My Autumn/Winter Essentials



Hey Everyone!
As the temperature here in Aus is definitely starting to drop, and the leaves are changing colour, there is no doubt that we are well into autumn (fall).
And as the seasons are changing I thought this would be the perfect time to recommend some of my autumn/winter must haves.

1. Moisturiser!
This is the time of year where your skin can easily dry out and get itchy. Blah! No one wants that! I recommend the Vaseline total moisture aloe fresh lotion and the Redwin sorbolene moisturiser. Both of these are great for achieving smooth and soft skin!

2. Face moisturiser
Same goes for the face, it can easily dry and become irritated in the cool weather. Lately I've been using the Aveeno daily moisturising lotion. I use this every night, and when I wake up my face feels  great! It doesn't leave my skin feeling/looking oily, which other moisturisers do. So far this has been a little treasure!

3. Lucas' Pawpaw Ointment
This  little tube of magic is an absolute essential! It's honestly the best lip balm I've ever tried, and I seem to carry it with me everywhere! Not only used to keep them luscious lips looking great, this ointment can also be used for sunburn, cuts, bites, rashes and more.

4. Cosy Socks!!!!
I'm a massive  fan of warm fluffy socks! Especially at night when the floor and bed can be chilly, a pair of these little guys makes for a happy Bella. The ones I'm wearing in the picture above are $12.95 from Dotti. Definitely recommend getting your hands on these while you can!

5. Oversized Jumpers
Whether you're heading out or chilling at home, baggy sweaters and hoodies are both fashionable and comfy.

6. Leggings
Ahh leggings, a simple item that can be thrown on with a jumper while you spend your day indoors, or worn with some boots and a military jacket for a trendy look. Either way black leggings are easy to wear and super cheap. I recently spotted some for $7 at Paper Scissors.

7. Hot Chocolate (or warm drinks of your choice)
There's nothing quite like snuggling up under a blanket with a nice hot drink. So go and grab yourself a hot chocolate or chai latte as you welcome the cooler months.

8. Vitamin C
Bit of a weird one, but there's nothing worse than catching a cold or flu. Vitamin C isn't something that our bodies hold onto, so it's important for us to take this every day. I'm not telling you to go out and buy yourself tablets, as this vitamin can be found in many fruits and vegetables. Take care of yourselves and avoid the disgusting flu!
