    GIFT IDEAS FOR ANIMAL LOVERS

    One // Two // Three // Four // Five // Six // Seven // Eight // Nine // Ten // Eleven

    Have a friend you’re constantly tagging in corgi memes (ME)? Love someone who would rather spend time with their cat? If you’re looking for gift ideas for animal lovers in your life, you’ve come to the right place! As I mentioned in my Gifts for Travelers guide, I wanted to create a list of gift guides that are quirky and unique enough for every friend in your circle. This was probably my favorite guide to put together because I’m a proud dog mom and aspiring cat mom (which is unlikely because I’m SO allergic to them). I hope these awesome pet-loving products will put a smile on the face of someone you love.

    For all who are working to give their pets a better life, this one is for you…

    Sensitive Skin? Me Experience with Olay Whips Fragrance-Free

    I’m a card-carrying member of the sensitive skin club. Raise your hand if you’re prone to breakouts and reactions when you use abrasive products. As a beauty blogger, I used to be plagued with acne and eczema when I would try new products that didn’t jive with my sensitive skin. In recent years, I’ve learned my lesson and have switched to a fragrance-free regimen with encouragement from my dermatologist. Olay has been a brand in my medicine cabinet for YEARS, so I was thrilled when the brand launched Olay Whips Fragrance-Free.

    How to Style a Teddy Coat

    How to Style Brown Teddy Coat and Black Jeans - Fall Fashion on Cup of Charisma

    When the cold fronts say hey, the coats come out to play. That may not be a real saying, but I’ve been holding out for cold weather in Houston. We finally had our first cold front of the season in mid-October, so I wasted no time in getting one of the largest staples of the fall/winter: the teddy coat. I decided to style a teddy coat rather than a traditional peacoat because I believe in a future where our clothing is as soft as our stuffed animals. You can quote me on that.
