 and I like the width of the curl

00:07:03.000 because this is an inch,

00:07:04.700 and it gives a really nice loose curl

00:07:07.260 and look to the hair.

00:07:09.160 It also makes my hair look really shiny when I'm done,

00:07:11.600 and it has all of these different temperature settings,

00:07:14.360 so you can do what works for you.

00:07:17.000 My hair doesn't hold a curl,

00:07:18.660 so I actually have to use a higher temperature,

00:07:20.340 but if your hair holds a curl at a lower temperature,

00:07:23.520 you have that option,

00:07:24.660 which is also really great,

00:07:25.980 and I think I got this at Ulta,

00:07:28.000 and it was, again, it wasn't that expensive,

00:07:29.800 so that's pretty nice.

00:07:30.980 Now, the last thing that I want to mention

00:07:32.220 is this skincare brand called Fleur & Bee,

00:07:34.880 and they sent me these things to try

00:07:37.060 so that I could try them out for you guys

00:07:38.660 and let you know whether I like them,

00:07:40.040 and I have to tell you,

00:07:41.700 I am impressed.

00:07:43.600 All of this has natural ingredients

00:07:45.060 and no nasty toxins,

00:07:46.520 and it's not very expensive

00:07:48.220 as opposed to more high-end natural skincare lines.

00:07:53.220 It's a little bit pricier for me

00:07:55.180 since most of the stuff that I own is drugstore,

00:07:57.100 but I think I'm going to repurchase some of these products

00:07:59.520 because they're so good.

00:08:01.380 So they sent me four things.

00:08:02.940 The first thing they sent me

00:08:03.900 is the Rose & Shine Refreshing Rose Water Toner.

00:08:07.240 I usually use this only at night,

00:08:09.160 and this feels really nice on the skin,

00:08:10.940 and it doesn't leave any residue.

00:08:12.320 You just spray it on, wait a couple seconds,

00:08:14.540 and it dries down.

00:08:15.440 The next thing that I do

00:08:16.460 is I go in with this Nectar of the Sea

00:08:18.960 Rejuvenating Vitamin C Serum.

00:08:21.980 Let's talk about this.

00:08:23.460 This is fantastic.

00:08:25.380 First of all, it smells really nice,

00:08:28.020 and I have heard that other vitamin C serums

00:08:31.660 don't always have a nice scent.

00:08:33.140 As well, I find it's kind of crazy.

00:08:35.960 So you put this on,

00:08:36.860 it leaves your skin a little tacky,

00:08:38.260 and then the next morning,

00:08:40.480 all of my pigmentation,

00:08:42.880 any acne scarring,

00:08:44.200 is visibly lighter.

00:08:45.780 Like, everything fades so much faster

00:08:48.120 using this product,

00:08:49.260 and that is amazing to me

00:08:50.980 because if I get any scarring on my face

00:08:53.680 or anything like that,

00:08:54.580 it usually takes a couple of weeks,

00:08:57.200 even months,

00:08:57.960 for those things to fade,

00:08:59.080 and using this,

00:08:59.800 I've seen improvement overnight,

00:09:01.600 and that's amazing.

00:09:03.420 They also sent me an eye cream

00:09:05.360 and a moisturizer.

00:09:06.320 So this is the Creme de la Creme

00:09:08.060 Moisturizing Face Cream,

00:09:09.520 and this is the Eyes Eyes Baby

00:09:11.040 Anti-Aging Eye Cream,

00:09:12.640 and I like them both a lot.

00:09:14.640 My face feels so soft in the morning

00:09:16.980 after I use them,

00:09:17.680 so I really, really like this brand.

00:09:20.080 I know 1% or a small percentage

00:09:22.040 of their proceeds goes to charity,

00:09:24.200 which is really great,

00:09:25.620 and I'm just,

00:09:26.720 they were so nice.

00:09:27.580 They sent me, like,

00:09:28.120 the cutest little letter in the mail.

00:09:29.860 They sent all of this to me for free

00:09:31.780 so that I could try it out for you guys,

00:09:33.300 and I have to say I've really enjoyed it.

00:09:35.800 And that's everything.

00:09:36.840 Thank you guys so much
