Things I've been buying, loving and trying! Part 1

Hey there! It's been a hot minute since my last post... I've been going back and forth over how to approach my content here, and I've come to a simple conclusion: it doesn't have to be complicated. I can share what I want, when I want! So, for today's blog, I'm taking inspiration from newsletters, something I've been really into lately!

Life's been a mix of busy and chill moments lately. I feel like I'm either running around or just kicking back and relaxing. Oh, and did I mention I got engaged (!!) back in December? 💍 More on that in a future post, promise!

Let's dive into some of the cool stuff I've picked up over the past few months and what's got me excited!

  1. I've added a new water bottle to my collection! I got a Bink!!!! I know, sounds mundane, right? I tried the Stanley and it just didn't work for me. The leaks? No thanks. And the look? Not my style. So, here I am, kicking things off by sharing my latest water bottle purchase... captivating stuff, I know! 🙃

  2. Now, onto skincare! Dermalogica sent over some products, and let me tell you, this exfoliator they sent has been a game-changer for me. Obsessed is an understatement!

  3. In May, I spent four amazing days in NYC. I had an amazing time visiting my best friend, enjoying delicious food, and soaking in the city's vibrant energy. I absolutely love it there and can't wait to visit more often.

  4. In other news, Jordan and I just booked our flights to our wedding destination! Yes, you read that right - we're having a destination wedding! We're beyond thrilled to start planning and scouting venues. Our trip is later this year, and we're planning to stay for a blissful three weeks!

  5. Let's talk beauty favourites! Here are some products I love and use daily: the Chanel bronzer is a must-have, and the Chanel skin tint is the best and most subtle base ever. I can't decide between Saie blushes and Giorgio Armani ones—they're both so beautiful.

  6. Back to skincare 🙈 - The Rhode glazing milk is another standout product that I can't recommend enough. It's incredibly hydrating and feels amazing on the skin. In fact, if you're reading this, DM me with the milk emoji🥛, and I'll send a bottle to the first person who reaches out!

  7. Switching gears to home essentials, Silk and Snow sheets are an absolute dream. I have a cotton set and a linen set. They’re both wonderful.

  8. On the fitness front, I'm obsessed with F45! Seriously, I genuinely look forward to my workouts and have been seeing incredible results. Although I've had to take a bit of hiatus due to health reasons (check out my TikTok for more details), I can't wait to get back into the gym!

  9. Last but not least, let's talk shoes! Loafers have been my latest obsession. It took me forever to find pairs that I truly love, but now that I have them, I can't get enough! Comfortable and stylish? Count me in! I have both platform loafers and non-chunky ones.

That’s all for now - now that things are a bit more casual here, I’ll be writing more often!
