Happy Friday everyone! The days are running together and the weekend seems much like every other day, but nevertheless, it is the weekend and we should celebrate. We’re planning to make a nice brunch on Sunday and relax, and the weather is looking beautiful! Do you all have plans for your weekend staycation?

Today, I’m sharing a few online purchases that I’ve made over the past couple of weeks. They may seem somewhat random, but all of them are things that I really like and use or will wear (shoes of course). As you know, I did a YouTube video with IS Clinical and Alamance Esthetics…it was all about self care during the quarantine and it featured a Warming Honey Facial. Part of the facial is steaming your face while the product is on so that it can sink into your pores and do its job. I had to get in the shower to steam and it would have been so much easier with a facial steamer…so I ordered one on Amazon. I can’t wait to do another facial this weekend with my new steamer.

Next up is a new book called Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. I don’t even remember where I heard about it, but I’m excited to start reading it and I’ll give you a review when I’m finished.

I also ordered CHOCOLATE…I was craving some really dark chocolate and these Chocolate Bars from Raaka were just what I wanted. They are Bourbon Cask Aged 82% Cacao Chocolate Bars with just a faint bourbon taste making them even more delicious! Even though I ordered them from Amazon, I still feel goodL

There are a handful of makeup products that I cannot live without and one of them is YSL Touche Eclat High Cover Radiant Undereye Concealer Pen. I love the coverage and it has been my favorite concealer for many years. The color that works best for me is #2. I also ordered a new eyebrow pencil from YSL that I really like - Couture Brow Slim Eyebrow Pencil. I ordered it in two colors - Blonde Cendre and Natural Brown, one is a little darker…I like the lighter one more, but when I want my makeup to be a little more dramatic, I can fill in with the darker color.

I’ve been wanting a pair of white espadrilles and when I saw these by Shutz for 40% off, they immediately went into my Nordstrom cart. They are a great height for me and now all I need is a place to wear them!

A couple of years ago, I bought a pair of white sunglasses for $10 from Target and I’ve worn them so much, but I’ve had my eye out for an upgrade and this cat eye style from Diff are just what I was looking for, and they didn’t break the bank!

Since I was in the hospital last year about this time and taking high doses of powerful antibiotics, I’ve been more prone to getting UTIs. They are no fun so I’ve been taking a cranberry supplement to help prevent them. I tried the Harmony D-Mannose from EU Natural to balance and cleanse…so far, so good!

And, last but not least, since I’ve been working out at home, I ordered these Walito Resistance Bands to add a little resistance (or a lot) to squats, leg lifts, etc. They come in three sizes with different levels of resistance so you can choose. I’m making a video tomorrow to show you how I’ve been using them, but needless to say, they have made my workout so much better!
