BEAUTY | March 2026 Ipsy Original Bag

Purchased by me

Here we are at March and I have April and May ready to go as well! I actually really liked March's bag in terms of the variety of products as it included both makeup and skincare that were actually products I would use! That's always the case with these subscriptions, but generally Ipsy has been pretty fun for me!

BEAUTY | Sephora Collection Outrageous Plump Lip Gloss x Tabasco

Purchased by me

How many of you are Hot Ones fans? If you haven't heard of the show, it's where host Sean Evans ask "hot questions with even hotter wings" and the hot sauces they use change every season with the exception of Da Bomb which is known to be just pure pepper extract and meant to annihilate. I love the show and while I am not normally a spice lover when it comes food, but I AM a spice lover with my lip products so can you imagine my delight when the Sephora Collection Plump Lip Gloss x Tabasco Collaboration popped up as a suggestion while I was browsing the Sephora app?!

NAILS | Hermes Iris Violetta #CBBxManiMonday

Purchased by me

It has been over a month since I last painted my nails as I waited patiently for them to grow back...and then break again. My index nail still isn't back to what it was before and I am eating really well and feeling good so who knows what is happening. Sometimes nails are just what they are no matter how much biotin or good food you ingest.

SHEET MASK | Anua x KPop Demon Hunters Eternal and Golden Honmoon Collagen Mask

Purchased by me

I was not immune to the hype of Kpop Demon Hunters both with the movie and the music! My husband and I watched the movie last year and as big Kpop fans in general, had all of our expectations fulfilled and more! I am still not sick of the song "Golden" and I love that EJAE has finally gotten all of the recognition she deserves! A Grammy AND Oscar?! How much better could it get?!

LIFESTYLE | Six on Saturday - Flowers, Watches, Dior and more Flowers!

I have not done one of these in awhile and because I missed Friday, it means I get to do Six on Saturday! What I like about these posts are that it jogs my memory about what the last two weeks have been like as well as teaches me to be appreciative of what has happened in my life because a lot of the time, life moves way too fast!

ONE: Whenever a client says they are thankful for the service I have provided them with, it always makes me smile, but when they add in a little something special like flowers, it's really extra special. These were hand-delivered to the store and I had no idea who would have sent me flowers because it's not like it happens every day and then of course, the pessimist in me thinks it's a stalker! Thankfully, that was not the case and I got to enjoy these beautiful orchids in my office for the next week as my cats would have eaten them had I brought them home!

MAKEUP | LYS Triple Fix Serum Skin Tint Foundation Stick

Purchased by me

Though I don't play around with makeup as much as I used to, foundation is the one thing I am always tempted by even though I feel like there is nothing I haven't tried at this point! I first started seeing LYS Beauty while we were in the midst of the pandemic and looking for more BIPOC brands.
