2017
Favorite things I guess you would call it my 2017 favorites the reason why I'm not sitting in my usual spot
Over there is because this is just a little bit easier for me

Though 12 days of ChriskaYoga is happening right now. I have no idea. What day it is. I'm not gonna lie
I don't have my notes nearby. This is true behind the scenes
I just figured I would hop on here quickly show you a little bit of an informal view of things and
Talk you through my favorite things of
2017 to give you some inspiration maybe you're looking to buy some last-minute gifts
Maybe you just want to know what a yoga teacher on YouTube is interested in so yeah

Meditations yoga chats things like this things of this nature

2018 so subscribe it's free, and I would love to have you as a subscriber, so let's get started
Let's start with books. I guess I don't have the book. I'm looking at my books
I wanted to mention a particular book
This is not a new book, but it's called, "You are a Bad***" By Jen Sincero.
I love this book. I'm obsessed with it I
Read it several times this year alone. I've listened to it as well
I can't find the hard copy, but I do have it on audible, but basically it's amazing
It's very empowering perfect for the new year if you're looking for some
Inspiration for the new year definitely get your hands on a copy of this book in whichever form you can hard copy paper back, on Audible..
audio
Obviously, I listed to it on audible not sponsored by audible however
I wish because I am obsessed with it. great excellent excellent book cannot recommend it enough I'm gonna try to not
Overlap things that I spoke about in my yoga gift guide because those are definitely my favorites as well
However, I'm just going to do a quick run through
Some of the things that are my true favorites. I will always always recommend them one of them being my Jade yoga mat
It's right here, it's the camera would focus. Yeah, it's right here. It's my tried-and-true
Yoga mat as you can see my name's on it. I've had this yoga mat since
2014. So, it's the end of 2017 at this point it's still going very strong here are some other things. I'm going to talk about
one of them being
they're both resistance bands, but they're different types
so these
Are the stringy kinds with the loops and they have
Handles like that and there are different kinds of resistance
these are the ones that I use in my
yoga with resistance bands
video
There are quite stuff in this back. Yeah, I use this one and they're great if you don't have weights at home
And you're looking for some resistance training
So if you're looking to workout at home like I do working out at home is far cheaper than joining a gym
So yeah getting your hands on those
Following along with some YouTube videos those are some great resistance bands if you're looking to workout at home now
I'm going to share with you some of my makeup
favorites from 2017
these things I've been using all year long are for most of the year at least like
Figured I'd share them with you as well this first one is
the Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette.
When I open it, you'll be able to tell how much I've used it
And how much I don't use these colors, but basically the neutrals are pretty awesome
And even some of the shimmery ones I like as well.
These two were clearly my favorite, but and this is not a new palette by any means
It's just something that I've been using this year that I've been loving and oh hello
Comes with a huge mirror which I also like, but it's not really good for
Travel because it's a little bit heavy, but yeah, it's still good
I've been using this
shape tape
By Tarte it's a concealer. It's
Awesome, I really really like it. I might have gotten a shade too light for myself, but hey, whatever
I've been really enjoying this bareMinerals
mascara
bareMinerals mascara lash domination
I Think it makes my lashes look really good it helps to separate them because they get kind of clumpy
So this one's really good for that. I like this eye brow gel
Sonia Kashuk, it's a brand. I think by target
I like the brown because my eyebrows are brown
And I don't need to like use pencil or anything so this is one that I literally have been using this entire year
This lipstick I wear it in most of my videos. It's just a pale pink. It's from the same brand Sonia Kashuk
It's a little bit shimmery on the nude pink kind of color
It's really awesome.
I Love it. It's very hydrating very moisturizing as well
I Love this blush
nice and compact it looks
Darker than it looks when you put it on your face or at least when I put it on my face
But it is really good. It's really pigmented
It's not something that I need to put a million layers on in order to see the color
I really enjoy it and it's very affordable... oh geez
I just discovered this elf foundation a few months ago, and I'd really like it
Cruelty free company. I really like this foundation. I have never been a fan really a foundations
I've always just kind of used tinted moisturizer or a BB cream
But I like that one good for filming good for occasions and stuff
I also have been really liking this smooth operator powder by Tarte
it's just a translucent powder that I put over my
Foundation and blush and all that stuff on my face all over my face it helps to keep everything matte
Everything kind of oil-free, so I like that one a lot. So, my next favorite that I'm gonna talk about is my essential oils
I've talked about this multiple times the essential oil diffuser
However, I never really discussed the types of essential oils that I used regularly. So one of them
I have here the other one I left
At my boyfriend's house, so I'll just put a screenshot of it on the screen, but basically one of them is this one
It's the tea tree oil I feel like it
Just really purifies the air it gives the air like a fresh smell
And I really really like the way that
It smells and I like the way that the air feels when I breathe it in after I put this in the essential oil
Diffuser. It Just feels cool and fresh tea tree oil is a natural antimicrobial
so it has
antibacterial properties
It helps to kill all the bacteria
It's great to actually dilute into water and use it as a yoga mat cleaning spray as well
Homemade yoga, mat cleaning spray obviously, they have ones that you can buy. The other essential oil that I love to use it's lavender
Because I love the smell of lavender and it is very relaxing.
Lavender has been known to be relaxing smell relaxes your entire body all your senses lavender before bedtime
in your essential oil diffuser, even a lavender candle is awesome. Speaking of lavender candles
I've been burning this one since my birthday the Yankee Candle lavender scent it's not very exciting
But I figured since it's like it was all way up to the top now. It's halfway done this one
I love. So, finally I think I'm going to end it on food some very random bits of food
Just in case you don't know I'm a vegan
I'd like to eat whole plant-based foods as much as possible
But I have a few extra goodies or kind of I wouldn't call it junk food
It's not like junk junk, but I guess I don't know you'll see for yourself
And it's not all unhealthy. One of them is very healthy. The first thing I'm going to talk about is this it's the
Gardein meatless meatballs
Some of you might have your own opinions on this and please if you want to share them just be nice about it always
Be nice. What's that saying if you have nothing kind to say then don't say anything at all
Thank you very much
But I really like these when I am just looking for something fast and easy to eat with some pasta
I have no time
I usually just microwave these and some sauce and make some quick pasta and put it all together
And it's a very easy meal and has lots of protein
And it's just you know we're all obsessed with protein
But it definitely has a lot of protein, and I love this brand their stuff is always excellent
So this is my favorite product of Gardein
This is another one that I don't really eat very often
Or don't like to eat very often because it's very oily and fatty, but this sauce is amazing
It's like it is my new favorite
Obsession pasta sauce. I have always been a huge advocate for making your own pasta sauce
but this pasta sauce is just
out of this world
It's a vegan vodka sauce by the brand Victoria
I just discovered it this year, and it is amazing. It tastes... It's like my favorite thing on the planet right now
As you can see I get very excited about food give it a try if you're interested. If it looked interesting to you
It doesn't have any dairy in it because it's vegan
Doesn't have any eggs. It's just, it's just good. It's just really good. And finally my last food favorite is
This. It's nutritional yeast
Now some of you might be like what is that? This is an excellent source of B vitamins
it has a
Cheesy flavour I'm doing air quotes here cheesy flavor
It just makes things taste really good. I use it as a Parmesan cheese parmesan... woah. I just said "parmesan" I
Use it as a parmigiano cheese substitute for my pasta
I use it to make cheese sauces vegan cheese sauces out of
Several different types of vegetables and that it's just good
It's just taste good and people think that it's weird and gross because it's called nutritional yeast like why couldn't they call it something else
but
In the vegan community, it's been called "nooch"
Which I like. It's fun to say "nooch"
But anyway that has been a huge huge favorite of mine throughout this year. It is really good for you
It has so many good essential B vitamins, and if you're vegetarian or vegan
we need to supplement for b12. B vitamins excellent to get into your system and
This is a very tasty way to do it so I really recommend checking out nutritional yeast
So, I really hope you didn't mind this informal favorites video
I'm giving you 12 videos in 12 days, so it's been quite tough.
And this was just a little bit of an easier way for me to do things for this videos
