Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser, $18

I FINALLY got my little hands on Glossier’s famed Milky Jelly cleanser, and it did not disappoint. I used it last night after I took my makeup off, and not only did it act as a very gentle cleanser, it worked as a makeup remover, too (I still had streaks of mascara left). The texture is oddly very satisfying (like jelly!) so washing my face was…fun? Idk, I’m a skincare nerd.

Lazy Oaf “Bad For You” Cardigan, $45.95 (was $71.12)

Obviously I notice the Lazy Oaf winter sale right after I declare January the month I DON’T spend money on clothes! This sweater is too cute and too cheeky and too fluffy to pass up though.

Sweaty Betty Gym Bag, $145

It’s that time of the year again when I’m reminded just how long I haven’t been to the gym and that I really ought to start going again. Maybe something that will actually motivate me is a new gym bag. This one, though a bit pricey, is chic (so you can easily bring it with you to the office), and has separate compartments inside! With this bag, you’ll be EXCITED (okay, fine, I took it too far) to go to the gym.

ALEXACHUNG Metallic Leather Ankle Boots, $190 (was $475)

These metallic Pepto pink booties are on super sale right now at Net-a-Porter, marked down from $475 to $190. I promised myself I’d take a break from buying clothes, but I might have to make an exception for these babies.

Muji Black Cotton Buds, $7.25

My brother lives in Japan and he got me hooked on these black Q-Tips. They’re better than regular white Q-Tips because you can see all the gunk. Gross? Sure. Satisfying? Absolutely.

UNIQLO Fluffy Yarn Lounge Pants, $1.90 (was $19.90)

These pants look so fuzzy-cozy-warm, and they’re on sale for the inconceivable price of $1.90 (!!!!) right now. $1.90?! That’s about as much as a pack of Skittles
