Spring Favorites: The Best In Beauty, Lifestyle, Tech, And More
This spring has been rather light. She ushered herself in quietly and has been unbothered since. To say I’ve been underwhelmed with her and her weather as a I don light jackets every other day is a an understatement. If you know anything about the South spring jumps in as the little sister of summer and sometimes you can’t tell the difference between the two seasons. I’ve been spending most of my time on my balcony enjoying the mild wealthier sipping coffee and letting my thoughts hit my journal. There have been a few things that I have been loving that are making it easier to achieve the look, life, and goals that I desire. Here’s what made the list.
The NARS AfterGlow Lip Balm in orgasm.It is described as a hydrating lip balm infused with antioxidants to nourish and protect lips. This is a great everyday balm for those who prefer the fresh faced on no makeup- makeup look to wear along or as a base to lip color. The balm feels smooth and substantial on the lips. It makes the lips feel lux and look luscious.
Aveenno baby oil cream. Light weight, fresh , and skin smoothing. This is my go to for keeping my skin smooth after baths. I picked it up in hopes that it have more a baby oil feel and sheen to the formula. But it more creamy with less shine. It is perfect for moisturizing at night. Its light enough for the warmer weather.
Palmer’s Skin Therapy Oil for the face. This light weight oil has been my go to night and day for the past few weeks for to moisturize. It claims to help with uneven skin tone, fine lines, I run to this every spring and summer. It’s a light weight oil that you can wear alone or layer with other face products for the dewy summer skin. I’ve found that it helps with dark marks and gives me that glowing even tone skin I crave for the summer.
Mental Health: Making it a practice to take care of your mental health is important to living happier/ healthier lives. This spring I have been incorporating daily journaling into my afternoon routine. Instead of rushing home to turn on my favorite show. I’ve been taking advantage of the warmer weather by retreating to my outdoor space with after noon coffee and my journal. It has been an excellent way to decompress from my work day and remind myself what I need to do to reach my goals.
Tech: I pad mini 6. This little device has come in clutch so many times I can’t count how many. I can stick the ipad in my work bag or purse and get work done on the go. I downsized from an iPad Air because I wanted to have more portability and I will say she has gave everything she needs to give. I have purchased a portable keyboard and pencil for use on the go. The ways I use my ipad are
- work in coffee shops to write articles and do research for social media
- film videos for youtube
- I use it as a dashboard via notion to key up with my projects
- I take phone and video calls
- I read books via kindle and listen to audio books
- Catch up my favorite shows
- Check emails
- Make lists, take notes and photographs
The ipad mini is a perfect device for moms on the go, entrepreneurs, and students. Think about picking one up if you’re looking for a device that can be a life companion.
Productivity: The book the 12 week year and monthly/ weekly resets have been a thing for the last couple of months. If your really interested in taking your goals to the next level check out the book the 12 week and these two videos on resets.
9-5 Life: The Long Champ Pilage mini tote bag has been a favorite for light work days. It fits all the essentials which include my ipad, planner, note book, and various daily work essentials. Its the perfect size for girl who wants to down size from a large work to tote to something a bit more practice. It can go along with you from the office to patio dinners without you looking weighed down with a large bag. This is a par down bag, it fits a lot but not everything. This is definitely a must have for spring/summer work life.
