June Favs

Beauty· lifestyle· Uncategorized

I’m crying over the fact that June is pretty much gone. I always get sad at this point during the summer. School will be back in session before we know it and although I love teaching, nothing beats summer time! 
Today I’m sharing my June favorites with y’all. I’ve made a big effort in upping my skin care game and I’ve done great this month! I have a whole bunch of empties to share with y’all later this week!
Here are my favorite products/things from this month, including a dupe for Lush’s Ocean Salt! 
My favorite book this month was The Husband’s Secret, although Big Little Lies was equally as good. If I had to pick one, it would be this one. You can read my June Book Reviews here. 

I saw this product on a quick Ulta trip and thought to myself “That would never work”. But then I started reading the back of the bottle and figured I’d try it out. I am loving this moisturizer! You put it on as soon as you get out of the bath or shower. Even before you dry off. You put this product on and then dry off. It’s suppose to be strong enough that you don’t have to moisturizer your skin afterwards, but I still do. I don’t feel like it is a stand alone moisturizer, but it provides a good base. Plus, it smells good! 🙂 I only use it at night.

 I have been loving the ‘beautiful day’ scent from Bath and Body Works this month. Their body butters are my favs! They are so great at moisturizing your skin without feeling greasy. The scent is great for summer… light and fresh! They are also on sale right now so stock up!

This Pixi nail color in Fluoro Flamingo is the perfect summer color! The online picture looks nothing like its true color, which is more how it’s seen here. Let me warn you…it’s bright! I love it on my toes!

I’m skeptical of all these gel top coats out there right now. Of course, that didn’t stop me for buying them! I’m really impressed with the one by Essie. My nails went 3 days without chipping, which is great for me because my nail polish is always chipping after the first day! #teacherproblems 
This topcoat also made them really shinny!

I’m usually a lipstick girl, but for those no makeup/light makeup days, I’ve been loving the NYX butter gloss in strawberry parfait. The formula of these glosses is really good. They aren’t sticky at all. Love!

Philosophy’s margarita scent is quite possibly my favorite scent ever. I’ve used their body wash in this scent before, but it doesn’t stay with you after your bath or shower. It smells fabulous during the shower, but you can’t smell it afterwards. This foot cream isn’t like that. I’ve been using it on my feet before bedtime and sleeping in socks. I’m now searching to see if they have a lotion in this scent. It is perfect for summer! 

Another random laundry product, but I just had to share the Gain Scent Boosters in Tropical Sunrise. Oh my goodness this is a good one! It fills my entire laundry room with a delicious smell and make your clothes smell great too! This is my new favorite of all the scent boosters. 
FYI: I only like the bead-like ones, not the little bags of powder. I’ve had problems with those not breaking all the way and not washing out of the wash. That hasn’t been an issue with the bead ones though.

Game Changer! I LOVE Lush’s Ocean Salt, but it is expensive! $35! I found this one from C. Booth at Ulta that is just like Ocean Salt, but better! And at $9 a tub it’s a whole lot cheaper! I cannot get over how great this product is! The grains are bigger in this one as compared to the Ocean Salt, providing a stronger scrub. I’ve noticed a huge difference in my skin after using this. Love, love, love!

It’s been HOT this summer and I’ve been loving my Ashley Brooke Designs Ice Ice Baby tumbler! I really want this one too!

    Love it all! I place the fireworks beads in a wax warmer in my classroom. It melts just like wax and makes my classroom smell WONDERFUL! It also lasts a little longer, too!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!
This WILL BE the year I *finally* read Elin Hilder This WILL BE the year I *finally* read Elin Hilderbrand’s holiday series. This has been on my list for years and year! Have y’all read it?? #holidayreading #elinhilderbrand #winterstreet #christmasbooks #booksbooksbooks
Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
