Monthly Favorites: November 2024
Hey Babes!
Welcome back to the blog! Did you miss me? Alex and I spent some time with my family in Switzerland, and let me tell you—it was magical. From cozy nights by the fire to exploring breathtaking mountain views, it felt like a dream. Now that I’m back home, it’s back to business (and lots of cozy vibes).
It’s the end of the month (the next month actually) which means it’s time to share everything I tried and loved this month. As you may know, this list can include anything and everything—fashion, food, decor, makeup, skincare, and more. And because I love adding a little extra spice, I’ll be ranking each item on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being: “I cannot live without this and neither can you!”
Without further ado, here are my November Favorites!
1. Native Body Wash & Deodorant in Coconut & Vanilla
Let’s talk about the scent first—imagine a creamy, tropical paradise wrapped in warm vanilla. This duo makes every shower feel luxurious, and the deodorant works all day without irritating my skin (yay for aluminum-free!). The body wash has a rich lather that leaves my skin feeling clean but not stripped, while the deodorant keeps me smelling fresh with its cozy, sweet aroma. Perfect for self-care mornings or unwinding after a long day.

2. Tatcha Rice Wash
This cleanser has been a game-changer for my skincare routine! It’s a gentle cream-to-foam formula enriched with Japanese rice powder that exfoliates ever so lightly while hydrating the skin. My face feels baby-soft and perfectly balanced after each use—no tightness, just glowy, happy skin. Plus, the subtle fragrance and elegant packaging make it feel like a tiny moment of luxury.

3. Ouai Scalp & Body Scrub in St. Barts
The St. Barts scent is like vacation in a jar—think warm sands, tropical fruits, and a hint of coconut. This sugar-based scrub is a multitasker I didn’t know I needed. I use it to exfoliate my scalp for healthy, buildup-free roots and on my body for silky smooth skin. It’s gentle enough not to irritate but still effective. Bonus: the scent lingers, so you smell amazing all day.
Rating: 8.5/10
4. Dossier Perfume in Gourmand Orange Blossom
If you’ve been wanting a high-end fragrance without the splurge, Dossier is your answer. This particular scent is a rich, sweet, and slightly floral blend with notes of orange blossom, vanilla, and a touch of musk. It’s sophisticated but still playful, making it ideal for both day and evening wear. The lasting power is amazing—I still catch whiffs hours after applying!

5. RxBar Coconut Chocolate Protein Bar
This bar is my ultimate snack this month. It’s made with real ingredients—dates, egg whites, and nuts—and has a rich chocolatey flavor with a slight twist from the coconut. It’s perfect for busy mornings, post-workout fuel, or when you need something quick and satisfying. I love how it tastes indulgent but is actually good for you.
Rating: 9/10
6. SkinnyCow Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches
Confession: I’ve been sneaking one of these almost every night this month! These ice cream sandwiches are a perfect treat—creamy vanilla ice cream sandwiched between soft, chocolatey cookies. The portion size is just right, so you don’t feel overly indulgent, but it still satisfies those late-night dessert cravings.
Rating: 8/10
7. Love Sweat Fitness Plant Protein in Vanilla
Finding a plant-based protein powder that tastes good can be a challenge, but this one delivers. It has a smooth, natural vanilla flavor that pairs perfectly with my morning smoothies. Whether I blend it with almond milk, banana, and cinnamon or add it to oatmeal, it gives me a protein boost without any weird aftertaste. Bonus: It’s gluten-free and packed with nutrients.
Rating: 9/10
8. Olipop in Strawberry Vanilla
This isn’t just a drink; it’s a whole vibe. Olipop’s Strawberry Vanilla flavor tastes like strawberries and cream candies in soda form—but healthier! It’s low-sugar, packed with prebiotics, and fizzy enough to satisfy any soda cravings. I love sipping on this as an afternoon pick-me-up or pairing it with a cozy dinner.
Rating: 8.5/10
9. Miu Miu Silk Mini Dress
This was a gift from my mom during our Switzerland trip, and it’s my favorite thing in my wardrobe right now. The dress is made from soft, champagne-colored silk with a subtle sheen that makes it feel luxurious and elegant. The ruched bodice, sweetheart neckline, and flared skirt create a flattering, feminine silhouette. I wore it to brunch one morning, and I felt like a princess—easily one of the most special pieces I own.
Rating: 10/10
10. Cloud by Ariana Grande Perfume and Body Spray
This fragrance has been my comfort scent all month. With notes of lavender, pear, and vanilla orchid, it’s sweet yet airy—like wrapping yourself in a warm hug. The body spray is perfect for casual, everyday use, while the perfume is great for evenings or when you want to feel a little extra special. Plus, the bottle is super cute and fits perfectly on my vanity.
Rating: 9.5/10

Xoxo, Scarlette
