My Must-Have October Purchases

Image
Another month has come and gone, and like many people, I did too much online shopping in October. But I promise these weren't random impulse buys—they're items I now can't imagine living without! Let's get into them. Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links; as an Amazon Associate, I earn a small amount from qualifying purchases. I appreciate your support. Beauty Blenders I've never been much of a makeup person, but the GFOUNS Mini Blender Bundle  has been a game-changer. These makeup sponges are perfect for spot-treating with a concealer or BB cream (which was my main reason for purchasing them). I don't wear foundation, so the larger blenders are a waste for me. The mini size allows me to quickly dab on a bit of coverage exactly where I need it. They save me time in the morning, blend seamlessly, and you can't beat the value at less than $15 for a pack of 30. I don't know how I lived without these!

Vitamo Hair Growth Vitamins for Thinning and Shedding

Image
As a woman in my early 40s struggling with some minor hair thinning and increased shedding, likely due to hormones (PCOS) and aging, I was eager to try Vitamo Hair Growth Vitamins . After a little over 4 weeks of consistent use, I'm happy to report a mostly positive experience so far. First, the vitamin capsules themselves. Sadly, they're on the larger side and can be difficult to swallow. I struggle with most large pills and capsules, so this isn't unique to Vitamo; however, I do wish they were a little smaller. Due to this, I have only been taking 1 per day, but I'm still seeing great results. Thankfully, they don't have an odor which I appreciate—no unpleasant smells or aftertaste.
