My Top Five Ride or Die Items
We all have those products or items in our lives that are our go-to, can't live without things. Just like you, I have a lot that I would classify as my ride or die, take to a desert island with me items. I definitely have more than 5 (I mean really, who can narrow it down to only 5), but for the sake of this post, I chose my top 5, most used items, things that I think you all would love, maybe even some of you use as well!
I have been a fan of Blair Ritchey Handbags for so many years-basically when she started making handbags! They are so well made and designed with function and style in mind. Plus, Blair herself is such a gem. I have a lot of her handbags, but I have to say the Mini Penn Carryall is my favorite. For being the size that it is, it holds so much. I love that I can carry it as a crossbody bag or as a backpack!
Right now its available in a gorgeous black, green (called Loden) and Chestnut! I have the Chestnut and a limited cheetah print (total splurge but I use it alllll the time).Her bags are definitely an investment as I have said before when I share her products, but they last. They are bags that lean more towards a classic and functional style as opposed to trendy, so they can be used year after year (and they last...some of her bags I have had for SO long)
I became a fan of Megababe a couple of years ago and my life has never been the same! From the Bust Dust to the deodorant, I am a lover of all things MegaBabe!
Their Sunny Pits Deodorant is a daily use for me. I personally love it more than their Rosy Pits. For some reason I find it works better than the Rosy Pits. Something about Sunny Pits is so refreshing! I am a sweater as well and this helps control that!If you have problems with chafing, their Thigh Rescue is the best solution! I use it during the warmer months when wearing dresses or skirts. It is the best anti-chafe stick! I can't recommend it enough.The Bust Dust is another can't-live-without item of theirs. Boob sweat is no joke and something that I know happens to us all. Made with lavender and chamomile, it is super gentle on the skin and does a great job at preventing that dreaded boob sweat!'
Megafresh Wipes are something I always have on me. I like to use them just to freshen up when I feel it's needed and are perfect for front and back use. Love them!
I've shared my love for my Spanx Faux Leather leggings on more than one occasion-they are just such a great, everyday staple and are so versatile! I have had mine for a few years and still love them just as much as when I got them!I have my style session saved to my highlights on Instagram-I love how many different ways they can be worn! I recommend sizing up as I think they do run a little bit on the smaller side. Being 5'4" I opted for the petite length-they just fit so much better!
I love dry shampoo just as much as the next gal. It is something that I feel like I can't live without! I have tried so many different dry shampoos, and I always find myself going back to Kristin Ess' Dry Shampoo. It's easily accessible (available at Target) and it gets the job done. This is a product I always have on hand!I use this product daily both in the morning and at night before bed. At night I spray throughout my hair, focusing on the roots, I do not rub in and put it in a ponytail so it absorbs the oils! I feel like it helps prolong the life of my hair in between washes!
I am not one to wear a lot of lipstick, or wear bold colors. I also tend to gravitate towards a matte finish rather than glossy or shiny. I love this Glossier lipstick because it applies easily (I don't need a mirror), its buildable and its also subtle.I haven't tried any of the colors other than Cake, but I love the look of them! Cake is my favorite because its just so neutral. It gives my lips a little bit of color without being too loud! I currently have the color Zip in my cart-it looks so gorgeous!
While I am chatting about Glossier, I will say that I am also a huge fan of Boy Brow. It does a great job and makes filling in my browns super easy and fool proof which I need because brows aren't my thing!
