What To Wear to a Niall Horan TSLOT Concert

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I attended the Niall Horan concert The Show Live On Tour last week and I am going to share with you what to wear to a Niall Horan concert.

When I googled “What To Wear To a Niall Horan Concert” and “Niall Horan Concert Ideas” and looked on TikTok I found a lot of cute ideas and a video of Niall saying “Wear whatever you like, come as you are” which is so sweet and kind. I saw a lot of denim on denim, oversized tees, crochet, daisy patterns, or cute tanks with cut-off shorts. And LOTS of white sneakers.

DIY Rhinestone Fringe Denim Jacket

Are you going to any fun concerts this summer? Let me know in the comments!

DENMAN HAIR BRUSHES | Mason Pearson Dupe?

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

When Denman Brushes reached out to me I was so excited. I am notorious for not replacing my brushes until they’re scraping my scalp, and beyond our Wet Brushes, we are lacking in the brush department. I would love a Mason Pearson someday, but that is in no way in my current budget, so I am excited to share the Denman brushes with you in case you’re also not willing to pay $275 for a hairbrush.

Denman Style and Shine D81M

I am so excited because the Denman Style and Shine D81M brush looks incredibly similar to the Mason Pearson famously expensive brush for less than 10% of the price. I have never touched or used the Mason Pearson, but I will tell you that the Denman Style and Shine brush made my hair shine in a way that none of my other brushes do. I was actually surprised when I walked past a mirror because I hadn’t used any different products and then remembered that I’d used this brush for the first time. It also uses real boar bristles, and I am a believer. A big win! This would be an incredible gift for your daughter, sister, mother, or friend! And it’s less than 6 months until Christmas, just saying, it’d fit in a stocking.

Denman Wet Detangler

I was excited for this! I love my Wet Brush Paddle Brush but I do not use that in the shower. This is really nice for my daughter and my longhaired son to use in the shower to make sure the conditioner is evenly distributed.

What hair brushes do you use? I’d love to know!

What To Wear to the Ballet | Rent The Runway

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

If I caught you by the title and that’s your only reason for being here, I’ll cut to the chase; You can wear whatever you’d like. Check the venue and company, but most ballets now do not have a formal dress code. That said, I think anytime you attend any fine arts performance, from a 5th-grade band concert to a Broadway show, you should dress up. Now, that’s a wide range and my go-to for most things is “snappy casual” (business casual if you weren’t a sorority girl) but for a ballet in the city at a historic venue my friends and I decided to go all-out in gowns. There were people dressed up, but we were some of the most dressed up. And the result? We got many compliments, people asking where our dresses were, an older gentleman who had a great knowledge of the arts told us he appreciated that we dressed up as a sign of respect and how special it was. You can never be “overdressed”. I rented a gown from Rent The Runway and I wanted to share my thoughts.

Badgley Mischka Draped Dolman Sleeve Chiffon Gown

As described on the website I felt elegant in this lavender pink gown.

Drapey, dreamy, and utterly divine—our Draped Dolman Sleeve Chiffon Gown is a breath of elegance. The gown seems to float on air, with each fold and gather of the chiffon designed to sculpt your figure and move in sync with you. This creates a generous cut that billows and flows with every step you take, providing a graceful yet dreamlike aura.

Product Features

The gown starts with a V wrap-neckline that delicately frames your décolletage, leading into the artful drapery that defines the chiffon bodice. Taking a cue from the classic Dolman style, the sleeves boast a generous cut that billows and flows, adding a whisper of elegance to every gesture.

Clean Fragrances | Rosy & Earnest Review

& Leave a Comment

I enjoy making everyday events special. When Rosy & Earnest reached out and offered to send me their new Gourmond collection fragrances, I jumped at the chance.

Rosy & Earnest Fragrance

I light a candle when we eat pizza on the couch and play background music when I cook, and while I live a very simple life, fragrance is an area where I believe in indulging. I have always adored the idea of my children having memories of my signature scent, so I purposefully selected a fragrance when they were small that I wear almost daily. I keep the fragrance I wore when my husband and I were first dating in my rotation, as well as the scent I wore on our wedding. I have fragrances that I’ve created scent memories with fragrance on vacations and have taught my daughter, who is 13, to do the same.

Rosy & Earnest Pistachio Delight

This one is my personal favorite. It is SO GOOD. Delicious. Irresistible. Decedant. Pistachio chip notes meet creamy vanilla, rich musk, and intense wood.

Rosy & Earnest Vanilla Royal Rum

Intoxicating. Addictive. Tempting. A swirl of amber rum mixed with suave vanilla and intense oak.

The BEST Shorts – Lululemon Look For Less

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

As a mom, I also want comfortable clothing that looks put together. When I’m watching soccer games, going to the park, or spending time on the weekends outdoors in the warm weather, I like athleisure. I looked on Amazon and found this pair of highly-reviewed shorts.

LULULEMON SHORTS LOOK FOR LESS

These are very similar to the Lululemon running shorts, but a lot more affordable. I do have running shorts that I wear exclusively for running, but I wanted some casual shorts that were not part of my workout wardrobe. These shorts are perfect. Affordable, quick-drying, pockets that zip, and a flattering fit. I like to pair these with my Lululemon Swiftly shirt and my favorite New Balance 574s.

The BEST Makeup Sponges On Amazon

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! I recently purchased a highly reviewed makeup sponge, a beauty blender dupe, and an affordable beauty sponge, that is the best makeup sponge on Amazon.

The BEST Makeup Sponges On Amazon

The Beakey Makeup Sponge Set of 6 from Amazon is incredible. They do absorb a tiny bit more makeup than more expensive sponges, so they do get dirty, but because they are so affordable I use each sponge for about a month before I use another one. They’re soft and expand to be a really large sponge that I use for foundation, concealer, cream bronzer, blush, and highlight.

Bubble Deep Dive AHA-PHA Exfoliating Mask

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I’ve recently been watching a lot of dermatology YouTube content and I recently watched a video by Doctorly reviewing the viral Bubble Skincare and when they said the Bubble Deep Dive AHA-PHA Exfoliating Mask was one of their top products not just in Bubble Skincare’s range but of all products they’d tried in a calendar year? I decided to give it a try.

Bubble Deep Dive AHA-PHA Exfoliating Mask

What are AHAs? AHAs are a type of exfoliating acid known as alpha-hydroxy acids

What are BHAs? PHAs (poly-hydroxy acids) are chemical exfoliants. They belong to a group of acids with a larger molecular size than AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids) and BHAs (beta-hydroxy acids). Therefore, they penetrate less deeply into the epidermis and are more suitable for sensitive skin or skin conditions.

The Bubble Skincare line is largely targeted to Gen Z, and I love that they’re offering an affordable skincare line for the younger set who is looking for a comprehensive skincare line. The AHA-PHA mask jumped out to me because it sounds similar to the Drunk Elephant Sukari Baby Facial but at a fraction of the price and the Doctorly video said they could easily see the same product in fancier packaging going for $100.

I use the Bubble Dive AHA-PHA Exfoliating mask once each week during my evening skincare routine. I apply it to clean skin and leave it on for 10-15 minutes before applying a moisturizer.

I love this product! The price is right, the packaging is cute and functional, and it’s a great drugstore price point but a quality skincare item.

Color of the Year Party Outfit | 2024 Peach Fuzz

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Last week my sister had a spring fling party with the theme “Color of the Year”. The color of the year for 2024 is Peach Fuzz, so today I am going to share the outfits that my husband, our daughter, and I wore.

Peach Outfits

The star of the show was my Hill House Home nap dress. I can’t wait to wear it again. It’s a stunner! The tulle is heavy, which did pull the neckline down despite the use of fashion tape, so next time I might try a strapless bra. That said, it’s one of the most fun and captivating dresses I’ve ever worn. Lovely!

The Tulle Ellie Nap Dress – Blush Glitter Tulle

Our daughter was precious as can be in a romper that I found online at Walmart! She’s itty bitty, but tall, so it can be hard to find things that fit let alone for such an affordable price. The quality isn’t incredible, but it looked much more expensive and she is excited to wear it again for occasions when she can dress up a bit, I love how she rocked it with her (well, mine but she wears them more than I do…) Air Force Ones.

Peach/Coral Romper

Cream Blazer *Similar

Stephan wore a light red linen blend shirt that is so soft and doesn’t wrinkle terribly because it’s a blend with linen blend pants. His shoes, a hit, are going to be his go-to summer snappy casual option over his boat shoes this year.

Men’s Camp Collar Linen Blend Shirt

Pull-On Trouser

Men’s Huarache Sandal Nisolo

Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Cream | Does it work for combo skin?

& Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday! Today is a big day. I try a lot of products that I receive in PR but most don’t stick around too long because I have my basics locked in (affordable and dependable) but the Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Cream has become such a game-changer for me that I will be keeping it in my evening skincare moisturizer rotation.

Peach & Lily Matcha Pudding Cream

I use this in the evening because I have combo skin. I do get oily in my t-zone but I use tretinoin, and hyaluronic acids in my evening skincare so I do tend to need a good moisturizer to combat the dryness those can cause. The consistency of this is unique, feels like pudding in this light, soft, fluffy way, and it feels special to use which I love. I think the price-point is fair and for me a small amount goes a long way. This has made my skin noticeably brighter, and less red.

Highlights

  • Packed with antioxidants to help protect against environmental stressors
  • Drenches skin with instant and long-lasting hydration for skin that feels velvety-soft and supple
  • Complexion looks visibly brighter and more even
  • Sumptuous pudding texture soaks into skin without heaviness

Description

Peach & Lily’s Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream drenches skin with antioxidants and fights premature aging. A weightless pudding texture delivers deep hydration without sitting heavy on skin.

KEY INGREDIENTS:
Matcha: derived from green tea, loaded with antioxidants to soothe and help protect against environmental stressors
Peptide Complex + Adenosine: celebrated proven ingredients to help target fine lines, wrinkles and leave skin visibly looking and feeling firmer, smoother and more lifted
Niacinamide: creates a visibly brighter appearance and targets dark spots
Cape Lilac: calms skin with anti-inflammatory properties

Have you tried this? I got it as a birthday freebie and I am so thrilled with it!
