February '21 Recap
Hey guys, I am so excited to announce a new series I am doing on my blog! I am going to be starting monthly recaps and sharing everything I am loving at the moment; from beauty products, current wish lists, what I’m currently binge-watching, and so on. With that being said… let’s get into my February favorites!
Products I’m Loving
I have really been the beauty product guinea pig these past two months - trying so many new products. Most were flops, but I did find some really amazing products that I am totally obsessing over. I have really been looking for new skincare because my routine was just not working for my skin anymore and ended up finding my holy grail sunscreen. If you want to hear me ranting and raving about all the products linked below, check out my newest YouTube video!
what I’m watching
Peaky Blinders - This is not a show that I would normally watch but I am obsessed. Aside from the fact that the entire cast is unbelievably attractive - this Netflix Original show is addicting. I actually really love how short the seasons are (6 episodes each) because it feels like much less of a commitment. Sometimes I am hesitant about starting a new show that has so many episodes because I know it will take forever to get through. This show is definitely a must-watch!
The Crown - Once season 4 came out with the Princess Diana storyline… watching became a MUST! I have always been very inspired and captivated by Princess Diana; I have probably seen every documentary out there about her so I really wanted to watch how the Netflix show would portray her. I had seen season 1 a long time ago and had totally forgotten just about everything that happened so I needed to start over. I am currently on season 3 and love the show, I don’t think this is the best show to binge, just because each episode is kind of long but I would still recommend it!
what I’m reading
The Chiffon Trenches by Andre Leon Talley - I have been reading Andre Leon Talley’s new memoir over the past 2 weeks and it is amazing, but I expected nothing less. Andre is a legendary fashion journalist and editor - most recognizable for his red carpet interviews at The Met Gala or his time as a judge on America’s Next Top Model. I had seen his documentary and listened to a few podcasts he had been featured on and assumed that I had known pretty much everything. I was wrong. Reading his memoir is such an insightful and intimate look into his life and his impressive career. I would 100% recommend this book to anyone interested in the world of fashion or journalism.
Blowing My Way to the Top by Jen Atkin - Celebrity hairstylist and founder of Ouai - Jen Atkin announced she was coming out with a book and I needed to pick it up. I can say that I think her book is a mix between a memoir and a self-help book. She mixes her personal stories with advice and words of encouragement - I linked Atkin’s book below if you are interested in reading it for yourself!
march Wish list
I am fully aware that I have an insane shopping problem. I am always browsing online for new products and have a huge file on my desktop filled with screenshots of things I think I need. These are all the current items that I have my eye on and will hopefully be purchasing soon. My number one item that I have been obsessing over is a Lady Dior handbag - this is the next bag on my wishlist. After trying tons of skincare, I really want to start looking for new makeup too. Charlotte Tilbury is my favorite makeup brand so I really want to try out some new products. This is an unrealistic list but… a girl can dream.
