    Love & Mickey Mouse Top

    January 24, 2019 /

    Over the summer Uniqlo launched their Love & Mickey Mouse capsule collection. I’m not sure if the collection is still launching pieces, but I was in Uniqlo last week and there were still Disney pieces. I may or may not have picked up a couple tees. But, that’s neither here nor there. Like I was saying, over the summer the collection launched and when I saw a preview online the brightly colored, multicolor Mickey on a black 3/4 sleeve top immediately grabbed my attention. I needed this top! The problem was it was only going to be available at select Uniqlo stores and the online release date was when I…

    I’ve been so busy lately that I haven’t had time to do a lot of face masks, but I made time Sunday morning to use the Dr. Brandt Magnetight Age-Defier Mask. So I was going to use it Friday night but then was too tired and told myself I’d do it Saturday night. On Saurday, I put the mask out on my vanity to remind myself to do it. I woke up Sunday morning realizing I hadn’t done it! Since the mask can be used morning or night I decided to do it after showering on Sunday morning. What’s really cool about this mask is that you use a magnet to…

    Eve Lom – Rescue Mask

    December 4, 2017 /

    My skin has been acting up lately, probably due to stress and holiday eating. Luckily, a while ago during one of Sephora’s sales I picked up the Rescue Mask by Eve Lom. I first learned about this mask from Ingrid Nilsen. She talked about it multiple times on her instastories and swears by it so I thought it would be a great product to try out especially during a break out. The company describes the mask as: “The calming Rescue Mask gently cleanses to decongest pores without drying out the skin. Stressed and troubled complexions are rescued with kaolin clay to absorb and control excess oil and visibly reduce puffiness, camphor to…

    TonyMoly is a brand that I’ve heard about for years but had never tried any of their products. One day while out and about I stopped inside Urban Outfitters and while I didn’t get any clothes (I did see a dress I loved but it was ridiculously expensive for a style I could get at Kohl’s or American Eagle for half the price) I saw there were TonyMoly sheet masks. You know I love sheet masks and they were having a sale for 4 for $10! So of course I bought 4. I got the: Tea Tree Mask, Lemon Mask, Aloe Mask, and Cactus Mask.  The Tea Tree Mask is…

    A few days ago I wrote about the Dr. Jart+ Clear Skin Lover Rubber Mask I tried out, which I really liked. Today I’m sharing 2 new (to me) sheet masks that I’ve recently used. First up, the Sephora Green Tea Face Mask. I’ve tried and loved the Sephora Lotus and Rose masks before. Since I’ve been loving the Sephora sheet masks I, of course, wanted to try another one. The latest being this Green Tea one. The Green Tea one, “Mattifies and purifies to soothe skin, minimize shine, and reduce the appearance of outbreaks.” Calming down my skin and reducing the appearance of outbreaks sounds good to me! I enjoyed…

    Lately I’ve been loving sheet masks and I’m going to talk about 2 new ones I’ve used in an upcoming post, but today I’m talking about a rubber mask. The Dr. Jart+ Clear Skin Lover Rubber Mask to be exact. The idea of a rubber mask intrigued me and this one claims to clear your skin so I wanted to give it a try. The product is described as: “This two-step system includes a highly concentrated ampoule serum and a rubber mask that was developed to fight breakouts and soothe stressed skin. The clearing rubber mask wraps the skin to prevent active ingredients from evaporating, allowing for deeper penetration to improve…

    Sephora Rose Sheet Mask

    A few weeks ago I tried out my first ever sheet mask, the Sephora Lotus mask and I’m back to talk about another one – the Rose Sheet Mask also from Sephora. Like the Lotus mask, this one felt really nice and soothing on the skin. Since this is my second time using a sheet mask I knew what to expect this time in terms of application and the feel of the mask. This rose mask “Provides deep moisture and brightening properties through natural rose extract.” I know some people love a rose scent and some people are put off by it. I personally like rose scented things, but for…

    AEnon’s Rose Purifying Face Mask

    September 29, 2016 /

    Back in July, I received two packets of AEnon’s Rose Purifying Face Mask in my Aster Market Box. I finally got around to trying out the mask so I wanted to share my thoughts with you. The directions say to pour the powder in a bowl and mix in 1 teaspoon of water until it forms a paste. Easy enough. When you’re done mixing it doesn’t look like there’s much of anything in the bowl, but trust me it is more than enough to cover your face as it is thicker than it looks and is easy to spread. The mask has a light pink shade to it, which I like…

Through Dark Storms is the fourth and final book i Through Dark Storms is the fourth and final book in the Beneath Black Sails series by @claresager and it was such a great conclusion to the pirate fantasy romance! 📚🏴‍☠️ 

In the novel Vice and Knigh are finally together and in love and now need to find safety and a new home for the thousands of people they’re responsible for. They’ll fight old enemies and new monsters together and with their friends 🌊.

I love Vice and Knigh and them together. The books are such fun and angsty reads! And I just recently learned that this series is related to the author’s A Kiss of Iron series (the fmc of that is Vice’s sister!) so I may need to move that up my tbr. Through Dark Storms wraps up nicely but leaves some things open (letters from Vice’s dad 👀) and I’m wondering if those things are addressed in A Kiss of Iron?! Can anyone tell me?! 📖

Read this series if you want a spicy pirate fantasy romance 🩷🏴‍☠️📚. My full review is on the blog ✨

When I heard @christinalauren were writing a novel When I heard @christinalauren were writing a novel about Fizzy from The Soulmate Equation, I knew I had to read it because I absolutely love her 🩷. The True Love Experiment follows Fizzy a couple years after The Soulmate Equation. Fizzy, a popular romance author is in a writing slump and the normally outgoing, flirty woman who dates like no one’s business wants to really fall in love. Connor Prince is a documentary filmmaker but when the network he works for wants him to produce a reality dating show he has no choice if he wants to keep his job and stay in San Diego where his young daughter is. He gets the idea to have Fizzy be the star after he sees her at a bar one night and realizes she’s the romance author his ex loves so much. Not only that, but the show would use the technology River created in The Soulmate Equation to find Fizzy’s matches.

Connor and Fizzy have undeniable sizzling chemistry and get along so well. On top of that they are wildly attracted to one another. But, they have a job to do. Can Fizzy find love on the show when the only person she’s interested in is Connor? Can Connor put his feelings for Fizzy aside and help her find her soulmate aka do his job? 👀

I loved this book! Fizzy is my hero! And I loved Fizzy and Connor and how real and flawed they were. Their chemistry is electric and the banter is so good 📖🥵. 

Read this book if you want a spicy romcom with the work place romance trope and sort of the forbidden romance trope 📚. My full review is on the blog ✨

Twinkies & Beefcake by @t_h_forest is a coming of Twinkies & Beefcake by @t_h_forest is a coming of age gay romance that had me hooked from start to finish. The novel follows Robby, a wealthy British teen who is just admitting to himself that he is gay. The first half of the book follows a 15 year old Robby as he comes into his own after coming out and shows him meeting an older man one day. Vas is 27, tall, fit, hot, and interested in Robby which makes Robby feel special. Robby begins to really feel like he’s in love with Vas and his love blinds him to do whatever Vas wants. As years go by, Robby gets lost in alcohol, drugs, and allowing Vas to record them and post the videos to adult sites. When Vas gets bored with Robby, everything comes crashing down for him and it takes Robby years to recover mentally, emotionally, and physically. 

The second half follows Robby as he finds real love and the ups and downs of that relationship. I don’t want to spoil the book so I won’t say who he falls in love with, but I really loved their love story! 🩷

I really liked the book, especially the second half with the ups and downs of the love Robby finds. The first half can be triggering for some with what Robby goes through with the grooming, manipulation, abuse, etc. but it makes the second half and the good things that happen for Robby all the more beautiful. ❤️‍🩹

I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a coming of age lgbtq romance, but make sure to check trigger warnings! My full review is on the blog ✨

Dearest New York: A Love Letter to the Big Apple b Dearest New York: A Love Letter to the Big Apple by Deirdre Gartner is a book with beautiful photos and illustrations of the city as well as a guide to classic and lesser known cafes, shops, architectural wonders, and hidden gems! 🌃 It would make for a great gift whether you get the digital copy or physical book to use as a coffee table book 📚.
