LINK-END ROUND-UP: February 7, 2025 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy Friday! I hope you made the most of your first week of February 2025 as you could. I know it’s been difficult and troublesome for many, which includes me. For mental stability, I took step back from consuming too much of the news. I felt like “what will b will be”, but then I remembered that I don’t like surprises and we all need to pay attention. There will be a time when we all come to conclusion that we all need to come together for us all. Not exactly we have to wait for that to happen, but praying that it’s sooner than later.

My plans for this weekend is to spend Saturday deep cleaning my apartment. This deep clean is so long overdue, but needs to be completely done before Sunday. This Sunday isn’t just any Sunday; it’ Super Bowl Sunday. Also, it’s not just any teams this year, it’s a rematch from Super Bowl 2023 when my Eagles squared up against the Chiefs. That win started the Chiefs on winning the last 2 big games. Not only we trying to stop that streak, but we are trying to get our lick back.

I’m going to spend Sunday preparing to watch the game, but at home eating wings and nachos! I shared a link to some recipes to prepare for the big game below, as well as some other good reads. Here’s to a fabulous weekend and please check our the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up. GO BIRDS!!!

LUST-HAVE LIST: February 2025 | STAINED COUTURE

Happy February! I’m sure I’m not the only one that feels like January felt longer than usual. Honestly, it’s been a rough time for us, but I have faith. Plus, I’m just looking for things that make me happy and enjoy life as much as possible.

Although the winter weather hasn’t been too bad, I’m still wanting spring to pull up. I want to be outside in warm weather with my toes out and being happy. We are difficult and uncertain times, which make me want to find hope and happiness wherever possible. Hence, you will see that the things I’m wanting this month are more for the warmer months.

So, check out the items I’m wanting by the end of the February. Also, please let me know if there is something that you’re eyeing this month.

LUST-HAVE LIST: February 2024

Hydrating & Repair Foundation – My skin and make-up needs more hydration. Therefore, I want to try this foundation, because the claim to hydrate and provide full-coverage sounds perfect for me.
Blemish Gel Cream – This creams helps to brighten skin and clear up breakouts? Yep – I must find out for myself! Not only have been working on breakouts, but skin has become dull.
Gold Bolt Earring – Recently, I accidentally pulled out one of my initial earrings from Aurate and watched it go down my bathroom sink. Sadly, they no longer offer that earring BUT they do offer this plan bolt earring. I think this would make a cool replacement.
High-Rise Cutout Jeans – Speaking off cool stuff – how fabulous are these high-rise jeans that have the perfect cutout on the side. These are going to be perfect for spring and summer looks.
Denim Sneakers – When I saw these denim sneakers, I immediately knew that they would be perfect for spring and summer.

Panoxyl Products To Try

PanOxyl Products | STAINED COUTURE

A few years, I was dealing with a bad case of adult acne. After doing some research, I kept hearing about PanOxyl face wash. Eventually, the cleanser became a must-have for me overall skincare must-haves and gone through quite a few bottles. So much so, that I ran out of one night and immediately hopped in my car to grab another bottle. Unfortunately, the store I went to were all of the foaming face wash, but there were other options that I’ve been overlooking. So, I decided this was a good time to try some other products from one of my favorite acne brands.

Believe me when I say this, but I’m almost back on track with posting regularly on here. For the past 6+ months, work was consuming a lot of my energy. Therefore, this caused me to really not have a lot of time for the extracurricular activities, which my site falls under. I still love blogging after almost 20 years () , but I really need to have the desire and time to do it. Unfortunately, it was becoming hard to get that perfect blend to happen as much as I would’ve liked. However, like I said, I’m almost back on track! 🙂

As for this weekend, I have plans to meet with a group of girlfriends tomorrow. As for Sunday, it’s all about rooting for my E.A.G.L.E.S on to VICTORY! So, an exciting, but nervous weekend. While I sit impatiently, please check out the links in this week’s Link-End Round-Up.
