Farmer Gift Guide

Both men and women farmers aren't the easiest to shop for. We are notorious for buying what we need, or in my dad's case saying for 45 years straight "he doesn't want anything." I've rounded up a few ideas that will be sure to please farmers from young to old. 

1. Melissa of Hungry Canyon is an incredible farmer, teacher, and small business owner. While she is known for her greeting cards I love all the agriculture gifts she also carries. 

2. Dr. Hake shares the modern story of agriculture and gives back with each purchase from her Support Your Local Veterinarian line.  

3. Livestock Collective has tons of shirts and stickers for all of your stock show friends. 

4. Scents of Shame is a candle company my cousin started and my sister sells them in her boutique. You'll be laughing at all of the descriptions and names. Boss Cow and Night Checks are two favorites. Use code CRYSTAL10 for 10% off. 

5. Jon and I both LOVE our heated vests. You won't want to go winter with them. 

6. I don't know why we waited so long to put up cameras in our calving barn. These were easy to install, a great price point and the app makes it easy for us to pull up the cameras on our phones. 

7. This feed scale is so handy. Battery operated, super portable. 

8. For the person that has everything get them what my husband considers the best gas can EVER. 

9. Jon and I both just started wearing Kuru shoes are we are SUPER impressed. They are designed with a sole that forms to your foot and provides superior ankle, arch and heel support. Jon wears these ones. 

10. I have a new favorite insulated cup. I love these because they actually fit in our vehicles' cup holders and they keep things hot. Plus, you can't beat the price point.

Beauty Favorites From Sephora

 Sunday marks the start of Sephora's Fall VIB Sale. The VIB sale is exclusive to those that have signed up for Sephora's free rewards club. There are three levels: Insider, VIB and VOB Rouge and each level will receive a tiered level of discount during the sale starting at 10% off. The great news is that you can sign up right before check out and still get your 10% off during the sale. You'll also earn points for each dollar that you spend throughout the year and these points can be redeemed for luxury samples. 

I've broken down my picks into things I currently use/will be reordering and then some holiday gift ideas. In the coming weeks, I have a ton of holiday gift guides going up so if you haven't signed up for my newsletter now is the perfect time. 

Becca Undereye Brightener: I have gotten so many of my friends hooked on this. It dark shadows under your eye or uneven skin color on your lids (that's me) are your problems then grab this. You can wear it on its own or for more coverage layer a concealer over top of it. 

Born This Way Concealer: I moved away from Tarte Shape Tape (gasp, I know) awhile ago and this is what I replaced it with. It has all the coverage but is a lot more moisturizing. 

Anastasia Brow Set: Ever holiday season I make sure I grab one of these sets or put it on my Christmas list. Taupe is the perfect color for fair blondes like me. 

Flawless Finishing Powder: I held off for a LONG time before I purchased it, but yes it is as good as all the influencers and beauty bloggers say. Whether you want to make sure your makeup says put or you need to reduce some shine before your next Zoom call you'll love this powder. 

Natural Eyes Palette: I bounce back and forth and combo this palette and my EVER palette all the time. Lots of pigment and you can easily do an every day or glam look. 

Make-Up Forever Shadow: If you are only going to get ONE THING get this shadow. Every time someone compliments me on my eyeshadow I have this on. I pop a little bit in the center of my eyelid and it bright the whole look to life. I wear shade ME-513. 

Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette: I don't own this palette YET, but it is the one my sister wears and it always looks awesome. At under $25 it is a really good buy. 

Mario Badescu Skincare: This spray is great for wetting an angled eyeshadow brush and then turning a dark eyeshadow into an eyeliner. If my face is dry I will also spritz it before I apply my moisturizers. The drying lotion is perfect for clearing up a blemish overnight. 

NARS Orgasm Mini Blush: NARS' signature color this is the perfect year-round color. I have this in the powder and a cream stick version. 

All Nighter Setting Spray: It'll take you forever to go through a bottle, so grab the set and then gift the second. If you are having problems with makeup rubbing off on your mask this is an awesome product. 

Hourglass Ambient Light Powders: These powders are the perfect way to give yourself a little glow. If you don't want to splurge on the larger palette, I also love the mini powders. Plus, these palettes will last you years. Yes, I said years. 

First Class Dry Shampoo: My all-time favorite dry shampoo isn't in stock at Sephora anymore (here I come Ulta) but I do like to include this one in the rotation. Also, this is the ideal time to stock up on dry shampoo because it's on sale and you are getting a bonus mini.  

Verb Blonde Mask: I have not used this mask but my bottle is empty of the one I've tried before and a friend had rave reviews about this one so I am going to scoop it up. 

Briogeo Dry Shampoo: If you are looking for a clean, nonaerosol dry shampoo I really like this one. I have been out of it for a bit and have missed it more than I thought I would so it is going in the cart. 

Pro Tip: If you need to buy for a lot of people or simply love treating friends grab a gift set, then break it apart to make multiple gifts. 

Sephora Lipstain Lipsticks: Another favorite amongst my friends and the price point is awesome. Even better in this gift set. 

Voluspa: I love this brand of candles and this set contains three different vanilla scents. 

Beard Lube Conditioning Shave: This is Jon's favorite and I love buying it in the big container so he always has some on hand, aka I like a clean-shaven face, lol. 

Laneige: This used to be my favorite lip balm until I started using EVER Smooth. But, a tube of this lasts so long I still find myself switching between the two. 

Face Masks: Great for teens and grown-up friends. Break these apart and they are just over $4 each.

Black Friday = Amazing Cowboy Boots

Happy Shopping

So I hope all of you are having a fantastic Thanksgiving. I am missing out on turkey and pumpkin pie as I have made a trip up north (aka Canada aka currently the Frigid North) to spend some time with my family and partake in Agribition.

However, I will not abandon my Turquoise Thursday followers and this time my friend Miss Fabulous has scouted out a deal for you at www.metboots.com Use coupon code THANKS10 for 10% your entire order.

Currently, I am in love with the Ferrini brand of boots. I cannot believe how reasonably priced they are. A couple friends of mine have now purchased them, including my sister, and swear they are comfortable.

Your Turquoise Thursday cowboy boots.

Aren't the tops of these fun! I think I would prefer a black patent leather bottom though. 

Now you can't forget about the boys. Here is a pair of cowboy boots for you. 

And the pair of boots that I hope will be sitting under the Christmas tree for me this year. 

Something for the Big 12 Cowgirl and others! - Christmas Wish List

It is almost here...

In the coming weeks I hope to share with you a few ideas to be added to your Christmas lists, to buy for those on your nice list, or if you want to send me something in the mail, please feel free to select from these items!

Thanks to my great friend Robyn, over at Copper West (an awesome new western lifestyle website) I discovered these metal cutout pendents from Whiskey Creek Designs. These pendents are really reasonably priced and they have lots of cute necklaces, shirts and handbags on their site as well. 

Of course I would love the powercat design! I need to see if they have them in the dark metal.

And for all my Oklahoma State girls, a little Pistol Pete to add to your necklaces.

And for those that just love the western lifestyle!
