All These Things That I Love - May 2018

A monthly roundup of things that give me life...

I'm re-watching, actually, THE CROWN. In preparation (and celebration) of the Royal Wedding, the dramatization of Prince Harry's grandparents' marriage is truly riveting historical drama...

Rose' all day. Aren't they pretty? And delicious. But mostly pretty. 

To this Celine Dion song. Okay, I'm listening to it while watching this amazing video. What's not to love? The unapologetic ferocity of Celine Dion?  And the sly humor of Deadpool?  It seriously gives me hope that all of my so-called "crazy" ideas just might work...

It was my birthday last month and I gleefully skipped to Ulta and Sephora to pick up my birthday gifts. And aren't they gorgeous? Must-haves, seriously. The NARS orgasm blush is a perennial best-seller and supposedly great on all skin tones? (I'm not sure as I only have one - but it's not overpowering on this pale girl.)

And I'm not a really a matte lipstick kind of gal - give me an easy color balm any day but this Bite set might have won me over... to Bite matte lippies, anyway. 

Make sure you're signed up for all your birthday rewards, too! (I don't get anything out of this - I just really like my tribe to get free, awesome stuff.)

LIKE... did someone say a free, awesome book?  LOVE IN THE TIME OF HYGGE is the book I'm including in my newsletter this year, chapter by chapter and some people are saying it's the best, most entertaining novella they've gotten for free all year.  But it's only for those in The Inner Circle.

All These Things That I Love - April 2018

A monthly roundup of things that give me life...

All my favorite reality shows lately. Southern Charm is back!  (And I just caught the premiere of Southern Charm - New Orleans at lunch today. Y'ALL. This cast. We'll have to talk after some more episodes.)

The Queer Eye reboot is EVERYTHING. Cry, laugh, moisturize with a new Fab Five that you'll fall in love with. And Bethenny & Fredrik drove me nuts but I'm a sucker for New York real estate. I was disappointed they didn't invest in the Hamptons remodel. That would have been my ideal show, TBH.

Slightly chilled Lodi wines on the patio. This one was around $10 at Trader Joe's and I wish I'd bought extra. 

To 80's music! Hubs and I both read Ready Player One and had a movie date night after and because we're children of the 80's we enjoyed all the references and music soundtrack. 

Have you seen the movie or read the book? Or both? What did you think?

You’ve probably seen them in some of my Instagram posts (above, with READY PLAYER ONE), but I’m so in love with this purse clip. It’s discreet  enough to clip on the outside of your purse (see above) and really easy to hang on tables at restaurants (or the inside of restroom stalls that don’t have hooks – MY BIG PET PEEVE!!!)

I have the gunmetal version because like I said – discreet. Honestly, this would be a good thing to buy a bunch of, to keep on hand for gifts. Doesn't every woman need a good way to hang their handbag?

Best Purse Clip Ever. 

Now that I look back at this list, I'm having a very basic month - wine, reality TV and date nights. But honestly, sometimes we all just need to get back to basics and enjoy the simple things that make us happy.   Let me know what you're loving lately in the comments below or on my Facebook page and Instagram! Especially if you have wine recommendations. ;-)
