5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

Posted on by pukhk

1. Tocca Cleopatra Candela Luxe ($54)

Kind of a sucker over here! Yep, I’m a sucker for elegant candles, as well as this is from Tocca, the makers of Bianca, which is one of my premiere many ideal perfumes of all time. Candela Luxe is a new collection of high-end candles influenced by their fragrances, as well as each one is available in a beautiful glass you can repurpose. They’re likewise rated to shed for 60 hours (!).

The one I have is the Cleopatra, which fills my instant vicinity with the aromas of clean, crisp cucumber as well as wonderful grapefruit.

Ahh…

2. L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Last Nailcolor ($9.99)

These dynamic nail polish duos have twin tips! One end has a vibrant base shade, as well as the other end has a (very lightly) tinted top coat. The concept is that you can avoid an extra base coat, as well as just utilize one of these with its accompanying top coat.

They are available in a range of colors (I’ve been using them a great deal in videos). I’ve evaluated a creamy light blue shade called unlimited sky as well as a creamy taupe called ageless Taupe, as well as unlimited sky chipped on me quite rapidly (like within a day!), however ageless Taupe made it about five days before the very first chips appeared at the edges, which isn’t poor for me, thinking about the heck I put my nails with every day, all day.

I’m going to try always A woman next, which is a dark reddish brown… I assumption I’m in the mood for fall!

3. Trader Joe’s Sour Gummies ($1.99)

ERHMAHGOSH! There’s a essential lime sour gummy!

I believe I may have discussed that I’ve been all about sour flavors lately (especially lime), as well as that’s why I put this in my buying cart the other day.

Omule, omule! — I’m so happy I did. They’re delicious. They’re gummier as well as firmer (furmier? LOL!) than routine sour gummies… They likewise stay with my teeth worse/more, which isn’t ideal, however I can neglect that on account of them being so tasty.

The flavors are lemon, grapefruit (YUM), lime as well as tangerine, as well as they’re all in bit “T” or “J” shapes.

I will be getting one more bag on my next trip to Trader Joe’s.

4. Taco Night

My friend, if you can, marry a guy who will make you bomb-@ss tacos.

I desired them one night, however I didn’t want to make them, as well as El Hub leaped into action! I don’t understand exactly how we made it so long in our connection without me understanding that this guy can MAKE SOME TACOS.

Like, he truly can’t cook anything else, in general, other than the few dishes that kept him to life during his bachelor days (grilled cheese, scrambled eggs as well as toast, pork as well as bean sandwiches, that type of thing), so I don’t always count on him to feed us properly, however the few things he can make, he makes really, truly well.

And one of those things are tacos.

This week we had a Taco Tuesday as well as a Taco Wednesday since the tacos were so great that I desired them two nights in a row. They’re quite fundamental — diced tomatoes, shredded iceberg lettuce, ground beef (or ground veggie-burger), shredded cheddar cheese, full-fat sour cream, diced black olives as well as crispy corn taco shells from Trader Joe’s — however daaaayum! Atat de bun.

5. Mossimo MB printed storage tank top from Target ($22.99)

Hello, new preferred top!

I believe it looks pricier than it really is. I discovered it while buying for pajamas at Target, as well as it was so adorable that I involuntarily dropped it in my cart.

Mine is a bit different than the one shown here. It’s solid black (I got the last one in the store!), however I believe this printed one is adorable too.

I like the outlining around the neckline as well as the shoulders, as well as exactly how it drapes around the torso without looking untidy or as well baggy. The material likewise holds up well without ending up being a mass of wrinkles.

I like using it with skinnies or leggings, as well as with either large stud earrings or hoops as well as a bracelet.

5 things I’ve Been Loving Lately

Posted on by pukhk

just a few things I’ve been into as of late
Some people were born to sing (En vogue shout-out!). Pe mine? I was born to make lists. here are 5 things I’ve been loving lately.

1. amazing August mornings

June and July were brutally hot here in the Bay Area, and if you didn’t have air conditioning, it was like living in an armpit.

Cloudy August mornings = yes
Lately, though, like for the past two weeks, it’s been cooler here. Borderline cold. and what a welcome change. I am NOT hating on those overcast mornings in The lady Sanctuary!

The lady Sanctuary… I have coffee out here in the mornings sometimes.
2. The September 2017 issue of Glamour

I’ve been a glamour subscriber for a year, but #realtalk, it’s been months since I’ve been able to sit down long enough to read an issue from cover to cover because of the baby.

Thoroughly enjoyed this

She’s up in my business, LOL! I’ll be two sentences into an article, and she’ll come over, place her little soccer ball in my arms, and say, “Bah?” which is her word for most things that aren’t ma, dada, cat and wow-wow! So then I’ll put down the magazine and we’ll play “Baby world Cup.”

This happens, oh…15 times a day, give or take.

The cuteness! Nu pot rezista!
I wouldn’t have it any other way, but I miss reading time. So I’ve been making an extra effort to read at least 20 minutes every night in bed.

Last night was the September Glamour, and I thought I’d be able to get in a few articles before I fell asleep, but it was so good that I couldn’t put it down. It has it all — makeup, perfume, fashion, accessories — ya know, the usual girly stuff. but there’s also some in-depth pieces on personal finance, sexual assault on college campuses and planned Parenthood.

It’s a better magazine that I remember. It’s refreshing to read a women’s magazine that isn’t completely filled with fluff, ya know?

Bozoma Saint John negotiated a $50-million Pepsi deal for Beyoncé.
There’s a terrific profile in the issue on a woman named Bozoma Saint John, one of very few black female C-suite executives in tech, who negotiated a $50-million sponsorship deal with Pepsi for Beyoncé. I thought it was just very interesting.

3. finding stuff at Target for 50% off

There’s a pretty economical kids line at Target called cat & Jack, which is great, but then when their things go on sale for 50% off, it’s FREAKIN’ FANTASTIC.

I saw these cute tops and bottoms for babies and toddlers the other day, so I grabbed some tops for $3 each and jeans for $6. DA!

I feel like a rockstar when I can save $$$ on buying her clothes because 1) that’s more I can put into her college account and 2) she outgrows everything sooooo fast.

4. The multiple toothpaste life

I grew up in a prudent family where everyone shared the same tube of toothpaste, and we used that sole tube down to the very last drop.

So, I thought that was the only way to live until about a month ago.

Imagine how shook I was when I realized — gasp! — that one can actually have different tubes of toothpaste in the medicine cabinet — like tubes for whitening, sensitivity, gum health, or even different days of the week!? think of that. I know this sounds hella lame, but the concept of having more than one tube of toothpaste completely blows my mind.

Two tubes of toothpaste… MIND BLOWN!
It started when I asked my dentist for a whitening toothpaste recommendation, and he suggested something from Arm & Hammer, so I bought a tube of their truly Radiant bright & strong in Fresh Mint.

I like it a lot (it keeps my teeth bright!), but some of the sensitive spots on my back teeth started bugging me, so I bought another tube, Colgate Sensitive, to help.

Now I alternate between the two and feel like I’m living a life of champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

5. This 20-minute cardio HIIT workout

I found this terrific HIIT crazy Cardio workout by Christine Salus on YouTube this summer, and I’ve done it once or twice a week since June.

It’s quick, effective and BRUTAL (in the best possible way), and you don’t need any fancy equipment. You can even do it in a hotel room while you’re traveling!

My favorite part is the bunny hop sequence.
