Recently, I jacked up my skin barrier by adding a new product to my nightime skincare routine. I literally woke up the next morning with small white bumps all over my skin and slight inflammation. Once I realized what did it, it was time to repair my skin barrier.

LINK-END ROUND-UP: January 20, 2023
Hey to another Friday after another short work week! The love/hate relationship I have with short work weeks is insane, especially after a month of being in out of the office. In the end, I do appreciate them. 😊
I finally agreed that I will be renewing my lease for another year. I did think about moving to a new place, but the location is great and I do love my apartment. Plus, the rent prices are still insane in my area and for I want. So, staying put made the best sense and my increase wasn’t that much. Now I know why I’ve rarely see anyone move out despite the cost of our rent.
I don’t know about where you live, but Spring weather has slowly started to show up. My BFF noticed her daffodils were starting to grow in her backyard and I woke up to birds chirping outside my window for the last 2 days. It’s only January, which means it’s too soon and it’s making me nervous about the next couple of months. I’m still going to enjoy this weather, tho!
Last weekend, I definitely took advantage of not having to go to work on Monday. So, this weekend is all about relaxing as much as possible. However, my Eagles are playing their first game of the playoffs this weekend. So, maybe it won’t be as relaxing as I would like, but I’m still excited. Also, I just finished week 1 of my 21 days of no meat of coffee. It was rough for a minute, but I have a bevy of meatless meals that I can make. Also, cheers to Chia lattes for curing my iced coffee cravings.
I hope you have a great weekend and enjoy the reads in this week’s Link-End Round-Up!

EMPTIES: December 2022
Welp, I didn’t use up many items in December and they were mostly deluxe sample and travel sizes. However, I do think that they are worth sharing. So, keep reading to see my final take on the products that I used up last month.

LINK-END ROUND-UP: January 13, 2023
Happy Friday and the first Friday the 13th of 2023! It’s funny that, as a child, Friday the 13th was such a “spooky” day. However, as an adult, I spend it sipping wine while watching true crime TV. Well, my plans tonight include having dinner and catchng up with 2 friends at Benihana. Still, I may finish the night with a glass of wine. I will raise a glass to those of you participating in Dry January.
I’ve never done Dry January, because I rarely drink. Did you know that Dry January has only been around for 10 years? It was started to help people pay attention to their alcohol consumption. This especially true for those that feel like they drink alor or consumed too much over the holiday season. Not to mention, their are many benefits to Dry January – I shared some links below. 😉
Most people are about to take in the 3-Day MLK weekend and I’m one of them. As usual, I plan to chill this weekend, but there is one thing that I would like to do – get my nails done. It’s been a long time since I got some extensions professionally applied to my nails. Plus, I’ve been wanting a fresh set of french tips, which used to be my go-to nails of choice. However, this was before I discovered gel nail art. Plus, I’m a little scared to see how much the cost due to everything seeming to cost double now. So, wish me luck!
I really hope you all have a great weekend and take some for yourself. Also, please check out the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.

My daily go-to eye make-up look is just mascara and liquid liner. It’s simple and doesn’t take away from if I decide to do a red lip or makes a “just powder and gloss” day look more put together. At the moment, all the products I use to achieve this look are all Lancome eye products.
