1. Pears

Mmm… sweet green, juicy pears. I love them so much ideal meow! I got a substantial bag of organic pears at Trader Joe’s last Sunday, and a lot of of them have already managed to find their way into my tum. I might be on the verge of a full-on pear obsession.

I get that way often about certain foods, where I ravenously crave them every day, over and over for weeks or months, and it’s starting to happen with pears.

REKLAME

I still haven’t succumbed to the temptation to “borrow” any from the substantial pear tree I pass each day on my walk, but today may be the day… We’ll know by around 7 o’clock tonight.

2. Tocca scents

I keep a bunch of perfumes on this cake stand display on top of my dresser, but the only one I’ve been wearing lately is Byredo Gypsy Water, and I’ve been wearing it for months.

Hmm… This might be a good time to try a different scent each day with a scent of the day series on Instagram! That might be fun.

In the process of sniffing some of these today I discovered that a couple of them had gone sour. The ancient bottle of Estée Lauder private Collection perfume I’ve had forever smelled like moonshine, OMG!

It broke my heart to ditch it because it was a gift, but in the process of test sniffing these, I rediscovered some old faves, like, basically, everything from Tocca.

Why did I ever stop wearing Tocca?? Their scents, while delicate, still have such presence, and whenever I wear one I just feel…chipper and glad. And, hello! — they last all day long too.

Today I’m wearing Violette, which I really like (but I like Bianca and Graciella even more).

3. Aveda Clove color Conditioner

I have caramel highlights in my hair from about the mid-shaft to the ends, and I’ve been using and LOVING this Aveda Clove color Conditioner ($21) to keep ’em looking lively and fresh.

All I do is wash my hair, then use Clove instead of my regular conditioner, and I leave it in for a few minutes before rinsing it out. I think it makes my highlights much richer (Clove in place of my regular conditioner once a week is enough to keep the highlights poppin’), and it has a fresh, very Aveda-esque herbal scent that I like. The only thing is…it’s kind of pain to keep the shower stall clean when you use it because it’s pigmented, so it’ll leave a stain in the tub if you’re not careful.

That’s why I bring a scrub brush with me into the shower, and after I rinse my hair, I’ll swiftly scrub the shower walls to remove any spots or smears.

4. Rita Hazan root Concealer in Dark Brown/Black

Rita Hazan root Concealer in Dark Brown/Black
Dude, I am SO over my roots…

My next hair appointment isn’t until the end of the month, and the only thing currently saving me from walking around with a raspberry beret 24/7 is this root Concealer by Rita Hazan ($25). It’s a pigmented spray to conceal gray hairs and/or roots, and it washes out with shampoo. So generally it’s like concealer for your hair, and it comes in a bunch of different colors (I have it in Dark Brown/Black).

It conceals everything, and I’m talking EVERYTHING, and doesn’t make my scalp itchy, dry or uncomfortable. The pigment also stays where it belongs (on your head), so there isn’t any transferring onto pillows or clothing. All that, plus, it’s easy to wash out and doesn’t have a funky scent either.

It’s terrific stuff. I love it so much that I actually got a bottle for my dad, LOL!

5. messy buns and/or ponytails for fourth-day hair

Rockin’ a classic ponytail last year while walking Sir Tabs
I am currently on fourth-day hair today, so it’s up in a ponytail, and ponytails (and/or buns) are the best when I just can’t take it anymore, but I’m still not quite ready to deal with washing my hair and styling it.

It’s times like these that I spray a bunch of Klorane dry Shampoo on my scalp to take away the funk and absorb excess oil. then I run a brush through my hair, and put it up into a pony or bun.

So it looks like this list turned into “The Hair Edition,” haha!

fannie Uncategorized

1. Nike leopard shoes!

Raise your hand if you believe leopard is a neutral.

I’m with you, babe.

REKLAME

I gotten these Nikes a while back during a Nordstrom sale, mainly for the leopard accents as well as the dainty bit swoosh — although, really, I requirement to stop getting white shoes! They’re so difficult to keep clean, however I just like exactly how they look. They’re like the crisp, white button-up tee shirt of the tennis shoe universe. You can gown ’em up or down. They truly do work with everything.

One may presume that all tennis shoes would inherently feel comfy, particularly when compared to, like, 3-inch stilettos, however no! This pair occurs to autumn in the “never taking them off my feet, ever” category. They’re incredibly soft as well as squishy like clouds!

2. “The Chair” on Netflix

I marathoned this show last weekend as well as didn’t understand anything going into it, other than the truth that it stars Sandra Oh. ligesom hende! Anyway, it’s good. The episodes fly by quickly, as well as it’s a truly simple show to watch.

It’s a comedy about the faculty of an English department at a fictional Ivy league college, as well as Sandra Oh’s character, Ji-Yoon, is the recently appointed chair of the department (which is crumbling, BTW). The department’s losing trainees since it hasn’t progressed with the altering times, as well as Ji-Yoon struggles to keep things afloat after a series of unforeseen events.

The composing is funny, touching as well as thoughtful. a number of scenes made me believe deeply about exactly how people currently interact on the internet as well as in-person, as well as about exactly how anything we perform in public can be manipulated as well as distorted into soundbites as well as memes.

3. Vampire Weekend’s tune “Oxford Comma”

On that note, on the last episode of “The Chair,” this tune plays during the final credits.

How can you not like a tune that not only ponders punctuation however likewise shouts-out Lil’ Jon? Bonus: it’s catchy too.

4. A adorable compact from sincere Beauty

Honest appeal is updating their packaging to make it a lot more eco-friendly, as well as I truly like what they did with their cream blush. The compact is now metal as well as recycle-able.

This is increased Pink, as well as you can wear it on lips as well as cheeks.

5. LANIEGE Lip Sleeping Mask

I truly didn’t want to provide into the hype, however man, this lip balm is good. Allegedly, it’s for using overnight while you sleep, however I just utilize it whenever. I like exactly how it hugs my lips however isn’t obnoxiously sticky.

It’s likewise incredibly moisturizing. envision your preferred moisturizing balm however to the Nth degree!

It has some great ingredients, too, including vitamin C as well as other antioxidants. I have the original Berry flavor, which subtly tastes as well as smells like strawberry, however there’s a lot of other flavors if berry isn’t your thing.

REKLAME

I want to tell you, “Don’t do it, girl,” however I likewise want to say, “Girl, do it,” since whatever else will pale in comparison to this after you try it. From this day forward, I will side-eye every other lip balm asserting similar claims.
