It’s been a minute since I’ve shared a beauty update on my favorite products. I have so many tried and true favorites that I’ve used for years, but also a few new ones that I’m excited to tell you about. Today I want to focus on my new night serum that I’ve been using for the last 6 weeks! Last month Biossance provided me with their brand new Squalane + Retinol Night Serum to try out and see what I thought. My results are fantastic, and it’s now my new Clean Beauty favorite! It just launched this month so it’s available for purchase today!

You may be wondering what Squalane is? Squalane is a mega-moisturizing oil! The body produces its own version (known as Squalene), but your ability to produce and retain it decreases as you age. Biossance has found a way to derive their 100% plant based squalane sustainably from sugarcane. It’s so good that it’s featured in every one of Biossance’s products. It not only replenishes your body with what it once had, it also makes your skincare ingredients work harder for you! And in this Night Serum’s case, it boosts both Retinol and Retinal! Retinol is basically the gold standard skincare ingredient, and my dermatologist has long advised me to use it.

All of these ingredients work together to improve fine lines, blemishes, and dark spots, and overall brighten your complexion! I’ve noticed a difference in my skin tone in the time that I’ve been using the Squalane + Retinol Night Serum! Its potency is closely related to RX strength so you should start by using it on your face 2X per week (at night) and gradually increase. I now use it nightly. I’d like to stress the importance of wearing sunscreen each day after you use it since it’s so potent!

This Squalane + Retinol Night Serum is part of my daily skincare regimen. I even pack it with me when I travel! Now that I’m 40 I’m taking my skincare more seriously than ever! I’ve been trying a lot more of Biossance’s products, too, after seeing Reese Witherspoon talk about them on her instagram. What’s good for Reese is good for me.

You can learn more about this new Biossance serum, along with all of their other celeb-favorite products, on their website! Also you can use code LOVE20 for 20% off all full size products and set from now until 11/20 (excludes virtual bundles and travel size products).

Riedel Ouverture 12 Red Wine Stem Set:

Pay for 8 wine glasses and get 4 for free with this Riedel Wine Glass Set! You can never have enough wine glasses on hand when entertaining, and this set makes it easy to stock up! If you’re low on kitchen storage I suggest saving the box for easy and safe storage! This makes an excellent holiday gift, too!

Castaway Touch Screen Mirrored Jewelry Cabinet:

This Mirrored Jewelry Cabinet was an early gift for Lilly. It’s been on her holiday/birthday wishlist that she started making back in the summer, lol. There are a few things that make this storage cabinet so awesome. First it can either hang over a door or mount on your wall. We hung Lilly’s on the inside of her closet door so that it’s out of the way but still very easy to access. Another great thing about it is that the exterior full length mirror is a touch screen LED light! This is such a fun detail and great for make up application. I also like that it is equipped with a lock so you can safely store valuables. It’s really spacious with smart storage space, and it’s lined with velvet to protect your jewelry from scratches. It’s an awesome gift idea for anyone who needs a little glamour in her life, or a little organization!

Here are some more of my favorite finds from this Holiday season from The Home Depot finds for this holiday season!

Kitchen Storage Jars – Easiest way to make your pantry beautiful and get organized!

Ginger Jar – Decorative simply on its own, and doubles as a beautiful vase for flowers.

Massage Chair – This might be the first massage chair that I would happily put in my house. I love the look of this modern chair! It’s under $1000 and the reviews are incredible!

Wooden Shelves – The woven detail on these floating shelves make them special.

Glass Hurricanes – These will be beautiful in your holiday tablescape!

Counter Stools – It’s nice to have extra counter stools on hand when company comes, especially since everyone always gathers in the kitchen!

Oval Mirror – A beautiful and classic oversized mirror that could be used in any room! Would be a nice upgrade over a bathroom vanity.

Memory Foam Bed Topper – This memory foam bed topper is gel & aloe infused, and a great update for some of your older mattresses.

Scalloped Baskets – Cutest storage baskets for decluttering in the new year!

Animated Santa – I think every kid would love this life-size, animated Santa holiday decoration!

My new Le Creuset 4.5qt Classic Oval Cast Iron Dutch Oven is on special today only at QVC for only $219.98! It’s the perfect excuse for me to re-share one of my best recipes that I shared probably 12 years ago! I still get messages about my White Chicken Chili. It’s a house favorite and it’s so easy to make. And nothing produces a better batch than cast iron, so I’m thrilled about my new Le Creuset!

Fun fact, Le Creuset’s US headquarters is here in Charleston so they’re a big favorite around here! This is my 4th piece. They’re so well made and are really easy to cook with. Plus they’re especially gorgeous! The special value price on QVC is good for today only so you probably shouldn’t sleep on this deal. There are 10 gorgeous colors to choose from! The Dutch Oven shape is perfect for slow-cooking, braising, roasting, baking and more. And it’s oven-safe as well as dishwasher-safe!

Like I said above, I originally shared this white chicken chili recipe probably 12 years ago. It’s so popular that people still message me about it. It’s so easy and so delicious that I decided to share it again!

WHITE CHICKEN CHILI RECIPE:

1 T EVOO or Butter

4-5 Garlic Cloves

1 t Ground Cumin

1.5 t Ground Oregano

1/4 t Cayenne

3 C Shredded Cooked Chicken (I use Rotisserie)

(1-2) 4 Oz Cans Chopped Green Chilis

(2) 2 Oz Cans Great Northern Beans (drained & rinsed)

6 Cups Chicken Stock (I like Progresso)

2-3 Cups Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

Heat up the evoo or butter over low to medium heat and saute the garlic. Add the chicken, chilis, and spices. I usually let this all hang together for about 2 minutes or so. Next, add the beans and the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 1.5-2 hours. Remove from heat and add the cheese. It’s ready to serve, and is great with even more cheese on top!

One of my most favorite cookware brands, Our Place, just launched their Black Friday Sale early!! Right now through Nov 28th you can take up to 30% off your full price purchase site-wide (minus gift cards of course)! It’s their biggest sale of the year so it’s time to upgrade any cookware pieces for your kitchen for holiday cooking, as well as knock out some holiday shopping! They launched so many new pieces this past year so there are gifts at every price point! Here are some of my new favorite pieces!

MINI ALWAYS PAN:

The Mini Always Pan is JUST like her big sister the non-stick Always Pan (that I also have and love), just a little smaller! She braises, sears, steams, stains, sautes, fries, boils, serves, and stores easily! I use ours for scrambled eggs and side dishes! And of course the ceramic coating is toxic-free and non-stick!

OVENWARE SET:

I’m obsessed with this modular Ovenware Set! It comes with 3 stoneware baking dishes- the tiny bake, a side bake, and a main bake, as well as the large oven pan that is great for roasting! I love the oven pan for baking bacon. The deep sides make it easy to work with, and the non-stick coating makes clean up a breeze. It all fits together for easy storage and can even fit under your stove! It’s also SO much prettier than my old bakeware and cooking sheets!

GATHER BOWLS:

These ceramic stoneware Gather Bowls come in a duo of two: the small bowl is 8.5 inches in diameter and the large bowl is 10.5 inches in diameter. They can be used for a million things but we use these the most for salads. They’re classic and beautiful and are made to last.

A common theme that stands out with Our Place pieces is that they’re clutter free! For example the Always Pan takes the place of 8 different pieces of cookware! Many of their pieces nest and store so easily, too. My cabinet have never been so organized! Another detail that I love about Our Place is that it is woman owned with thoughtfully sourced products! Be sure to shop the Our Place Early Black Friday Sale here!
