1. A lacrosse sphere for back massage

This has been the very best as well as worst thing to ever occur to me.

Because I bring most of my tension in my upper back, as well as I spend most of my day sitting at my desk, my trapezoids are about as versatile as a big block of cheese. WERE, I mean. minulý čas. My upper back’s been all loose-y goose-y ever since I started massaging it with this $3 lacrosse sphere I discovered at sports Basement.

REKLAMA

Every night I provide myself a poor-woman’s deep-tissue massage by rolling it under my upper back (there’s a lot of tutorials on YouTube), as well as even though I’m on the verge of misery while I’m doing it, when I’m done I no longer feel the crunchiness in the knots beneath my shoulder blades.

I watched this originally since I wished to see this dude’s dog, LOL! It’s super helpful.

FYI: It is a truly intense massage. If you don’t believe you’ll be able handle it, begin with a tennis ball, as well as work your method as much as a lacrosse sphere (which is harder).

2. Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter

If you’ve previously fallen under the magic spell of Nutella like I have, you’ll totally get this. I’m always looking for different spreads to spruce up toast in the morning since lady cannot exist on peanut butter alone.

This is *the* spread that will make you say, “What’s Nutella?”

Trader Joe’s dreamed up this creamy, silky butter, which is made from…cookies, as well as it tastes like whipped honey graham crackers as well as gingerbread. Basically, heaven in a jar. It’s similarly tasty on top of toast or as a dip for pretzels or carrot sticks. extremely suggested for when you’re in the mood for a decadent treat.

3. MAC Iridescent Powder/Loose in Silver Dusk

Say peace-the-eff-out to all the other silvery pink highlighters available since MAC Silver Dusk. It’s a loose powder that is available in a jar, as well as you can dust it on your deal with as well as eyes (and even your body)… This poor boy truly whips my high pony ’round as well as ’round.

I’m an NC42.
I’m not always a fan of silvery pink loose highlighting powders since 1) they usually clash with my NC42 skin, as well as 2) they look borderline fros-tay, however this essential of MAC artist bridal looks is a go-to for dôvod. Somehow, some way, it just works for almost everyone.

Leave it to the wizards at team MAC for making a highlighter that not only appears like a soft beam of angelic light is bathing your face, however is likewise simple to blend, so there’s no danger of those tell-tale highlighting edges along the bridge of your nose or on your upper cheekbones.

Added bonus? It lasts all the time (and all night) long, too.

4. Mrs. Meyers Hand Soap as well as meal Soap autumn Scents

I stumbled onto these Mrs. Meyers restricted edition autumn scents at Target last weekend, as well as I’m behind them 100%. We’re speaking cozy Apple Cider as well as spicy Pumpkin fragrances for meal soaps as well as hand soaps, so while you’re washing as well as rinsing off that skillet of overcooked scrambled eggs, instead of believing about exactly how dried eggs are such a PIA to clean, you’ll be magically transported to a cozy fireplace on the very first crisp day of fall, where you as well as your sweetie pie are snuggling, sipping hot drinks as well as scrubing feet.

5. September tomatoes

There’s something about those end-of-the-season tomatoes on the vine that are additional delicious.

I’m gonna miss being able to go on my deck as well as pick a handful whenever I want. Sigh…

Good day, sunshine! ?

Did that make you believe of the opening lines to this song?

’tis a great day to celebrate love, so right here are a few of the things I’ve been loving lately…

1. This Serena & Lily French bistro-inspired kitchen

Now that’s a phrase I did not expect to ever see in print…because when have I ever believed that deeply about kitchens?

For the record, Serena & Lily is not a hip 20-something singer-songwriter duet. They’re a high-end furniture line kinda like a much more streamlined, bougie-er Pottery Barn (as if that were possible). believe Crate & Barrel satisfies minimalist French country.

As I was flipping with their newest catalog, searching for style ideas, these adorable kitchen area scenes caught my eye…

THOSE BLACK as well as WHITE BISTRO CHAIRS!

Now, I’m not typically a huge wicker person (hard to clean, feline claws get caught in it, squeaks when you sit down), however I like the look of these chairs. They restore so numerous memories of strolling the streets of Paris with El Hub (who was El sweetheart at the time) as well as sipping strong cups of coffee at cute, comfortable walkway cafes.

I like the feminine curves as well as exactly how the chairs look like they’d be comfortable to sit in for hours. They’re crazy expensive, though, so I don’t plan to get ’em, however I sure do like exactly how they look in this room!

2. Chantecaille everything

Speaking of French style, I have a low-key Chantecaille addiction brewing. I’ve been using their gel bronzer as well as blush on bare skin (apparently, I can’t be bothered with foundation anymore), as well as man! – TAK DOBRÉ. You can’t see the edges of either the blush or the bronzer, as well as neither one moves an inch.

I capture a small bit of the bronzer on the back of my hand, swirl a little blush clean around in it, then buff that on my upper cheekbones. then I do the exact same thing with the blush (same brush), applying it only on the apples.

I like that you truly can’t tell where the blush as well as bronzer begin as well as end (like something you’d see on Megan Markle on her wedding event day), as well as it’s the type of makeup that looks especially great in full sunlight, like at a BBQ or a beach wedding.

Cheek Gelle blush in pleased (cute name, yeah?) as well as glow Gel Bronzer… I’m 100% sure you’re gonna ask me about the polish now, so it’s Chanel Purple Ray.
Blush as well as Bronzer on my cheeks. loft sweatshirt from winter season 2018. The gloss is hourglass Unreal Gloss in Horizon.
3. “Say You Will” by Fleetwood MAC

Um…did I truly just immediately capitalize the word “MAC” when I typed “Fleetwood Mac”? Yes, yes, I believe I did.

My three-year-old likes this song, which in my mind likewise implies that she likes Stevie Nicks…

OK, my work right here is done.

4. Low-tech, old-school handwritten everything

Lately, I’ve been dumping my computer keyboard for ye olde paper as well as pencil. I’ve been composing whatever — lists, notes, blog drafts — longhand, as well as while it’s much s-l-o-w-e-r than sprinting across the keyboard with my fingertips, there’s something therapeutic as well as practically meditative about seeing each letter emerge from the suggestion of my pencil.

I’m persuaded that physically composing words down on paper unlocks different parts of my brain — those quiet, dirty corners where all the strange (and fun) stuff hides.

Side note: Do they still instruct cursive handwriting in school?! Dúfam.

5. The Nudestix eyebrow Stylus Pencil & Gel

FYI: Not only is applying mascara a perishable skill. filling out one’s brows is, too, as well as yes, I understand this from personal experience. If you’re currently suffering from brow-filling amnesia (brow-nesia?), get one of these dual-ended pencils. There’s a goof-proof, long-wearing semi-transparent angled brow pencil on one end (so there’s no possibility of overdoing those fuzzy bit caterpillars) as well as a stiff, remove brow gel on the other.

It’ll get your brows best as rain.
