As someone still early in my adulthood… or at least that’s what it feels like. (In my head I am still a teenager). I spend a lot of time looking for things that make this “adulting” thing easier. By easier, I mean I usually stumble upon them while scrolling down social media. Just like half of the people my age, I assume. I find that shopping for essentials has become a form of therapy and self-care for me these days. It’s definitely one of the good parts of life!
So, I think it’s only right that I share with you guys 5 things that TikTok made me buy.
Olly Laser Focus Gummies
If you are someone who struggles with focusing or just has 1000 things on their mind at once, these gummies are great. At first, I thought it may have been a placebo effect and people were just imagining that they were getting a lot of tasks done because of the gummies… Until I got them myself. It doesn’t give me a weird hyperactive feeling, which I was afraid of. I find myself not only finishing tasks on my to-do list, but actually WANTING to finish the tasks on my to-do list.
Kettlebell
In this new year, I want to focus on my physical health, just as much as I focus on my mental health. And I guess Tiktok got the memo. My “For You” page has constantly pushed kettlebell workouts onto my feed, so I gave in. And yes, I feel the burn!
Bio-Oil
This is for people with sensitive skin, MY people! It’s hard to find products that will cater to our moisturizing needs. But, Bio-Oil has been great for lightening scars and stretch marks for me.
Disclaimer: I do use it along with a few other products. However, I do see a noticeable difference in my skin when I do use it vs when I don’t. I’ll make a separate post on my skin routine.
Pimple Patches
I have dealt with acne pimples and scarring since I was 10 yrs old. It’s always been an insecurity of mine and I experienced breakouts frequently growing up. I wish I had pimple patches then. Pimple patches, specifically the Avarelle pimple patches, have made pimples disappear overnight for me. I can go to sleep with Pamela the talking pimple and wake up to just little ole me. It’s one of my favorite finds EVER!
Hair Dryer Bonnet
I am a natural hair girly through and through. I love my puffs, fros, twist-outs, braid-outs, 2-strand twists, and flexi rod sets. You name it, I love it. But being someone who loves to alternate hairstyles, you have to know the importance of deep conditioning. And having a deep conditioning cap makes the process so much easier than sitting under a hair dryer. Now I’ll be honest, I have a previous cap that I’ve had for years that has flaxseeds inside that heats up. But, I’m transitioning away from my beloved flaxseed cap into a new one by Granteva that attaches to a blow dryer because well… I think at this point the seeds are burnt in the old one. LOL So I’ll keep you updated on how this new one works!
If you have some TikTok finds that you can no longer live without, let. me. know. I love trying out new products!
