This is a new series I’ve started on my (s)ub (s)tack and everybody loved it. I thought I would bring it here and see what you guys think of a periodic roundup of things that I am loving that are not necessarily makeup related. Let me know your thoughts! 1. For my birthday, I treated myself to a new tote bag. I use these every single day when I’m in Italy because I don’t have a car and I need to bring things with me. The one I have there now the handle got loose so I was looking for something high-quality. I did some research and I stumbled upon @Portland Leather. Let’s just say I’m hooked. 2. It’s no secret that I’m an @adidas girl. I have been for over 2 decades. I’ve always wanted a pair of burgundy sambas and I am absolutely in love with them. I’m also loving my bracelet stack. I got an Italian horn for my birthday from my friend @FunkyPuddle and it is a perfect addition. 3. Speaking of jewelry I have some new pieces from a jewelry brand that my friend @✨Lisa✨ UncagedGlam 💫 is selling. These garnet necklaces are on repeat. Go follow her. She goes live Wednesdays and Fridays if you wanna get in on the fun. 4. I’ve been using @Olive & June polish forever but recently I got into their at home gel system and I now have 8 colors. I don’t think I’ll ever look back. This looks like a salon gel manicure, and they last me two weeks. They’re also very easy to remove. 5. Books!! I’ve always been an avid reader, but the intensity has ebbs and flows, depending on what season I am in my life. Currently my TBR is jampacked on Goodreads. Two books I’ve already read : Wretched (a dark romance) and a very Italian wedding (contemporary romance (DNF’d) and currently reading two cozy mysteries (I explain why I read two books at the same time in the article) #monthlyfavorites #matureskinbeauty #books #fashionfavorites #favorites
