Just to get it out in the open – I will probably NOT continue to do monthly favorites. I am lazy and honestly who finds new and interesting things every month? Who has the BUDGET for that.
Okie dokie – now into interesting things.
Skincare
I am trying to improve is my skincare routine. THE TIK TOK GIRLIES GOT TO ME.
This AVYA moisturizer has got me on LOCK. I hate the feeling of thick, sticky moisturizer or stuff that will melt in DC humidity. I need my skin to feel… skin-like or else I go feral.
It has hyaluronic acid (which is one of the only 3 skincare things I know) but honestly its the best moisturizer I have ever tried. Lazy but picky girl approved
Normally I will never link to Bezos boi’s site, but until I get a sweet deal with this brand – we will all have to compromise.
Additionally the Anti-Aging community has come knocking at my door and the scare tactics are working. If there’s one thing I learned is moisturized = young.
After discovering this OSEA moisturizer and body oil you no longer have to worry about me being dry again.
I have been stopped and complimented on the scent of these products. Putting these on after a shower truly is an act of self healing.
Unfortunately I must buy these until I die.
Random/ Kitchen?
I got this purely because it was cute. But dang is it good olive oil. I hate to say it but it really does improve the taste of your food.
Its the first olive oil that I have used that actually has a “olive-y” taste.
The price is a bit steep – if you aren’t a person who cooks maybe this isn’t the recommendation for you.
But if you are someone who needed the push to try it – here is my formal recommendation. Get it once as a little treat and see if you love it like I do.
Books
One will quickly notice that I have fallen down the Emily Henry rabbit hole. My time has come to be a Em Hen stan. To me summer reads have to be 1. easy 2. fun 3. motivate you to live a cute little life and Emily checks the boxes.
Beach Read
GREAT summer read. I really enjoyed the storyline because it is catered to adults. No need to feel ancient reading a YA book focused on a 17 year old when you can read the struggles of quirky 30 year old.
Goodreads : 5/5
Happy Place
Admittedly I am not done yet. But so far I am LOVING this book. I have a feeling about how it will end but more importantly I need to find a friend group who plans weeklong outings like Sabrina.
Goodreads: ??
This month was focused on self care, relaxation and new experiences and I am really excited to share my favorites from this month with all of you! Let me know if you have tried/ read any of these and if you share my high regard.
Almost Pretty Good
